Agree with what funtime has said, but i would take it with a pinch of salt. I've been to see many high mileage cars which have been "treated like a princess", "no expense spared", "drives like new". You then ask an owner if the bushes and suspension has been replaced @ 100k? No. All the majority do is service the car, and fix bits as they break. When you get near 100k, a lot of stuff needs replacing if you want a proper car, IMO. Depends if you just want to say you own a CSL, or want something deserving of the brand. Me? I'd rather spend more on a better, lower mileage car, which will be easier to sell.
