CSL prices in Europe.

[chrisburns]

Been spending a little time on mobile.de recently and the prices of cars and CSL's especially seem to be a lot more expensive than in the UK.

Has this always been the way?

It's interesting - looking at Ferrar's out there. A 599GTO is 200k sterling in Italy and around £300k here. Higher CSL prices in Europe should keep residuals strong here.

Absolutely !
When in the UK a CSL costed 22-24k GBP, in CH you had to pay at least 70k CHF (at the time aprox. 55k GBP).

Right then, anyone know were I can buy a few LHD conversion kits? :-D

Fixed that for you. Market dictates the prices I guess but defo looks like they are a lot more money over there.

Only 10k!!!! There are so few of them it would be easy to push the price up (964RS springs to mind). Stop selling the great Cesil so cheap.

In that case anyone want to buy my 30,000 mile CSL in SG for £45,000, its not for sale but if it helps drive prices up it can be.

I think it depends how badly someone wants to sell the car.
If not, then you can raise the prices

All cars over here in Ireland are really cheap now, so much so we have guys coming over from the UK buying all the interesting metal for peanuts.

I don't think I would be able to sell the CSL here, it would have to go back to the UK or Europe.

As long as guys aren't desperate to sell, they should price their cars very strongly. I know when I was looking it was hard to find one that ticked all the boxes and I would have happily paid an extra few grand to buy the right car if I had to.

It's true.

I've been searching for the right car for a good few months now. I was thinking of getting a standard E46 M3 because I know the cars and was the relatively easy option for me. However the proces of M3's here on the continent are still holding very strongly in comparison to UK and Irish cars. I know it's the market that dictates the prices but when I see about a €5k - 6k difference in the cost of your average M3 between France and Ireland, it's hard to justify getting a left hooker out here.

But it seems to be the way with most cars (regardless of the marque), prices on the continent seem to be holding their value much better than in the UK and Ireland.

As for CSL prices, well that's a whole different level :banghead:
