Yes, may be of interest to a friend of mine who is looking for a S5. I've emailed them and we let you know if they are interested so you can swap numbers.

bump...not of any interest? For all you Z lovers, this is an amazing drive and a lot of fun.

January 9, 2018

Unfortunately the time has come to sell my beloved S5 Coupe. In short there is only two reason for my sale...

1) I have a baby on the way and the S5 will be overtime become too tricky and irritating to get a baby in and out of
2) I can't justify the need for two cars since I don't need the car for commuting

The car has been in my ownership since July 2015 and I have loved every moment of owning this car. For those who are looking to purchase a S5, the V8 is a amazing and words don't do it justice. I have owned the car from approx. 39,900 miles and have driven 19,000 miles in the last 2.5 years. The car was a weekend drive for 12 months and then used for my daily commute of 20 miles/day for the remaining 18 months.

The car is mechanically faultless and has been well looked after over the years. The car has been fully maintained and looked after, with a full Audi service history. I have the service book, stamps and invoices. The car is due a minor service this month (Jan 2018) and is booked in with Audi for this - I feel it's fair to have this done so the buyer doesn't had an added cost as soon as they buy the car.

The car has a valid MOT until the 11th May 2018, but if I get my asking price or close enough to it then I'll be happy to get a fresh 12 month MOT AND cover the cost of repair for anything that fails.

This is the manual version of the car and in my opinion the right transmission for this car.

Exterior:
The car is in overall great condition. It's been well looked after prior to my purchase, and I've continued to look after it throughout my ownership. There are a few minute marks as can be expected with a car this age but since it's not exactly seen many motorway miles it does not have stone chips or dents.

The windscreen is treated with Rainex and the car is washed with with care using a Meguiars lambswool mitt (separate mitt for the tyres), Meguiars Gold shampoo, 2 bucket method, microfibre cloths for drying, dodo juice wax.

Hi Mucky,

Ideally no but I'd consider it...what's your spec?

April 1, 2015

I'd previously advertised the car for sale, but now has come the time that it has to go. Car has no issues but I'll be leaving the country soon so it won't be required.

The car has been in my ownership since May 2014 and in that time it's been well looked after. I have owned the car from 115,500 miles and have done approx 5000 miles in the last 10 months of ownership. The car is used mainly on weekends and occasionally in the weekday.

The car is mechanically faultless and has been well looked after over the years. Thankfully I have a friend who is a BMW mechanic and had done a thorough check before my purchase and has been completed all maintenance for me (fully invoiced and BMW service stamps).

An Inspection II from BMW was completed just after my purchase (June 2014) as well as a new BMW alternator in July 2014. The car passed its MOT with no advisories on 1st October 2014. Road tax is due to expire at the end of April 2015 but this is no longer transferable so makes no difference

The car has had a new SMG II gearbox installed in it at a cost of approx Â£3000 (receipts available for proof).

Exterior:

The Estoril Blue paint is in excellent condition. There are a few minute marks, barely any stone chips, and a small scuff on the front lip. There is no evidence of rust to the bodywork. There is some peel on one of the parking sensors which I will have repaired.

The navy blue roof is in excellent condition with no pulls/rips/tears/etc. The roof is treated with Auto Glym's Cleaner & Sealant. The windscreen is treated with Rainex which really helps vision.

The car is washed with care, using a Meguiars lambswool mitt, Meguiars Gold shampoo, 2 bucket method, microfibre cloths for drying, dodo juice wax.

Interior:

Grey leather interior which is in excellent condition with no fading to it or any damage. There is some slight wear in the driver side bolster which can be seen in the picture. Carpets, side trim, dash trim are all in great condition too. The steering wheel has wear on it but hey, it is a 13 year old car. Steering wheel re-trim can be done for about Â£100-150 from several people on the Cutters forum.

Alloy Wheels and Tyres:

19" M3 alloys on the car. They are in good condition, but have some kerb marks, and some paint bubbling by the centre caps. This is easily repairable through a refurb.

Continental types all round, I haven't measured tread amounts but the car has passed its MOT on October and hasn't covered many miles since.

Summary:

I love driving this car...Although I've only owned it for a short period of time, I have looked after this car regardless of the cost. The sub-frame has been checked and there are no issues with it. I'll be sad to see it go another journey awaits me.

Did you get a good price for the M3?

October 13, 2014

Craigm - other way round. I'd top up some cash for the right Zed, or take a Zed+cash - really depends on the zed and its worth.

What do spec do you have?

October 12, 2014

Can I tempt you back? I'm about 10mins from Croydon if you want to come and see the car

Thanks for the info Ekona, I wasn't actually aware of that. Though did renew my tax yesterday as it due to expire

Great car, very surprised it hasn't sold especially at the price you've got it at right now.

From experience of selling my zed back in June/July 2012, I had 2 people interested, one of which bought the car. It is true what others have said, if someone sees it they will fall in love.

I am in the process of selling my M3 and considering reverting back to a Zed. At 8500 I'd be very interested. The scratch is off-putting and although the Birdseye Nav is pretty rubbish, I'd prefer a car with built in nav. Again, at your price I could let the nav slide!

If I sell my car soon I'd be keen to come and see your zed

October 9, 2014

NOTE: PHOTOS ADDED - TAKEN THIS MORNING IN THE FREEZING COLD - BETTER PICS TO FOLLOW ONCE I'VE GIVEN HER A WASH

P/X with a Zed would be considered

After some consideration, I've decided to sell my much loved M3. I won't bore you with all the details, but in short there are 2 reasons for my sale:

1) My wife is not too keen on the SMG box (whereas I loved it as soon I learnt how to handle it)

2) I'm leaving the country for 6 months early 2015 and the cash will come in handy for my travels - though I would consider P/X with a Zed

The car has been in my ownership since May 2014 and if I don't get a reasonable price for it now then I'll hold onto it until I go and sell it then. Again, the only reason for sale is the 2 points mentioned above. I have owned the car from 115500 miles and have done approx 3500 miles in the last 6 months of ownership. The car is used on weekends mainly and occasionally in the weekday.

The car is mechanically faultless and has been well looked after over the years. Thankfully my neighbour is a BMW mechanic and done a thorough check before my purchase and has been completed all maintenance for me (fully invoiced and BMW service stamps).

An Inspection II from BMW was completed just after my purchase (June 2014) as well as a new BMW alternator in July 2014. The car has just passed its MOT with no advisories on 1st October 2014. Road tax is due to expire at the end of October 2014 but I will be renewing this for 6 months as I still use the car.
