    Hi everybody, my name is Josh, I am from Southeast Missouri, and I am new to the site. I have been checking out this site for a month or two while I have been waiting to graduate college and finally buy a ZHP. Anyway I figured what better place to start and hopefully find the right one than here. I was hoping that you all could take a look at the ZHPs I found on autotrader.com

    http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...ype=b&make=BMW

    The big things I’m looking for in a ZHP are here like the 6spd and the color. I am a big fan of the black, white, and grey/silver cars so this one looks very nice. I talked to the seller today and he was very nice and extremely quick to respond, and from what he said he knows a thing or two about BMWs.
    I also found this car but it might be sold, I am not sure.

    Josh, that first one (the 2005 ZHP coupe in black) is overpriced. You should not pay $16,295 for a ZHP with more than 100,000 miles on it. It's better priced in the $12K-$14K range. That seller will soon learn that the price is too high when no one buys it.

    The second listing is no longer available.

    The third listing should be priced at around $14K. It has 82,000 miles.

    Your post here was perfect. You did everything right.

    Welcome to the site.

    Thanks very much guys, I am grateful for the help and comments. Having only had older cars in the past and no luxury cars, it's hard for me to know what is a good price. Also do people tend to ask a bit higher for the cars than they think they can get for bargaining room and how much is that usually? Anyway here are two new finds, the first one looks like it needs a good cleaning, (mostly in the engine bay, I don’t know if this is a sign of poor care?) and they both have the Alcantra cloth. For some reason I prefer the leather but it all works for me. If anybody has an argument for or against one interior over the other I would be happy to listen. Thanks again everybody.

    Josh, I believe that MOST people overprice the car. They expect some haggling and they price appropriately.

    The first car you listed does not have the stock wheels. Not sure how important it is for you to have the style 135M wheels, but I would not own my car without them. I love the style 135 wheel that come with my car.

    Also, the dealer is listing that car at nearly $15,000 for a car that has more than 100,000 miles. Again, I would not personally pay that much for a car with that many miles. That's me, though. You'll need to figure out if you would.

    The engine bay is filthy. It will likely clean right up. However, I do use the cleanliness of a car as a factor in my buying decision. The dirty engine bay could mean that the previous owner just wasn't as anal as me. It may also be a sign that other things were neglected, too. It really just means that I will be taking a closer look at the car. Consider: would you sell your house without cutting your lawn? Would you have huge weeds in the front yard? If you aren't willing to do that, what else have you allowed to get out of hand?

    So that's what a dirty engine bay means to me.

    That second car in Cincinnati is better priced. It has 71,000 miles and it's listed at $15,000. It's a 2003, so I tend to discount those a little bit (given the age). I also tend to discount when the car is located in a more remote location (in the United States). I'd try to work the price down a bit.

    Any thoughts on this one?
    http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=842358

    Not the sedan I wanted, but seems like a good deal on a low mileage tastefully modded 1 owner zhp. Any Cali Mafioso know if the ess ts2 will pass smog?

    The price is right. Sounds like the guy just wants to liquidate the car. He has a 2007 Cayman now. He tried selling it for $16K earlier this year. No bites. Dropping it down to $14,500 now.

    Not sure if the ESS TS2 presents smog cert issues. You'll need to do some homework on that end.

    According to ESS on E46F.c it's not carb exempt. They say it will pass sniffer but could fail visual. Owner posts I've found seem promising. One failed visual and passed after covering the SC w/ another engine cover section. The other passed on first try w/o trying to hide anything.

    Sounds kinda risky. can't decide if it's worth the hassle.

    There is always someone out there who will pass you on visual. You just have to find that person (assuming you do not pass).

    Let us know if you buy the car!
