To sell or to hold on - CSL values

[Matt21]

factory 'track biased' performance road car that can be used all year round and you can use to take the missus away for the weekend in .. GT3 or CSL ? Don't really think there are any other alternatives

CSL = £35K upwards ?

GT3 = £ 60K upwards ?

GT3 has priced itself out of range of a lot of buyers .. although same could be said of the CSL

Who knows wether pricing has levelled off. I'm pretty confident CSL's won't drop below £35K again as there is no alternative car to buy at that level. Will they continue to rise , I reckon they will , slowly , especially if the M2 CSL opens up interest again and people realise most modern cars 'lack' something the old ones had.

I agree with that.

Still hoping the Landy gets a huge CSLesque rise in price now It has been discontinued!:hahaha:

if the landy rockets up , that will be another one of my bad decisions to sell ... the other was my immaculate 996 turbo with 33K miles on that I sold to a trader for £23K so I could go out and buy my CSL ( buying the CSL made up for it ) ... also back in 2006 selling an immaculate 1967 Porsche 911 2.0 for £18K if only I'd kept it


On CSL pricing .. my CSL is 69.5K miles as we speak and FBMW history, but with a fair few owners. I reckon realistic price for mine if I was to sell it would be in the £38K-£42K range

Worth more than that, wouldn't take less than 45k

Mine is on the same mileage ish (68K)

Having it valued with a well respected dealer this week

If it's £38K-£42K I will have a cry :bigcry:

I don't think it will shoot up unfortunately for me! Right now it needs a new exhaust after it fell off offroading over Christmas (it out performed the 110s it was with!). Still love it!

Your CSL is worth way more than that. Don't think number of owners really matters.

offroading a Series 2A :thumbs:

It saw some moorland byways with me & that was it .. previous owner used on road only. Great things offroad , if somewhat agricultural

if as a collective we think its over £40K .. that's fine by me :thumbs:

No plans to sell anyway until someone can point me to a quick 4 seater that is fun and isn't going to depreciate I can't see one that fills this role.

[billyboysm3]

Stick it up for £60k

1M?

1M?

M5 Touring ?

[SSS_csl]

Stick it up for £45K :whistle:

And let me know 😊

[billyboysm3]

And let me know 😊

You needed to buy 5 years ago when a 30k miler was £27k

[Pip1968]

Stick it up for £60k, if it sells it sells, if not you haven't lost anything bar knowing its not going to fetch that kind of dollar.

I am with BillyBoysM3. At the end of the day your could always pull out at the last minute or just take the £60,000. I nearly bought W1TAK's CSL a few years ago (~2007) but he changed his mind and then sold it six months later.

At least it will give you a good idea if that sell price is acheiveable.

[Matt21]

Sound advice. Pick the Porker up in a month so will see how I get on with it first

If someone offered me £60k right here right now I think I would say no! Kind of proves that I don't really want to sell it!

See that Nick Johnson sold his 36,000 mile car fairly quickly which was advertised at £60,000

I don't know what's happening with prices atm. So much 'new' stuff is selling at premiums that were previously unheard of. I wonder if there's just too many people with too much money that are desperate to be part of it. The bubble will pop, but how it affects cars like the CSL, I don't know. Personally, and after owning one, I think they are starting to look expensive. Parts are limited, and engine problems are not rare. I bought mine for £32.5k (from memory) and thought it was worth the money at that (50% cost of a 997GT3). Same car today at £60k loses my feeling of value/worth. My money today would be on the 996/997 GT3 (non-RS).
