E46 BMW 330 ZHP Buyers Corner -- Is it a good deal?

[ecrabb]

Backed off my M3 plans and putting the budget into less miles on a ZHP. Emailing back and forth with the owner of this fine specimen right now:

I think the price is pretty fair, but it's over dealer retail... I went after $500 just to defray my $1100 shipping bill to get the car from Louisiana to Utah. Pending PPI, and assuming he still has it, I think I'm going to grab it. It's not my favorite color combo, but it will no doubt serve us well for at least a few years until I can realize my M3 dreams.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Nice low Miles. Titanium Silver is a pretty exterior color. Grey is nice and cool during summer months then black and a much better choice then a tan interior.

I like it.

The price looks good, but if they can go down to $10,000 even better. If this is your perfect combo (silver grey, alcantara, auto) then I say go for it even at $10,300.

I have no such perfect combo, i love ZHP's and this is one of my favorite color combos though for sure. The only thing thats really bothering me is the lack of maintenance records.

I can currently get this for 8k... thoughts? It was just checked out by a reputable Euro shop there in Charleston. They flushed all fluids, replaced radiator hoses, and put 2 new tires on rear. They said car is very clean and maintained. I talked to shop directly and not dealership. Has cold weather package also.

I think it is a little bit on the high size for pricing for a Auto with that mileage. Plus no factory zhp wheels on it.

I tend to agree with Vas. But I'm sure the dealer has at least $800-1000 of profit built in. PPI is a must. Then negotiate based on findings and non-stock wheels.

The car seems to be in very good shape. I believe the wheels are OEM style 119 which comes in 17". You will save on tires on the long term (original OEM style 135 are 18").

Three months ago, I saw a similar one locally and the asking price was $9,000. So I think the price is ok for a dealer assuming you won't have to put extra money on svc and repairs right away.
