Sellin the mustang and gettin a CL 3.0, hopefully. Got in a wreck about 3 weeks ago, and I was in the back seat and it was our fault. I've got a pretty tore up shoulder and have been missing work. I figured nows my chance to get a CL because the insurance will, hopefully, be giving me compensation for the work I've missed as well as some pain and suffering money. I'm looking for a 98 or 99, but i'm kinda worried about all the problems ya'll are experiencing with ya'lls trannys. Is this something to be terribly worried about or what? I know I'll be losing power gettin the CL but I don't care, the insurance will be cheaper.
But just what are you all running in the quarter stock? And what mods should I get first and foremost before the others?
Thanks in advance for all the replys and I hope to make this board a new home and leave stangnet alone

 

where u at in TX?

welcome 2 the board

 

Thanks. I'm form a little town south of Dallas, Ennis. There's a pretty famous race track here. I now live in Carrollton and go to school in Denton.

get the CL with around 40-60 thousand miles on it.

be sure to get a factory warantee so that they cover the tranny.

it shouldnt be a problem if you get a tranny cooler

and keep it in D3 around town and D4 on highways

WELCOME!

 

thanks dragon, hopefully I will get enough from the insurance and won't have to sell the stang. But I can't wait to get behind the wheel of a CL.

 

Whats the average mileage of these cars when they start having problems because of mileage? I've been seeing some good deals on some with a touch over 90000.
And whats the average cost of full coverage insurance for someone in their early 20s?
Thanks,

Mines got 102k on it, no problems yet. and hopefully, none soon (or later)

 

whats a good deal on the one for 90K

 

its all about the tranny cooler =P. also make sure you flush the tranny when ya get one.

 

What about insurance? I can't freakin afford it on my mustang. I pay about 125 for liability on it per month. I figured that would be the price of full coverage on a CL.

insurance would probably less on a cl. we've taken a shot in the nuts on value... so im sure if you see one for 9g's or less with 90k miles or more... its probably about right.

 

Fuck All That! Buy My Car! LOL
