Cheap CSL...
Or is all not what it seems?
http://www.jamesglen.co.uk/used-cars...01108380470602 Given the lowish miles, I'd have thought this might be up for more non? Just being nosey like. |
Does seem a little low?
Would have thought it would be advertised a bit higher. |
Indeed.
Certainly looks clean. Hope prices aren't taking a dive! |
Doesn't seem too far out of whack to me... nearly £26K for a 50K miler.

Looks like a nice, clean car. Someone has spent a long time over those PIPES!
|
Seems priced about right to me.
The owner is on here and hasn't had it that long. He was enthusing about it in his posts... |
Oh well,
Maybe I'm just being overly optimistic with the values. |

Who? Looks a nice car, and well worded advert:thumbs: |
I saw this ad yesterday, thought it was about where they are for the miles, 6.5hr journey from HQ though.:smt090

What sort of mileage/price/spec are you looking for? |
Quote:
Road trips are ace :bigcry: |
Approx the £25K mark, (although there is a px to complicate matter, but this is currently advertised privately, hopefully will sell privately), 50-60K miles SG preferred but would not say no to CB, spec wise Climate/Xenon's/PDC etc would be nice, but flexible on this if the rest of the car/deal is right.

That is 6.5 hrs each way, it would need to be exactly as described to make that journey.......................................

If you think it's the right car 6.5 hours is nothing :smokin: |
Quote:
If it's what your after go for it. Call the guy, explain the situation with travel etc and tell him you are happy to place a "refundable" deposit on the car providing it is exactly as described. If he has nothing to hide he will agree. If he says no then walk away and find another. Oh the weekend trip to Snetterton seen over 1500miles on the CSL :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :hahaha: |

Don't be so lazy :hahaha: |

That's not too far to go for a car at all! And if you really can't face driving fly! That'll be about mid-way between either Glasgow or Edinburgh. I'm sure for a car of that value the dealer will pick you up? I've travelled easily those sort of distances for far lesser cars than a CSL in the past.
But that's nothing compared to the chap who flew all the way from Nigeria to buy this car from me here in Shropshire once...seriously! Scottish chap who turned up as agreed and then drove straight on to Aberdeen in it! http://www.bmwclassics.co.uk/840cisport02/index.html |

You post on PH as well don't you, as I've seen your website before, and that seems the most likely place. Is your CSL a keeper or just passing through ? |

Yes that's right! :thumbs: No, CSL is a keeper for the foreseeable future...I waited so long to get one! After nearly 30 years of unbroken BMW ownership I think I've finally got a collection together that I'm happy with. May be forced into splitting it up once kid's university costs kick in though! :bigcry: I've got one more older Mercedes project on the go at the moment (having just sold the black Mercedes 190E in the Gallery section of my website) which I'll probably end up keeping as my daily driver and then that's it me done with older cars. They just take too much time and effort for little or no return. I'll keep the 3 BMWs as garage queens and we've also got a couple of E39 Tourings as daily hacks as well. :thumbs: |

Been on a few PH outings with him. Decent bloke. |

Am prepared to travel, but of late whenever I have travelled any sort of distance the car has not been as described, infact some have been out and out dogs, and they are always at dealers. Last year looking for a little run around, £5-6K not massive money, spent probably 10-12hr travelling around looking at various cars everyone of them was tatty at best dog ruff at worst found one in the end 6 miles from home from a private seller. As I said previously, "That is 6.5 hrs each way, it would need to be exactly as described to make that journey......................................." |
I viewed 10 different CSLs before finding mine.

Many years ago my wife and I travelled a long way to view a 2002tii. We didn't have very much money at all back then and even the journey costs hurt us. I'd discussed the car with the vendor on the phone and he assured me there was only one scratch on the bonnet. When we got there the car was literally a shed! Loads of mouldy crap and parts stored inside the car which had a broken, open sunroof exposing everything to the elements. The exterior was just as awful. What he'd failed to mention was that the "small scratch on the bonnet" consisted of the inscription, in 12" high letters, actually spelt: CUNT I was inclined to agree with the author and just about managed to leave without punching the vendor's face in!:smt076 |

Would you go as far was Welwyn Garden City |
Picked up a RenaultSport Spider from Nutley Sports in East Sussex, a year later I was in Sussex again at Dream Machines for a TVR T350t and last year it was a trip to Nick Johnson in Oxfordshire for the CSL. The best part of each trip has been the drive back up to Morayshire, ( 500 miles + ) avoiding as much motorway as possible. :hahaha:
Mind you the worst bit was the wallet bashing on the fuel front, and looking like a tit driving the Spider (which has no roof what so ever ) through heavy rain as the sun went down on the M6 :banghead: Its just the way when you're looking for low volume motors, good luck with the hunting. ;) |

Ohhhhh...... I don't know, that could be pushing it just a little.:yawinkle: |

Hope you told him that you totally agreed with the authors sentiments before you left.

Hi Guys,
after viewing my web stats this week and noticed there was 102 views from the CSLreg I thought there must have been a thread like this lurking somewhere! I originally had the car advertised for more, but once I seen a GT3 in the spec I wanted, dropped it to 25785 and had at least 5 enquires within 48hrs one of which resulted in a sale soon after. It was advertised in total for less than two weeks. I will probably return at one point as they are superb cars, but just have to have a GT3 to get it out my system. I had a fair stash of cash saved up and it was gonig to end up being spent on the CSL! I'm murder like that! So, ended up investing (car I use that word with cars!?) it in a another car instead. Great Forum gents - one of the best and surprizingly busy for the small amount of CSLs there are out there. All the best, Stevie |
