Wanted CSL <30k miles - WTF?

Pip1968 · 13-01-2011, 12:17 PM

Just trying to stimulate some conversation but why do most people want a sub 30,000 mile CSL? The car is now between six and seven years old which means it would have to average only 5,000 or so miles a year. I cannot imagine there are that many sub 30s left. I say that even though mine has 28,500 on the clock but still......

Any options to treat it like a lady - as long as she's nicely buffed and all that? Or, needs attention from time to time, but good to have around, etc...

Really dont know but guess it's the old low usage / warranty /re-sale value thing.
My stipulation while looking for mine was that it had to have OVER 50K on it. Having watched the market for about a year prior to purchase i could see a bit of a price drop on ones that were over this mileage and as i had every intention of using the car fairly regular then thought it best to let someone else take the hit.

Bought mine in August with 25k miles on it and have only managed to put on a further 2.5k since then despite overseas work commitments. Guess it falls into the sub 30k "Garage Queen" category then!

Bought mine at 21k miles, but that was 4.5years ago.

It's now at 55k miles but I'm conscious that it's creeping up and so i've backed off using it too much for going to work.

I wouldn't worry. You only live once. As long as you look after it, enjoy it.
