According to the ThisIsMoney inflation calculator:
CSL 2003 = £58,000
Today the CSL would cost £80,022.60

As a recent buyer into this marque, I feel able to comment here.
I have been watching prices for a while now wanting one but thinking it was too late to get one, as prices are rising all the time it seems.
So you can still buy a CSL for <£30k but they are becoming few and far between. There were 2 being advertised for £29,995 when I was looking and I was tempted to get one of those, until sjb's came along.
Most are around £32/33k. Some are more but generally they are <50k miles and from specialist profiteering garages.
I wanted one as they were always one of those cars 'you simply had to experience' and a great drivers car. It also made sense as they are currently (and have been for some time) great investments. I'm pretty sure I'll only have mine for a couple of years before buying something else (996 GT3 Gen 2 is the next target).
If things carry on as they are (as mine will not rack up miles) good example cars will hit £35k+ I'm sure, and higher milers will hit £30k without any issue.

CSL values have increased moderately since 2011 and most owners purchasing or selling have benefitted from this. We still have some way to go before the E46 CSL is in the same tier as the E9 or the E30.
What is really good of late is the high mileage examples now increasing in value as the garage queens all become buried in dehumidified storage.
The real eye opener is current GT3 RS values....Off the chart.
2 Viper green RS's advertised in the last 3 months have retailed at 179,000
and 150,000. These owners must be over the moon.:thumbs:

No plans on selling, so its more than just an investment for me. Not sure I'd like to imagine a day I'd be without the Cesil :bigcry:

I recently decided pretty much out of the blue to sell my CSL. To be honest it hadn't been used as intended and with a 3 month old baby I couldn't even justify taking him out in it as the one time I tried he just went mental in it. I sold it to stumpy on here for what I thought was a fair price. Dan at ML knew the car and basically said if the deal fell through he could guarantee getting me £2k more than I sold it for..... As it was I'd lost a fair bit on it simply down to me spending lots on it getting it 100%. I can live with that.
On the plus side I've had this for a week now and am sure I made the right decision.

The CSL was just too hardcore for me, there, I've admitted it :whistle:

A very nice purchase there Shawn...

Cheers, perfect for my needs and I've always wanted one. I didn't pay full price and it doesn't need a penny spending on it :smokin:

How does it compare as a drivers car?
Always loved the shape of the E30

Slower!! but it does need a valve adjustment and throttle body sync....it has a kind of vtec feel kick in at 5k+ though which is fun and it starts to sound good up at those revs... you do need to rev the tits off it to get it going but then it is surprisingly quick. It's got the feel of an older car without doubt but so much less hardcore and tiring (for me) than the csl. It can certainly be thrown about without the slightest hint of it's going to kill you. I attempted to take our 4 month old baby out in the csl a few times and he went truly mental. Yesterday we pulled up the OE rear window blind and went for a 3.5 hour drive in the E30 and he slept the whole time. Sad, but that's what's important for me at the moment...
I do miss the racket the csl made though :smt055
