Do you think i'd get £45k for my CSL?

[MCSL]

Sat at my computer bored, cup of coffee, scanning Pistonheads classifieds

So, do i sell up now and look for a GT3 (probably gen1 ClubSport if i can find a MINT low-mileage example with Porsche warranty) or keep the CSL?

31.5k miles
4 previous owners
FULL BMW SH (7 BMW stamps in total including pre-delivery check and running in service at 1240)
BMW warranty
No modifications - 100% original

don't really want to sell unless I'm definitely going to replace it with a GT3 - nothing else atm would get me out of my CSL. Tempted to hold with the CSL and wait to see if GT3 prices drop a little. Or do i just keep the CSL and forget the GT3 (had one before (gen2) but had to sell to release some cash)

Try it.

Simple answer is YES. Market is red hot for cars like this. Only advertise if you really want to sell tho as it will definitely sell.

I wouldn't advertise it for less than 45k. You may have to settle for slightly less. IIRC Hexagon sold a 27000 mile SG car (which was in lovely condition for. ~45k)within the last couple of months.
Will you regret selling the CSL? Maybe. The 997.1 is a very different proposition, in my opinion it's less engaging than the CSL partly due to the damping. That aid the GT3 is a very quick accomplished piece of kit. A 996 GT3 CS would give you greater levels of engagement - it's more of a raw experience. The 996 feels more alive at all speeds whereas the 997 is so accomplished you have to be seriously pressing on before it starts to feel alive.
A difficult decision.

It's a bit ugly though is the 996. I couldn't swap the CSL for one. It's not just about driving the car for me - i like to take a beer into the garage some nights and make sure she's still there... if you know what i mean

I've had a 997.2 GT3 before so know what i'd be getting myself into. 7.1 is near as dammit as good (for me), and tbh i don't drive them hard enough to notice the extra 10-15% improvement of the 7.2.

A bigger garage and deeper pockets is what i really need though! I might take some photo's of CSL when i get the chance and try it at £45k.

Cheers all for replies

I'd be interested to see what happens at £45. I've owned mine for 8 years and she is on 31000 miles. All the stamps, warranty etc etc.

Now the kids are at private school, it might just be handy for fees should I need to raise some funds one day.

Good luck i think you will need it

[CraigMillwardCroft]

would be interesting to see what you get as mine only has 21k on it

Privately I think 45K is optimistic.

Offer £42K, take bids no less than £38K
