Does anyone know of this car and/or its history. Planning to give them a call tomorrow, but any information from here would be great.

Thanks, :beer:

Don't know the car but there is no such thing as front parking sensors on a CSL

Pricey for mileage, but AUC good

Buy on condition & service history

Cheers Azrael, agree with you on price. In comparison, per olly22n's purchase a few weeks back which I am sure was in great condition (46k miles, £25.5k incl. 2yr warranty), this one is very pricey.

re: front sensors, was being lazy last night and just copy/pasted the spec from the ad. I assume BMW don't have the option to just include rear sensors whichever way they construct the advert.

I am no CSL expert, but bar a grubby steering wheel, mine seems to be in superb condition.

I suspect that I caught them at the end of quarter and needing a quick sale (it was one of the conditions of them accepting my offer was that it was paid for before end of Aug).

I have no problem with prices being higher though!

good luck with your search!

[HFLagos]

Cheers olly. I agree, I think you got a great deal and the 2yr warranty makes it even better !!!

I also have no problem with prices increasing, though I believe my friend would like to buy before prices do go up too much!

hey olly - out of interest what did the dealership you purchased your CSL from have it listed for?

Seems like there is a huge margin slapped on to CSLs from dealerships!

+1. Don't mean to state the obvious but things like discs/pads, tyres, sevice I I, etc can run in to thousands.

[olly22n]

To add:

Mine had a Insp 2 5k ago, virtually new PS2's all round and the ap's discs and pads have plenty of meat left.

no way is it worth the £30K unless there is £5k in the boot.

I think yours was very cheap tbh

Surprised it hung around as long as it did!

From your post above it sounds like you got an even better deal!


997 posts is that a sign :-D

HFlagos - I hope you don't mind but I called the dealer up to find out more as I too am looking for a SG CSL.

I'm a little worried about the gap from 2006-2010 - not sure what to make of it.

Anyone else have thoughts on this?

here is the Service History

It looks right on services and mileage, but it didn't do a lot of miles over 4 years.There are plenty of garage queens out there though...

Did it have a time-based brake fluid change in there somewhere as well ? Try and HPI check to see if it that gives you more data ?

Price looks not far off, as CSL prices seem to be rising now :thumbs:
