Well, today was the day, I finally sold the CL. All the years of owning her, all the work, everything gone in the span of 30 minutes. I'd had an ad up for my car for a while, and got a call today, and guy liked what he saw, and bought it. I sold it for $3300. Little less than what I wanted, but not bad for a 11 yr old car with over 166k miles on it. Also, the drivers side window didnt work, the seats were torn up, holes were all my tv's had been, tires were bald, and the paint had some dings and scratches since I had everything re-done in 04.

Main reason for selling was I have an English Bulldog, and the CL just wasnt a practical car for me anymore. I did pick up a new car already, I saw an ad in Craigslist, there was a guy getting divorced and needed some quick cash, and for $3000 I picked up an '01 Explorer Sport w/ 98k miles. So I made $300, got a car 4 years newer and 70,000 less miles.

I'll still check in from time to time, and see whats goin on, after 8 years of owning a CL it'll always be a piece of me.

 

i dindt mean a sad story to spice up this 1st* gen forum lol

 

Wow... Sorry to see her go, I have a pit bull and he rides on my leather fine,, has never scratched the leather. He was trained to ride on leather b4 I adopted him though. Sorry again to see her go, at least u got a deal on the truck

 

make sure the dude u sold it to gets back on azine. damn 3300, thats a sweet deal.

 

Thats funny I just saw your car on craigslist yesturday didnt even know you were selling it. Best of luck to you with your next car.

 

def a legend lost

 

Dude. Dont make me blush.

 

a true O.G. your car was sex on wheels............

 

Well, sorry to hear you moved on, but nice find on the Explorer.

 

i remember you put your car up for sale a few years ago, just after i bought mine. I was seriously considering selling mine to buy yours... make sure the guy comes here so he can post more pics

 

a sad day for CL's.

 

It's true, you were one of my greatest inspirations

 

Sorry to hear the CL is gone, but damn an Explorer?

I think you might miss that CL, even with the higher mileage I would personally trust its reliability over that of the Explorer any day

GL in the future, and maybe we'll see you back here with another CL in a few short months hahaha

 

Peace to a great one.

 

Damn, I demand memorial pics! Sorry to see her go, you two will be missed.

 

yea some final pics would be a nice finishing touch, you got a good deal for all the work it needed.. i lucked out too when i sold mine..
