CSL Mileage...

csl9000000 · 30-07-2013, 01:18 PM

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.

Mine is at 66k now, the head gasket was done at 63k, But mine is running great.

HG replaced around 70k.

Car fine since.

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?

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.
