Wanted CSL <30k miles - WTF?

Got mine at 9K miles last year. Just watched the clock roll over 10K miles last month. I live in Hong Kong, there's not a whole lot of road to drive around here.

I'm getting paranoid about my milage now that it's a couple of thou off the big 6-0. However the car still has another 18 months warranty on it and with the exception of a leaky front calliper (yes I've still got the OEM brakes :gayfight it drives like a farkin dream.

I don't know whether to just drive it forever, or sell up and get a lower mileage one? I guess it's because I'm one of these twats who normally thinks that low mileage = good car, despite getting raped by a low mileage M5 that subsequently gave Trigger's broom a run for its money.

I'm on 49,000 miles, and only really drive it when I want to, not when I need to. Therefore, each extra mile is going to be an enjoyable mile. No interest in using it to just sit in traffic or go to the shops, as I think the car deserves better.

No BMW warranty and no plan to ever sell it, so mileage is just a number. Even if I won the lottery I'd probably still keep it, although it might get joined by a 993RS :smt055

Oh no it would have to be a Kermit Green, Orange or Riviera Blue 997 GT3 RS although I would have to take the 'GT3RS' decal off the wings.

Ah, sure if the numbers came up I'd probably have one of those too. And maybe an F40. And...

Actually, this thread probably isn't big enough for the list

[still no worries]

Track Queen :gayfight: :hahaha:

[EVLXGE]

Mines just about to click onto 39k. Cant see the mileage going up more than 6k a year. So I guess mine is a high mileage one :bigcry: :blalalala:

Couldnt give a stuff though, I v nearly bought one with 28k on but saved myself 3k going for this one. Came with AP's and with the money ive saved its paid for a supersprint and a new set of cups. Happy days.

[englebert]

I bought mine with 16k on the clock and put about 10k on it before selling.

I don't see what is difficult to work out. The reputation has increased over the years, whilst numbers have gone down on what was already a limited edition car. Normally, lower mileage will indicate better condition.

However, i'm looking for a higher miler one so i'm not suckered into being all precious again (for the record, i tracked my previous one regularly!).

[cslsuperfan]

englebert,

are you back in the market for a csl??? i thought you'd moved to a 4x4 chariot. ??:thumbs:

[englebert]

Yep, i want another! Just need to get rid of my 997

[Great Pretender]

What don't you like about it?

I fancied a 997 S but was worried I might find it a little dull.

[englebert]

Not enough character, so yeah, dull i guess. Sounds like an odd criticism, but almost too competent? PASM was great, but i never have gotten used to the lack of weight over the front. Also got tired of BMW wankers tailgating :hahaha:

[Great Pretender]

Fucking BMW drivers eh? :finga:
