Looking to change the z3 to something a bit more modem such as a z4.

Been looking around and test drove a potential car at an independent garage.

They have offered £3k for my 3.0 sport on 02 plate with 84k miles. I thought this was fair price, but have just typed the details into 'What Car's valuation tool and says it should be closer to £4200 for trade in.

It has a medium sized dent in the passenger door which is why I would rather go down the trade in route, to save the hassle of getting fixed and then sold privately.

Should I be pushing for more?

What Car's prices are not really as up to date as they should be - try these two

I have seen a trader listing a similar sounding car to yours (without the bump!) for just under £5k. £3k with the bump is not a million miles away as a trade in. A 3.0 Z3 is probably not the easiest car to sell on.

Always push for more but it is all about the cost to change. If the Z4 you are looking at is cheap then the price is OK.
