Hi, first post here so be gentle...

Been looking to get into a CSL for some time but have never quite been in the position to move quickly enought for the right one.

Anybody know any good examples for sale?

Saw this one on PH:

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/743293.htm

Anyone know it?

Cheers

Mark

Hi Mate

im sure someone on here will know , or know of someone that might do !

Just take your time , as there are some good ones out there , think actually there are more good ones than bad , due to the type of car , and owner of a CSL , as we are all bonkers

Good luck on your search , and shout if you have any Qs

Bloody hell!!! Another Mark and another one based in Scotland!!! :hahaha:

Welcome mate. :beer:

Don't know the car, but if it is as straight as the advert descirption says it is, that is a good buy, at a very good price.

Just a shame its in the wrong colour!! :whistle:

There is a couple for sale on here.........

Welcome to the mad house.
The car in question has been for sale for some time.
At that price I wonder why ?

Where in Scotland are you I live just outside harthill ?
If you need a look round a CSL give me a shout

That could be why it's a good price then if no air con....still seems a bit cheap though...have a look as if it's the car for you you should be able to even more dosh off the price. Good luck and welcpme to the forum. :thumbs:

Thanks for the advice guys. Good spot re air con... I noticed no pdc but imo the rear looks better for it. Pity it has a radio - it could have been one of them proper light ones! Looks like it has Xenons from the pics but no mention in ad.

Not 100% set on CSL but it's one of those I have had on the must own list for a while...

Im also looking to get my first CSL soon. I Cant wait. Just sorting my finances and looking for the right one. Ive also seen that one on pistonheads and it looks a good deal. I do prefer the SG colour tho, however ive never seen a CSL other than on pictures so i dont know which looks better on the road !!?

Ive a SG one.

Considered a SB (Saphire Black) because they do look good, very stealth, and following Mark to Knockhill, his looked the bollocks. Reason I didnt go for one was: no contrast with roof, or CF splitters, bitch to keep clean.

Went SG in the end cos its my fav colour for most cars, contrast with roof & splitters, easy to keep clean, and there's more depth to the colour. At sunset it looks amazing!

Oh, and SG is miles faster :whistle:

The car in question is mine. The only reason I am selling it is I fancy getting something completely different. A Bentley GT. If I had the space I would look to keep the csl because it is a fantastic car and still makes me smile when I drive it. I am sure I will miss it when it has gone.

looks a very good car and VERY well looked after!! look at all the servicing!

Has the AP's fitted worth about 2.5k and wheels so its a 26-27k car really.

best on the market i think.

dustyjustin
