Looking to get a CSL!!

[Harryrs]

As above guys joined a year or so ago looking for a CSL but business took over and couldn't afford to get one! Wish I did now as the prices have hiked up :banghead:

Did end up purchasing a nice Escort Cosworth monte in JV but not as useable as a CSL I would say!

What would you guys recommend is a good budget for a decent CSL around the 50000 mile mark and looked after? Maybe a few upgrades such as AP's and KW's but not to fussed on them.

30k?

Cheers

Wish you the best of luck. Mine has 54k & I'm looking for offers over 100k. The classic car market has gone mad.

Tell me about it.. but the question is are they selling?

To be honest I'm not following the market closely. I know some makes have gone bonkers & the csl has gone up over the last few years, but I have no plans to sell. 8 years and loving every mile.

:hahaha::hahaha::hahaha: A bit of a wait then Peter .

I think £35,000 has to a figure to work around for something along the specification you are looking for. Give or take a couple of thousand either way. I must say that I have not looked at prices recently.

Hi Pip, hope you are well. Prepared to wait a long time as not planning to sell. Would only be interested in a gt3 but no luggage space to keep mrs happy.

Heard the other day a csl with 38k miles went for 45k

[Pip1968]

Wow, £45,000 that has to be a dealership - Hexagon? Those selling prices are pushing into Porsche GT3 territory or at least it was but they are climbing too and are still in short supply.

Prices seem to have stabilised a bit over the last few months.

There's been a 68k miler at £29,995 on Autotrader for for a while and Hexagon's cars never seem to change.

I noticed one with 75k became available at £30k in the last day or two but this looks pricey if the 68k one isn't shifting.

I'd have thought that £32-£35k will get you a car with 50,000 miles from a realistic private seller.

Not sure Hexagon are really helping the market with their artificially high prices.

[Harryrs]

Cheers guys, I've always wanted one since they have been released! Ideally wanting a grey one but I wouldn't mind a nice spec'd out black one! I can stretch for the right car but I think it's more a waiting game for the right car.

regarding prices,

it the car has had major warrenty work done like replacement engine , gearbox , diff ect ect ........

do you think this added value to the car ?

Yep, Hexagon.

So much can affect the price:

Service history, when is service II due?
Tyres
Subframe
Accident repair
Etc, etc

I looked at 5 before buying mine and that was 8 years ago. A one owner I looked at was a dog

Harry, 30K budget should be sufficient. Summer may not be the strongest time to buy. Late summer/autumn always sees a couple of A1 csl's for sale on the forum. Keep your powder dry and sit on your hands for a few months!!

don't be bound by mileage on the car, it means nothing unless the car stacks up. 70-100K Miles examples will be comparable to any garage queen relative to price.
