Looking for a CSL....

Minto · 23-10-2013, 12:19 PM

Hi guys
New member here.
Have recently sold my fairly extensively modified e46 M3 and moved to a 911 turbo, but find myself missing the e46 for some reason. I wouldn't buy another regular one but could be tempted with the CSL. Upon searching I can barely find any for sale anywhere! Bar a couple of high milers and mega overpriced ones. Is it just the time of year? Or is everyone holding onto them as they are going up in price? Seems a shame for such a great car not to be used to it's potential(if that's what some people are doing with them)
If anyone knows of any nice examples for sale, or possibly coming up for sale I would be very interested to hear about it. Preferably in SB.
Even better, if someone is looking to p/x up to a 911 turbo we can talk too.

Hi Minto,

I'm in the same boat (searching that is, not the 911 Turbo). Some have been available but they tend to appear and then sell very quickly if they are good examples. Good luck in your search, and any details on the 911 Turbo?

Hello Minto, welcome to CSL Ville!

Nothing wrong with a high miler, just means the wheels have turned a bit more often - it's been used!
More important is the service history - it's provenance, there are many low milers that suffer from neglect, don't use it so why service it - is the wrong mentality, particularly when it comes to obtaining an extended Warranty.

Thanks for the welcome guys.

I do agree with you about mileage, I just have a soft spot for low mileage cars.

Here's the 911 for anyone interested....

56 plate. 27000 miles. 6months tax, 12months MOT, brand new rear tyres, sports chrono, 10 months OPC warranty remaining which is fully transferrable to new owner through a private sale.

Follow the above and what ever you do don't be tempted to mod your csl(it's expensive)....something I have never been accused of!!

Who's telling porkies?

That signature is a dead giveaway!

All this hoo-hah bodes well for when I put my 68k mile car for sale on here next week, which has a brand new gearbox, new VANOS and top end rebuild, bottom end rebuild completed last week, new subframe and God knows how many other new parts (all done by the excellent Gareth).

If it was a GT3 RS I may be persuaded but not for a turbo
