BMW Z8 Prices?

...Seems to be all over the place, what should I expect to pay for a clean Z8?

Found this Alpina Z8 and love it, Cars for Sale: 2003 BMW Z8 Alpina Roadster 2D in BEVERLY HILLS , CA 90211: Convertible Details - 267139983 - AutoTrader.com

Wow, I had no idea they were this low in price. I could have sworn they were still around 100k

See above post. Most are around $100k. if this one is $50k there's a reason for it. I would stay away. You get exactly what you pay for.

A quick check on ebay showed Z8's are selling in the $85k-$115k range. That Alpina is either the bargain of the century or like ATL said, there is something wrong with it.

Wow, smells funny, but damn, you'd be sorry if you didn't check it out yourself. He describes it as a clean no accidents personal vehicle. I think it's worth the effort to check it out.

Be careful, the Z8 is very susceptible to frame damage. The price of the one you posted is about what a salvaged Z8 would sell for. My guess would be it has one or both of those issues.

this could be the deal of a lifetime. You could even but it and resell it tomorrow for $75k

or it could be this...
