Hello, brand new to the forum so hopefully this made it to the right section. I have been thinking of adding a Z3 to the collection as I have always love both the coupe and roadster since I was in high school. I currently have a 2005 Lotus Elise and an 08 Tundra but am looking for something the wife doesnt hate to be in. She will ride in the lotus but get uncomfortable for anything over an hour or so. She thinks the roadsters are very cute but I have always thought the coupe look so good. I cant decide between the 2 and there is a 3.0 coupe locally with 214,000 miles. The interior/exterior look very clean and it is one owner since new and the owner says they have service receipts and the car needs nothing. I never have had a problem with high mileage cars (although this many miles would be the most yet) and If something blew up I would love to learn how to change out an engine. (i do all my own maintenance already so it should be possible). The coupe is $10,000 but I could get a roadster for a similar price that has under 100,000 miles. I dont want it to be a money pit but dont mind wrenching on it. Do i follow my heart to get a high mileage coupe? or do i just make the practical choice and buy the cheaper, far less mile example roadster. Is this a good price for a coupe with that high of mileage if it is clean? I am in California if that helps. Thank you for your input!
