CSL Mileage...
Am hoping to push the button soon on my 3rd CSL.
Provided they have been maintained well is 70,000 miles something I should worry about or are they fine beyond this. Anyone have any experiences? Thanks |

Currently sitting on 73k.
I would not worry providing it has history. I've had to replace the head gasket @ 71k but thats really about it.

I'm on the lookout for a lo wish mileage CSL at the moment and this gasket problem is a worry. Is it something that's been cured on later examples?
I've also seen reference to floor problems. Does this indicate abuse/track day cars? |

jim
dont worry about the sub frame problems, most have been fixed now and if they havent dont buy it, mine has had a relatively easy life with no track action and it still cracked its not if its when ! regards to head gasgit how long is a peice of string ? if you are buying get one with full warrenty you would be mad not to as a small trip to the garage could be more than a year of payments ! saying that mine has been nothing but a pleasure to own, forget milage go with history and the way the car ia presented. you will know if its a stinker !!! i allways look at scuffs on the rear seats dont know why but if they are all scuffed up i think its a shed.
