Another CSL in Australia

[Chrispy]

Got some nice piccies taken today of the CSL at the parent's place. Sadly she is up for sale, but in no hurry to move along :whistle:

Originally from NZ (9 of 10 apparently). Brought over by the last owner a few years ago. Was his daily drive for a while, and now I just use it to get breakfast with the boys up the mountains every few weeks. Love it.

All the best with the sale :) Just be patient, the right person will come along.

Looks Great :thumbs:

How meany Aussie $

[Chrispy]

Asking $85k. Market seems to be high $60k's for UK import, and just under $100k for Aus delivered with less than 100,000km on them. Mines got 78K or so.

Wait for right buyer and push into the high 90s mate. Oz prices seem to have fallen slightly the past few years. Given that UK prices have gone up 5-10k in the last 12 months, and with only 27 cars in Oz, why shouldn't you get a high price. 78000km (48k miles) is is also fairly low mileage these days.

[Brandtner]

^ Yes, that would appear to be the logic but unfortunately CSLs here in Australia are heavily underappreciated. It took me 6 months to sell mine and it had 47000km (29k miles). No way did I get high 90s for it.

Mine is a New Zealand import, so will command a little less than the Aussie delivered cars. Even though they are the same and no salt roads etc.

Can I be rude and asked what you got for yours? SG I assume? Aussie or import?

[JBird]

Unsalted roads is a good point.

Would also be interested to know what you got for yours Brandtner. PM if you feel comfortable telling. I will return home to Oz one day, and debating weather to take the UK car (low mileage, know the car, any issues sorted by now) with me or source a good OZ one.

How have the boot floors faired in Oz? Did anyone get theirs inspected or replaced?

Not a lot of CSL's to chose from over here... Bit of a glut at the moment with a whole 4 for sale! All in QLD too.

I haven't heard of any local CSL's needing the floors replaced. I have seen some 'normal' E46 M3's having the fix. Mine has been inspected a few times and no signs of any cracking.

for some reason I expected a CSL to be worth more in Aus / NZ than in the UK .

Generally they are / were. Not too long ago (2-3 years) I remember an Oz one going for about AUD 110k, at a time when a uk prices were GBP 20k - 30k (20k being a 200,000 miler, 30k being mint sub 30,000 miles). There was money to be made exporting, even if a UK one fetched less in Oz.

Times have changed, Oz prices have dropped, UK prices have risen, and the AUD has dropped about 20% relative to the pound. Current prices seem on par with Hexagon prices.

If you compare Oz CSL prices to E46 or E91 M3 prices, the CSL is currently seriously under appreciated. If the V8 driving bogans don't wake up one day people will start exporting the Oz ones which would be sad.

It was an Aussie model, SG, no accident history and very well maintained (I went through the trouble of replacing all hoses on it, upgrading oil cooler, brakes (pads, fluid steel braided lines) and RTABs. PM for price.

Brandtner, did yours stay in WA or go interstate?
