That caught your eye!

I took my CL to the dealer today (for the 3rd time) to look at a malfuntioning power window regulator. They replaced the regulator this morning, and it's worse than ever!

So........I took it back AGAIN, and they told me that they're closing early for the holiday (sounds reasonable) and would give me a "rental" for free.

So........I got an Integra (built 4/2001) with 7770 miles. This is the first time I've driven an Integra. After 30 minutes in the Integra, all I can say is:

I WANT MY CL BACK!!!!!!

 

Which dealer did that? Criswell? If so, I know not to take my baby there next week. I don't want an Integra to ride around in while I get my CL serviced.

 

Rosenthal!

D.,

I like that Avatar! He does a great job doesn't he!

 

look at the bright side you got a car to bang up for a few days take advantage and race a lotta jettas and corrollas and pop a bottle of moet at midight tonight stain the seats with semen and blowthespeakers purposely.

 

very well put ...
wouldnt happen to be a GSR would it ?? hehehe now that could be alot of fun ......

bangin up a gsr would be real fun i remember how bad i wanted a 4door silver gsr before i got my last cl

 

All I can say is. Time to practice trial braking!!!

 

its an rsx.. and the rsx-s was almost as fast as my car with a 75 shot.. so don't fuck with tegs

 

This is an Integra (140hp 1.8 DOHC V-TECH) w/ auto. Slow as hell!

 

I found the window sticker in the glove box. Here's the top half.

 

oh nm then i get confused when ppl say 2001 teg, i'm used to seeing an rsx

 

Hey,

No problem! I really wish it was an RSX (especially a "Type S")!!!!

I thought Acura stopped making the Integra at the end of 2000. This car proved me wrong!

 

hey, is it a silver 4 dooe integra... if so i have already had that piece of crap with the stock system, the slushbox (no offense) and no intake. boo.. i already beat the crap outta that car. as a matter of fact if you look on the back seat in the right side.............
jfwy

 

my friend just bought the RSX type S in like electric blue ... looks amazing .. that car really moves ... six speed gear box is like silk ... beat me others friends modded civic SI hands down .. i wouldnt even consider racing him ..

i still say look at the bright side you can do donuts in your bosses front yard shooting mud at his front door alll the while waving the finger at him :P

 

No charge for a tank of gas. what a deal!

 

my power window is going realy slow and sometimes not at all wtf is it just going out?

 

That's what mine keeps doing; even after they put a new regulator (motor) in it!

 

i just have to keep hitting the switch up tell it goes

 

I got my CL back today!!!

I'm in HEAVEN!!!!!

 

Great! Does it work the way it supposed to?

 

So far, so good! Although I am having a good bit of wind noise.

 

i bought my car last year at pohanka acura in chantilly, va and they gave me a 2001 integra for a loaner once. it was terrible. i was having 3 of the wheels replaced on my CL...they were "bent" according to the dealership.

anyway, i hated the integra, it was like an LS or something. of course, that wasn't as bad as the chevy metro i had to drive for 12 days as a rental when my car was in an accident. my insurance company loves me so much that they hook me up with a fine piece of machinery. yeah right.

 

I guess the Integra must have seen like heaven compared to the Metro?

My Integra was OK, it's just been a while since I was driving something that small/low power/and without leather. I'm spoiled!

 

yeah i had forgotten how good i had it until i was put in that metro.

 

Let's not get TOO spoiled. The Integra is a great car! My sister hates it when she takes hers in for service and they give her a CL loaner, because she thinks the CL is too big and unresponsive. Granted, that's a 2.3, but to each their own. You could get a loaner like my BMW place gives: an economy-size car from Enterprise.

 

BMW doesn't give you one of it's own as a service loaner?

What does that say for the faith in their customers?

I wonder if this has anything to do with my co-workers decision to cancel his order on his M3 and X5! :P

He's buying a Range Rover and a Jag.

 

Actually, it has more to say about how many BMW's are in for service at any given time. I know I've had an especially bad experience being in the shop so often, but all four BMW dealers I've used for service (in different parts of the country) were jam-pack slammed. They just can't keep that many cars on the lot to use as loaners!

 

the bmw in vancouver has bunch of 318s for loaners... =) i used to see them around the time cuz they have these funky blue/red stickers around the body.. ^^

New to board, just bought a 1997 CL 2.2 with 39700 miles for $9000 - clean history. The driver's side window sometimnes does not roll up all the way and is slow as hell. Should I spend the $1000 for an extended warranty and have the warranty repair the window (approx. $400 dollar repair)? Any help or suggestions appreciated.

 

Yes, spend the extra grand and have it pay $270 for each window regulator, cause they will break.

 

Agreed! Plus the warranty can help cover other "unexpected" problems that show up. My extended warranty has MORE than paid for itself!
