In other words, Models Not Included But included with this sale, the winning bidder that does complete the transaction will receive all digital photographs of the vehicle and the models if they want them. We Want Your Business Please call and we can discuss your serious and intelligent offer. Be confident your intent to buy will be met by me, the owner, courteously. Thanks, Doug Williams 702-353-7500 Before you email me that awful question, "what's your reserve or bottom line", let's take a moment to explain how to get a deal on eBay. Make your serious offer. This is an auction, NOT a classified. I can already tell you that I want the most a capable buyer is willing to pay, but that will be ZERO if you are not willing to make an offer. If you just want to know the real national market values on average cars across the U.S. then look at the book values posted and my suggested price listed right on the book sheet. That will tell you what I am using to judge the value of this vehicle. But please consider this, you are not looking at an AVERAGE vehicle. I don't buy average vehicles because they are just that...vehicles that anyone can find anywhere in the U.S. I am always on the hunt for well above average vehicles, the "needle in the haystack" cars and trucks...and I can't buy them for less that average values and neither will you. So, if you want a top shelf vehicle that stands out from the rest, place your bid or call me with a fair and intelligent offer. Real buyers with serious offers in mind, either bid and they almost always call us. They almost always want to talk to the person in charge; that's me. I want to talk to you too and help you own this awesome vehicle. It keeps me in business. So, if you want a fantastic vehicle like you see here, one that is far above the average in condition, serviced and documented like this, simply call. Asking through email for my bottom line? Well, I just think you're not too serious or willing to make an offer; makes it a waste of my time and yours. If you just want to know what the market value is, do what we do, look at the vehicle closely and try to find another just like it with similar rarity and documentation. If you can't find one, just decide what it is worth to you to own it. That is what I did and all we can hope for is that you offer a bit more than I did so I can stay in business. Most important though, since you "are" a serious and capable buyer, call me and let's talk. I don't wear a Plaid Coat, I don't talk really fast and I am the guy in charge, the owner, enthusiast and purveyor of some of the finest cars on the internet...not to mention the best thorough presentations. Let's talk...Call me Doug 702-353-7500 Back-story from the owner... You are looking for the nicest, best kept, best maintained and seriously immaculately cared for, 1999 BMW Z3 2.3 Roadster. You are here because the quality found in your neck of the woods, by even the lowest standards, is a joke. I know exactly how you feel. I attend specialty and dealer-only auctions every week searching for the best of the best in what I call "niche autos." I scan auction lists of over 3,000 vehicles locally each week and select cars I've come to know are hard to find and that fit my business model of marketing exclusively on eBay. BMWs of all kinds make it onto my own list every time they show up and a small number of these, maybe 4-6 a week, might appear at one of the three major auctions here in the Las Vegas area or perhaps in local classifieds. During the past fifteen years I've seen thousands of vehicles every single year and what that means for you is; I have looked at, touched and smelled a lot of vehicles. I am extremely picky about what to buy or list online and this Z3 is one of just a handful nice enough for this business model. Past ownership, service history and condition, condition, condition are what matters. BMWs are not always treated well, but a precious few are taken care of with extreme measures. This particular BMW Z3 is one of those rare finds and you will not want to pass it up. Beautiful paint, spectacular interior, documented service history and an absolute knock-out to see in person, not to mention a car that was serviced regularly As good as my pictures are, they can't possibly show how truly beautiful this Z3 really is. What else could you want? A great deal? I have that covered too but you will not be purchasing this fine automobile for wholesale or even low book value, if you want that, find a beat Z3 Roadster that wasn't serviced to perfection and I am sure you can find a "cheap" one. You already know you get what you pay for and if you want unmatched quality, service, care and condition, this BMW Z3 Roadster is a super rare find. Read what we have to say, examine every picture in detail, see the amazing condition, up close and personal and then make your call and give me an offer. I promise, you will not be disappointed.

