Yep, the new Cars Only Forum.... and there's new rules too... I think Ron left you a note. I think you got most of the required info except why you're selling...

I think having the Cars only subforum makes it easier for buyers to find an acura here, and hopefully makes it quicker for the seller to find a buyer

It's in the first line of the ad bud....

As much as I would like to keep the car, I am selling it because my wife and I are thinking about starting a family and having a 2 door car is not going to be helpful or useful for us.

Do you guys think I should go after this? http://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/car/692028872.html Looks like it was well maintained and in excellent shape, but 15k for average miles, plus his email response basically said it wasn't very negotiable at all leads me to believe he has no need to sell it.

I'm going to try to. It would suck to drive 1.5 hours just to find out he's extremely adamant on the price, and is willing to wait until somebody pays pretty much the full amount. I'll just tell him I can offer 14 and just go buy one of the relatively cheaper Accord 6-6s if he doesn't accept it

You don't have to look much farther than to the 1st gen CL forum to see where pricing will be in 5 years... Since the 1998 CL is 5 years older than the 03's we'll probably see the same depreciation...

On a CL with average miles (10 years would be about 120-150K miles) I'd guess about 6000-7500 or so... Less mileage will of course increase the value, more will decrease it along with overall condition.

My CL now is probably only worth 12K or so in a private trade, and about 10K in a trade in (with 75K miles), so most of the depreciation is already gone (almost 20K lost in 5 years). The "fat" part of the depreciation curve on the CL is over... The curve has leveled out now... From here on out, I'll probably only lose less than 1K a year on it... maybe even less than that... So for me, I makes a lot of financial sense to keep on driving it.

For you guys who have bought recently, you shouldn't see that much deprecation in the next 5 years... I'm thinking that a CL bought today will be worth 2/3 (66%) of the price paid now in 5 years (if you didn't over pay and the title/carfax is clean). If you pay 12-13K for a CL now, it should be worth 6 or 8K down the road...

Well kept 6spds with low mileage will probably fetch a decent price in private sales to enthusiasts, but in a dealer trade, they probably won't offer much.

Just a WAG (wild ass guess) but I think 1st Gen CL's will be a good indication of what we'll see in the future...

6 Speed CL's

Not sure if this is against the rules, but I just found two very nice looking 6Speed CL's on philadelphia craiglist. One blue one white. Both with Ebony interior. Both have 52K miles for $10,200. Little upset seeing this considering I just bought mine in January with 85k for $12,800. Just thought I'd pass it on.

The ad for the blue one is fake because that not the pictures for that car that's the pictures from someone else's ad. The reason I know I purchased that car in March this is a scammer.
Check this out and look at pic 10, 11 and 13 do they look familar notice in these ads even though they are supposed to be a 6spd no interior pic to confirm it. Both these ad's look fake.

I'm Definitly in love with the anthracite metallic . When I was looking to purchase there was only two colors I really didn't want white and ssm. Too many people have those on everyother car you see on the road already. The milage attracts me more on the blue than the color.

Hey, guys! It's been a long time....

The wife and I have been looking for one at a decent price but there is nothing listed in our area unfortunately (within 100 miles). There is a '03 AT w/navi for like $12k w/77k on it here that I might have to go look at but the 6MT's are non-exisitent. Kind of a bummer. There are some other AT's for sale too but nothing in the color combo I'd be willing to take w/an AT. I'd be lying if I said the tranny issue didn't bother me a little. Oh well, I'll keep looking but sadly, time is running out.

I saw you mentioned doing a trade-in; did you buy the '03 CL-S from a dealership or from a private seller?

I got one...

I've been trying to sell my car for a while. Autotrader twice. Many inquiries..a couple test drives..no purchases.

Anyways, I thought I'd throw it out there again.

03-CL-S 6-speed w/out navi. Black/black. 54k miles and asking 14k.

Lowered on Tein coilovers with 1200 miles on them. Have axis slotted front/rear rotors. Black painted calipers.

I live in Allentown but am back and forth from there to Philly for class.

This is where i traded in my CL-s and picked up the MDX.
They have black/tan 6-speed w/77k miles
Front rotora BBK, looks like a comptech exhaust, lowered, comptech SC w/full guages, and 01 fog lights

Theyre asking $14.9, but you can talk them down $2k easy

Ive never seen this car posted on the site:

Appraisal wanted...

I'm looking for a few comments about a resonable price for my wife's '03 cl type-s 6-speed. There is a real possibility that it will be for sale shortly.

One owner, bought in May of '02.
Female driven
104,000 miles
Bright silver
Black interior
Non-navi
Non-smoker
Inside and outside are perfect.
Serviced by A&H motorsport here is PA. Oil changed every 4,000 miles
No interior noises at all. It's a very well preserved car.
Tires, rotors and brake pad have been replaced in the last 8 months.
Car never revs pass vtech that often so very light to no abuse.

The rims have slight curb rash but very minimal. That's about the only thing that i see wrong with the car.

Price? $10,500 to much? My wife is looking for more power so that's the reason for the possible sale.

Thanks for you time.

7k... ouch... I just paid off my 03 CLS 6sp with 105k on it. Even with CT everything on it, I wouldn't get much more. And parting it out would cost me $$$ cause I don't have any of the original OEM parts.

But who says I want to sell my car... for me it's a keeper...

Thanks for the plug!!

BTW, for anyone interested, this car is filled with new OEM parts due to a (now solved) warranty problem. It drives really really nice.
