I would choke somebody if my car ended up like this


















THE ACURA IS ON SALE...$500.00

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Acura...03837680QQrdZ1

 

too bad no navi, if you bought the car for 500 and parted out the navi youd make money! other than that, i could def see a lot of it being parted out interior wise, but other than that, that thing is done.

 

damn there ain't a straight panel on that thing

 

I just saw this on my latest ebay search.

I actually considered buying it. I went so fas as to see the shipping costs door to door. Total cost would be around $1,500 IF the reserve wasn't more than $600. I doubt it though. I'm sure I could salvage many parts off of it and at least break even.

Might be a good buy if the reserve isn't too high.

 

Damn I need that spoiler.

 

What is it with all these pics of wrecked SMR CL's recently...

I'm going to start driving slower/safer

 

heh. thats about 10 minutes from where I live... If it wasnt a second gen, I'd be all over that thing - there are plenty of things that I could grab from a junked CL...

 

damn i pray my shit never looks like that
I would take the inside shit out and scrap it

 

the wheels are still good

 

The airbags didn't deploy???? I guess someone's srs light was on....

 

They look alright in what w can see, but the car has 99K miles. I'm sure they are pretty scarred up

 

wheels navi and you get your money back if you buy that for 500

 

Nice avatar

 

I wonder if "99,000" is the actual milage. If so, I guess that's one way to get rid of it before the tranny warranty goes!

 

Thats What's Up

 

Go snatch that spoiler off of it for me. I need it, badly. Please. Ask how much they'll sell it to you for, and I'll pay you for your effort.

 

You, and I both.

 

It's up to $970. I think you may actually be able to make the money back, but it will be a hugh pain in the ass.

 

The reserve still isn't met. Who knows how high the reserve is.

 

I bet it's at least $4K

 

It'll all buff out.

 

Probably.

 

looks like its up to 2000.00 now and they lowered the reserved price. anyone here bidding on it?

 

definitely hope my CL never meets the grave that way...not sure if anyone's bidding on it from here, definitely not me though. If i could, i'd be buying smitty's supercharger/intercooler.

I think i'd have to choke someone if my CL ended up like that as well

 

Bidding ended at $2,075.00 and the reserve still wasn't met.

I bet you'd be hard pressed to get much more than that out of it in parts. The only way would be to sell every little nut and bolt on it it seperately. I mean down to things like a master cylinder, alternator, sunvisors (along with the rest of the interior piece by piece), engine, tranny (if you could find a buyer for maybe $150~$200), then again, maybe the tranny caused the accident? You'd really have to have a shop to keep it in due to the broken glass and every time someone was looking for a part you could have easy access to it. That would be one hell of a project. Fun maybe, but probably not worth the time and effort even IF you could get your money out of it.

It's too bad. Looks like it was a nice car 2 seconds prior.

 

The motor and tranny alone are worth it if they arent damaged

 

That tranny really isn't worth anything if the car really has 99,000 miles on it.

 

Its worth it for a spare if it didnt break...besides, take it to a tranny shop and have them rebuild it....Im pretty sure its cheaper for a rebuild when its not crucial to your car.

 

You do have a valid point. In the same respect though, here's a question for you all...

How much would any of you guys pay for a used, 2001 CL-S tranny with 99,000 miles on the clock? To have as a spare or if you needed a replacement immediately.

Please everyone, answer that question and be honest. I'm really curious to know the results of this.

 

Given the fact that a new one from honda cost about 4500.00 I beleive, correct me if i'm wrong on that, going from memory from a check a while back... and if this tranny works well, I'd say I'd pay about 500.00 tops because it's a time bomb. It could be one of those trannys that could last 200000 miles, who knows. If your warranty has expired and your tranny died, I'd say 500.00 tops, then put it in the car and sell it asap.

wonder what they are going to do with that car. I'd say it's worth 1800.00 tops.

 

 

+ 2 for $500

dam that sucks how did that happen did u get hit by a train or what ? let us know and im sorry to hear and im glade your ok

 

I went to look at this car today. It is crushed and can only be used for spare parts. One wheel is destroyed, two are in near pristine condition and the other has a few typical road rash scars. Tires are about 20% used, stock Michelins.

The car starts and sounds perfect. Exhaust smells have no oil burn to it, has the stinky cat smell, very normal. Engine bay is dusty, but clean overall. The autotragic does not appear to have the recall work done to it. The tranny fluid is red and smells like good tranny oil with some mile on it.

The interior is very diry, will need some serious cleaning, no tears or abused look. Dash is perfect, everything inside the car is great, just needs cleaning.

The back of the car is another story, It is toast with sever undercarriage damage, both sides of car have numerous dents and the front is all but gone. HID ballast are missing as are the front two lights and bumper, hood is bent, and both front fenders as well.

He said he was going to re list it on ebay today. I ask him his bottom price, and he started off with 2800, then came down to 2500. I offered him 2g's, he declined, just as well, as it would be a break even with lots of work at that price. I was interested in it for the shell of the car, I'd like to find a cl preferably with the front slaughtered. Would be a fun car to make into a brackett car at the drags. more to come on that later.

Just thought some of you would be curious on this car, cheers!

 

Good work, Jim!
