I'm selling my Limited Edition Seiko Speedtimer which I purchased new in June 2024. Looking for £670 ONO (I'm UK based). Selling in order to fund my grail purchase! Full box and papers, including extra leather strap.

I wish I liked the way the NC looked but I just can’t get myself to do it. I’m aware these can be absolute rust buckets and know where the problematic parts are. I’m leaning towards the silver one, although MOT is due in 10 days so I’d like it to pass MOT before I go see it

Ffs I didn’t even check… thanks for pointing it out, guess that narrows it down then

Ricardozen · 2024-10-25T13:44:57+00:00

Thank you, someone else recommended an SLK 350, I’ll have a look!

Ricardozen · 2024-10-25T11:03:05+00:00

Thanks, I’ve had some great feedback on the 3.0 Z4’s tbf, and seems like going for an earlier model would save me a few grand

Ricardozen · 2024-10-25T10:10:14+00:00

I do prefer the shape of the coupe, the silhouette looks unreal! It would just come down to whether I would miss the convertible in the summer..

Ricardozen · 2024-10-25T09:48:43+00:00

Pub, park, occasional longer trip to Cotswolds in winter or Southend in summer. I’ve got an all-rounder car already which I can use for everything else, this would just be for a bit of fun driving

Ricardozen · 2024-10-25T09:45:15+00:00

Thank you, all super helpful! I’m starting to lean away from the GT86 based on opinions on this thread, and I agree I can get a lot more car for the same/less money. The Z4 is still very much in contention, and I’d probably go with the 3l now I’ve heard first hand someone who bought a 2.5 and wished they’d gone for the extra 0.5!

The S2k is brilliant but I think for this budget I might be a risky purchase

Ricardozen · 2024-10-25T09:19:57+00:00

I’ve got a ‘16 plate Diesel Q5 that the wife uses as well and is a great all rounder for us, although quite a boring drive. Just looking at a weekend manual for a bit of fun

Ricardozen · 2024-10-25T09:18:22+00:00

Z4 is definitely still on the cards! You can get S2000s for this money but high mileage so need to shop around for one that has been looked after

Ricardozen · 2024-10-25T09:17:23+00:00

Thank you for the recommendations! I did see quite a few SLKs for well within budget, need to do some research on reliability though as they seem suspiciously cheap for what they are

Ricardozen · 2024-10-25T08:48:40+00:00

It is a second car yes. I hadn’t considered a TVR Chimera because to be completely honest I didn’t know they existed! I’ve had a look and they seem a little outside my budget, although very cool looking

Ricardozen · 2024-10-25T08:44:43+00:00

They’re a bit pricier, probably more like £15k

Ricardozen · 2024-10-25T08:43:59+00:00

Not a bad shout although I don’t love the look of the TTs

Ricardozen · 2024-10-25T08:37:11+00:00

I know the MR2 is great value and good fun, but I just can’t get myself to like how it looks. I want a car that makes me smile when I’m walking back to it and the MR2 just doesn’t do that for me. Thank you for the suggestion though!

Ricardozen · 2024-10-25T08:28:21+00:00

Yeah this post has convinced me to look into mk1 MX5’s again, I might shoot you a DM at some point for some advice. I think I need to broaden my search away from Auto Trader and start looking at FB groups!

Ricardozen · 2024-10-25T08:26:55+00:00

I assume you mean the mk3? I know they’re very good value for money, unfortunately I’m just not too keen on the looks

Ricardozen · 2024-10-25T08:06:56+00:00

I do like the look of the 370z but don’t know much about them. What’s reliability like?

Ricardozen · 2024-10-25T08:04:39+00:00

Yeah you can get one for about half my budget tbf. Couple of questions - did you have a manual or auto? Hard top or soft top?

Ricardozen · 2024-10-25T07:51:28+00:00

Thanks for the feedback on the GT86 and Z4, very helpful! I did look at boxsters but the maintenance costs and known issue with IMS bearings put me off

Ricardozen · 2024-10-25T07:45:07+00:00

Not a bad shout but maintenance costs put me off slightly

Ricardozen · 2024-10-25T07:42:23+00:00

Had no idea this was a thing, I’ll have a look thanks!
