Does anyone know this one too: VU04LUZ

HFLagos · 14-09-2011, 12:31 AM

A friend is interested in buying a CSL, preferably in SG like mine as he is fully aware they are the faster ones

Cotswold Hereford have a CSL with this plate VU04 LUZ up for sale at £29,950 (!) :

Registered June 2004
41,775 miles
Automatic Air Conditioning
BMW Business RDS
Floor mats. velour
Park Distance Control (PDC). front and r
Rain sensor with auto. headlight activat
Single-Disc CD Player
Windscreen with green shade band
Xenon headlights

Does anyone know of this car and/or its history. Planning to give them a call tomorrow, but any information from here would be great.

Thanks,

ps - here is a link to their AUC page, can't get a direct link: http://www.cotswoldherefordbmw.co.uk/approved-used-bmw/

Don't know the car but there is no such thing as front parking sensors on a CSL

Pricey for mileage, but AUC good

Buy on condition & service history

Cheers Azrael, agree with you on price. In comparison, per olly22n's purchase a few weeks back which I am sure was in great condition (46k miles, £25.5k incl. 2yr warranty), this one is very pricey.

re: front sensors, was being lazy last night and just copy/pasted the spec from the ad. I assume BMW don't have the option to just include rear sensors whichever way they construct the advert.

I am no CSL expert, but bar a grubby steering wheel, mine seems to be in superb condition.

I suspect that I caught them at the end of quarter and needing a quick sale (it was one of the conditions of them accepting my offer was that it was paid for before end of Aug).

I have no problem with prices being higher though!

good luck with your search!

Cheers olly. I agree, I think you got a great deal and the 2yr warranty makes it even better !!!

I also have no problem with prices increasing, though I believe my friend would like to buy before prices do go up too much!

hey olly - out of interest what did the dealership you purchased your CSL from have it listed for?

Seems like there is a huge margin slapped on to CSLs from dealerships!

+1. Don't mean to state the obvious but things like discs/pads, tyres, sevice I I, etc can run in to thousands.

To add:

Mine had a Insp 2 5k ago, virtually new PS2's all round and the ap's discs and pads have plenty of meat left.

no way is it worth the £30K unless there is £5k in the boot.
