Another rookie...

**ATLAET** · 05-06-2010, 08:34 AM

Hello all, I've been lurking for a few weeks trying to get a feel for what's what with the CSL.

I'm in love with the car, having viewed the one at Munich Legends, i'm drawn to black ones (as controversial as that might be!), but i'm learning that it's probably best not to be too set on one colour given the lack of cars around for sale!

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this car - http://pistonheads.com/sales/1733616.htm .

It looks pretty well-priced for a relatively low-mileage car, which the seller says is in good nick (of course!). Has anyone had a look at this, and do you have any thoughts?

Everyone i've emailed has been incredibly helpful, which just makes me want a CSL even more!

I am pretty sure this was up for sale 2-3 months ago when I was looking for mine - too far away from me though. It looks good from the advert. One minor point is that I don't think the monthly warranty is transferrable - ie.. you'd have to take out a new one yourself.

Welcome ATLAET

That seems a good car - one of the more expensive private sale prices though.

Welcome! Good luck with finding a suitable CSL

I carried on with the previous owners warranty, obviously with name change and card details, I would recommend same to anyone, especially the monthly plan !

I could not get to the car through the link although the BMW warranty is transferable. If it is an aftermarket one then I do not know. The car must be fairly new to Munich Legends as I was there in April and they had a sold SG one in the showroom and asked if I wanted to sell mine as low mileage ones were in short supply. It was the only one there at the time, unless it was out back. Perhaps it has been re-advertised.

Just looked at ML and it is SOLD!

Oh dear Pip ...someone pipped you to it then mate !

Are you interested in a really nice , race prepped one possibly?
Good spec all round, NOT mine in case you lot were thinking !

**ATLAET** · 08-06-2010, 11:21 PM

It's a shame that the ML car sold, but it seemed like a good one, so no real surprise.

Parva emailed a pretty short reply to the monster email I sent them, which was the final nail in the coffin to me taking a day off work to get to Chepstow to see the car.

I've emailed, but not heard from the lady selling this car - does anyone know her (Rachael Meakins?)? http://pistonheads.com/sales/1714767.htm It sounds like it might be a great one, but equally it might be a dog I suppose.

Continuing to be a horrible freeloader of the brains trust here, does anyone know http://pistonheads.com/sales/1711315.htm . This car's up at Nick Johnson, who I know has a mixed reputation, but i'd appreciate (hugely!) a PM if anyone has any thoughts they don't want to make public.

I hope that you don't mind me picking your collective knowledge, I hope that I can repay the favour when I own one (and thus hopefully know something!)
