Why hasn't the 29k miler Hexagon CSL sold?
 
I'm surprised to see the black 29k miler at Hexagon hasn't sold yet. Anyone know how long they have had it, and any reason why it's still unsold? For a low-mileage dealer supplied car with warranty it probably isn't as overpriced as first thought (?) - more so if you get a couple of grand off it!

What is it up for.

CraigMillwardCroft 01-09-2014 07:59 PM

Found it, looking at the brakes it has not moved for a long time, brakes are all rusty car must not be kept inside a nice building,

I think it's been there at least a year. It one was of 4 CSLs they took in stock last summer. I viewed all 4 earlier this year, and the Black 29k example appeared to have had the hardest life. The front bumper was heavily stone chipped - suggesting it's possibly spent a fair bit of time chasing Caterhams around the track.

It went up for sale in October last year, originally priced at £51,995 subsequently reduced to £48,995. Now the asking price is a mere £45,995, an incomplete/poor service history would be my guess. :whistle:

overpriced. its GT3 money as well. like the house market the car market will take a turn soon.

I hope outfits like hexagon get burnt for being greedy feckers.

Hexagon are not your normal BMW dealer though & don't have the pressure of financing & having to shift stock.
They can sit on the cars for as long as it takes for the market to catch up.

Went to have a look at this CSL the other day

The service history seems ok to me and the car seems in much better condition than one I looked at a main dealer in Wolverhampton

The front bumper and bonnet gave been resprayed which is a shame as it would have been nice to see the original condition

Downsides apart from the price is that it needs a inspection 1 service and brake fluid change, and the subframe has not been done.

Also as Hexagon are no longer a main dealer they car wouldn't come with a AUC warranty just a RAC one which I doubt is as comprehensive

The car also has APs and KW suspension where again I would prefer a standard car

It was nice to see a big folder of history with the car though

CraigMillwardCroft 14-10-2014 12:01 PM

The car is ready to be used with all the bits on :thumbs: if standard you would only have to change the bits.

Neil M 14-10-2014 12:20 PM

Positive spin is that you would be saving at least £5.5K with the mods already fitted.
If you want it OEM it wouldn't cost that much to revert it back to original, you can then resell the bits you don't want to offset the cost.:thumbs:

LHutchin 14-10-2014 03:23 PM

Thanks

Would probably keep the APs but change the suspension as not going on track

But that is what they were built for and you really can enjoy the drive :thumbs:

Where is the love Nick? It was GT3 money but not anymore. The last 996 GT3 went for GBP 52,000 I believe.

You heard it here - Das Chin "Fire starter" :hahaha:

Interesting to hear LHutchin's comments. Are buyers really now looking for standard cars. Perhaps as they become classics it is all about OEM - ????

Pip ;)

For me the car would need to be an investment as well as a toy

Guess that OEM is best for keeping value of the car?

ultimately , the more collectable the CSL becomes , the future owners ( collectors) will want stock spec . Same with Porsche.


E30M3's .. higher value in factory spec ?

billyboysm3 15-10-2014 03:16 PM

As an investment I think you would want new CSL suspension and new bushes all round as Id say no matter what miles they would of seen better days.

AP's are almost "stock", or should have been.

LHutchin 29-05-2015 08:27 PM

Just wondering, did anyone on here end up buying this?
