[GZed]

A 1999 Prefacelift 2.8 Japanese import, so right hand drive and should be relatively free of corrosion

A year 2000 1.9. Cat D ( couldn’t see any damage on the video)

A lovely blue 2007 3.0 si Z4 Coupe.

Take a look at their website. They take online bids too…….

It would be very easy to write-off a 1.9 today. It would only require some very light damage.

My Range Rover was written-off in November. I put it back on the road for less than £300.

Love the Z4

It says”Category D Insurance Loss. Vehicle Damaged But Repairable - Insurer Decided Not To Repair”
Not sure exactly what Category D or N mean but the auction estimate for the car is £2.8 - £3.8k

Love the Z4

So do I. Please buy it to remove it from temptation!!! Having just bought Gookah’s fantastic 2.8 there’s no way I could afford/get away with it but I still can’t help looking…

A category D car is "one that has been written off by the insurer but the damage it has suffered may be relatively light". So, it could be a simple as a broken part that is now more expensive than the actual car (or insurance value), e.g. a bumper, bonnet, etc. By the time you add the part, plus re-spraying, that might be uneconomical for an insurer. I've had damage to a light assembly on my Mercedes that would be uneconomical to fix by an insurer if the car was 24 years old...

I don't see anything major looking at the photos and video, but who knows?

I would love the Japanese import, but the red interior (including steering wheel) is not my cup of tea.

Granted, taste is subjective, but…

I’d love to, but I’ve just seen my gas bill, so not happening unfortunately

I've been watching the bangers and cash series, even got the wife watching it .They have some really nice cars ,would love to go up there but it's a long way from the south coast

Cat D used to be for minor damage and is now called Cat N. N=non structural damage
CatC was more serious damage that could be repaired, now called Cat S. S= structural damage.
Cat B remains the same, very heavy damage where the car can’tgo back on the road but parts can be used.
Cat A is pure scrap, not even partscan be reused

I love that red leather interior

 

[NeRo]

I don't know if any of you follow Mat Armstrong on YouTube but seeing some of the cars he's repaired and got back onto the road is amazing

There's a few others too

 

[Lazzzydog]

Auto gearbox and body still in primer, otherwise OK.

Did anybody see what the Z4 coup made?

 

[Peter1450]

According to their site it was unsold, personally I think the the estimate was a little optimistic, selling for as little as £5500 on a well known auction site.

 

[t-tony]

Z4 Coupes will go for twice that and more.

Never seen a Z4 coupe that wasn't a wreck for as little as £5500!

Never seen a Z4 coupe that wasn't a wreck for as little as £5500!

Like anything they are about just never when you’re looking! one sold for £5400 last week with only 80k on it, certainly wasn’t a wreck, if you have the budget for over 11k you could purchase an M for not a great deal more , again if you have the funds to run one……
