How many zoners have actually sold their cars to other zoner

[si911t]

Just curiosity - How many members have sold their cars through the zones sales section to other members?

You see loads of cars for sales, but do they actually sell on here or are we all still looking on piston heads and ebay for them ?

[skipunda]

That's a very good question!

[Simon13]

sold my 318iS on here in 2004! bought a hell of alot of cars through the zone. Sold my Alpina 2.5 converted 320 touring to a zoner also.

[Theo]

Off the top of my head I've bought 7 cars from other zoners.

Never attempted to sell one, that may be about to change though.

[magpie]

Most were just cheap turds, one was my M3 which I bought after a zoner responded to my advert stating I wanted a white 1989 M3 - he had exactly that and we struck a deal.

[Jhonno]

Sold a couple of cars I think. Took 1 as part ex from here.

[bss325i]

Bought an S50 converted touring from Old_Skool on here, reshelled it into a 2dr and then sold it to billgatese30 on here.

Sold a 325i convertible with Alpina sport pack to a zoner, cant remember their name

Sold a 320i touring to a zoner, cant remember their name

[charlE30]

I've had one 2dr 325ise and two 325i tourers brought from zoners, the 2dr's gone but both tourer's are still going strong

Haven't sold any through, most on here are to tight to pay the going rate

[blackE30indy]

sold my dolphin grey 325,to a zoner,ariel his name his,

[pandaa]

i got mine off a zoner and the previous owner who is my mate got it off a zoner to

[polsta]

i bought my is via piston heads ad, but the owner was a zoner and hes checked back once or twice on my threads and commented how nice the cars looking, which was a nice touch

and bought my other is breaker from a for sale add on here

[si911t]

So people are clearly buying off here. Must be a very hard sell though to a zoner?
I mean they know everything !! so no Arthur Daly style selling tactics are going to work.

[schnaarf]

Bought a 325 laser blue shell off here, but thats all. Other 2 from ebay adverts.

i remember when i was looking around for my 1st e30 on here, someone saying the only things that tend to sell on here are turds/cheap e30s of course the odd exemption but folowing cars for sale on here in the last 18 months suggests thats still the case with most2k+ cars hanging around and having a lot of bumps ?

[Speedtouch]

I sold my 1988 325iSE to robbieroo on here, after advertising a 1987 320iSE, and have regretted it ever since!



He hasn't posted anything on here since September 2007.

[Kos]

what do you classify as a zoner ?

is some one with a handful of posts in years who's selling/buying a zoner ?

i've bought 2 cars through this forums classifieds and sold 2 through the classifieds

[daimlerman]

I have sold one E30 via the zone,and bought both of the current one's from zoner's.

(most of my ex-cars have been sold via the wieghbridge!)

[Felix79]

Got my 325i cab and my Alpina on here , sold the cab to a zoner , Alpina went on eBay.

[Sanchez]

Only sold 1 E30!!!!! Crashed or scrapped the other 6

[e30topless]

I have bought and sold lots through the zone for sale section probably 20 or something ?

most cars I come across change hands through word of mouth and never need to be advertised,

I understand what your asking here.

I dont think a 'zoner' has to necessarily have to have a load of posts.

I could probably get 1000 posts added by close of play today by just sticking a smiley face or a thumbs up in everyones thread.

A zoner to me, is someone who firstly Has an e30 or has a history of e30 ownership.

Visits the site regularly, and enjoys its content.
(Doesnt mean they have to contribute and post on every single thread)

Believes that an e30 is the best looking bm ever made ( and that includes the M1 and the silly batmobile looking one and all others) and that the e36 is the worst!

And one day, all 'true' zoners should want to own an e30 m3 at some point in their lives.

That is for me what a zoner is

[d6dph]

I'm not a "true zoner" as I have no desire to ever buy an M3.

Me neither!

Enjoy looking at one at a meet,though.

[Morat]

I'd love one! Sadly, I failed to buy one before they dissapeared out of my realistic price range.

[mick_318is]

Through the Zone I have

Bought 2
Sold 2

Different 2 though !!

[gaszman]

i sold my touring to simon 13 still miss it

[E30BeemerLad]

Sold my old 325 to Dazleeds

[fender182]

Depends on what pops up at the time your looking for the right price. First iS I bought there were only sheds on here so went to pistonheads and found a low milage one with no rust for a good price, second iS was off here.

[MurphyE30]

bought 3 e30's through the zone, 1st was a good few years back, still have 2 currently

[zaust]

I can say there is a few cars sold by me to people that have either been on the zone for a while ar have become zoners scince buying there motors.

I too like Dave ↑ am not a true zoner as my main intrest in cars lies not with the e30. But hey ho.

[Bristol_Jer]

I bought mine from the for-sale section on here

[Dezzy]

I bought a wrongdoor rolling shell from a Zoner. I made a few good friend that day, north of the border. The same friends who have helped me out more times than i can remember since.

I also bought the chromie from a clueless zoner. Cut springs, tramp driftt stickers, cherry bomb exhaust, nasty wheels and loads more. I saw through that though.

£600 for a rust free chromie ftw
