So it is the Irish car late running in service no more miles than it was and originally sold for £35,000 ... Suddenly price jumps !!

Talk about me selling mine at the wrong time :banghead::banghead:

I blame Shimmy :thumbs:

Oh well you live and learn and I had 5 great years in mine and lost 6k and at the time I was happy.

Not sure I'd have another one as these prices are getting rather high following the price of Porsches lately.

At least my turbos holding it money.

Porsche is where I'm headed....eventually!!

Damn this recent price boom

18 months have seen 50K hikes on the 997RS!!!

I sold this little number fairly recently.
Its not a press car as far as I know and why would a press car be first registered late 2004, 18 months after launch!
I would think its around the £40-45000 mark

Seems odd its for sale again so quickly?

Maybe it was bought and to be used whilst it sells

The seller is a car collector as well as a dealer. We had a lengthy chat, and suffice to say he has some serious motors in his personal collection.

I think he bought this CSL undecided on whether it would be an addition to his collection or for sale. My guess if he can move it on for a tidy profit he will, if not it may stay put for a while. We will see...

Yes indeed

I know the seller. I went to see him about a Maserati Ghibli some years ago and he was very hospitable. Had a good chat about cars and he's a top chap. Knows his stuff.

Cheers,

Hello Gents,

I am new to the forum and a hope to be a CSL owner in the future.

I looked at the car when it was for sale with NJ and I was quite keen on it due to the low miles.

I spoke to a friend in Ireland who was familiar with the car. It was previously owned in Ireland by a chap that tracks his cars pretty hard, he said this car had a super charger fitted to it at one point and that the engine has been out of the car. He thought the miles might not be correct either, I couldn't find evidence to suggest the mileage was not correct though. He did say that the car had been driven hard and tracked a fair bit.

In the end it was enough for me to walk away from the car, too many question marks about it's history and provenance coupled with the repainted panels.

I am very piccy and I want a low mileage pampered minter, unfortunately this one wasn't it.

Looking forward to contributing more once I find a good car.
