Hey guys i found a 98 acura 3.0cl is pretty clean, tranny is fine. Black/black it has 114,000. How much should i pay for it? What should i check for? Thanks

 

check the power windows. roll them all the way down then all the way up again. drive it. make sure the tranny isnt slipping, stuttering, etc. check around the engine for excess oil buildup. thats all i can think of for right now. if there are no problems, id say around 6500-7500. just remember start low and work your way up. what is the guy asking.

 

The dealer is asking 6995, im gonna get him down to 6. The car is real clean.

 

I bought mine for $6100 for just the car. We brought it down from $6995 to $6100. Everything is fine besides the small bumper scratch. Everything working 114k miles. Try to get it to $6k and thats a hell of a good deal. But the lowest you should go maybe like $6500?

 

i paid 9g's for mine 2 years ago.. and it had 94k miles on it..

 

Too much money for a car that has transmission problems. Tell him you will give him that price if he gives you a 50K warranty on the trans or offer him $5500. The trans should start going now at this mileage.

 

get a carfax done first.. mine had all the times my car was in for major tranny repairs. and it had the minor tranny repairs (flush, fluid change, pressure checks) then 1 month later it had the major repair. (replacment.)

 

 

The tranny on the car is fine.

 

thats what i said too

 

Don't worry when his tranny goes in 10K more miles we can say I told you so.

 

Thanks for the hope you guys.

 

are you being facetious about the tranny or did you mean *help

 

mine didn't even make it to 100k, his'll go soon enough

 

You can't touch a 3.0 CL in Portland for anything near 6k. Sounds like a good deal.

I wonder if the tranny has been replaced at that mileage. Is there a way to check? Run a carfax and see how many people have owned it. Any history on the car?
