2003 2004 CSL Values
Hello Folks,
I am in the market for a CSL and have been researching the values of these cars. Only one article written a year ago...... I cannot seem to find a guide (Haggertys) etc.... to determine what to expect to pay... A clean low mile car, 20k miles or under.... I found a few for sale but high miles and right hand models..... Any thoughts or guidance on where to determine value? Thanks in advance.... If anyone has sold one recently, low miles would you share your price range... Regards, George Last edited by GeorgeM; 02-11-2016 at 03:40 PM. Reason: Additional comment |

If it is a LHD one you are after, they tend to be even more than RHD models.
20k mile examples tend to be valued at £75k to £85k in RHD (there was a 10ker that went for £100k a few months ago), and well over 100k Euros for a similar mileage LHD example.

How come LHD models are significantly higher in price?
The CSL is one car I just can't get a grasp on for values. So many examples that appear to be in great condition just sit for a long time. One particular car I've been interested in has been for sale for nearly a year and the price has remained the same over that time. |

Sellers aren't going to give away an appreciating vehicle whatever the mileage.
You need to balance your wants and budget. Some get very attached to their cars and wouldn't sell for any price. If you want a low mileage garage queen then expect big prices. There are cars out there with higher mileage that get dismissed without a viewing. Service history is important but doesn't mean the car has been trouble free. These cars won't appear for sale on your doorstep, you must be prepared to travel. |

Thank you for some insight.... I called a local classic appraiser also and he said he didnt have a clue...... I did happen to locate a LHD with 17,000 miles.... Just trying to get a feel for its current value.... He was asking $120,000 US but I think it can be purchased for less.....

I could get a RHD car optioned the way I want, but not sure I want a RHD car. I feel the novelty would wear off...but for several thousand off maybe it's worth it?? |

If you do a quick search on this forum, you will find links of LHD cars that have come up for sale and the prices they are asking are often 10-20% higher than the equivalent RHD cars. I think it is purely a case of supply and demand. There is a higher demand for LHD cars (due to more countries driving on the right than the left), and due to the limited production run of these cars (only 823 LHD / 535 RHD, where 422 came to the UK, so a glut of CSLs by comparison to the rest of the world), which means globally there were 936 cars to fighter over - obviously significantly less now that the car is in excess of ten years old where several would have been lost in accidents), so due to this scarcity you get one of two scenarios - when cars do come up for sale, they are either priced extremely high because (especially in Europe), where the cars have a bit of a cult following or if they are in a country that doesn't really know what one is (there was one from the middle-east recently that seemed to be priced very low), a bargain can be had.

Normally cars are depreciating so dealers have to discount to maintain margins and/or shift stock, with a car that's rare/ appreciating, the actual value should catch up with the list price at some point. (in theory) Personally never paid too much attention to spec, think condition is more important. My view is that while you look for the 'perfect car', values may be on the up. Better to spend the money you saved buying the car on the car and be able to use it meantime  Hope you find what you are after. Brilliant cars! Can't see me selling mine
