no way.
the CL is dead = low resale
zero demand for RL = low resale
TL's and RSX's everywhere = low resale

i couldnt imagine the MDX creating a huge amount of demand and one would think the NSX is too old and over priced to begin with that the resales on those wouldnt be nearly as high as Lexus and the Germans.

Unless you have a tranny farm. I think hitting 200k on the CLS is going to be next to impossible without dumping $$ on your car.

CL and RL maybe have resale problems. Cars being "everywhere" doesn't necessarily kill resale - some of the best cars for resale for a long time running have been accords and civics - seen any of those around lately? Same will probably go for TLs and RSXs.

I've said this before, but it's worth reposting.

I will drive my CL-S until the tranny explodes and Acura wont cover it. Then i'll pick up a 6 speed tranny and all required parts and spend as much time as i need doing a 6 speed swap.

I will then drive my CL-S until the wheels fall off. I'll weld em back on, and drive it until they fall off again. This cycle will continue until i can no longer weld the car back together.

Only then will i say goodbye to my baby

I only have 25k. When I get my updated tranny in the future, I will go to 200k no problem.

I'm still on the original tranny also at 29k miles. IF and WHEN I do get a failure, then they've surely had enough time to make a reliable tranny replacement by then.
