What should i be asking?

[Johnwebster12]

Got 12 months to run on my PCP for my Z4MC with a GFV of £21500. (May 2007 car)

My misus is now in the club with number two. So got to start thinking of a reluctant change.

Spec is:
Black Sapphire
Light Sepang Bronze nappa leather
storage compartment
Front Heated seats
Nav professional
Bluetooth phone prep & Telematics
Tracker monitor
Milage 16000. FSH.

Not much on the market to compare with. Any thoughts. thanks.

Do you need to sell it quickly, or hang out for the full 9 months

[Johnwebster12]

Baby isnt due for 7 months yet, so plenty of time to sell. Or i can hand it back in 12 months.

Having recently bought a Z4MC, I would say yours is worth a grand or so more your GFV for a private sale. They are in short supply at the moment and at the right price they sell quickly. Prices seem to be holding up/even increasing at the moment so I would advertise at just under £23k. If you can hang on longer I don't think you will loose much more in the coming months.
Don't know what a BMW dealer would offer, they would probably want to pull your pants down and do the business......

Thought as much, dont mind loosing a bit, i can hide a couple of k from my wife, but might have to hang on to it until i can hand it back.

I will see what happens over the next 6 months.

(by the way... love the car, forced into a corner a bit)

Thanks

John,

Your car is not dissimilar to mine (same colour inside and out, similar spec).

Major diffs on mine are:

- 2006 56 car
- about 18k miles
- No Tracker Monitor

I was offered 18k as a starting point trade in from a BMW dealer about 2 months ago, but believe prices have firmed up slightly from there, so I would say 23-24k for a private sale is probably on the money.

Where have you been putting the first one?

[Johnwebster12]

Could just about get away with one child (Misus walks) only joking she has her own car.

With two children i'm just gona struggle picking up from nursery etc.

I will have to get rid. Will not be a good day when it comes. Thinking Maser Quattroporte or M5 at the mo, they both seem very good value 3yrs old.

If you have a second car anyway, i'd 'manage' with yours until it reaches the end of its PCP deal, which you're realistically talking is 5 months after the birth.

You will be in a fantastic buying position with no car to trade in, particularly given your car may not be worth its PCP price by then.

[Johnwebster12]

Food for thought.

I did hear (somewhere on this forum) that BMW finance offered the owner the car at the end of the pcp for 15.5K

If they did that i would get it just as toy and keep it for weekends

[fridaypassion]

I'd imagine at the moment they would be desperate to get it in the AUC system TBH.

Agreed there is a shortage of Z4MCs at the moment so they would want it.
