Hello,
My first post here, spent a good deal of time reading various posts today. To get to the nitty-gritty.... I have the opportunity to buy a sub 10k mileage CSL from a friend of a friend. The car is in excellent condition though it does have... a massive stereo system installed in the boot... we are talking amps and a sub along with a "slide out" head unit up front. I am deadly serious, the original owner was premier league footballer. The gorgeous door cards are untouched thankfully. My feelings are if I purchase this, to revert it back to factory spec, my question is how difficult and costly this would be? Can OEM stereos, or blanks (need to find out how it was spec'd originally as current owner inherited these additions from original owner) be easily found and at what cost? Would also need some new boot lining as the amps are screwed to this. Other than that the car drives immaculately and bodywork is in mint condition with no chips in the black paint. There is some cosmetic "rust" on the underside that will need cleaning up, but the car is essentially mint... with a stupid stereo installed. Anyway... I am waffling on now. If anyone can clue me in on whether the parts mentioned are easily obtainable and what value you would estimate this vehicle to be worth I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance and I look forward to (hopefully) becoming a member of the CSL club in the near future. Chef Last edited by Chefchenko; 09-05-2016 at 08:12 PM. |

Welcome to the mad house and good luck with your purchase, as for value prices are all over the place, sure certain members will be able to tell you what parts are and availability, and price will be what ever your are willing to go to and what the owner will accept.

Chefchenko Really hard to give an opinion given that you've not mentioned the asking price of the car , sub 10K cars are purely for investment. From your description the cost of returning the car to oem wouldn't be to expensive. As Craig says in previous post csl values are in a state of flux at the moment with the bulk of cars currently for sale not shifting. |

Neither party is any immediate rush to buy/sell so maybe I'll sit on it until the summer arrives and see where consensus is heading then. Seems like prices have topped out and taking a bit of a breather? |

One or two owner cars, 1000 miles or 20,000 miles on the clock,owned for ten years plus . for me' makes no sense as far as investments go, as they cost 60k In the first place. plus insurance,storage annual survive costs etc, also never had the pleasure in driving them,just sat in a garage . Return on £60.000 for me be better off in bank . How many have actually sold at this price ?
