How did you buy your CSL?

[shimmy]

another thread raised the issue and i thought id askthe question!

did you buy your CSL from a BMW dealer, Other dealer, Independant Car Trader, company car or private sale:smokin:

[Mark CSL]

All 3 of my CSLs were private sales you get a better deal and a better car
In my opinion

You need the cash to buy private and all the 3 cars i bought were on finance
so i paid the finance company the £ and what ever was left to the seller :thumbs:

Found mine at the Battersea CSL home, was a stray :clown:

Originally looked at one in a independent dealers in Coxheath. It was his son's who had bought it, but was a banker in the USA and wasn't using it. I am sure it had a different colour interior though, very strange. And the seat mounts were different. Like in this picture:




We didn't have the money to buy it then as it was £58k. We bought ours with 3,500k in June 04 for £45k from Ruxley BMW. Got £3k off the asking price of £48k.

Originally had a deposit on a new V8 S4 but when we saw the csl had come down to our price bracket, Audi can stuff their £1k deposit. The depreciation on the S4 is large in comparison to the csl.

Private, cash purchase form Jeff who is/was on this list ... found the Ad on "Pistonheads & then here, which in turn lead me to sign up to this Forum.

Other trader, I think I saw it on Autotrader which led me to their site, rang them and paid cash over the phone so bought it blind really!

Tracked mine down through couple of guys on Puregt.com .....

I bought mine from KEEEF aka Sambaman (he was the guy that had the stunning 993 GT2 in Audi Blue - was in Evo about 12 months ago) - Porsche nut who frequents PGT and PH. Prior to that, owned by Wallachie - also another poster on PGT...

Both top blokes, gave me loads of info on the car before purchase and real enthusiasts so I was comfortable that it was likely going to get a good example.

47K miles at purchase in Jun 2009, £25K paid.

Broadoak Ashford, BMW Main dealer. I got it for a steal, I thought anyway. Nearly 4 years ago (so 2 year old), £35.5K with only 17k miles on her.

as you know the price for a CSL in france is almost 50% more than in england. many reasons but it's a fact. So i looked everywhere to find the good one with fiew kilometers and a clear historic for a good prize, i took 2 times planes to see in deutschland 2 CSL wich was not as good as they seems on mobile.de a good site for find a car.
i started to be disappointed and finally i found mine CSL just 20 kms from my home. when i saw it just when the guy opened his box i knew it will be mine...splendid!
Kkilling detail, if it is a deutsch origin CSL, it's first owner was "marko martin" the driver rallyman...it can't be a bad car isn'it!:supz:

Sytner Sheffield, nearly bought from an independent garage (FA Ropers)but decided to go with the warranty. The one at FA Ropers was a very good car though, it was touch and go. I wonder if anyone on here bought it :whistle:

forgot to mention mine, bought in 2006 from autotrader/exchange and mart

got up one Saturday morning with nothing to do and ended up at the end of the day with a CSL from a petrolhead called Richard from Stratford-u-Avon

Saw him a few weeks later on a Don Palmer masterclass with his new Atom
