Only 1 CSL for sale at the moment

[LHutchin]

Does anyone know that car?

It's high on owners but mileage seems ok and GP cars are reputable aren't they?

It was with them for less money a few months ago so the buyer is making a bit but hey ho

Mr Sagman's car

Agreed Mike.

30K(£) csl's are no longer available.

At long last our loyalty to the CSL is now paying off.

10 years from now any CSL will not be exchanging hands for anything south of 60K(£).

There is one on eBay now at £30k so they are available but yes, I fully agree they are desirable cars.

They should only increase in value unless the economy takes a wobble.

The BP04 car has come up for sale three times in the last few months. Once at 63500, then 64000 now 64500. Not sure what is going on but I wouldn't buy it on this basis.

Mr S sold the car with 63,500, it then moved from Merseyside to down South with GP Cars in Hertfordshire, who advertised the car reading 64,000, now advertised by the current owner in Somerset at 64,500.

Each sale has increased not only the mileage but also the asking price, 5K in 6 months isn't to be sniffed at

[Diamondgeezer]

Thanks guys I'm really looking forward to getting it looking its best again (andyk old car) so it's having the boot floor and a few other bits done at the moment
Can't say enough good things about Bartletts
From there initial inspection to taking on the work they've been a wealth of knowlage and help

then I'm sending it to the body shop for some work at the same time sending carbon splitters and rear diffuser to mark for a refurb

Rear view mirror and steering wheel also need sorting

Wheels are off to Lepsons and will be fitted with a new set of cups

Who knows I might even get a chance to drive it :-D

Well done mate,enjoy :thumbs:

Good work DG !

Sounds like you are doing all the things to make it A1 too, nice.

The thing about the CSL is that when you scratch your head and ask yourself what the next logical step up is, the answer inevitably ends up being a GT3 or Even GT3 RS. The Renault Trophy series or JCW Minis just don't cut it so GT3 it is. Trouble is, GT3s are around double the price of a good CSL and that probably is a leap too far for the majority of CSL owners. The CSL has it's niche.

Even if GT3 prices slump a little there will remain a band of buyers that can stretch to a £40K toy but not an £80K toy. It's these buyers who will push values up.

All of the above being said the CSL is an old car now and there are plenty of people who will be put off with this. Owning and running a 13 year old car comes with it's own set of challenges and plenty of people won't entertain doing any sort of DIY. This aspect will shrink the pool of potential buyers.

I'm starting to ramble now.

All I know is that the couple who were camping next to us at Le Mans remarked on how many people had doubled back to have a squint around the CSL over the weekend. 13 years on they obviously still draw attention.

Your last paragraph says it all. The E46 CSL is soon to join the top step with the E9 & E30. "Soon" being the next decade.
