Evening all. I am not yet a CSL owner, currently chugging around in a 2002 M3 convertible. Looking to move to a CSL in the spring. Just thought I would drop in and say 'hi'.

Welcome MC and good luck with the hunt. Many cars come up on here without making it to AT or PH so keep an eye out :)

Hi MC, welcome and good luck with your search.

Not being rude about your present car, but a Cesil is going to feel so light and responsive in comparison. You will so love it. :smt055

That is one of the reasons for joining here, I bought my NSX in the same way, it never made it to market. :hahaha:

Just down the road from me, I am in West Bridgford.

W1 NSX. If you see me give me a shout, much more likely to see me in my M3 though.

How hard can they be to find? Only two colours, limited options, no gearbox choice, just down to mileage and service history. I intend to wait for the spring to sell my cab, but if the right car at the right price comes along I'll make a move. Unfortunately the CSL will be living out on the road, but as my M3 cab has lived on the road I'm sure it will be fine. I won't be using it every day, but I'll be sharing duties between the M3, Range Rover, and Merc SL, to keep the mileage sensible. I do about 30 miles a day normally.

Well, there's not many that exist to start with.

Then you need to find one for sale.
Then you want ideal mileage, condition and impeccable paperwork.
Then you need to agree a price.

I know it's all super obvious, but doesn't leave many options.

And needs to go in that garage surely ?

I spent nearly a year looking for my NSX. I wanted an NA2 with pop up headlights, red, black leather, low mileage. After I bought it I found there were possibly 6 in the country. I don't mind waiting a year to find the right car. I have a two car garage, which the Westfield has to be in, as it has no roof or windscreen, and it is joined by either the 911 or the NSX. The CSL will be used regularly and can handle the weather, so I don't worry about that. It is not a show car. It is one to be driven and enjoyed. I can't wait, at least it has a proper roof, not like the M3 convertible I have now.
