Good find Mark although it sounds like a Museum piece, definitely one for the Collectors. You wouldn't dare to actually drive it :bigcry:

[Yanto]

Good find. Be interested in price. Cash prob better in that than bank right now !

[bryce]

...definitely one for the Collectors.

I'd argue that. IMO it should be an optionless one if you really want to add it to a collection.

[Mark CSL]

There wont be many like this left and it will be good money but there is always people looking for this type of car.

It has been in storage and has still got its origanal cups on the backs will need replaced but this can be done

[Yanto]

Mark - PM me if price is south of £35K and I'll ask around.

Thanks but it is north of 35k :-D

[Yanto]

Thanks but it is north of 35k :-D

My advice is to hang onto it then for another 5 years.....wait for this shitty economy to pass.

[Mark CSL]

I am sure it will sell there are a lot of people out there with spare cash thats making fook all in the bank :hahaha::hahaha:

[Yanto]

Fair enough. Bookmark this thread for 2017 ;)

[83SY]

I'm very interested, long term investment for sure. Pm'ed Mark so watch this space :drool:

So true.

CSL prices have held up unbelievably well considering

[83SY]

What's this car going to be worth in 10years with sub 10k on it???? :119:

[shane@mbtech]

What's this car going to be worth in 10years with sub 10k on it???? :119:

Who knows. Take a guess. Its certainly a gamble.

I reckon a cheap house right now for 35k will be a better investment.

The CSL might rise slightly in value, but the house will too. But a 35k house will get you £350 a month too:smokin:

[bryce]

Where can you get a 35k house lawsy with 12% yield? That's defo better than in the bank.

[shane@mbtech]

I bought a house for 35k. I was going to rent it for £375 a month. Never did, didnt have time for tenants at that time.

Sold it 18 months later for £47k.

Plenty of cheap houses/flats about at the minute, in poor areas. Its just whether you are savvy enough to put up with poor tenants or not.

I used to collect debt from bad tenants for a few people who did'nt like getting there hands dirty, so it wouldnt bother me, whearas others would only go the "legal" route.

Depends if you can be bothered.

oop north, tends to be on estates, but you can get good yeilds

[azrael]

Probably purchase price today minus cost of carry ;)

And the guilt of having never really driven it as intended :gayfight:

Nothing near me for 35k & I hate scum bags so I couldn't deal with the hassle... you are right tho...:notworthy:

We lease my wifes hair/beauty salon so went down the road of buying that but expensive damp issues put a damp'ner on that (excuse the pun)

The legal ruote sucks, I just chuck them out if no payment, only had to do it once so far, wish there was some cheap property near me would get a couple more places. :whistle:

[_Nathan_]

GT3 better buy at that money, sub 45k CSLs changing hands for around £20-23k so can't see this being worth that much just because it hasn't been driven or has been clocked ;)

LHD, no options will be the one to have if you want to hang on to it for 15 years and make some money (and even then Shane is spot on with property being a better bet IMO). RHD cars compromised from the off, not as designers intended etc etc, so LHD will be the ones to collect, you only have to sit in a RHD one and realise the steering wheel is off to the left rather than near the centre line of the seat to see that it was an after thought.

Sub 45k CSL for 20k......:119: ....where ???

35k house's near me sadly don't exist :banghead:

House near my old house was rented out then lots of different people were turning up & all hours, few months later raided & wacky backy farm inside!!! House needed 1000's spending to repair damage.

[_Nathan_]

Well £23k before mods are sold and approx £20k after, good buy at that money. E9x better road car IMO and cheaper by the day so the market for CSL getting smaller and pressured by GT3 prices, ultimately GT3 is better car and looking at history I suspect will make money faster than a CSL too if you are that way inclined.

All IMO.

Agree

CSL is not an investment.

Its just a sensible buy that you can enjoy for a few yrs and not blow your brains out in depreciation.

Again...where was this car?? 45k CSL 20k.....:whistle:

GT3 may be a better car but 3 times the money & a good driver in a CSL would stay with a GT3... IMO

Feck, I've never noticed that before. Taking mine out for a rip tomorrow and that has now the potential to wreck my head. May need beer afterwards to get over it ;)

[Yanto]

I've not noticed either....perhaps left arm shorter than right ? :smokin:

[shane@mbtech]

It was one of the first things I noticed, seat, pedals and wheel are all slightly off line.

