Would you reckon that would be a good investment for say tucking it away for 5+ years?

Post Fri Jan 20, 2012 11:54 pm

AWESOME!!!! Price is a bit eye watering though!

Weren't dealers really struggling to sell Z8s at one point?

Post Fri Jan 20, 2012 11:55 pm

That is a chunk of money

Post Fri Jan 20, 2012 11:56 pm

I doubt you would loose money on it if it wasn't used and stored properly but i doubt you would make much money.

£87k for a normal one, weren't they £80k new?

Yes thats what they were new.

I would have a normal one over an Alpina one any day of the week!

We get one in once a year that has only done 9k from new.

Well it looks like they won't be deppreciating enough for me to get one.....

Always seemed a bit mad to get rid of the M5 lump in favour of the 4.6 and fit an autobox, I guess it'd suit a lot of people who just cruise around though!

Hexagon have always been known to be 'optimistic' with their pricing.

Z8 is ubersexual - absolute classic/potential investment imo.

'Tis a thing of great beauty. Untill you do this to one!

The second one's ok in a kinda Frida Kahlo way... Alpina stripes would still be better though!

Not too keen on the wheels, needs a nice set of bottletops on it Barry.

+1.

They're a bit too offbeat to be an investment. You'd be better off buying two mint Sport Evos or a couple of CSL's tbh.

I saw a Z8 there for £120k some weeks back when i sent bss some photographs of a M3 GTS!!

You people really like this?

Looks like BMW hired the Prosche Boxster designers.

any excuse to post this!!

But at that price it will not make you much in five years, at the prices we found them in the Middle East five years ago we used to make money (now had two bought and sold) but now even here they realise the value of them.

plus with stock markets going south, expensive cars are one way to hold cash - look at what Wayne Carini does for a living - he buys rich yanks expensive cars...why?? because they hold value better then buying Apple shares and they can be converted back to cash in a few days.

These type of buys are the new stocks and shares for the next couple of years, but dont expect them to go up in value, just expect them to remain in line with cash inflation.

how did it manage to appreciate?

I am suprisied there seem to be quite a few Z8s out there with super low mileage why is this (compared with nearly every other M Car including M3 CSLs)?

Post Wed Mar 14, 2012 3:16 pm

We got one in at work today... Its mint!! Been imported from usa, the owner wants it coded to european spec

Has only 4000miles on it!!!! Yes only 4000!!!!

Post Wed Mar 14, 2012 4:04 pm

Super clean car with all the steering wheel, gear stick, carpet and doors of the interior wrapped in protective clear cling film type wrap

Post Wed Mar 14, 2012 6:00 pm

We get one in but with red leather which is part of a private collection, its done about 8k i think.

I MOT'd it last year.

Post Wed Mar 14, 2012 9:23 pm
