Looking for a CSL....

[Minto]

Hi guys
New member here.
Have recently sold my fairly extensively modified e46 M3 and moved to a 911 turbo, but find myself missing the e46 for some reason. I wouldn't buy another regular one but could be tempted with the CSL. Upon searching I can barely find any for sale anywhere! Bar a couple of high milers and mega overpriced ones. Is it just the time of year? Or is everyone holding onto them as they are going up in price? Seems a shame for such a great car not to be used to it's potential(if that's what some people are doing with them)
If anyone knows of any nice examples for sale, or possibly coming up for sale I would be very interested to hear about it. Preferably in SB.
Even better, if someone is looking to p/x up to a 911 turbo we can talk too. :-D

Welcome to the mad house, as for a nice SB one contact (PM) Mark CSL on this register his is for sale still I think.

Hi Minto,

I'm in the same boat (searching that is, not the 911 Turbo). Some have been available but they tend to appear and then sell very quickly if they are good examples. Good luck in your search, and any details on the 911 Turbo?

Hello Minto, welcome to CSL Ville!

Nothing wrong with a high miler, just means the wheels have turned a bit more often - it's been used!
More important is the service history - it's provenance, there are many low milers that suffer from neglect, don't use it so why service it - is the wrong mentality, particularly when it comes to obtaining an extended Warranty.:thumbs:

[Minto]

Thanks for the welcome guys.

I do agree with you about mileage, I just have a soft spot for low mileage cars.

Here's the 911 for anyone interested....


56 plate. 27000 miles. 6months tax, 12months MOT, brand new rear tyres, sports chrono, 10 months OPC warranty remaining which is fully transferrable to new owner through a private sale.

Follow the above and what ever you do don't be tempted to mod your csl(it's expensive)....something I have never been accused of!!:wink:

Who's telling porkies? :hahaha: That signature is a dead giveaway! :whistle:

[Minto]

That's my problem. I'm a modder at heart, would love to mod the 911 but that would be fortunes!
Maybe a CSL with coilovers and a set of AP's would keep me happy.....for a while.
I definitely miss the rear wheel drive.

For shopping list see above, no engine enhancements yet!
Can't wait to see the wide bodied version of Tino's steed! :hahaha:

If it was a GT3 RS I may be persuaded but not for a turbo :smokin:

why are you so worried about high mileage cars? They have had an easy life on mway

its the 50-60k milers with lots of stone chips, new diffs and gearboxes i would be more worries about.

change the brakes on a csl and it wants for nothing else.

[derek]

Go on condition and history, not mileage as it doesn't reflect how good a car seen some lower mileage car than mine I wouldn't touch with a barge pole.

I do like the 911 always wanted one, would need to be a modified one that can eat GTR's for me.

How can a car thats had a new gearbox or diff be a bad thing ?

Also a 100,000 miles on a motorway or not is a 100,000 miles on every component of the car i dont understand your thinking


Buy on condition and service history :-D
