How rare/desirable are the "no options" CSL ?

[titan]

ie no aircon/radio etc. Highly sought after or do people value aircon in their life far more ?

[Dan_csl]

We were only having this discussion the other day, they will probably become more desirable in time but these days people do tend to want abit more from spending the best part of 30k which I can understand.

[shimmy]

id not miss any of the options i have except aircon - some of the summer days and euro trips would have been a bit pikey without it and even on track it can be a great benefit especially if you have a sweaty fat bloke next to you :thumbs:

I think it depends a lot on how and why you have it?

For me, as an Only car for most of my ownership I wanted AC and Xenon's especially. Have really become reliant on the PDC's too now, so much so that I forget the Mrs Golf doesn't have them and I've almost clocked a bollard or two.

The other options, Floor Mats, Smokers package, Rain sensor, comfort screen I could easily life without. Despite the only option mine not having being the Rain Sensor, funny, I know when it's raining.

If its a track only car then yeah, just AC I would think.

Non rain sensing wipers are good when you have them, then use a car without them.
Its a pita without them,

yep all bollocks really, you buy what you want and need, there will be of course the very very small minority who want the pikey spec, but they will never actually drive them, just try and make money on it, so best avoid those museum ones as they will break down anyway due to the fact they have never been driven properly :hahaha:

Unless you just want to sit and look at it

suit those who like it hot and sticky!!!

We have become acustomised to minimum standards these days and A/C and stereo are considered as standard so without these the car will by nature be less desireable and possibly definitely count a good number out.
The other options Xenons, PDC, rain sensors etc are probably nice but would not be a deal breaker like the A/C & Stereo IMO.
It has been said before that in some ways the 'pikey' few are the true lightweights but IMO as the options were no-cost extras then cannot see these getting to the same values as equivalent car fitted with all the kit and will always be even more difficult to sell on.
Still in my case any CSL would be better than no CSL at all :banghead:

I can't imagine drive my black CSL in Malaga (South of Spain) these days, with 43º C without having Air Condition

[TANKSLAPPER]

ie no aircon/radio etc

Normal they are BMW press cars and released early in the build period.

I would buy one if I was going to track it. The 1385 kg car was with no extra fitted.

When I finally get round to looking for one with the premise of walking away with the keys, minimum I want is climate control and stereo.
