Price Guide 2013?

[Jimbo]

With the recent high demand, low availability & talk of values starting to creep up, i wondered if any guides have been published or any of you experts could create one?

Something simple, assuming FSH, good condition for the milage, no accidents etc...

0 - 15,000 miles - £32k + ???
15,000 - 30,000 miles - £30 - 32k ???
30,000 - 50,000 miles - £27 - 30k ?

etc

Mines sitting on 82k at the moment, so interested in rough values now, not that i'm looking to sell (even though road tax has gone up a tenner..grrrrr:moan:)

On the subject of milage, what is considered, low, med & high milage now? Whats average?

Guessing most UK registered CSL's are on here, we could do with a mileage census to see where we all stand!

If ive missed a thread relating to this topic, please point me in the right direction.

Whilst I admire your bravery I'd seriously suggest that we let the market decide what they are worth. If. Was selling one at the moment I would certainly be upping it by 10% and holding firm awaiting offers if they come. With limited cars and even more limited availability it doesn't change the fact that you need to be prepared to wait 4-12 weeks t get a nibble, the secret is to be brave enough t leave the car at a decent asking price when that nibble comes and not to have panicked snd dropped the asking price.

Thats some quick replies!

Im all for letting the market decide, just wondered what the market was saying today.

I have a graph of last 3 years asking prices:mileage if that helps!

This was the old version about 1 year out of date, I'll look at running off a new one.

That's about spot on for asking price. I am pleased to say, despite the perceived demand at the moment, there is still quite a bit of movement in negotiated/selling price.

[Mark CSL]

Here are some things that change the prices listed.

My car has a new engine fitted and gearbox not to mention almost all the car its at 56,000 miles and if it was up for sale the asking price would be £28,000 .

Buying a car is all about condition / history / owners and warranty if i was look for a CSL and a car with a new engine from bmw and paperwork to prove it can only be a good thing.

Also the SB csl is the way to go as there was only 100 uk cars :blalalala::blalalala::blalalala:

...I am pleased to say, despite the perceived demand at the moment, there is still quite a bit of movement in negotiated/selling price.

Agreed. Also a lot of alternatives at the price range, including the IM, Cayman R, E92 M3, 6GT3's. And money is in short supply.

& CSL's are rarely the only car in a family.

Can't argue with that for people who want to use the cars. But how many cars out there have the PERFECT condition/history and less than 3 owners?

[83SY]

Does the number of owners matter? Mine has had five but I have every reciept time dated including bill of sale each time the car has changed hands. Services at main dealer on time every time even tho wasn't due on mileage.

IMO alot CSL owners tend to tick the box and move them on? If the cars been looked after as it should by each owner how much difference / value does it make?

The values make no difference as its a keeper but always nice to know the residuals are high! :beer:

[cslgirl]

And does it increase the price to have one lady owner for the last 9 years? :whistle: :-D

[83SY]

IMO that would dramatically effect the residual value :hahaha:

All four wheels kerb marks, all four corners painted, wear in the carpet from heals (as per Shimmy's car) Smell of perfume that will never leave the cockpit!

But let's think about it seriously,

car never driven above 4000k revs, outside of tyres in perfect condition, Very light seat upholstery wear and mirrors virtually unused! :smokin:

[cslgirl]

:hahaha::hahaha:

Hand on heart I have never kerbed a wheel. The car usually looks abandoned I am that far away from them :hahaha:

Apart from the ones in the sunvisor :whistle:

[_Nathan_]

A new engine might be attractive to some, but as these cars transition from trackday choice to collectors cars an original engine number will be a must for the bearded collector types IMO.

[Mark CSL]

Nathan i would not agree as i have bought a lot of cars and never have i looked at engine numbers.

A brand new engine form the maker can only be a good thing but that may just be me :smokin:
but the same car for sale with the original engine and the condition was the same it would be the new engined car i would buy.

[_Nathan_]

That is my point though, you are buying to use, not to collect where originality is important.

Everyone is different Mark. Some like different things.
No 2 buyers are the same.

I've sold £30,000 cars and some dont look, they just turn up, look at it for 30 seconds. Then buy it. Dont even open the bonnet.

And ive sold £250 cars that people go over with a fine tooth comb.
