I've been going back and forth on selling my zhp. It's an Imola red sedan 6 speed with 73k miles. But it may be out of your budget

dVeLoPe: I'll keep an eye out for you for sure. And thanks, good luck to you also.

And mbeckel, your ZHP is very nice, how much would you sell for?

Rainy day bump


Found a great ZHP for $9000 in my area. Talked to the guy a little bit and asked to meet up and still haven't gotten a reponse. But just found a 330i (non zhp). Only 5500, with 154,000mi. Looks in great condition, blue with black m3 rims.

[TigerTater]

But do you want to settle for just a plain 330i ?

I would wait for a ZHP. You won't regret it :)

I hate to agree, but they're right. If you have your heart set on a zhp, I'd keep searching

I shall wait. But I will still probably go check out the 330i

It seems as if every nice zhp I find is always out of state :P lol

[FL116]

Just found this on Craigslist. What do you guys think? http://orlando.craigslist.org/cto/4415505492.html

[Vas]

I would not even consider that.

[FL116]

Why is that?

[HockeyGoon]

Why is that?

Plasti-dip matte white and that it has a rebuild title.

[Vas]

This is my take on it. Car had a front end accident and the airbags exploded. It received a salvage title then fixed. The m3 front bumper went on the car and instead of painting the car, somebody decided that it would be a good idea to plastidip the whole car.

[QC_ZHP]

For starters, the airbags have gone off. He also plasti dipped the whole car and took off the Mtech II bumper (probably replaced in the wreck). Plus, look at that interior, ouch.

Find one that has been taken care of. Nothing is more expensive than a cheap BMW.

[FL116]

You have a good point. I never thought about that. I will still probably go check it out. Just to see it. Maybe I'll convince the guy to peel the plastidip off for me lol

If you are to go over your range, that's the one to do it on

[FL116]

For real. Sadly the price range is firm. I will just have to be patient. I need to get rid of my car to free up some cash! My car will not be in good shape in a year

[QC_ZHP]

Once you settle, the one you want will pop up in less than a month. Stay patient and maybe consider expanding your radius. Nothing beats a roadtrip home in a new car anyway.

[Vas]

Out of your mile requirement but its in Florida.

Sunday bump. Still looking

[FL116]

bump for another rainy day. Getting impatient with the car lol but gotta stay focused

[FL116]

Got a potential buy right now. 04 OB ZHP sedan $9000. Wish me luck.
And bumpp... Just in case the deal doesn't go through, thanks for everyone's help. Keep looking for me though lol

Let me know what you guys think of this!!! If I were to get this, I would try to knock them down on the price

Dang... he posted that zhp right after I logged out of e46fanatics earlier. Hopefully that guy wont buy it lol but thanks for the look guys, but back to it.lol

OPINIONS?

[Vas]

Opinion is get in contact with the seller of the Imola and get the ball rolling lol.

[FL116]

I already emailed him lol

[QC_ZHP]

The imola is probably the better buy, but the black one is only $8k. Both very decent prices

[FL116]

For sure. And Im gonna go look at the black one (its only 10 min from where I live), and im gunna knock that price down too

[TigerTater]

Im not sure how much you can "knock" that price down...its an 04' with < 100k on it...decent condition from the looks...especially if your trying to make it happen before someone else shows up and steals it under your nose...

I was talking about the black one: http://www.jeisyautosales.com/2003_BMW_3%20Series_ORLANDO_FL_225998493.veh

Its an 03 with 142xxx miles

[QC_ZHP]

Even on that one, there's probably not much wiggle room. I'm all for knocking the price down, but someone's going to scoop that at $8k if you don't.

True, but people who want a ZHP are searching for a ZHP. They know what they want.

[FL116]

Just looked at the car... and it was rough. There were scratches and dents all over the car. Bumper was damaged a bit, badges were either damaged or missing, and wheels were in rough shape as well. The only good thing was the interior. Since it had all of these flaws and needed some small maintenance I asked him to lower the price. He said it was more than a fair deal already.

Pass on that one

[FL116]

Yeah definitely not gunna buy it. I actually got there and asked how much and he said $8500. I said the ad said $8000. It was like he was trying to bargain. Im gunna pass. Plus, a guy im talking to has a 03 OB zhp for 9000 but just told me he would go to $8000.

[QC_ZHP]

OB is the way to go.

