I sold my motorbike to buy the Z3 last year & have never regretted it.
Nice car but I think its a little too high on price as dealers are selling similar Zeds for around 6k

PRICE DROP TO £5995!

I would probably accept £5500. Seems like so much car for the money :(

Shame this wasn't for sale when I was looking as I'd have liked the latest model possible and a Sport to boot. FWIW I paid £5,500 for my 2001/Y reg 3.0 non Sport @ 61,000 miles from a dealer, but this was back at the end of February hence I knocked £500 his asking price. I shouldn't really look at other sale threads as I suspect I paid a bit too much even then, but I didn't want a project, just something to 'tinker' with, which so far seems to be the case. Though I've still spent money on it, but mostly fuel rather than spares. :) With the better(?) weather coming perhaps the prices will be stronger for you. Good luck with the sale.

That does make me think that £5995 is a bit of a bargain price. No calls in nearly a week since the price drop though :? !

As you say shame it wasn't up while you were looking. Would like it to go to someone that will look after it like yourself.

The weather hasn't been too great lately (at least in Berkshire) so maybe a bit of sunshine might help. The other thing is that you're close to early Z4 money (even though they will have more miles and smaller engines at those prices), plus you're not a dealer so may struggle with a higher price (the private sale examples I looked at were usually a fair bit cheaper, though I only found 2.8s privately when I was looking).

Just looking again at the advert it doesn't mention any service history other than the recently completed jobs and the (big) service. If it has any History might be worth putting that in. Many cars I looked at had BMW history upto 40,000 miles and independants afterwards for example. It didn't put me off looking, as is the one I ended up with, but the early history is nice to have. If you've done the work yourself, then mention a big folder of history (for the parts). I did a search for 3.0 Z3 on AT and while yours isnt the cheapest, the other ones have more miles on them. Some being well above yours (more like 'M' money IMHO) with lower mileages, so hard to know what to suggest apart from that larger engined cars aren't that sought after, but hopefully the better examples will sell.

I had a smile to myself as I notice that a certain 3.0 auto is still for sale: I saw it at the dealer when I was looking and thought it looked a bit scruffy for the price, though he's knocked a grand off what I saw it for two months ago. I wasn't after an auto (he had a 1.9 as well at the time) but wouldn't even enter into a discussion about prices when I made a 5% off attempt on the 1.9.

Better not look at any more otherwise I might wish I'd waited like for yours, especially as you're only 13 miles from me according to AT.

Yeah, it is my private plate that i have now removed.

I have put it on Ebay now for £6499 whilst giving people the chance to make offers. Hopefully that will drum up some more interest.

Not wishing to appear rude, but if it didn't attract interest at £5995 I'm not sure increasing the price buy £500 will help it to shift, especially on Ebay.

As I said I bought mine for £5,500 from a dealer with (whatever) protection that gives over a private sale with slightly more miles (61K), full service history (BMW history upto 40,000 miles). So pretty much the same car as yours (bar being a 'Sport') one year older. FWIW had it been a private sale I would have expected to £500 or maybe a little more off, so under £5k. I know you said you'd take offers on a car, but I wouldn't expect to get £1,000 off a £6,500 car (I think you said you'd take £5,500 if you had to?) so perhaps the asking price is still a bit high given what you are expecting to get for it.

Again, I don't wish to appear rude, just giving the view of a recent Z3 3.0 buyer in the hope it's of some help. Put it another way, despite the detailing and cosmetic improvements I've been doing on my Z3 I wouldn't expect to get much more than perhaps £4,750 for mine should I try to sell it now.

I'd be looking to get the rear window replaced if you want to achieve the best price for the car.

TBH, it's the only thing putting me off. With a young family I'd not get time to have it sorted out myself so would rather pay a bit more for a car that is ready to go.

As per your recommendations the price has been dropped on both Autotrader and Ebay to £5600.

I thought about getting the window replaced but it doesnt leak and its that noticable so doesnt technically need doing.

Hope you get a sale Graham. :)

I feel a bit bad for my earlier post, hope it didn't come across as rude. If it doesn't sell at that price (or close to it) then that's a shock to all of us Z3 owners. I know marque specific forums tend to value their own cars higher than elsewhere, but I don't think you're being over optimistic at the new price.

Hi Graham,

I think the market is flat at the moment. I have had mine advertised for a little while at £4995 with very little interest, only 2 phone calls and 1 viewer (complete time waster).

Times are tough!

ADVICE WANTED :S -Re: FOR SALE: 2002 Z3 3.0 M Sport - INDIVI

Post by GrahamNorton »

Hi all,

I still have my car up for sale. I have had a few interested people:

- 1 turned up, was all positive and said he was going to go home and check insurance quotes. He then decided he could not afford the car.

- 1 rearranged twice and after a few conversations and coming across very positive did not turn up to the viewing.

- 1 rearranged twice and then said he was going away on business for three weeks (as of last tuesday)

I am truly sick of time wasters and its costing me over £100 a month on temporary insurance and advertising. Someone (yet to view the car) has offered me £4700. He has come up from £4500 and says he cannot go any higher. I feel tempted to take the offer to be honest. I dont know how much money im likely to get if i wait for someone else. Its just numbers to me at the moment and am worried im about to sell myself short :?

Sorry to hear you are being messed about.

Well I for one am very interested in your car hence posting a couple of times in the thread already!

I dropped a massive hint about the rear window, it was the only thing putting me off to be honest and if a deal included you getting the window sorted (and perhaps putting 12 months MoT on it) I would've probably gone further with things. I apologise for not being clearer as I admit I didn't say this as such, but that was my thought process.

It's worth what the market will bear. I would suggest it is worth more than £4500. I'd send you a deposit sight unseen if you offered it to me for a price beginning with a 4 and I will get the window sorted myself!

Happy to discuss a deal via PM if you want to get in touch.

I am not sure if this applies generally but when I was first in the market for my s54 ///M I was also considering the 3.0 litre. The thing was the insurance quotes were pretty much the same for both which swayed me towards the ///M. :wink:

Looking at photos is never the same but your rear screen looks like it just needs some renovation. I had a new hood when mine was 11yrs old and my window wasn't as cloudy as that.

I use This product or you can buy it on Amazon. Just take your time with it - use it both sides of the window, it's a bit awkward doing the inside but well worth it.

Indeed.

Lovely couple bought it for £5300. Think they are on here under the guise of 'Olly2012'

Was sad to see it go :-(.

Happy Zedding one and all
