In Aberdeen and want to buy a CSL

The JC · 19-02-2013, 10:56 AM

Gentlemen,

I have recently been offered a position in Aberdeen with my employer, so will be moving from my home in Texas, USA. I currently have an e92 M3 and want to buy a CSL as it is the forbidden fruit back home.

I am currently in Aberdeen to get a feel for the place and if anyone knows of any CSLs for sale please let me know. I have been monitoring pistonheads and I am most interested in something around 40-60k miles as I'll be over here for about two - three years. Color does not matter, but I would definitely want one with A/C and a radio/CD player.

Thanks,

John

Thanks for the PMs gents. Hope to find one by the summer and need to sell my M3 back in Texas.

Congrats on the move. Clearly you've got your priorities in order if you are already hunting for a csl and planning to sell the e92. Any ideas of what the rules are like for bringing the csl back with you?

Honestly I had not even considered bringing it back. I was in the market for a 7.1 GT3 before being offered the position. When I heard, I figured it was a great opportunity to drive a car that I always wanted, but could never have in the states then sell it before moving back.

Maybe it is best that I introduce myself to the forum before proceeding. I am a Texas native working in the oil/gas industry since I graduated college. I currently own an '08 M3 that I bought in August of '08 with a tad over 3k miles. It now has 60k on it now and has served as my track car and daily driver in that time.

I am a diehard car guy and have made a number of important life decisions based around that. My previous cars include an e39 M5, a B5 S4 (w/RS4 turbos, assorted engine bits, suspension and BBK) and I co-owned a 996TT for two years.

I was recently offered a position in Aberdeen and figured that it would be the perfect time to own a car that I never had the chance to in the US. I have considered a 964 or 993 RS car, but they are more then I want to spend for what I want to do with the car. Based solely on convenience, a RS4 estate is still in the running, but a CSL is the clear leader at the moment. The proximity to some phenomenal roads and legendary tracks helped in my decision to move from Houston, Texas.

Thanks to all of you that have helped with information thus far. Hopefully it will not be long until I've got a CSL, however my current M3 may set a record for being one of the cheapest sold, non salvaged e92 M3s out there.

In fact, one of the board members has offered to let me come take a look at his car. I have yet to ever see a CSL in person, so I am very much looking forward to it.

Just want to say again, that I really appreciate the welcome and helpful information from members of this forum.