Spectacular Interior - Equipment & Options Where do you find such low mile Sports cars? Viva Las Vegas Autos! This Stunning fresh 1999 BMW Z3 2.3 Roadster is a highly sought after sports car. It's a two owner and has traveled just 48,380 miles and looks great, inside and out. I have a local friend and client that has brought me several cars of his over the years, he scouts out classic and low mileage collectible cars and drives them for a few years then calls me to market them for him so he can go and find another toy to enjoy. I always love getting his cars because they are always super well kept, super low in miles and he never brings me a sled that's junk and needs any repairs. This is just another one of his great cars that is in super condition and has great low miles. Out west here we also have another great advantage, NO RUST. When you have a chance to scroll down and look at all the undercarriage picture I took, you will see what beauty lies beneath. But it doesn't stop there. Mechanically, this little Bimmer is a gem. It drives excellent. Super smooth and without any anticipation of issues. All I can hope is that you, our buyer are looking for an above average BMW Z3 2.3 Roadster that feels exceptional and you don't mind a few minor chip, scuffs and small dings. As long as you don't expect perfection in a car that is nearly 20 years old, we will be fine. BUT! Let me assure you that I am very confident the mechanicals are exceptional on this car. You will be able to see the scuffs, dings and chips as you scroll through the pictures, and I believe after a thorough investigation of the presentation, you'll see that the overall condition is exceptional by all means. More about the condition? How's this... LOOKS, DRIVES AND FEELS GREAT! The first thing I do before I list any car is look at it's condition then do a very serious investigation on it's service history and care. As you can see looking at it from top to bottom, we have a great history on this car. Condition like this is indicative of an owner that takes pride in their vehicle. The owner of this car always used manufacturer suggested service. Anybody knows that when you take you car to the dealer service department, their objective is to inform you of any and all issues that your car may have so you can have them serviced. That makes their clients car/truck stay in great shape and makes the dealer more money in service. It's all just part of their inspection programs. I spent years in dealership and even ran a service department. Looking at the condition of this car tells me, I have a winner and I know you'll feel the same. Looking at the brake pads you can see that they appear like brand new If that kind of care isn't important to you and you're ONLY concern is getting a cheap car, I am sure you'll find one that fits your budget to buy...but remember...it'll cost a lot more in the future...especially with a EuroSport like this. Extreme Care is THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT to finding a great vehicle. I am hoping it's important to my buyer too. Books & records back to brand new are here too. A note from the owner. I am a “used car dealer” but before that, I’m an automobile enthusiast. I love original rare and high quality modified vintage cars and over the past decade I’ve been in business, have come to appreciate an expanding selection of high-demand, high value vehicles. I specialize in and am always on the lookout for cars and trucks that were cherished by their previous owners. I have an experienced eye for quality but I’ve discovered that my preferred buyer can instantly discern such a vehicle and I have therefore, built my business and reputation around finding these kinds of cars for this type of customer. Super low miles and/or gentle ownership are strict requirements but a car must do something for me on a personal level if there is any hope of convincing you, the bidder, that this is an above average, exceptional vehicle. If nothing about the car excites me, it probably won’t do much for you either and I would soon be out of business. With just four employees and no sales people, I realize how unusual a “dealership” like mine may at first glance appear. It has taken great care and effort to create such an organization and often, an unusually high investment in a particular car we are about to list. To sell the best it is critical to have a trusted expert in my corner and Chris, owner of A-Best Auto Repair in Henderson, Nevada has my back. He and his crew can fix anything; from a low budget beater to the absolute most expensive exotic you can name, no job is too big and no small detail unimportant. They do an exhaustive 130 point inspection on each and every vehicle and nothing escapes their methodical investigation. Experience has shown that everything I spend making a car truly “right” will come back to me not only with a higher selling price, but a happy customer that says good things about me. Moreover; it allows my writer to describe the car with ease and confidence, something that simply is not possible unless he thinks it is true. If major issues are found or the cost of fixing the car the way it should be makes it too expensive to sell, my choice is an easy one. I simply absorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell it at auction. After the vehicle is fully sorted it arrives at our facility where it encounters the suspicious eye of Tom, my writer that creates the presentations you see on eBay. He believes absolutely nothing I or anyone else tells him about the car as he combs over every inch, researches its history and documents originality and authenticity. Historical significance, rarity, special features, possible modifications and much more are used to accurately describe the vehicle with integrity and honesty. Most important for the potential buyer are the 100 to 150 high resolution pictures that I take myself. The pricey equipment I use would be right at home in the hands of the very best professional photographers and I’ve developed a logical format that walks you around the entire vehicle with close-up shots of every square inch. I provide detailed views of the interior, under the hood and then put it on a lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that the beauty of the car you are considering is not merely skin deep. Even our detailers are enthusiastic about the cars they so meticulously clean. This reconditioning can sometimes take several days and I’ve converted a paint booth, especially prepared for the professional clay bar and polishing each car lovingly receives. Usually, I’ll also include a high definition video that shows the car doing its thing. If it’s a fast car, we film it going fast. If it’s a 4x4 you’ll see it crawling up a hill. In every case you will hear things like a rumbling exhaust, working sound system and watch the temperature fall on a digital, laser thermometer pointed at an air conditioning vent. How many “dealers” will video a Lotus Esprit doing a buck-eighty? We do. No “dealer,” on-line or in the real world, takes it to this level. No other seller or organization provides you, the buyer, with so much information. I do this because it is the only way I can convince a person; often a world away, unable to touch or feel their purchase, that my vehicle is for real and what I say is the truth. All the above is necessary for me to stay in business while keeping integrity intact. I want every buyer to be happy and I need glowing feedback on eBay. To accomplish that I need satisfied customers that are as thrilled with their purchase as I was when I bought it. If you have any questions at all, please call me on my cell at: 702-353-7500. If your inquiry is sincere and your offer serious, you’ll find me the most accommodating business partner you’ve ever dealt with. If you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “what is my bottom line” I will be looking for ways to politely end the conversation. Until you are ready to actually pull the trigger, I will happily quote you the absolute highest nationally advertised suggested retail price I can find – a number we both know will not buy the car so, don’t waste your time, or mine. I am after all, a “used car dealer.” Serious buyers know the maximum they can offer. I then must simply decide if I can sell for that number. If you hit the reserve, the decision is no longer mine. I must sell at that number. OFFERS GET MY ATTENTION: 702-353-7500 or Doug@vivalasvegasautos.com If you want to make a deal, pick up the phone and talk a serious offer. 702-353-7500 I don't respond to emails asking for "bottom line, sale price, reserve, or Buy-it-Now" figures on top line cars. THE ONLY WAY YOU GET THOSE FIGURES IS TO CALL ME! The book values posted below are relevant to "real" selling figures. NADA & KBB wouldn't be in business if their values were not real but their figures are averaged for the entire nation. If this car is less than or better than this average, bid or offer accordingly.
