Is your CSL a daily driver?

[kziaa77]

How many miles do you put on her?
Are you bothered about appreciation/depreciation?

Bought it to put a smile on my face when I go for a drive. That was nearly 9 years ago. Weekend toy, used for the odd golf day away during the week, occasional track day & trips away with the mrs.

Going to continue enjoying it the same way.

Prices remaining stable/increasing just happen to be a big bonus, which, is very nice, but nothing I expected. It's a car & 99.9% of all cars depreciate.

every day......every day

1. No not a daily driver. probably 4-6 outings per year, UK tracks and one euro/ring.
2. 3000-5000 per year.
3. No. Heavy modification and appreciation generally don't mix!

Not a daily
1000 a year
Bought as an Investment

Not an investment

bought because i can

Mine was a daily drive for about 2 years on standard suspension. Never an issue with it unless there was a passenger and I found myself making excuses for the ride and creaks/groans from the trim.

Once the Intrax went on it was resigned to occasional duty

I'll try again. The mrs says I never listen now it seems I don't answer the question. Maybe I should try politics.

On average 4500-5000 miles a year.

I'm trying not to think about appreciation/depreciation, but obviously at the moment it can't be avoided. I'm going to continue driving it as per my original thread.

What will be nice is when I retire & can no longer afford to run Cesil, or my funds have run out it may be worth a few bob. I'm not banking on it, as they say in the financial market:

Your original investment may go down.

I have had it 10 weeks and done 1000 miles. 500 of which were done this weekend. Not a daily, will provably do 2-3k per year. Not trying particularly to keep the miles down but I have a few cars and only do a total of about 12k miles per year.

Is there any one who still used a CSL as a daily driver

[Sailorbaz]

Not likely on here.

I don't use mine daily.

Last year I done about 300 miles

Owned it 9 years and done 35k miles, 1st couple of years it was my only car and was fine. Even used to transport fence post mix around one weekend, with no cardboard floor issues... :giggle:

Too special to use everyday.. Mine comes out on sunny days off. Have a new merc a180cdi company car for during the week.