[bryce]

I thought all car were like that. Defo noticed in csl and it does bug, one arm bent more than other.

As a few above, no 35k houses up here and if there was I doubt you'd get that 12% yield.

[bryce]

Oh and the landlord vs tenant rights is complete bullshit. Best to bring the heavies. Lawsys got the right idea

The owner is on here, not my place to tell you who but there are a few I know of that have sold for very low 20s and that seems to me to be the point where they make sense.

3 times? 996 mk2 gt3 for 32k, 997 mk1 gt3 for 45k.

[_Nathan_]

Feck, I've never noticed that before. Taking mine out for a rip tomorrow and that has now the potential to wreck my head. May need beer afterwards to get over it ;)

Sorry if it annoys you, one of the best things about caging mine was being able to weld seat mounts further left so the wheel is actually in front of me :D

[Bounce]

I've not noticed either....perhaps left arm shorter than right ? :smokin:Cornish roots after all then Ian.:whistle:

I was talking about Nathan mate...

Fook all up with me mate - my CSL fits just peachy :hahaha:

996 bud, has to be a 997 & the fact its signed by Tim Harvey knocks 5k off straight away :119:

Haha, no worries! I took it out this morning and never even thought of it. I've been driving only BMs for last 12 years, so anything else just feels weird now ;)

Off on the beer anyway now!

You'll hate the new ones where they've actually given some thought to the RHD versions then ;)

[SMD]

I think NJ has just put this car for sale at £42.5k :smt120

[Yanto]

Just saw this....

Interesting suggestion that it would be worth £50k in 10 years !

Can think of better yields elsewhere if it doesn't make it after 5

[SMD]

If it was going to be worth £50k in 5 years i would have thought NJ would have kept it!!:)

[TommyR]

How could u by that and not drive it?
Like going to a strip club


Fantastic example

Pointless paying that much to drive it IMO.


Buy one for under £30k and have same enjoyment. If you put 10k on a 45k miler taking it to 55k. It might still be worth close to the price you paid. Put 10k on the 5k taking it to 15k miles and it's no longer worth 42.5k.

[Yanto]

here here

Really ?

I'd expect to make more than 7.5k off 42.5k in 5 years (taking into account maintenance and inflation)

[TommyR]

I was agreeing to the fact that NJ should keep it!!

[thatsprettyshady]

I've seen this car in the flesh and I've never seen a car so obviously pampered as this. Bonnet catches, door latches, seat runners all look like they have been used only a handful of times. What a car.

[spoonz]

I was agreeing to the fact that NJ should keep it!!

NJ wont keep it because he doesn't own a lot of the cars he sells, he is just selling on behalf of.

[shimmy]

Why would you wrap up cash on a car you can't use and only make say £2k a year on it (maybe) when he can buy another car with cash and make £2k a sale every 3-6 months

[shane@mbtech]

Why would you wrap up cash on a car you can't use and only make say £2k a year on it (maybe) when he can buy a note car with cash and make £2k a sale every 3-6 months

Exactly.

[Equinox]

Exactly.

Nick will be the first person to tell you he can make more money turning it over several times, keeping the cash tied in one car for long periods isnt such a smart thing to do if your a trader and the sole idea is turning cars over and over.

[3wheels3]

Haha, at least none of the central banksta's can print any csl's & people actually lend to Germany at -ve rates! Yer paper money is just that, paper! I tell ye when the time comes you may aswell stick it together to make bog roll...

[Straightsix]

I saw this advertisement on Pistonheads .... If this M3 CSL is as good as it should be all I can say is W O W :-) I did not think M3 CSLs like this existed in the UK ?

Definitely belongs to a collector


I am also surprised how few are left in UK ?

That doesn't happen very often on PH? Looks like the owner may have taken offense.

Apparently sold

One of the sponsors on M3 Cutters was asked to check the car over and do a PPI on this

[83SY]

For how much? :smokin:
