Just curious at the moment how much the mileage would affect the sale value of a car that is normally found with lower miles eg your mid/low range sports cars such as 350z/z4/boxster

For example how much would you expect to be paying for a 120k mile 3.0 BMW Z4? (FBMWSH, xenons, full aero kit, full heated leather, cruise, 18" BBS's, m sport suspension etc)

Its time for an upgrade but i dont have a clue what to put it up for as i cant find many cars with the same mileage. Guessing ive shaved most of the value off it using it everyday smile

Sorry if ive put this in the wrong section...

All I've done is just go onto Autotrader and searched for Z4s with over 100K!

My gut reaction would be between £6 and 7k.

Thanks for the response..more than i was expecting really. Just took a look myself, for some reason i wrote off using autotrader after they changed the site! might stick it up for 5k that way it should move quickly i assume.

My mate bought a pristine Z4 3.0 in June for around 5.5k & it only had 50k miles on it, was a 54 plate a think.

Had a good deal there i'd say! I would keep it as ive lost so much money on it now but cant house or get insured on two cars.

The thing is I don't think he particulary did. When he was looking (in the height of summer) there were literally tons for sale, as I had my Z4M I was chosen to thin the ranks a bit but even then we managed to find quite a few that we're to his chosen spec & in a good condition that needed nothing doing.

What age is yours?

I hope he does, but from experience you can get much newer with much fewer miles for around that, I'd be putting it up for 4250 with room to haggle.

Op, I'm not trying to knock your car-honest! It's just this rediculous thing we have in this country with regards to high mileage.

Best of luck proving me wrong though thumbup

Yeh i agree and I cant be bothered with hassle from messers, so will reduce it accordingly. Its a 5k car all day long if not more but people get put off by mileage which is understandable! Problem is you can buy a 50k mile car thats been treated like st or a 120k car that has been looked after!

Best car ive owned. Time for an upgrade now after a good few years of ownership. Although insuring anything better should be a laugh..
