heh probably been asked b4 but im too lazy to search:P :o

i currently own a del Sol but want something a lil bigger and hopefully more fun to drive. i plan on getting a 98-99 2.3 CL but wanna kno if there are any known problems or things to look out for when checking one out..

thanks in advance..

 

dont get an automatic, i have one and am dissapointed with my decision, and black is impossible to keep clean

 

if you have to get an automatic, the dont get the 2 series (ie: 2.3) Get the 3.0/3.2 6cyl....

Transmissions seem to be the worst thing about our cars...they go out alot, so get a cl with an extended warranty!

I love my black CL...its hard to keep clean but once u clean it and shine it up...its the best looking car out there...*bling bling* hehe

I'd check carfax if i were you...and umm...i think thats about it...GOOD LUCK!!

The usual....CARFAX, available extended warranty, maintenance records, etc.

But for the car itself. If you're getting the 2 series, get 5-sp manual. Auto 2-series would definitely be under-powered. And test EVERYTHING for functionality...test all the electrical accessories like seat warmer, cruise, defog, power seat, etc. Also, if it's got the factory Bose system...MAKE sure it has the security code with it. Or else the first time you disconnect the battery for any kind of maintenace, and you don't have the code....you're gonna be spending $60-75 to have Acura pull the stereo and run the serial number to get the code.

 

do a carfax, make sure that scheduled maintenance has been done...if you're going to mod the car heavily just get the manual 2.3. Check the window regulators, and other random stuff that Honda is known to suck at. Should be easy since you have a Del Sol and probably know alot of people with Accords...same type of stuff

 

i just saw his name and hoped he had a cool avatar

 

What are the factory specs of the CLs?

 

If your looking for a 1st gen, I reccomend a 3.0, I have 98k with no tranny or engine probs. Plus all 3.0's come with premium package.
