wasn't it suggested somewhere that a CSL could be broken for around £15K .... if that is the case then surely thats always going to set a floor in the market ?Comment

Just to bring some glimmer of hope to the thread... I purchased my old CSL from Simpsons Motorsport for £19k with no tyres.
In the file of paperwork was the receipt from when they purchased the car from their client. No obviously it was a trade price, and the car needed some work ( nothing major - just a front end respray, inspection 2 and some discs and pads) BUT... It was bought for a fair bit less than £15k!
Probably the least amount of money a CSL has changed hands for though...Comment

Ah, but that was back then, when they were 'two a penny', those were the days, but alas those days are no more!Originally posted by funtime View Post
I think I can safely say you won't see a CSL for sale less that 20K, in any condition. You can but wish/hope/pray, something might come along that needs work! :whistle:Comment

But be careful, I hear they don't pay out as much as they quote when they actually see the car. No sat nav, no cup holders, not even an airbag in the doors = Sharp intake of breath and £000s knocked off the valuation :-DComment

Not strictly true, I bough mine for £20k by the time I had the tyres on, and we have one on here for sale with the same mileage today for £20.5k. So the market has only run away with the lower mileage examples... The market for high mileage ones hasn't changed - Shane also has a 98k miles CSL up for £20k.Originally posted by Neil M View PostAh, but that was back then, when they were 'two a penny', those were the days, but alas those days are no more!

£15k for one that needs a lot of work or with a blown engine or something similar is not out of the question... Granted you could break one for £15k... But let's face it - who can be bothered? I know I couldn't...Comment

all good advice.
I did look at the CS, but when you just happen to be happily driving down the road, and a csl randomly pulls up next to you . you feel bad ;0( Plus the best bit for me is the side profile with the front spoiler, and boot lid, so it would be missing on the Cs, as well as the air box induction noise.
I just have been into M3's for my whole life, been the E36 registrar, wrote articles about them, been an Ebay reviewer, had my car featured in the BMW Magazine, even driven BMWs heritage fleet CSL, but never been able to reach that extra bit to buy one, so been buying cars that "would do"
So now, I'm borrowing the wife's peug, and seeing if I can hold out, and keep my cash in the bank, until one comes alone.
I have managed by some clever accounting to get my pot to 18K, but that's it for now, tapped out, and that's hoping no more of my kitchen appliances break, and my old cat doesn't have to go to the vets again this month.....
Ill just wait, and hopefully something may come out the wood work.
And I believe the last CSL that was broken was bought by the dismantler for 13K.
again, thanks for the comments, and hope to be a CSL owner / driver soon.
cheers

I am surprised how 8/10 owners got a better deal than PX with them, but then again, 8/10 owners said their cats preferred whiskers ! but who ever actually asked the cat?Originally posted by Yanto View PostComment
