Hey guys, I've been looking at buying a CL, and browsing this forum. So specifically, I'm looking at a 99 2.3CL with just under 96,000 miles on it. The guy is asking $7200, and he just got a tune up and work done on the transmission. I was wondering what your opinions on the price of the car are. Also, I was looking at the consumer reports review, and the only real trouble spot it said for the 99 was the exhaust, but it didn't go into any detail. Any idea what kind of problems those might be?

im assuming its an automatic... i'd say tell him 5k , then see where it goes from there

cash talks and walks.def could get it for less unless it's perfect,which only 5% of used cars are.even then i still so go low.whats the worst he could say "no".

Umm... are you guys kidding me? 5k is wayyyyy underpriced.

Fair market value is ~$6500 in my state for a '98 with 100k+ miles! I can't imagine it changes from state to state by too much, if any.

My opinion? $7200 is quite reasonable, maybe a little high, but within the range.

um i bought my 2.3 premium with 68k miles for 4200. thats leather and the pretty rims (split 5 spoke) , and this was less than a year ago.

anyone know what exhaust problems the 2.3 he is being told about? is this referring to the egr thing? i guess since the e in egr is exhaust this qualifies

Thanks for the input guys.

If he just did all that work, then he's trying to recover that cost to sell it, 6-7 is reasonable
