She's currently snoozing in my garage after a grueling drive back.

Dealer: Joe Tuozzoli Auto Sales
Location: Bridgeport, CT
Price: $18,000
Miles: 46,286
Sparkling Graphite/Brown Montana
Performance Package
Premium Package
Cold Weather Package

Loved this small little dealer, and he had some sweet cars. A+ BBB rating didn't hurt neither plus he's been there since 1977..another good sign.

Dealer put on a new shift boot, pulled out a small shopping cart ding, and had the dealer change the oil and brake fluid. Car also has new Michelin Pilot Sports..

But no worries my trusty daily driver pathfinder was there watching over her like an older brother.

:) The dealer posted it last Friday and I was sitting in front of his place 130 miles away from my house 30 minutes before he opened the next day on Saturday morning. I have found that when you find what you want you must be quick as hell or their gone. This car was my 4th choice as I was planning on purchasing the mystic blue 330 non ZHP. I found 2 of them, but before I could act they got sold so by dumb luck this car popped up and I was like I ain't missing this one. I think it turned out good, I got the best car with the interior colors for the price I wanted. Couldn't be happier!

You did a great job on the price. I got hammered for $4k more for a very similar car with similar mileage. Had the added benefit of the CPO, but I still got violated...

Thanks, yea when you search around the country and see the same car with 30k more miles for the same price or higher, I think I did well. I like the added benefit of the CPO, but I guess I'll take my chances. Driving home down thru CT, NY and NJ there wasn't a rattle or any other noise. The steering was balls ass tight with zero steering vibration. I was running between 65 and 90mph and the car wasn't even breakin a sweat...and the pull away in 6th gear was like butter. So the car certainly seems like it was taken care of.

Marcus I am.. because I had a 330 and sold it, and kicked myself for it for several yrs. So now I got a better 330 for almost 1/2 the price of the previous one. It's like a new love affair. ha It's funny I used to go on the bmwusa site and build a new car with the ZHP option just to see the "perfect car" prior to buying my 2001. And of course after building it with everything the price was like $52k and the site would say "hey so do you want to schedule a test drive?" and of course I would mumble no to myself and turn the computer off. The wife really thought I was mental back then. She would ask me "why are you building a car your never going to get"? And of course she didn't get it..

Oh man, that is gorgeous! I love the color combo, probably my second favorite. Black with natural brown being the first.

Question, was this a common interior color on the ZHP? I don't see a lot of them.

Thanks isn't it tho? Don't know if it all that common as the leather on the ZHP was an additional upgrade on top of the Performance Package. So your talking about big $$ to deliver the car new off the lot. When you search around the country I don't see to many nat brown leather interiors.

On a side note there is a nice black on black ZHP up at Riverhead Toyota on Long Island for $21k. That one was on my radar also until this beauty came along of course.

danewilson77

03-13-2011, 10:21 AM

According to the registry...there are no Montana Brown interiors registered....out of 491 registered. I would say it's pretty uncommon/rare.......but it's "not special"

Marcus-SanDiego

03-13-2011, 10:22 AM

Speaking of registry, I went to the registry to register the car and it's already there? It states "Natural brown leather".

59k isn't to bad. Of course I already have a daily driver and I'm planning on only driving my bimmer 5k a year at best. It's not my everyday car. It's my guilty pleasure

I agree 59K isn't horrible, but not at $21k IMO. I could get an M3 at that price and mileage.

I am really shooting for below 50k miles or even 40k. Patience Patience Patience. I found a Blk on Blk ZHP sedan with 32k miles in Dillsburg for $16.5k but didnt pull the trigger fast enough. I still have nightmares about it :(

LOL..yea man I check cars.com and autotrader 2 and 3 times a day. Funny there is a gorgeous blue ZHP sedan in Seattle with 14k on it...a few days ago I was even thinking now how do I get that car back here to PA?? Car transport service bingo!

In person it looks even better. The stark contrast between the black cube and black carpet then the brown leather. That actually sold me more then the gray exterior.
