What milage would you buy a CSL at?

Jaw_F430 · 12-10-2008, 12:52 PM

Looking around at a few CSLs the common milage seems to be around 30-40K, from peoples experience does the car still feel "tight" like when it was new or do they feel loose and develop rattles etc?

There are a few with lower milage but the dealers are wanting £35,000 for them

How much would you guys think can be knocked off the asking price?

I just bought mine at the weekend with 41k on it - dealer wouldnt move on price as i was trading in, but did come up a grand on my old car - and would have come up £1500 had i tried alittle harder, doh!

How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking? Pistonheads or autotrader?

Need to go and view a couple next week I think

is that really a major problem of point to stop on..... I'm not shure, I know a 90000miles Csl and a 145000miles M3 (OMG engine) owned by hard and ruff drivers and they are still on track with the original engine without any problems.

until the car is correctly followed with Bmw dealer, oil change, and engin heatup respected, I wouldn't argu on a Csl even with 15 or 80000miles until the price is rating with car condition and millage

I wouldn't get hung up on mileage...after all these are BMW's so should take the mileage with ease. More important is condition and history...you could have a car with 15k on the clock thats been ranted within an inch of it's life or a 60k mike car thats been lovely cared for....history and condition I say.

I bought mine last June private with 46k on the clock. Had it serviced 2 months later with no issues. The car feels tight and is losening up nicely.

Got my eye on two at the moment, one has 38K on it for £27K and the other has 39K on it for £30K so condition and extended warranty will be the deciding factor

I am on my 3 CSL now and it has 54000 miles on it, and it is like new.
i had 1 with 19000 miles and if i cover the speedo up you would not know,
as long as it has been looked after and has the bmw warranty.

Miles dont mater if the price is right

Yeah, I've driven one with about 70,000 miles and it felt amazing! And I've had mine since 0 miles.
