10 Year Anniversary!

10 Years ago this past Sunday I bought my CL-S - I'll never forget because I bought it on my birthday. How many of you out there have owned your CL for more than 10 years? Just curious .....

Congrads I think that's awesome. I would have had mine for 6 years next month if it wasn't stolen.

whiteknight, I've never owned ANY of my cars 10 years -- and I've owned 52 cars since I began driving -- so props to you on the one owner CL-S!

2.25 years with my CL-S. A fun, nearly trouble-free 2.25 years, I might add.

I had my first 2nd gen cl for 2 years, then it was totaled. I have had my 03 cl for 7 years now so 9 or more years in cl now(been driving second gen cl since november 2000), first was auto 2nd is manual. Im 29 and the 2nd gen cl is the only car I have ever owned and will own for atleast 6 more years kinda sad

The car(van) I drove before my CL was my parents 1992 mazda mpv minivan. I loved that van even tho it was a piece of junk and drove it till I got sideswiped and totaled. I have never had to sell a car yet.

Have my 01 for 10 years and 2 months andhave 75K. Still drives great and runs better than my 08 Lexus IS 250. Acura had tranny replaced at 63K under Goodwill. Otherwise front brakes and rotors at 27K- all else just regular maintainence. Going this week for timing belt and brakes. My independent mechanic said I could leave the belt for 90K but figure why gamble since it is 10 years old and I want it to last. My twins start to drive next year and it will be a good car for them (big and with airbags).

I find it interesting that you had your tranny replaced at 63K miles under goodwill. My first replacement was at 62K also under goodwill. That replacement lasted 130K. We'll see how my latest one holds up.

Congrats on the low mileage vehicle!
