The deal fellas


Listen i was just thinking the other day about how ahead of its time our car was at the time of its release in 97. And how many of us still keep our cars in such nice condition. I think we can consider our cars as a classic.

Just wanted to let yall know the deal

 

My bucket of bolts sure is a classic, aint another one like her.

 

our cars are ...nuff said

 

Doesn't a car have to be like 15 years old to be considered a "classic" ? Almost there...lol

 

Silver speaks da troof. The styling is so unique and so ahead of its time, 1st gen CL ftw

 

and we'll be rockin our v-tec motors that barely make the difference

 

"how ahead of its time our car was at the time of its release"

+1, witout a doubt.

 

wish i still had one

 

I believe it's 25 years to be considered a classic at least in Fl it is.

 

it's done then? WTF man.


Dont mean to sound crude, but about that right horn button..

 

Our cars were definitely ahead of their time when they were released...they still look super good compared to some of todays modern designs. Now if only they had the power to match today's horsepower wars lol

 

My ONLY complaint is the front end. I'm sure it looks better with the lip, but yeah... That will come soon.

 

sure does

 

hah, yeah. i'll see what i can do. i've been talking to the insurance company , trying to bring the car home so i can get my teins and exhaust and swap back to stock, i'll grab the horn button while im doing it. i still own the car, havent agreed to anything with the insurance company yet.

they're valuing it at $5600, i'm paying off the rest of the car with that money, and buying something else straight up. dont wanna be in debt anymore.

 

the 3.0s were on the streets in 1996 rockin the j30. i believe no other honda would see that engine for a year or so no? (accords still had the c27 all through that year no?)

 

 

how much are you gonna be left with after all is said and done? (enough to buy another CL mayhap? )

 

yep.. no honda would see it till the 1998 accord v6 (dunno if it was released in 97 at all though as a 98..)

 

hah... more like just over $2k.

i was in a good amount of debt.

i could go carless for a few months and then have enough for another one, but damn its so hard to find a 2.x 5spd around here for under 6k

this whole situation has got me depressed as fuck.

 

I got mine for $4700

btw what about this?

i got mine for $4500

insurance gave me $5600 back

muahahahahaha

i saw that blue one... im kinda feelin it but theres no way i can scrape together that much money right now... im thinking of going with a DA or an EJ coupe for a couple months then maybe coming back to you guys lol. i need a chill little car that wont put me back alot of $ right now, then after the holidays i can go all out again

 

wow.. one primrose down :-(... how did they determine it was a total loss? is it more expensive to fix.. so theyre just going to buy it off of u? dude just slap on another door. what are u thinking!. then u can bondo.. or weld some skin on that quarter panel. sand etc.. me and a M2. guy are going to fix my car in about a weekends worth of time...

 

Oh. and i think you can buy your car back from the insurance... And.. they will give it to you dirt cheap plus like a couple grand... idk someone was tellling me that...dunno if its true. but id give it a shot... it all depends if u still have a heart for the CL.

 

U can buy it back from salvage

 

I dont think the CL is so much of a classic but the 6spd Legend Coupe definately is..

 

Legend coupe along with the CL is a classic.

Man 1st GEN CL looks way better than the 2nd Gen. IMO

All they needed to do was add more power to the Car and thats it.

 

 

its too much internal damage behind the rear quarter panel. i could buy it back, but it would be salvage and that wouldnt be a very good investment for me in case i happened to need some money down the road, and the car was worth $2000 cuz of the salvage title.

im taking the $5600, and i might finance another one after i pay off the debt on this one.

i realized that im like in love with these cars. as i was driving mine home from the body shop (yes it still drives PERFECT and they're totalling it ) i literally started to cry. i felt like a bitch haha, my last drive with layla.

oh well, at least they're letting me put it back to stock first. so depending on if i finance another one or not, i may have some mint Tein HAs and A'pexi exhaust for sale

 

Its ok to cry man... I did a little when I damaged my front bumper and I thought my frame was bent

 

word. it's gonna be the worst watching the tow truck take her away in stock form.

oh well, live and learn. its alot easier to find a 3.0, i dont think i could deal with an auto tho. guess i'll just wait for another great deal like mine was to come along
