Default what would you sell your car for?

On the back of the thread on the current market, as far as I can see every car is for sale. With the likes of Rowan Atkinson selling his F1 as the price has gone so high (I note he still has his NSX though), what amount of money would tempt you to sell? Some of you guys have owned your cars for years and will be sitting on a profit, but what do you buy with the money as not much compares at this price level? I only bought mine a few months ago but I really like it. That said there about 100 other cars I also like. I'll start the ball rolling. I will split it in to two lists as I expect the black ones will be cheaper as they aren't quite as quick.

Fast SG cars.

MC 71k miles. £39k and you get two sets of wheels and tyres.

Slightly slower black cars.

That is the spirit, it is about what you would take now, not what you would advertise for. I have heard many times of buyers just approaching owners and offering a price which is then accepted even though the car wasn't for sale. I will edit these replies to a sensible format when I am not on my phone.
Keep it real though guys, for this to be real fun it must be a sensible price that if somebody offered you would take, but if they offered you a penny less you wouldn't take. I would start a thread on suitable alternatives but I don't know any, perhaps that is a good reason to start one.

£80k might tempt me. Had it for nearly 9 years & no intention to sell.

Because of our ridiculous tax system, I wouldn't consider anything lower than £90K. Before you all crucify me, let me remind you that a new M4 costs £150K here.

As someone quite rightly said on a thread recently it needs all CSL's to be in more secure hands which I think is slowly happening. Seeing 55/65k mile cars selling for £32/35k needs to end. I believe this will be a thing of the past soon. Personally I wouldn't sell either of mine for less than £45k, they will be worth much more in time. Fuck the value for now and enjoy it!!!!! I would however consider a swap for a good E30 M3 for one of the CSL's or possibly an E34 M5 but that is all about desire and not money.

Ps the only reason I could consider a swap is because I would still have a CSL. It is by far the best car I have ever driven, I bloody love it. Wouldn't mind a 997 GT3 though ;-).
