To sell or to hold on - CSL values

[cslsuperfan]

A car is worth what anyone is willing to pay.

A mint CSL will change hands without even being advertised on the forum.

If I still had a CSL I would be driving it everyday rather than keeping it on charge in the garage.

THEY ARE F**KING AWESOME CARS and even at todays prices you cannot buy anything like it.

Agree 100% Billy, especially keeping the CSL on charge in the garage instead of driving her.

Just preserving the car for its next owner.

trouble is, judging a cars value on it's speed or style of interior or even he badge isnt necessarily the best way to judge its value. the older they get, the less all that matters

ive no idea if prices will crash or not but what i do know is there are very few recent cars that have limited numbers and stick in the memory and desire of so many previous owners way after they have managed to go through a whole list of porsches, ferraris, etc. That sort of following sticks and grows as word develops. Im willing to bet that the CSL becomes the most sought after and valuable production car ever made by BMW loing after the F80 is used as a taxi, the 997turbo is the fav or every Luton bad boy and the E30 has rusted into the ground

Yup, agree. EVO Mag issue 219 has an article on the E46 M3 CS, still highly regarded and given 5 stars after all this time.

I've had an E30 m3 Evo I, porsche 993 c2 with modded suspension and exhaust, a porsche 964 with a 3.8L engine. None of the cars above matches the CSL in terms of handling, balance and speed. All the above had their merits, but what happened was, I sold the CSL in between owning the porkers, and bought the CSL back. And now Matilda is in showroom condition. Sometimes I look to see what I could replace her with, but there is nothing out there that won't feel mass produced and with rarity kudos of the CSL. As long as there are petrol heads, the CSL will always be regarded as one of the greats. All in my humble opinion off course.
