BMW Approved Used Z4M Coupe now under £30k!

[Deutscher]

Yes, the spec is dubious, but I'm staggered to see that you can grab one of these beauties as an AUC for under £30k!

Still, its a bargain and a half. If I hadn't of bought my CSL, I'd be tempted by one ... can't see them falling much further/harder?

[CatherineJ]

When my Z4C was sold by the dealer, they unfortunately won the closed Auction for it, they had it for sale at less than £28k.

Spec was 3.0Si Sport
Stratus Grey
Black Leather
Bluetooth
Comfort Pack
Heated Seats

Says on the ad, Vat qualifying, does that mean + vat, or inc vat price?

[carl_w]

I think it means that if you're a company you can lease it and reclaim the VAT

Well it's definately a BMW GB car and as has been said previously it has been on the press fleet rather than a management car.

I'm sure it has been pushed hard to date, but at the end of the day it still has the balance of the warranty so it could be a very good buy. Undoubtedly it will be damn quick.

Press Prepared

Babelfish says "has had the sh1t ragged out of it, and has done 1000 drop clutch starts!!!!!"

..yes, but probably had 'special' pre-delivery checks and was probably 'super-fettled'.

BTW 'VAT qualifying' means that under certain circumstances you can get the VAT BACK, not that the VAT is extra.

Maybe there's still 1000 fags and a few quid in notes tucked under the seats............

Well I'm gonna check it out, see if I can claim the vat back as i'm vat registered, then car is £25.5K.

Seems too good to be true :-)

[CatherineJ]

Yes but you can't reclaim 100% of the VAT on a car, only commercials.

[taffyracer]

But it;s a crap spec, 1 year old and nearly 10,000 on the clock, for 2k more I have just bought a 6month old 4,000 miles fully loaded version

Sounds like you got a great deal

You can if you are a vehicle leasing company as long as the vehicle has remained VAT qualifying since new.

[taffyracer]

Yes I did, it had to be otherwise I'd have bought a 5series diesel, glad i came to my senses!

I think you are missing the point mate... The Z4M Coupe does not need heated seats or SatNav with DVD... It's a driver's car... If you wanted these - get a M3...

No mate, read the post again, the post was about how good a deal is available on that particular Z4, the fact was it was not that great, are you saying that you would be happy to accept a car that has twice the mileage, no spec and in relative terms pay more for less just because you regard these bits as not needed in a drivers car? If so you're a lunatic, having decided on the Z4MC I personally couldn't care if it was pink, its all about the deal for me and whether it has heated seats or not is immaterial if the deal is right, and that means getting the best spec/lowest mileage/lowest cost to change most RV strong car available, some would call this prudent
