Ok Guys, Serious decision coming up....

My mom is getting a new bmw x5 and giving her old one to my sister, who drives a 99 3.2 TL. The car has 83k on it, is the heather mist silver and has Navigation. My parents gave me the decision to take her car and trade in mine, or trade in the TL. They are taking the TL in for $13,000, which is a rip. So if i do go trhough with this, everything on my car must go. Everything in my sig, my one of a kind grille, projector headlights, ww lip, eibach springs and kyb shocks, rims, tananbe cat back, gauges and much much more. Please let me know if i should make the trade, i do love the way the TL drives and looks, but i will miss my CL lots.
Please, serious comments guys, i need to know SOON, like buy Thursday.
Thanks

i'd look at it from the practicality point of view. if you have no problems with your cl and it being a 2 door. keep it. if you like a 4 door car, then get the tl. they're both the same year...but the tl seems to be more luxurious. dunno. if you're parting out your car, i got dibs on the grille.

I was thinking the same exact thing. I do like the Navi in the car, the highway ride and added power of the 3.2 engine. Well i am glad that i got such a response on all the parts for my car. Still heavily debating though, gonna have trouble sleeping tonight about this

Take the TL and dump the CL. It'll net you a better trade when you are ready.

Dibs on something?!?!?!?

Yeah if you have milano red, you may be my go to man. Everything is already painted and there will be no shipping and exchanging problems. Yeah, i am from Scituate, right on the johnston line. I live in Narragansett durring the school year off campus from URI. PM me if you want to meet up or something, i shot you a PM, i dunno if you know how to use them. If you have some cash to spend, maybe we could make a bulk deal on all the shit from my car.

Who gives a shit if we pay for shipping and offer him more money?

Ok guys, it is crunch time i guess. Here are my prices. I know that everyone called dibs, but i am doing it my way, and not going out of my way to send pm's. So if you are really interested in my shit, first pm corresponding to the price will take it. Assuming i do decide to trade my car and get the money i want for all my parts. These prices are firm, no bargaining, i dont have time.
Type R Grille $160 or highest offer above. It is def the best first gen grille i have ever seen and parts alone were $45. I realize it is hot so if people bid above $160 i will take highest.
Pro Kit $130
Shocks $200 The shocks and springs have not even one year on them.
Type R Lip $140
White Faced Gauges $20
Headlights with exchange $430, bulbs and ballasts included fully aimed and ready to go. They may only fit a 3.0 due to clearance issues in the rear, i remember mike saying that he had problems in the 2.3. Not my problem to figure out if they fit in a 2.3/2.3.
Tanabe Super Hyper Medalion bolt on axle back $220
AEM silver CAI $140
Red 3.0 engine plastics $40 with exchange
First PM's take them
Thanks Guys
Will

<------ thinks you're making a mistake!

bahhhh...man you suck!

there's no f'in way i would trade in that CL for a TL...with all that money and time you put into your car, there's nothing wrong with it and IMO..your CL looks alot better than a "heather mist silver" TL could.

i hope you really think about this.....

Sorry, but I agree with Katies99CL.

All the time and money invested in your car to make it look that good... And then to start all over with a heather mist CL that isn't a Type-S...

If you really want Navi, get an aftermarket.

if i'm not mistaken, in 99 the TL only had the 4 speed auto... 2000 came the 5 speed auto. 4 speed auto... slow 5 speed auto..quick i'd keep your CL you have already put alot of money into it... keep it TL's are nice, my bud has a 2001 with the 5 speed auto... it's damn quick faster than any 2.3/3.0 i've been in. i have driven a 99 TL = much slower
