Price Guide 2013?

[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!

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

IMO that would dramatically effect the residual value

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!

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

Apart from the ones in the sunvisor

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.

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
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.

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.
