eBay A couple of interesting Z3Ms for sale on ebay

[mrscalex]

Boston Green (relatively unusual in itself) but have a look at that interior (Kyalami/Black - Q6KY). The description says only one produced in that combo.

And a white one. Not sure I've see one in that colour for sale before.

Both rare examples.

Do they actually sell for this kind of money?

I only ask as you are close to the budget of a gen 2 Cayman or Boxster with lower miles.

Well I would have said they are being marketed at there or thereabouts the same money as other Z3Ms recently. Mileage is perhaps a little high for the price but the colours arguably make up for that.

Whether or not they sell at that price is a different matter. There always seems to be a disproportionate amount of Z3Ms up for sale. 14 currently on ebay where as search for 3.0s and there's just 4. Mind you even the 3.0s seem to be sticking around the last couple of months.

Love Boston green, the wheels kill the white one for me tho.

I normally don't like black wheels. But I guess if there was a colour I was going to get used to them on it would be white.

I'm sure I saw a intro thread about the green one by the owner who is based in Germany.

@pgunter - is this that white ///M resurfacing again?

 

[pgunter]

@GazHyde Yep thats the one again....

 

[GazHyde]

So, the basic gist of Paul confirming it's "that" one. Avoid the white one with a barge pole. You've been warned

 

[Lazzzydog]

What's the story on the white one.

You just had to ask didn't you? Actually I wanted to know too but had to pretend I already knew to look cool

 

[Althulas]

So spill the beans someone

I thought the same Dino.

 

[Grumps]

Argghhh think I've got it! Yep stay well clear Lol!!

 

[Nodzed]

Boston Green with Kyalami interior, not a combination that works for me rare I would say though?

 

[GazHyde]

What's the story on the white one.

It's had a lot of issues (assuming they've bothered to actually fix them), think the main ones were electrical faults. It's been kicking around unsold for a good few years now. Same story every time that it's been owned for the last 8 years without issues etc. Been on sale on at least one garage forecourt in those 8 years of single ownership (and not on behalf of the owner). I personally don't know the full tale, but it was looked at by a few and was taken straight off the list of potential purchases...

Also when we first spotted it for sale it was only up for 8k been for sale for years changing hands. Rough round the edges.

Was put into Brooklands auction last year and did not sell.

It had a lot of things that just did not seem right. I went to Blackpool to see this one. Was a wasted journey.

All I will say is a fool and his money ....

I have some credit on mycarcheck so will have a look at the history out of interest. When their dodgy login system lets me in. Good, cheap service otherwise.

It's only down the road for me. So I might go take a look just for a bit of sport.
