Sl65 amg, possible csl sale

Hankcharlie · 05-01-2014, 12:55 AM

Hi gents, looking for opinions/advice. I have a 2004 silver grey 24k mile csl and I have come across an sl65 amg(v12 biturbo&#128525

as good as new. The dealer is saying it's sold pending finance approval but as he says nothing is sold til the money is in the bank. I love the csl and wasn't even thinking of selling but this car caught my eye. It's a two owner 10k miler from 2004 and can be had for one seventh of its original price. The opportunities to drive the csl enthusiastically are few and far between here in Ireland and there's only one track which is a fair drive from where I live. I have never used it anyway. I just think the idea of a nice comfortable cruiser with monumental torque and convertible for the summer may appeal. Not 100% sure(not even 50!) and it's probably gone anyway but if I were to change how much would I want to be asking for the csl in the uk? Makes more sense for me to export it if he doesn't offer me a good trade. All early days and most likely won't happen(which won't upset me too much) but just curious! Mine is an 04 with full service history, totally standard,new brake discs and pads around 4k ago, excellent condition. Xenons, air con, no parking sensors and it has a radio. Let me know what ye think gents. Thanks for your help and apologies for the long post! Ps- any merc/amg experts who could shed light on running costs/reliability of the sl? Has anyone driven one of these? My old fella had an e55 supercharged with the DMS treatment(540bhp) back in the day which went pretty hard!
Cheers,
Brian
