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

[ELCID86]

Thanks, thats what I was thinking too. I see you're in VA...any shop recommendations for a PPI in the Chantilly/Manassas/Gainesville area?

I believe RRT is convenient and does a good job. You may want to ask Bruce (BCS_ZHP) as this isn't my neck of the woods. Or try Bimmershops.com.

There is also my wifes zhp for sale lol.

True dat. Vas is in Harrisonburg.

None of the good shops in this area are "convenient" unless you live close to them. Bruce's go to indy, Green Motorsport is a 45-50 minute drive (without traffic, but this is NoVA and that's never the case) but definitely sounds like a great shop. RRT is out Old Ox Road, 35-45 minutes away from Manassas without traffic, with traffic...double it.

But really, for a PPI I'd search on Bimmershops for one that is convenient to where the car is and have them do it. As long as they seem reputable, a PPI is a PPI.

And big +1 to Vas' ZHP! Might have more miles, but definitely would trust purchasing a car from him rather than a used car dealer. Plus, a higher mileage ZHP with the big ticket items completed and still in great condition interior/exterior wise is a better buy.

from everything I've heard regarding talk about Vas and seeing some of his cars on the forum here............id have to agree. and generally yes, if the big ticket items are done and its slightly higher mileage, thats worth the buy because you're set for another 30-40k

Thanks guys for the kind words.

Bad deal:

This car (stated VIN: WBAEV53463KM04106) recently had a PPI performed at Reggie's Motorworks on the northside of Indianapolis. Pictures of the rust on the passenger side quarter panel can be seen on their Facebook page. Needless to say, stay away. I didn't know where else to post this.

I kniw its already a thread on here. I wasnt planning on even buying a ZHP, but this seems like to good of a deal to pass up. Im going to look at the car this week, but just wanted some input first. I know that the steering wheel beeds to be replaced, but the carfax says the car is very clean and in great condition. It is priced very well also (im sure I can get the dealer a little on the steering wheel). Thanks!

I think the feedback on the other thread is accurate. Could be a nice pick-up if it checks out. Get those ///M bades off of it! :-)

Alright, getting close to being ready to pull the trigger when I find the right car and this one is a contender. Listed at $15999 on the website and $15499 on Craigslist. I know for a fact they will come down to $15k and that's without any real negotiation yet. Prices seem to be all over the place on these cars but what do you guys think of this one at $15k?

Very desired combo: vert, 6mt, alcantara, 66k miles. Last year I test drove one vert with 120k miles. 2006. Auto, IR, black leather. Nice car. The asking price was $12,000. So I believe the price you mentioned sounds reasonable.
