How Much Should I Pay: 2003 BMW Z4
Question From Ryan: Looking at 2.5i vs 3.0i pricing for a 2003 BMW Z4. Assume 50K miles for both.
Queen of the Road: Hi Ryan. Welcome to AutoBragBlog!
For a 2003 BMW Z4 Roadster 2.5i with 50,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $13,800 (being in above average condition) to $12,400 (being in average condition) and $11,000 (being in below average condition). A fair range for a dealership sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $12,400 to $15,400. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.
For a 2003 BMW Z4 Roadster 3.0i with 50,000miles, wholesale prices range from $15,100 (being in above average condition) to $13,700 (being in average condition) and $12,200 (being in below average condition). A fair range for a dealership sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $13,700 to $16,800. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.
Check the carfax and do plenty of research on the history of the vehicle. Ask for their maintenance records. You can even bring a mechanic for a brief inspection. Here’s a good article to read before continuing: Car Buying Tips From An Insider. Let me know if you have any further car questions.
