Just got one

I am very excited! Just got a '99 Premium edition with 98,000 on the clock. My mechanic says it's beautiful, and I agree!

wassup, congrats, I'm coming up on my 3 year anniversary of getting my CL in a week or so. You got a 2.x, or a 3.0?

I forgot to mention... It's a 3.0, gold(?), with spoiler. New condition. One owner. Got a hold of him by getting the name off the title. He loved the car. Drove mainly highway. Always serviced at Schaller Acura in CT. They ran the VIN and told me the car was always serviced there (and very faithfully). They did a transmission service at the 90,000 mile interval, so I may just leave the fluid alone. It looks fine.

It'll need new timing belts/water pump in a few thousand miles. But everything in and out looks mint, except for a small crack in the passenger side rear-view mirror.

I just sold my 1992 Subaru SVX to get this one. While I am sad about losing my SVX, at 189,000 miles, I was a very happy owner.

too bad you have to deal with the timing belt service so soon after getting it

hopefully you got a good deal to compensate for it

Actually, I got a great deal. But it's funny, every car I've gotten, I've always done the timing belts soon after purchase...

I treat my cars pretty easily, but the Acura seems almost or maybe even as fast as my SVX. That had a 3.3 flat 6, 230HP, but it was also a 3,500lb car. Not super quick off the line, but unbelievably quick from 50 to 90.
