Hi,

I'll introduce myself, I'm Rob, been waiting approximately 6 years to be able to afford a CSL and now they're finally within my reach!

I've been lurking on here and mtorque for a couple of weeks now mugging up on as much info as I can about buying and maintaining.

Anyway, I've found a nice looking car on PH and wondered if anyone on here had owned it or knows it?

It sounds nice with an unlapsed BMW warranty, newish boots and an Inspection II just 3000 miles ago.

Hopefully it'll be a go-er and I'll be able to join you lot on some 'ring trips in the near future.....

I don't know that car mate, but as with any CSL, buy on condition. If the car don't feel right, walk away, there are plenty out there. If it does feel right, buy it, hit the sport button and don't look back!!

Good luck with your search mate.

Welcome Rob747

Like E46ACS said buy on condition most CSLs are in good condition but there are a few that are not .

Good luck

Thanks guys,

I will try and take a look at it over the weekend and let you know....

In the meantime, if anyone knows the car please give me the lowdown.

Good luck with your search. But never sell it. I made that mistake and will be back in one very soon!

As said above, the most important thing is condition, but also cosider mileage and number of owners that have a big impact on price.
Prices seem to range from £18 to £28k at the moment dependant on the above.
What is the spec of the one you are looking at?

Like above...Condition and history...owners for me was not an issue but condition and history was. Don't forget cars like this can change hands every 6 months to a year....Oh and welcome to the forum..
