Cheap CSL...

[rstoughy]

You wont get sympathy from him, on the weekend he drove over 10 hours each way for the trackday at Snetterton!

If you think it's the right car 6.5 hours is nothing :smokin:

Exactly and on the Tuesday of the same week i picked up a car from Hull and drove the 7hrs one way back to Aberdeen.

If it's what your after go for it.
Call the guy, explain the situation with travel etc and tell him you are happy to place a "refundable" deposit on the car providing it is exactly as described.
If he has nothing to hide he will agree. If he says no then walk away and find another.

Oh the weekend trip to Snetterton seen over 1500miles on the CSL :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :hahaha:

Spot on, let's remember that these are rare cars so you will need to travel. It's not a run of the mill common as muck 3 series at the end of the day...

Don't be so lazy :hahaha:

That is 6.5 hrs each way, it would need to be exactly as described to make that journey.......................................

I live near Penzance in Cornwall and travelled to North Yorkshire to view one (7 hours each way) as well as several trips to and around the London/North London areas (6 hours each way).

In the end i bought my car from a private seller in North London. If it looks a good car then you have to make the effort

Approx the £25K mark, (although there is a px to complicate matter, but this is currently advertised privately, hopefully will sell privately), 50-60K miles SG preferred but would not say no to CB, spec wise Climate/Xenon's/PDC etc would be nice, but flexible on this if the rest of the car/deal is right.

Bealos car sounds perfect, I just need to get it polished!

65k miles

That's not too far to go for a car at all! And if you really can't face driving fly! That'll be about mid-way between either Glasgow or Edinburgh. I'm sure for a car of that value the dealer will pick you up? I've travelled easily those sort of distances for far lesser cars than a CSL in the past.

But that's nothing compared to the chap who flew all the way from Nigeria to buy this car from me here in Shropshire once...seriously! Scottish chap who turned up as agreed and then drove straight on to Aberdeen in it!

Amazing that any email with the word Nigeria in it actually gets through anyone's spam filter these days.

You post on PH as well don't you, as I've seen your website before, and that seems the most likely place. Is your CSL a keeper or just passing through ?

Well yes....that's what I thought when he sent the email from Nigeria initially...and then wanted my bank details to pay the deposit! LOL! But when I declined that he duly got his brother to send a U.K check from Aberdeen immediately and then turned up himself on the button!

Yes that's right! :thumbs:

No, CSL is a keeper for the foreseeable future...I waited so long to get one! After nearly 30 years of unbroken BMW ownership I think I've finally got a collection together that I'm happy with. May be forced into splitting it up once kid's university costs kick in though! :bigcry:

I've got one more older Mercedes project on the go at the moment (having just sold the black Mercedes 190E in the Gallery section of my website) which I'll probably end up keeping as my daily driver and then that's it me done with older cars. They just take too much time and effort for little or no return. I'll keep the 3 BMWs as garage queens and we've also got a couple of E39 Tourings as daily hacks as well.

Am prepared to travel, but of late whenever I have travelled any sort of distance the car has not been as described, infact some have been out and out dogs, and they are always at dealers.

Last year looking for a little run around, £5-6K not massive money, spent probably 10-12hr travelling around looking at various cars everyone of them was tatty at best dog ruff at worst found one in the end 6 miles from home from a private seller.

As I said previously,
"That is 6.5 hrs each way, it would need to be exactly as described to make that journey......................................."

[glendog74]

I viewed 10 different CSLs before finding mine.
