After finally realizing that my CL was dying another slow tranny death, I decided I had enough. I traded the car in on Saturday (got my payoff for it ) for a lease on a 2008 Altima 2.5S Sedan with the 6mt. I was sad to see the car sitting on the lot but I am quickly falling in love with the Altima.

Also this month, I added a 2003 S2000 to the garage. Found the car in Tempe and made the drive that night to go get it... it hadn't even been on their lot for more than 24 hours when we picked it up...

Anyways, thanks to everyone who was here to help and give suggestions when hell broke loose with the CL. Hopefully after the lease is up on the Altima I'll be able to get into the new TSX or TL

:wink:

 

the new altima's look good,congrats,and the s2k is an s2k nuff said. good luck with the new rides.........

and get a tl-S later:wink:

 

Noooo! My internet love is leaving me!

Nice upgrade btw! And the s2k should be a blast at the tracks! Take care and be safe.

 

Altima Good call on the s2k, we'll miss u

 

Congrats! The '08 Altima and S2000 are definately nice upgrades. Post pics of both the Altima and the S2000 when you get a chance!

 

So am i going to be the first AZ person to test drive the s2k?

 

Dang...altima AND an s2k?

coming up foreal

 

S2K's are fun cars, enjoy!

 

I thought exactly the same thing about the Altima before I drove the Accord Sedan 4 cylinder. The Altima feels faster (a lot to do with the 6mt)... the Accord is fine once you get up to highway speeds but passing other cars takes effort. Not to mention the fact that they will NOT budge on their sticker price which IMO, is too much for what you're getting. My other option was a Jetta which even felt a lot more fun than the Accord.... Jetta was on the inside though.

 

Thanks! Hoping to get some shots of the cars together this weekend... will post when I get it done.

 

new altimas are nice! i use to sell nissan and if it wasnt for me being around em everyday for 6 months Id be right there with ya.

 

if u do decide to get a tl get a tl-s but nice pick up bro keep us updated on how things go

 

Bro

 

She's the beautiful girl in the avatar.

 

nice pick ups, i love the s2k.........but you should have gotten the 3.5L Altima coupes......

 

And LOL @ the bro comment.

 

wheres swervin @ to weigh in.

good luck with the altima. there kinda cool. too bad you couldnt get an 08 Accord EX-L....

 

268 HP Accord ftmfw

And all the leghumpers will miss u

 

Definitely love the v6 Accord. The local dealers here seem to have a shortage of those... otherwise it would have been a thought. I only had my choice of one v6 coupe... it was on the showroom floor going for the same price as a Mugen Civic SI sedan and an S2000 CR.

For now I'm happy though, my insurance has only gone up $5 a month more than my CL, gas mileage on my first tank should get me to 430 miles and I still have a 6 speed so I don't feel like I'm driving a mom car. I think it will keep me entertained for 36 months. Oh yeah, I also don't have to worry about why my tranny is lurching through the gears, thats the best part

 

beat the piss out of all 3 this month.

 

how much did you get for the CL?

did they kn the tranny was dying?

 

sad to see ya go, enjoy the new vehicles n get up some pics!

 

I got $5500. Drove the S2k there, and did a sight unseen trade in. Told them I wanted payoff. Then came home, picked up the CL took it to them... they drove it two miles said the car was great, deal was done. They have already paid it off. It was easy..

 

whoa, 5500$ for the CL? i couldnt even sell mine for more than 4500, granted it was a 97 2.2 manual but still thats a good deal

 

Yeah, I felt good about mine. While the tranny was a piece of shit, the car was pretty much perfect in every other aspect. It only had 82,000 miles on it... when they saw it the guy actually said it was the best looking 1998 he's seen in a long time. I'm just a bit overly tedious about everything with my cars...
