It's not on their web-site. Guess they still want mega money for it too?

[Rchamps81]

Just had a response to the advert, they want £60k for it.

Surely that adds another few grand to yours, matt?? ... :hahaha:

[82CSL]

Can't seem to access the instagram link posted...is it on a dealer website / can someone try to re-post?

cheers

[Rchamps81]

The advert is literally a couple of pics, with no details or prices. If you want, you can contact the dealer on abroomhead@royles-jaguar.co.uk

Good luck, it was a bit out of my price range but might be what you're looking for. :thumbs:

At this rate, csl ownership will be long periods of carcoon storage followed by studying the future value prior to sale....only for the process to be repeated by the next owner.

Shite. :banghead:

Great if you're selling, but a pain in the arse if you're trying to buy one to actually drive!!

I can see it in the photos

I can see it in the photos

I went to go see this car when it was over at Graypaul; noticed the front spoiler hadn't been resprayed particularly well, but what is the bad repair you are referring to LHutchin?

Does anyone know whether this was the black one on autotrader a few weeks ago?

Seems a good price.

[Matt21]

That's jumped in price!

[Rchamps81]

Ha! Just called them, it was up for 39k, now they want more!

Can't believe how difficult it is to buy one of these cars...

[nw99]

Same one as you say jumping in price but didn't sell before so wonder why

Has that 39k one on PH sold? That seems very cheap now.

Think £45k with 70k on the clock is a little ambitious

Agreed.

It's getting to a stage where I'm going to draw a line under it and shell out the extra for a GT3 or F430. Too many speculators forcing supply for those who just want a fun daily car...

[LeinsCSL]

Agreed.

How is that any different to what's happened the GT3? The respective values of CSLs & GT3s are inextricably linked, so there's never going to be too big a gap between them

If you just want a fun daily, there are plenty of other cars out there which aren't as rare or in demand as the CSL

Because gt3's have bottomed out and people know what they're going to pay if they want to get one. CSL market seems to really have accelerated over the last months to the extent that peoplea dvertise cars, you then call them willing to pay what the car is listed for, only to find out the car is gone up £5k and five people are interested in a bidding war...

If you want a GT3 you rock up with the cash and buy one. CSLs seem to be much more work.

[Pooky]

But that wasn't the point you made and what prompted my reply. The issue you had was with a 70k mile car costing £45k, whereas for a bit more you could buy a GT3. All you have proven with your reply is that there is huge demand for CSLs

If you're getting the run-around from sellers then that's a different matter, and I would agree that it would be annoying

[Rchamps81]

Ok, maybe a 430 is a stretch for a daily. GT3 and CSL would be ideal dailies for me (we have a 320d for family runs). But then again, I used to commute on a BMW S1000RR so practicality isn't a big thing for me! Like to experience these cars as much as possible, which means daily driving to me. :thumbs:

You're right, apologies, I didn't get my point across as effectively as I could of. I was, or should of been, expressing concern with the difficulties in finding someone to sell me a car. You're def right that there is a huge demand for these cars. I just wonder whether this demand is from those who actually want a car to drive or an investment... Suppose it doesn't matter to sellers as they get too dollars for a great car.

[MisterCorn]

CSL makes a great daily. I have taken the BMW over a manual car if I thought the traffic would be bad. Waste of talent, but I'll take easy.

MC.

PS. I hear loads of bad things said about SMG. The only one I havec driven is the CSL. Is the standard version so bad?

[MisterCorn]

To answer the question about buying a car as an investment. I was 50/50 when I bought mine. Prices were on the up and there was nowhere else to put your money. After over a thousand miles in the car you can prise it out of my cold dead hands. If I could have one car, this would be it :)

No probs :beer:, and I do take your point too. I think CSLs are definitely being marketed by the specialist dealers more towards investors than drivers now, as the blurb nearly always talks about the potential for growth in value. Such is the sad part of this current market

Even the latest car mag Modern Classics is full of "investment opportunities" in their articles

I have to agree.

Nothing comes close to the csl in the same price bracket.....but this is quickly vanishing as the CSL marches ever closer toward GT3 values.

[73CSL]

a good GT3 is getting on for another £20K on top though

As I've mentioned before, I'm thinking of getting another aircooled Porsche to go alongside my others but I will need to sell the CSL , but for £40K or less I'm struggling to find anything I'd want. In the current market the CSL is well priced.

Of course I'm now in the situation of thinking if I sell now , will I kick myself next year if prices are firmer again ?

