Hence looking for a "used" one.

If I lose a few grand after I sell it then so be it. Life is short
How refreshing
Didn't think any new owners had that
Way of thinking

And on the assumption you'll maintain your csl in the manner it will be accustomed, you won't lose a penny.....better still values will be ever higher

It is I have lost friend unexpectedly and for that reason feel that a car is just a car.
I dropped my GSX parking it. It was perfect before that. The following week I dropped it on the other side. I laughed.
I have done 10000 miles on it since. I look after it and it gets serviced properly and fitted with the best tyres.

If it sells for a few hundred pounds less when the time comes to get rid of it then so be it.

I went to the silverstone classics a few years ago and parked up and left to see other cars and enjoy the day. I found it intriguing that some owners just sat and guarded their cars all day.

Just buy a E46 M3 be done save some $$$ and hope the supercar market will implode giving you an opportunity. Hey I'm waiting for P1, La-Ferrari and 918 for half their asking, but right now its FANTASY!

If I was you, I would go and have a look at Matt's, just to see what you can get for £45k and to see how it drove. I think you will find it will meet your requirements perfectly . Seems crazy to write a car off from considering on a misconception .

Totally agree Mike

Matt's car will fit the bill admirably
