Another First Timer
Hi,
Just purchased a 2001 CL-P in the new Eternal Blue color last Saturday...just turned 200 miles today. I have been reading posts for a while since I began looking at the CL and read a post just today about the lack of notice that the new blue color was coming...I was set on the Monterey Blue but when I went to the dealer they had 2 CLs side by side with the new and old blue...and I changed my mind right then. I guess I lucked out with my timing. Anyway, love the car...traded in a '96 Integra which was also a great car! And I was happy to get a good deal and a very pleasant buying experience (Precision Acura of Princeton)...and get this: my insurance actually went down over the Integra (only by $6 - but still surprising)! I've also been reading the detailing forum and about Zaino's products...I was using Mother's on my Integra but after seeing some of the photos that have been posted here after using Zaino's I think I will definitely give it a try! Anyway, the info I read on this board regarding pricing, various experiences with dealers, etc. was very useful to me during the shopping/buying process! Thanks!

Welcome to the board. But I wouldn't worry about the "scratched rim club" as I don't think the Premium has that concern.
