NZ00Z3 189 Report post Posted February 20, 2019 Another nice M Coupe on Trademe, this time right hand drive, but where in the world is it located? Waiting for the auction questions to be answered. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a.aspx?id=1957720037&tm=email&et=45&mt=2A1A6709-5791-44E1-AFDB-C46190AEDD43 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alisterh 26 Report post Posted February 20, 2019 It appears to be in UK according to this ad https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/sydney-city/cars-vans-utes/bmw-z3m-coupe/1210628992 Seems a little fishy "Sam" on Gumtree "Anthony" on Trademe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fred_ 166 Report post Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) It's not a scam. I know Sam and have exported cars to him in the past. The car is still based in the UK and available for export. Edited February 20, 2019 by leebske Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly they have lifted the advert straight off the other site? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leonf 162 Report post Posted February 21, 2019 I have a keen interest in purchasing a Z3 M Coupe. Have had for years.....sadly. I know a little about importing cars from the UK (see my owned vehicles). A purchase price of $50k nzd for a UK based car will result in a total, vinned and on the road in NZ, price of probably $20k nzd over the initial purchase price. It's a nice car, for sure. But it makes the $80k nz new s54 sold by Duttons in ChCh a few weeks ago look like a better deal. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While the Duttons S54 M Coupe was a special car at a special price, I still agree with you that the car on Trademe is over priced. $50,000 to 55,000 landed and fully N.Z complied is the going rate for it considering the mileage. Not $50,000 plus shipping and compliance. Having been a member of various UK Z3 forums for years, I've seen some horror photos of rust under Z3's with similar mileages as the M Coupe that would not get through the N.Z compliance system. It may be pristine, but it is an area to keep in mind and get photos of the under side during any negotiations. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even with GST at 15% on purchase and shipping costs and doing everything above board if you need another $20k on a $50k car I would suggest you are paying over the odds. Unless you get hit with massive bills at compliance time due to hidden problems that is. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
