fliplyricist is going to be posting a diy on the 3.0 alt soon.

 

150 for labor too???? if so ef a DIY lol

 

My dad did most of the work while I was at school, so no labor cost.

 

i have a feeling labor is going to be a bitch because of where its located

 

It's going to be cheaper than buying a new car like you were saying before. Like I said, it's not impossible, it just takes some time and patience. Give it a shot, maybe you'll learn something.

 

Well thats the thing my dad is fed up on putting so much money into this car. If he does buy another car. Ill talk him out of selling the Acura and ill buy it off of him once i rack up some do from my job. then i can mod the piss out of it. But i know he will get the new alternator though.

 

Welcome to owning a 10 year old car. It's just how it is. Our Acuras (besides the autotragic transmissions) are very reliable. You never hear of anything major engine-wise blowing. The only thing prone to go wrong are the starter, alternator, window regulators, and auto transmission (which, admittedly, is a big repair).

Have fun with an old Ford? If you buy a used car, prepare for more of the same, and probably worse reliability.

 

alt shouldn't cost you more than $200

 

its being fixed as we speak

hes is looking at this toyota tacoma

 

oh and its at pep boys..

 

Why not do it yourself. It took me about 45 minutes total with common tools.

 

tacomas are nice, that's the same platform as my 4runner.

 

4cyl 5spd tacoma 2wd will never die. you can ride it to bits

 

But idk what year it is or anything. I dont liek the 99's look.

well i guess i'll see what happens

lol

 

Honestly, for 9-10k and under 60 thousand miles on a 98 is not bad at all.. Most cars that are that old have twice if not 3 times as many miles on it. I have seen most 2002 accords that have well over 100k as well and they are still 10k.

I would not however buy an older BMW. You will have a hell of a lot more problems.

As far as a loan, you will not need a co-signer, but you will however (more than likely) some money down on it. I would say anywhere from 500-1k. Thats my though.

 

yea. well my dad really wants to trade in the acura and im going to try to convince him to let me buy it off him in the summer when i rack up some cash. But he will probably laugh at me haha.

 

Well, whatever you do don't get the older BMW. I agree with SwervinCL, I had a 94 BMW 525I before my Acura. So many problems and not cheap to fix. Try to keep the CL it will be much more reliable than most other cars

 

thats what im going to try to do. If my dad wont let me buy the Cl off of him. IM going to look into a loan for a CLS-6. I guess go big or go home right? haha. I dont have any bills to pay so depending on the interest rate it may be a good idea. Plus they are sexy. haha

 

oh andd btw the bill was i tihnk 240 bucks or 230 not too shabby i guess

 

That $240 bill is a hell of a lot cheaper than a car payment.

 

true that

agh here is the link to the truck he is looking at

i mentioned buying the CL off him lol

That's quite a downgrade, IMO.

Show him this thread to talk some sense into him, haha.

 

lmao

downgrade?!?!? what a damn understatement. id rather drive my gmas sable. wtf haha

and hows that lousy excuse for a truck gunna do with northeastern ohios rough winters????? god damn lol

when i said that i wasnted to buy the acura off him he said why so you can dump more money into it. I said i want to be able to own a car so i can do some minor modifictaions to it. I like cars and i have interest in them and thats something i want to be able to do.

he didnt say anything back haha

how much would my acura be worth? haha

 

p.s. where the hell is my signature haha

 

Well, if you do decide to get rid of it, maybe take a look at this. Its up in Hartville near Kent, OH

6MT ftw though

 

Enough with the hahas.

Go to kbb.com, they'll give you 3 diff values for your cl.

If you keep your cl, be prepared to replace the alternator again. And again. I'm on my 3rd and I don't have a system. Oh, and the window regulators will go, too. And the tranny. But everything else will work just fine, which is more than I can say for BMWs, M-Bs, and Infinitis.

 

Yea well my regulators are amist failing. (slow as hell) My tranny is rebuilt but at the beginning stages of failing I need a tranny cooler.

 

the one interior pic isnt from a cl............

 

Photo 7 is wrong...

 

I noticed that too. Looks similar to 2003 3 series
BMW interior.

 

lol def have two dif shift knobs haha
