BMW Z8's

[DrTre]

Will there be a time when their price won't drop?! They seem to be heading in one direction only.

What's my point? I haven't got one. I'm just venting spleen and demanding that a law be put into effect right now which stipulates I'm given one.

Stunning cars. One in the showroom at Rybrook in Worcester. Alas not for sale

[Codswallop]

Should've bought one at 2 years old when they were selling for £50k or so. Bah

[DrTre]

I just think they're one of the prettiest cars ever made, inside and out. Absolutely stunning, like you say.

(Oh, and apologies for the stray apostrophe in the title...if it is stray... I can't work it out. If it's not meant to be there then I did it on purpose to wind people up, if it is correct, well that's cool and I knew it all along.)

'zactly. The prices seem to be on the up and up (I could be wrong on that).

Isn't the price based more on rarity though rather than it actually being an excellent car, for similar money you can get an alfa 8c spider -saw one last week and it looked and sounded amazing!

And I should have bought that Z1/NSX/RS and SZ

always just a few k short of the cars that go up.

Hexagon appear to have bought a number of them and are slowly releasing them back in to the wild at nicely inflated prices. There's a silver one local to me that the guy uses regularly. Great looking car.

It might well be, but tbh it's a little bit moot. I think I've a penchant for flawed cars, I'd sooner have a Maserati Ghibli/Cup over any BMW M3/5 any day.

I'm no driving God and I'd not get near the limits/abilities of any of these vehicles, and as I get older I'm more and more less inclined to try. A car's desirability can transcend its dynamic abilities.

ETA Actually benzito, sorry you've a very valid point that I've glossed over, they're rising in spite of being "not amazing" which is kinda curious as I'd still have expected them to stabilise.

Since the price of the Z8 appears to be increasing (i.e. not dropping), surely that time is right now?

Ah, you see you fell into my trap. Hook, line and sinker.
