I plan on keeping mine for the long haul. The only thing is that the tranny is starting to make a noise!!! So I dont know how long I'll be able to keep it.

I'm gonna keep mine i decided. I would lose way too much $$ if i ever sold it / traded in. Its basically paid off and really well taken care of, so i decided its a lifer. I'm still gonna get a newer/better car eventually though. Want to get a house first.

I just bought it in dec., so I'll keep it until it's paid off, another 3 years. Or maybe when I graduate college (2 or so years) I'll get something else. Dunno yet.

owe money on it, cant afford what i really want right now. most likely STUCK with it for now.

Loved when i bought, still like it, mechanically perfect. Just want something else, and more suited to autoXing.

Plus its turning to a rattle box, little stupid things like buttons falling off, fucking irritating that the build quailty id turning to shit. never had these issues with my 89 accord or 89 lude. both of those were solid.

I just bought mine yesterday. I paid cash for it and I needed something that was comfortable, but was powerful and fun to drive. I have always liked the style and I commute 60 miles a day, plus I am selling my Mustang Cobra. I plan to keep this for a long time, if I do buy another car, this will continue to be my commuter car.

I bought mine new in Jan 1999 and am in the middle of the long-haul now. I'm up to 63,000 miles now. I've got a 40+ mile/day commute, so at a minimum I'll keep it as a commuter car until it croaks. In the meantime, if I decide I need another car, I can buy a fun weekend car, like an S2000 or a 60s muscle car.

im actually thinking about selling the CL and just buying a civic instead im trying to save for a house and im not sure if making the payments, even though they aren't to high is a good thing plus the 8000 debt is killing the debt to income ratio.

i love my cl, but it's just not doing it for me. i've seriously considered turbo or an h22, but i've learned from other people's experiences and my own that you wont earn anything from doing more to your car. so im selling mine as soon as i get a job. anyone in the orlando area need a cl?

I rather stick with my CL because those TSX are still over priced in my opinion if you ask me. But if I were to trade in my car it would either be for the NEW TSX or TL other than that don't give me anything else.
