99 cl...good deal?

hi guys, this is my first post, but i have been looking around on this site for the past couple days and was considering buying a cl. I located one closeby and was wondering if you thought it was a decent deal..
its a 1999 2.3 automatic.. with 79000 miles for $6890. i chekced with the owner and the car hasnt been in any accidents and has a clean title.
i would ideally rather have either a 3.0 or a manual but this seemed like a good deal so i was just wondering what you guys think.
thanks

keep it saved in your phone book, but keep looking for either a 5spd or a 3.0 auto...

if your gonna get an acura autobox glass tranny. the 3.0 glass is the way to go.

i got almost 160,000 miles on original before it blew. others have blown at under 60,000.it's kinda like the lotto. i'm a 3.0 btw.....

a warranty is your friend. it's not a matter of if it's gonna blow it's when. TEST DRIVE IT.if you feel the slightest slippage,head for the hills .......

i think the 2.3 autos aren't that great...but the 2.2 autos are nice. they are pretty reliable. obviously not as reliable as a 5 spd...but of all the autos, the 2.2 are the best autos.
