03' CL-S 6MT - Is this a good price.

I'm thinking of getting a 2003 CL-S 6MT w/ Navi (VIN is in the low 3000). It has 18K miles and is Acura Certified w/ 5yr - 62K warranty & 100K powertrain warranty. Price is going to be around $24,100.

Is this a Good or decent deal?

Better jump or someone else on the forum will beat you to it!
No question, if you want a 6 speed, and Navi grab it. It should sell fast. Price is good but I'd try to get it lower. I had to fly about 450 miles to get mine about 5 months ago, it had 7500 miles and was about $24k but not certified.

Sounds like a good price especially given the fact that it is a certified car.

If it were me, I'd offer 22K and settle on 23K... but I'm the type of guy who likes to pay less they asking price usually. You would think that they could do that since the trade in value for a 6spd in about 20K or so (depending on mileage). If the car is exactly what you want (color/navi) they you might want to pay the 24K. I don't mind paying a little more for something if it is exactly what I want.

That’s a fairly good deal IMO.

6spd/Navi/Low Mileage/Certified.

All signs point buying it.

I sell Acuras and this is a good deal. Navi only adds $500 to the price. If I were you, I would offer 23,988 and try and settle somewhere about $24,500.

Picked it up today for $24,000. 2 years old but well taken care of. Inside was immaculate. Outside was pretty clean also. 3 door dings on one panel that I'll have pulled. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with the deal.

Wow...

Congrats on the deal... I don't think you will regret getting this car. What color is it? Also, will all those parts you have make it onto your new baby?

Way to go!!! Now there will be two CLS 6MT at SacTown Meets...

Thanks Gary.

Most of the parts are common and will end up in the CL-S. I've got to re-buy some of the parts that I couldn't salvage though. I'll probably do 1) the brakes, 2) Suspension, 3) Headers, 4) SC (I'll have to visit Shad to convert my AT kit to 6MT). I'm going to pace myself with this build.

And you're starting out with a lot of parts in hand. You're going to love this car, especially after all the mods.

I got them to knock off another $100 because of the 3 door dings so we agreed on $24,000. You're right on the loan too. 3.49% for 36 months.

I'm sure there are some auto guys that wouldn't mind trading cars with you while you recover.

I haven't tried shifting this one without the clutch yet. I can do so in my 300ZX if I really try.
