Doesn't sound too good mate - that wouldn't fill me with confidence about the car or Hexagon either.

I have to admit that in the past i have read about many instances of poor customer service experiences at Hexagon. I think their sales staff are well known to be dis-interested in what the customer wants and show minimal interest in lowering their already top-end of the market prices for often sub-standard prepped cars...

When buying a car like the CSL you are very right to be anal about car condition when looking at prospective purchases - in particular from main dealerships. There is simply no excuse in my book for a sub-standard car to be offered at a main dealer.

My advice would be to take your time and look elsewhere. There are plenty of very good private sale cars that come up for sale - many with full BMW warranty still running. Often those cars are known on this forum as they are owned by enthusiasts. They are of course also cheaper than the over-inflated dealership prices...

Just my 2p worth

Couldn't agree with you more. The csl is a v special car and clearly one for enthusiasts. Hexagon's lack of attention to detail or willingness to resolve genuine issues is seriously disapponting.

Just noticed Hexagon have increased the price to 31,995.

Assume they've now realised what it means to be an Approved Used Car.

If anyone else is considering buying from them I'd be very careful.

After a few delays due to being away for work, finally picked up my long-awaited CSL on friday. Cheeks beginning to hurt from grinning constantly for 72 hrs.

Will get some pics up during the week. Didn't find a black car, but the SG is totally growing on me and the car is absolutely immaculate / faultless.

The only negative so far is that it makes my 993 feel suddenly a lot less sharp!

I usually change cars too often, but this one is definitely a keeper...

Good to hear you have got a car and are enjoying it

I have only just got online after a few days away from the internet and i was going to say that i might be persuaded to sell my if the price was right.
