Anthracite Vs Aegean Blue

I'm in the market for a low milage(less than 60K) cl. I really like the anthracite but they are really hard to find with that low of milage. I found a few aegean blue's with low miles. Should i just buy a blue one or wait and see if a anthracite pops up and just be patient? Also if anyone has a low milage cl type s blue or anthracite send me a pm. Thanks in advanced.

Get what you want, dont settle.

The blue is nice though.

I guess what it comes down to for you is what do you favor most in a used car, low miles or the color? tbh I think these kinds of cars, mileage isn't TOO much of a concern. These cars can usually last well past 300k

I got an ABP and I think it's cool.

Agreed. Ill take a well kept 150k mile example over a neglected 50k mile example every time.

I would be more concerned with the condition of the car over anything. I would take whatever i could find in the best condition regardless of color most likely(refuse to have tan interior tho). If you want anthracite wait till you find one but dont just jump on anything you see cause its color you want. I personally prefer silver cause it hides blemishes the best. Black would drive me insane with swirl marks, I would be constantly polishing it.

There was an anthracite CL Type S 6 speed/navi with only 9000 miles on it on a honda used car lot here in Oregon a few months back. They wanted about 25K for it and it was gone in about 3 days.

I paid 28k out the door for my 03 cls6 and that was new in 2002.

I would get the blue over the grey.
I think I've only seen one blue in person.
The grey I've seen everywhere.

color wise I would do the grey if you wanted the car low key.
The blue if you want to be seen and want to be more flashy

I'm partial to ABP because that's what I have and what I like but if I were you I would be patient and get what your looking for because in the end you will be glad you did. If you searching locally only you may have to expand you search to different areas to find what you want.

I have an anthracite CLS6 in great running condition. Higher miles (115k) but it runs better after the 105k tuneup than it did at 65k miles.

Shot in the dark, but I have a Anthracite Grey 2003 CL-S with a 6spd and Navi. I have 115k on it. I have it in the shop right now cause it is having some issues with timing. I will be looking to sell the car soon once its fixed. The car has been in some accidents in the past, but the body shop has done a really good job with the repairs and cant really tell. No long term effects of the wreck. I've driven it across the country after the fix and found no problems with it. No alignment issues (yes, it has a clean title too) I imagine I will post an ad on the site in a for sale section.
