Whats up guys ok i need some help

my cl is ready to be sent to the grave but i stumbled upon some help so here we go

i got a 99 cl with 172k 3.0

im getting the tranny rebuilt
new timing belt new water pump
new motor mounts
tranny mount
thats the main
after will be

alternatior
new battery
front susspension
shocks and struts
driver side fender
new hood

this is all gona run me a shit load of money what you guys think keep it or scrap it ?

 

Lol clearly we have biased opinions and will say to keep it. If it doesn't cost that much, why not? With all that work it should last you a pretty long time after you're done with the maintenance.

 

imo, no its not worth the time or money. the situation is different if youre doing the work yourself or getting a nice hookup but it sounds like your gonna do more than just get the car up and running. once you're done with the things on the end of the list it will be practically a new car, but then new things will pop up and add to the list. personally id try to see how much i could get for the car (trade-in, sell, donate) and see if its enough to combine with the money you wouldda spent fixing the cl and pick something different up

 

Different? How bout another CL?

 

I see you again n again lol

Ehhh why not try n go with a 5 speed 2.x

If your mind is set on keeping it then do the work.

 

^ get a 5 speed one instead
all i've had gone wrong was window reg and fan blower motor, for almost 2 years of ownership, just oil changes besides that
3.0's tranny's scare me

 

I'd scrap it and get something else.

 

That's a LOT of work, you have to decide if it's worth it for what you want, I've already replaced everything on your list and then some so I woudl say keep it, but I have a different goal than most

 

^ like Chris (blackack), figure out if its worth cuz IMO i dont think its worth it....rebuilding a tranny is 3k itself and then on top of tht u have other maintenance in mind, however some of them are DIY, but regardless the parts r pretty expensive...i would jus save tht cash and invest on some other car...i love my CL but i think its time to move on to some other car tht will take ur mind away...think about it...dont do something u will regret later...

 

dibs on the front lip.


LOL

 

were the hell do you keep seeing me on manhattan ave ?
is your car green ? i keep seeing a more and more cl arround but yea its either fix it or get a 5 speed

 

so i can get the belt pump mounts alternator front ajustables kyb for arround 500 buks the tranny for arround 800 with 100k on it and arround 800 for the whole install of everything what do you guys think bringing me in the range of 2000 dollars thats alot of mula mabe someone wants to buy my cl for 1300$

 

one more thing guys were is the best place to get parts like thee best website ?

 

if its only gonna run that much then i say keep it, but if the bill starts creepin id try to get out from under it quick.

 

i say part it out get another car thats a crazy amount of cash to put in her. But hey if u feel it's worth it do it.

 

soo yea i thought about it and im gona go for selling it some guy gona pick it up for 1000 dollars tommrow ='(
i might be selling my front lip

 

Scrap the stupid car.... it's a piece of junk..........

time and money!! man..

 

go get a manual 2.x brozinski!

 

hey i just finished selling mine due to the fact of the tranny on my 3.0 it was not worth the money vene tho i had a new motor with a whole new suspension and interior. i would suggest u save your money and sell it. automatic aint fun anyway

 

dibs on lip... cash in hand AND local. whats good?

(this is a impulse buy, mood can change at any moment notice, LOL)

 

please no calling dibs on the thread, PM him or wait for him to make a For Sale thread.
