Still looking

[Bounce]

I just need to be patient . The right car will come along soon :thumbs:

I got the first one I looked at,just couldn't wait for the right one.As long as its got a full service history and BMW warranty you can't go wrong really,I wouldn't worry about mileage.

I saw two in one day.......first a right old Ring slag, stone chipped and BLACK


Second one I saw was SG, mint paintwork, decision made.

yep, i hinted i'd sell mine and had pm's instantly! evlxge also had the same, with people happy to pay the full asking price ect. nick johnsons now out of csl stock, and the stock he had does'nt hang around!

now am i missing something, i personally think if prices were closer to 40k demand would still be there!

Same here, have had PMs through here and PH. Mine goes in for its sub frame with Elms next week, once it's back I'll decide what to do. CLK63 Black that I was thinking of going for is now indefinitely delayed, so I'm in no particular rush.

Surprised NJ's cars sold so quick, he hadn't even seen them yesterday and they're both now accounted for.... wow. In the For Sale section here he did clearly allude to the fact he is selling cars to overseas buyers now.

Surely owners of csl's know that they are in demand at the moment. Why would you sell to a dealer. A sub 10K mile car and a 29K mile car would have a lot of interest on here. Makes me wonder if they ever existed? Would be a great way of bolstering up the prices of higher mileage cars. Perhaps I'm just too cynical?

[73CSL]

In all seriousness, if anyone is thinking of selling , do please let me know

[KPNUTZ]

I did think the same tbh, given NJ won't be paying market value, it begs the question why would anyone do it when there are at least five cash buyers just on this site who I'm sure would pay the asking price!

Gladly I'm no longer one of them

I guess like most things there's owners out there who aren't really internet savvy and don't know the exact/true value of their cars. Some people are also too lazy/rich to bother about getting the max price and go through the hassle of selling it themselves and find it easier just to unload it to a dealer for a price they are happy with. Just my opinion.

Just think if Top Gear or Fifth Gear did some sort of 10 year homage on the show in May........ think of the prices then :-D I also have a 1963 VW splitscreen bus that I bought in 2000. Around 3 or 4 years later that fat tounged fcuker Jamie Oliver bought one and prices absolutely rocketed and never came back down......

Yeah, but a Top Gear homage usually involves it being dropped from a crane! Mind you that would help prices I suppose

One car less = rarity = prices go up :hahaha:

Just keep it. the cash you have invested is unlikely to be recovered at this stage.

[HFLagos]

Probably right!

Another issue is that I took my young son to look at the CLK63 Black Series at Romans the other day and he didn't like it, "I don't like it, it looks like gran's car"!!

He adores the CSL.

So banish the thought of selling the car till you buy the 991 GT3
