I don't have that kind of money to spend on mods.
i like his interior mods. it flows quite nicely.... its all in ones taste and preference

Didn't anyone read essrak's post that said the reserve was lower?

if he could sell it off @ that price, then why woulnd't he.

that car's got so much crazy work done to it it's mind boggling.




-sorry essrak, if my fall recruitment had gone better, you might have had a buyer =P.

Honestly, if The interior was completely stock w/ Navi, I'd consider it (obviously if the price was right). Then again, to me, it's just not the same driving someone else's baby as it is driving the one YOU built yourself.

Oh, and someone call Cocoa a Neurologist.

No front driver airbag, no side airbags... cloth seats. Dunno. I think the outside is a work of art but inside I think he went wrong.

Dude, its a show car. Safety is not of the utmost importance. And that "cloth" is Alcantara suede, the kind of material you see on exotic car interiors.

Regardless, good luck with the sale Essarak.

you find it unfair to say he's dreaming about the price? he is, and if he gets it, great for him. but let's be realistic here.

No, no... You got me all wrong. I think he should ask whatever he wants for his car.

By saying I think it's unfair, I think it's unfair that this thread is even here and there's a bunch of people bashing the car and saying "it's not worth it, blah, blah, blah...."

As you stated, realistically this is Essarak's business and personally, I think this thread shouldn't really be here. I think it's unfair to HIM thats all. Nothing more.

it's a public message board Let's say the owner of this car wasn't a member, would it still be unfair?

Maybe should have posted that in red?

Unfortunately, I learned in my '97 CL just how valuable they can be.

I find it amusing reading this thread..

first off, I just wanted to say where I have the buy it now price is set, Its listed at what I think the car is worth, again let me clear myself "I think what the car is worth"

2nd, for those that dont have a clue what it cost to mod a CL , nor make it unique , here's a quick run down on the cost of a few mods on my car

Comptech Supercharger MSRP: $4495 + Installation + custom polished.
Comptech SS Header MSRP: $1249 + Installation
ComPtech Cat Back MSRP: $1095 + Installaion

Wheels + Tires DPE Custom multi piece : MSRP $4000 + Tires $1000
Rotora Big Brake Kit Front and REAR : MSRP $6500 + installation

I'm going to stop right here... just to show u where I'm at as far as the cost on modding a Acura CL . If you can add, just right there alone I'm over 12g's in Aftermarket parts with out labor involved. I can keep on going with the list of mods and what it cost me to make my CL where it is. Lets say I stop counting once I went over 35g's in aftermarket parts.

again for those who think I'm nuts or crazy for the price I ask, you really dont know whats involved building a show esp at this caliber.


Quote: for 55,000... soo not worth it... u can get like a used nsx
so if you get a NSX and drop over 30g's in mods , now you can get yourself a Porsche that will eat a NSX all day. You can go on and on about what kind of car you can get for that amount of money, keep chasing your money bro!

Quote: Its a bad ass CL, although not worth 55g's
thanks for the comment, but worth it or not, the mods on the car speaks for itself

again if you get a M3 and drop a supercharger , wheels, suspension, BB kit, Body kit. right there you're over 20g's in Modding... so if its not worth it to you, it may be to others....just an example I wanted to share

Quote: haha. whats he smokin
I'm smoking somthing because I'm aksing what I think my car is worth? I'm taking this from a fellow member that probably have a stock CL which dont have an idea what it cost to mod a car.
