Well i just registered for this is and theres a used car place w/ a '97 2.2 cl i'm not sure how many miles but its black (nice paint) the tinting on the window is bubbling a little but has leather. and its an automatic ohh well,
but its got nice 18 wheel with low-pro tires how much should i consider puting in to buy it? i havent called the dealership yet but i need a good base price so i dont get ripped off. By the way i live in AL so CL's are sorta rare and i'm 18 looking for a nice unique street car. Plz and comment or suggestions

Yes, find out what they want from it, remove 2-3 grand from the price and start negotiating. More details will help, miles, stick/auto? Paint condition, engine condition? Tell them you want the windows retinted too Welcome

make sure it has a clear title nd ask for maintance records ie: timing belt changed, brakes good?

Mehhhh... I wouldn't buy an auto. Transmission issues on all of the CLs... try to find a 2.2 or 2.3 manual if you can wait.

low-pro i'm guessing u mean low profile tires? Usually... that worsen the rides so its not a proud thing to be saying... but with 18s... u gota suffer a lil to play. And also, just because it has 18" rims... doesn't mean that they are good looking. Maybe take the rims off, and it'll knock some money off the price, get your own rims to your liking... since you are going to be driving it. oh yea... auto cars are boring... haha =] I mean... i'm in so cal, with traffic... but i love manual... I don't think AL has a lotta traffic so manual won't be a pain as some say...

while I agree with the manual statements........ me an Auto guy........ you guys know how hard a 5-speed CL is to come by......... when you dont have a choice, just take what you can get

thanks to all i'll try to get more info, i saw the 18's and liked how they looked, but i cant find another CL around (it does have premium package though.)

Premium package is a must for the CL

thats why i kinda disliked mine...it wasnt sporty enough for cloth and not quite luxury without leather

^I'd rather have cloth any day to tell you the truth. Not burning my ass FTW.

Dicorp

well it depends, leather feels better, doesnt stain for whatever reason and doesnt burn, i smoke in my car. so for me its better

Yeah keep telling yourself that

XxAtTheGatesxX

Honestly leather doesn't do a whole bunch for me.

But as always, it boils down to personal preferance.
