In fairness, that’s only slightly over Autotrader’s retail price (circa £10200)

Very leggy, missing bits of the dubious bodykit and no movement on price - this guy is deluded!

He did have it at £9.5k when first listed in March, and seems to have been very indecisive on the price since, I think he'd take an offer, based on the other ones on Autotrader (his is the most expensive T-Sport and looks by far the worst) I'd offer £2k.

This looked expensive to me:- https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202406130...

I bought my manual E90 330i SE on 107K miles for half that 5 years ago!

There was another lower mileage blue one advertised for £8.5K a few days ago. As much as I loved my E46s my E9*s were just as good, and less prone to rust.

In fairness too I’m amazed that 10 year old Jazz’s are fetching £9k plus and this isn’t a one off.

Wowzers....

[Fermit]

Yeah, they're great cars (a friend had one, when we were teens) but are they now seriously worth over 11 bags of sand?

Maybe it's just me, but I'm getting much more MG RV8 than 250 California from that. Certainly from the back.

I'm sure it's done to a high standard but for the life of me I never understand these repros.

[Whatapex]

I can't stop laughing at this one.
Advert a month ago,it's been for sale a few years at this price.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116141392221?itmmeta=01...

Shockingly hasn't sold,maybe because the last MOT shows that it might be scrapped when the next MOT is needed in a few months.
So what to do ? Yes a change in price might be needed...

I've seen one of these 'in the flesh' and they are very nice indeed - GRP is flawless. I agree they look MGB ish, but to my eye the genuine California does also. In fairness there are some good bodkits for Z3, in particular these is a Tribute Aston - ish that whilst labelled not as a replica, but an 'evocation' looks very nice (and certainly a lot better than a Z3. There is also a 'Bertini' bodykit which again has flawless GRP and is an original design - some of these bodykits are certainly worth a look to improve a Z3 - I would never pay 90k for one though! So IMHO very much overpriced

Surely you've got to have mental issues to think that stty old Saab is worth more than about 2.5k , especially given all the money (not cheap ) that's had to be spent fixing the multitude of issues. It's not mint collectors piece, it's just an old Saab. I'd go as high as 1K for it myself in the expectation of binning it off when the next expensive thing fails or rusts away.

He's been trying to sell that for what feels like years now. I'd love to know what's going through his head!

Wasn't selling at £5900 so bump it up to £8900.

Actually, just have a look at the other items he's selling. I just don't think he understands to concept of money.

I think it's been for sale for at least 3 years. Photos don't seem to change so those rusty rear arches are probably not any better now.
Would be interesting to see what the answer would be if he was offered £1000 a couple of weeks before the MOT runs out.
As far as i can see classified listings are £20 for a month so he might have spend more than the cars value on advertising it.
