If a CSL had a new engine fitted under warranty would it put you off buying it ?????

If so why ?

I dont know if any 1 has had an engine fitted in the CSL todate

No it wouldn't put me off at all aslong as it was done at a main dealer.

Replacement engines are a funny thing. To some, it is a big turn off, to others it's a Brucey Bonus due to the lower mileage.

As long as it had the "2nd" 1200 mile service, there should be no issue.

Not at all providing its been done correctly.

A big must have though would be the correct paperwork to show why / where and who had done it.

There was 1 for sale
it would not put me off as long as it was done with BMW

Wouldn't put me off but the price would need to reflect the engine change.

So it is worth more cash then

I would think it would not change the value but is a bonus to the new buyer
as the engine is new so very little miles

I think I would still buy it. It is a bonus really and as long as it was done under warranty

It should not change value Mark without a doubt, but unfortunatly it you see any for sale with new engine they do tend to be a little cheaper as jo public are usually wary about why even if the reason is genuine. Back in the distant past I purchased a Lotus Esprit from a main dealer which had a new engine....had no issues with the car but paid 6k less than ones with original engine and when I came to sell I sold for less than the going rate.
