I'd love to believe that 993 GT2's aren't worth £300-£500k, & that i'll be able to get in one for £100k.
Sadly, I'm dreaming.
Ever so slightly different when your talking a quarter of the price, it's not like I'm saying his high miler is worth 10k is it. 20k is a realistic price with the mileage. At 25k you might as well put another 5k ontop and get a car with half the miles. Depends on how quick you want to shift the car.

I would respectfully suggest you're possibly the last type of person most people on here would want owning one of these cars.....IMHO

Fair enough the csl is a car built for the track but at the same time it is a collectors car. It would be a crime to track a low mileage mint example if that's what you want to do then you might aswell buy a high miler to abuse

Low mileage examples are usually the worst in terms of their service history. Four such examples have been sold by BMW UK, every one of which was a press car (2 to go) which were taken to the limit around tracks in the interests of promoting the car. Deduced - all that glistens is not gold!

Don't worry about collectors, they already have theirs squirreled away, only 359 were ever road registered by the DVLA.

Infact I remember you from last year, I went to view two csls one of which you had already viewed in Essex which you thought was 'not a bad car' turns out after viewing the car it was another pile of crap and needed paint from front to back and someone had been cramming a wheelchair in the boot! So if your current one is half as 'clean' as the one in Essex I bet it's a corker
sod it I'll even find the pm's and put then on here before I get called a liar again by the other jumped up poster !

sure. not a bad car but needs wheels refurbing and one of the front tyres is cracked. so that needs doing as an 07 year tyre. other 3 seemed fine.

good low mileage car and new diff plus recent service.

kept outside but not driven much and owner dean seems very genuine. gets a bad back from the seats and wants to go E92 M3.

its up for 29k but has movement.

I went for the cheaper higher mileage one as I got it for sub 20k and I only do around 1000-1500 miles per year in a 3rd car so having that extra 10k in the bank is handy.

bit peppered around the rear arches down low which suggests it may have done some track work.

hope that helps NW

So seems my estimate of 20k isn't quite in dream land as you lot make out.
