Whats up everyone. Just picked up a 1998 Acura CL 3.0 Premium. I got it for a hell of a steal 147k miles, top notch condition for $2k. Why so cheap? There is a dent in the car (which as of right now is being worked on for $500 bucks). I gotta say, I love the car. Plans are Volk TE-37's, lowering kit, CF hood and trunk lid. I'll post pics when it stops snowing (yes snowing in April in Minnesota).

 

You sound like you know what you're talking about,

Speaking of which, have you updated that saiko?

EDIT: nevermind, i see you already updated it.

 

nice pick up man. things to watch is the tranny. and be ready when that goes out. it cost alot to rebuild.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome. I checked out the place. I wont be asking for much help here, just wanted an enthusiasts site. Co-owned a performance shop here in MN, sold it to pursue the real estate company with the brother. I had an 01 Type R then sold it to get out of the scene..picked this CL up for a real steal..making me want to customize it -- not rice it out. Heh.

 

if they made carbon fiber trunk lids, i would get a hood

 

zero your becoming a post whore lol jk.....but congrats on the steal of the car...looking at a new car here but it will break the bank for me

 

nice pick up. welcome

 

He learned from the best

 

good pick up!!

 

^shosh, your rides pretty sweet in the avatar.

 

HAHA ^ King of Post Whores!

 

i picked up a 99 cl 3.0 like 3wks ago for 9000 wit 55k on it no work needed n tha guy had it worked on at tha dealer everytime it still drives like its new! i love my CL

 

gl on finding a cf trunk

 

They don't exist, you'd have to custom make one or get one made. If you do, lemme know I'd be all over it

 

How much did all of those carbonfiber hoods cost you guys?

 

Any pictures Johnni?

 

Nice pick up. And about the snow, there were actually snowflakes out here in Dallas last saturday morning! Lucky for me, I was out in SoCal.

 

$600 shipped and about a year of waiting

 

If you guys were interested, I could get you some. I know some places are on 'backordered' because Bush ordered more use of carbon fiber shit for kevlar vests.

 

I Want One

 

haha i was thinking the same thing.. i swear i could name like ten threads with him starting out by saying read the damn noob guide lol and good price on the cl man i like the confidence you brought

 

I'v been shopping around for the 03 6 spd for a while now and i think i'v finally found the ONE, how does 12k sound? 71,000 miles

 

price is high, and you might wanna try posting in the 2G CL section, as 01 to 03 was second generation

 

Someone's gotta say it