[FL116]

Oh yes and it's very nice. Only maintenance needed on it is the temp sensor

[BigRussia]

Hello guys, FL116 I feel your pain man Ive been looking for a nice well maintained ZHP in south florida for some time now too. I was about to make a WTB thread when I first joined here but saw this thread and decided not to step on your toes especially since I'm a rookie here lol. The red sedan I'm a little skeptical about since he didnt mentioned anything specific about maintenance and with the car right at the 100k miles mark cooling system overhaul is a must. Also the car has a number of broken parts (window regulator and burnt out xenons so no driving at night till its fixed) and doesn't have the original ZHP silver cube trim on the dash...So even though Vas mentioned it should sell quick with its price I only think the price is just fair and assuming its up to date with its maintenance. Good luck with that 03 OB FL116, hope it works out for you!

Nah man you're not stepping on any toes. Go ahead and start a thread! I just joined not to long ago so I'm still a rookie also lol did you go look at the red sedan? You said you were ten minutes from it right? And good luck on your search also, it's a rough time in the zhp world hahah but we will get there soon

Hey man thanks, hopefully we'll both be there soon! And at least we're in different regions of Florida lol, you're in Orlando right? Yeah I live really close to the Imola Red sedan. I've contacted the seller and asked for maintenance records and more pics but unfortunately he said the car is still on the original cooling system which has me a little iffy and hasn't provided any other maintenance details. I'm still going to go see it this weekend and maybe get a PPI done once I get a idea of how much it'll cost me. If things don't work out with the red sedan then Ill probably make my WTB thread. Take it easy man and good luck!

Don't worry about the cooling system to much.

If you are doing the work yourself the parts are not terribly expensive and it is not hard job at all either.

lol cash isnt the issue finding a non piece of junk zhp is lol

This has truth to it!! Haha the black sedan I just looked at actually had ripped leather seats covered with lack duct tape... Lol that along with the dents and scratches and bad condition of the car, they still wanted $8k.. I wouldn't even buy that for $4k. Good luck y'all

[FL116]

Bump! This is starting to get discouraging..

[FL116]

ZHP search is rough.. Looking at this -->http://orlando.craigslist.org/cto/4451082284.html

[TigerTater]

Looks good. Enthusiast owned but also driven...may be some hard miles on the car. But then again 152 k isn't terrible for a 17 yo car. If it's close May be worth a drive to see. At least you won't wonder about it. I would look around online for some model specific things to look at if you do...

There seems to be plenty of good deals out there on ZHPs, just none near me... Sadly. But I have a question, how many of you have bought a car out of state? Is it a smart idea? And how does the process work? Would I tell the seller I want a shop there to look at it (PPI) at my expense and then if all checks out, travel there to pick it up or just have it shipped to me? Someone that has done any of this please give some advice and if it's a good idea or or. Appreciate it y'all

[ELCID86]

I've bought two. See the thread here about buying.

I live in Las Vegas and bought my ZHP in Temecula Calif. I was lucky my father in law lives down there and was a Sales Manager at every dealership in Temecula. I had him go look at it and test drive it. He then took it to a local BMW dealer for the PPI, $150. Then he was nice enough to drive it up to Vegas for me.

Oh and btw, the BMW dealership quoted me $1800 for repairs that cost me $200 to do myself.

[FL116]

Question, I dont know if anyone would know or have an opinion but how does a ZHP compare to a 06-09 330 or 335i manual?

[Barefoot-ZHP]

I have an 08 335i steptronic and kick myself in the ass everyday for trading my 06 ZHP coupe in on it. I drove a MT 335i and was not impressed at all, then I drove the Steptronic car and was seduced by the TT power. I knew within a couple of weeks of trading that I had made a mistake.
The ZHP market has stayed firm, I had my car almost 3 years and got full purchase price for trade in, which also led me to trade. The market on the 335i is dropping like a lead ballon. I have fixed more stuff on the 45k mile 335i than I ever did on my 06 ZHP which had 58k on it when I traded it.
I'm trying to get back to a ZHP coupe but still dealing with the fall of the 335i market, hopefully within the next year I will be out from under this POS…
Opinion being yes, the 335i is a lot faster than the ZHP but not near as fun to drive and no where close in reliability…Just my 2 cents

[FL116]

My friend just let me drive his 2007 335i and man it felt awesome. Car felt so well put together, and the power was very nice compared to my current car, which is also the reason I want a BMW, there just such well put together cars. I cant wait to find my zhp!

[FL116]

Bumpppp

[viper3812]

I live in Orlando and will be putting my zhp up for sale next week. Unsure how much i will be asking for it though at the present moment. I work on BMWs and driven all of them. The 335i is faster but the zhp is an all around fun and more reliable car.

I'd take a forced induction zhp over a 335i
