What is a 60k CSL worth ?

[gmangtr]

Average cndition service history at auction what would you pay ?

[shimmy]

i would guess private sale 60k worth £21k, 40k miles £24k, 25k miles £26k

then factor in extras

auction i would knock off £1k

Interesting parkers says £15k at auction

[Jeff]

But parkers dont have a clue about such cars in reality. You just have to look at their GT3 prices to realise you cannot buy cars at the price they claim they're worth - last time I looked.
It's true you can grab a bargain at auction so if you get it for under the prices listed you've done well right?

of course it might be possible to get that at auction ESP if all the dealers think it is an M3

if you did you could make a tidy £4k profit and have it sold the next day.

Anybody who knows the car realises it is worth more than that broken and sold in parts with the M3 owners demand for CSL parts.

[Jeff]

Maybe rather than selling mine I should just break it :)

i seem to remember a shed goin though the auction a few months ago for about 17k?? im sure there is a thread on here somewhere...or maybe it was Bm3w..ahem..mtorque...RIP

[4CSL4]

I think the last 2 to go through the auction went for £16k and £17k, within the last few months, if that is a guide for you. They will be in the auction for a reason, and that is because they cant get a decent retail price. So what is wrong with the car???

[csl_mba]

Might be a run in service not done on or before 1200 miles?

[angelus666]

If it has 60k on the clock the 1200 running in service is hardly going to be a factor now is it....! At 16k that is a genuine bargain...!

A dealer friend of mine was there, although he isnt a BMW man, he seems to think it went for £18,000, but he wasnt really paying attention to it !!

According to BCS Nottingham it went for over £20 K but they couldn't be exact on the price. There was suppose to have been a reserve @ £24 K but it didn't materialize. I know the owner of OW03 USJ was DESPERATE to sell it and must have panicked last minute. How do I, know U may ask. I was going to bid on it over the phone, having done my homework on this car but BCA rules prohibit non car dealers to do that. My search for a SG CSL continues. BTW HI to all, I'm a NEW member, CSL less at the mo. B-(

It seems the SG CSL OW03 USJ is back on the market after being SOLD through BCA Nottingham last week for around £22 K. A dealer called "Swancar of Loughborough" are now marketing it @ £23 950, after SYTNER BMW of Leicester failed to sell it for a much higher £28 500. All dealers seem to be banging on about the second hand market picking up but my observation is they are simply working to much lower profit margins these days. SORRY to go on about this one but I nearly had this CSL for £22 K prior to the Auction, having been told if it didn't reach it's reserve of £24 K, I would have first refusal. Strangely, when I quizzed BCA about there being a reserve, they said there wasn't one ?!?! Hmmmm ?

[mattCSLnut]

Final update ( I promise ) on OW03 USJ, the SG CSL that went trough the BCA halls few weeks back. Having rung Swancar of Loughborough to arrange a viewing, I have been told that they have now SOLD this car (yesterday 9th of Oct. '09) to it's NEW owner. They didn't make MUCH profit on it as they paid £22 800 + some small fees and were asking a VERY reasonable £23 950 which they got, only a week after buying it from the Auction. :thumbs: It was interesting to have a quick chat with the sales chap (a very well spoken, honorable fellow) who commented very favorably about this particular CSL. In his own words ( ... it's as if someone has taken the whole vehicle apart and rebuild it, with NEW parts, absolutely everything, down to nuts & bolts, washer etc . Incredible for any car, but especially one that is 6 years old and has covered 60K from NEW. This one will stay in my mind for a long time)
THE END :bigcry:

maybe you should be asking yourself why it looks like it has been rebuilt?

[SIEN]

Exactly. From what I heard, and I told you this Matt, that car has been in a serious scrape but not got it recorded on HPI, meaning probably a track crash and repair.

Suppose that's fine if it has indeed been repaired with all new parts etc... but that still should be reflected in the price.

The last owner was desperate to sell because it had been up for sale for months... dropping steadily a thousand at a time.

Like I said, barge and pole. Don't lose any sleep over missing out on that one.

Ermmmmm... because... ermmm.... it has been ? :whistle:

[mattCSLnut]

ARRRRRRRRR ! I'm loosing my mind here... going CSL CRAZZZY ! :banghead: I thought you were talking about the other SG CSL from Leicester area that was being SOLD privately. I'm glad that's been cleared now. Did U know that car was being retailed by Sytner Leicester only few weeks ago, at an over the top price of £28 500 with not a single sole making serious enquiries. It's the reason why it ended up the Auction, I guess. Water under the bridge. :hahaha:
