price ideas
Hi chaps,
my 125k mile CSL finally suffered big-end/rod failure and while I am undecided as to sell or restore a guy at the local garage has offered to buy it. It's a good on body / interior but far from pristine. right hand drive, not great history. pretty much due a clutch / gearbox refresh too. The guy is offering 24k EUR (I live in Germany). Any thoughts on what you'd expect the price to be? |

So that's abt £17k.
Not bad offer based on your description IMO |

I would bite his arm off mate!
If it were running id say it was worth £25k in the condition you mention But with the work you have listed that could run into many thousands

Fully agree - but I would try your luck with an honest advert here in the UK, given that it's RHD. Might be attractive to someone who can get big discounts on genuine parts (like me!!) / someone very adept at spannering... It could very easily live again as a track car.... HTH - Nick. |

Oh hey so I've just crapped my pants from reading that, particularly the "finally" bit. £17k isn't bad I suppose considering he's probably breaking it and you can't sell the engine if it's broken.

Also, I know we talk about "worth more in parts", but once you take out the big, valuable bits... (CF parts, Airbox, doors, bonnet, boot, seats etc.) I'd imagine it's a royal pain in the ass to realise cash on the rest.

Totally agree Yanto "Break your csl to realise 120 percent of the traditional sale route" is frankly a myth. Having heavily modified my cesil it's been a royal pain in the derriere selling the "attractive items". The open market typically dictates the real value of csl parts in my recent experience. |