[mattCSLnut]

I'm sorry to interject here but what's mileage really got to do with anything ?
While I'm not trying to defend that particular CSL, I am still a proud an owner of a 91K miles CSL that will put other cars (CSLs included) half it's mileage to shame, on condition & provenance in equal measure... and if you don't believe me, just ask the guys @ Bartlett :smokin:

I'm sorry to say this but this mileage obsession is very childish, an idiotic tool used by lazy car dealers to knock values of good cars to create an easy profit margin and its mentality harlks right back to the bitter days of British Layland were cars literarly exploded as they approched the 100K barrier :hahaha: ... if they actually ever managed to get near that figure ;)

FYI Matt... this is one and the same car that was £39K and now available with DAT "Dealer Added Tax" ;)

I am in agreement with you! But there is no escaping that the market considers price a big factor. There is correlation in asking price vs price. It make not make sense, and it might be dealers playing a game, but it happens.

I accept that my 65k car with perfect history, SS exhaust and APs is worth less than my 34k example.

Regarding the 39k car I meant mileage. It has been up for some time. If it hasn't there must be something suspicious about it.

Seems a good price.

That has standard m3 front discs on. Clear from the pics.
I have had a few messages regarding this car, when I had it in for a post purchase inspection there were a few issues found.
Some issues were remedied but others were not.

It's not a bad car, interior was tidy, it drove nice. Boot floor had small cracks which is now repaired and plated. I would have bought it, so it's certainly not a bad car, but the price would have to reflect any remedial works required.

But my advice to any buyer of any CSL is to have a leak down test done on any prospective car. Comp test might be ok, but leak down will show any issues that might not be apparent whilst driving or on comp test.

Compression test without a simultaneous leak down check would give next to no assurance.

There was lots of respray not done well and poorly aligned panels

I remember, you were the chap looking for the 'holy grail'? Lance?

Yes, this is my old car. And yes, the bumper, wing, and door hadn't had the Rolls Royce of repairs / paint. But, the buyer of this car had a full inspection done on it and there was no evidence or proof of big accident damage. FFS it could of been damaged by a supermarket trolley in the car park!! People get too hung up on finding the 'perfect' car. It never exists. The CSL was a car that was well known for being 'used', 'tracked'. They were cheap as chips at one time - people bought them to use them, not to wrap them up in cotton wool (like they are now). It's been said many times - if in doubt, have an inspection done. Tyre-kicker Lance would of been £10k+ up now if he was 'serious' about owning a CSL. The engine had been fully rebuilt by BMW at a cost of nearly £20k. Warranty - Yes. Bootfloor repair - yes. FSH - yes. Receipts for £kkkk's - yes. Low owners - yes. Above average condition - definitely. Why did i sell? - GT4 arriving in November!

Anyway, effing great car the CSL was. Sadly didn't get to use mine much as it was down at Elms BMW in most of my ownership. Come on BMW, sort the fucking parts supply issues out!! This wouldn't happen in any other premium brand.

Oh, and good luck to the dealer who now has the car, and also to anyone that buys this car. If it really chomps yer sausage, get the front resprayed!

Bit of advice Lance - stop talking boll0x about other peoples cars and go buy something. Lifes too short.

Heeee heeee !!
Well said man.
It's a car. Drive it enjoy it. If not perfect fix it up.. It's part of the bonding element and making the car yours. !!
Mine is in the for sale section and will be going this weekend. It's pending the report from Bartletts.
I have had people banging on about stone chips and kerbed alloys(not a mark on them)
Honestly it's a car meant to be driven, if u want an investment buy gold bullion or diamonds or art !!

Isn't it strange how potential owners looking @ £50K csl's quibble about minor cosmetic imperfections that can be professionally restored for a fraction of the car's value.

Ok I wasn't going to elaborate but seeing as I was talking bollox I'd better

The bonnet, fns wing, and ns door had been painted badly
The bonnet and ns wing don't align properly and you can still see this in the royals jag pictures
It had also been painted into the b pillar shut
I spoke to the previous owner who admitted hitting something down a country lane and replacing the front bumper
Maybe this was all that was damaged but to me it set alarms bells ringing
I didn't consider these minor cosmetic issues but that is my opinion
When you are spending £55k buying a car from a prestige car dealer i expect the product to be flawless, it wasn't.

The car had clearly had a hard life early on as most of the parts had been replaced including the engine rebuild

I'm fussy about my cars and I was looking for a keeper so decided to walk away.

It's for sale again very quickly but there may be a genuine reason for that

Sounds fair to me. I would want a straight one at that price.

I would suggest calling Dan at Munich Legends before buying any cars .
He sold my car without any fuss and always has buyers and sellers of top quality cars. Dan knows the market inside out and will only buy the best cars for re sale.
They are a top outfit .
