I dunno. The vinyl is blah and the chrome on the tails is blah.

None of the added lines flow with the lines of the car at all

and where the roadlamps were, he just took them out and left the holes = Blah

eh. not for me.

Good car
Nice car
Rare car
Low miles

But still not worth 20.5k for a CL-S/6. For that car I would think 17.5 is a fair price.

Price has been changed to 14,999... maybe they heard you...

I guess alot of these dealers overprice their cars and hope people just talk 'em down to KBB value. Even at kbb retail price they're still probably making money.

My SMR 6spd with 72K miles is probably worth 9-10K in trade, and 12-13 in a private sale (according to kbb)...

Cars with higher mileage will always be priced less, i dont think anyones arguing that --

So i can understand a CL/6 with 100k on the ticker being sold for 10 grand ---

However finding a low mileage one which is clean enough to eat off of (not saying the cars posted here are) at a steal is getting hard to do -

Bottom line, if you wanna pick and choose colors, and you have to have navigation, your most likely going to pay a premium, look for a very long time (i searched 6 months back and forth between an accord and cl) or settle with something else (higher mileage, 10 owners, bad shape, different color etc...)

Yah i cant top that mileage, ive got about 48k on the ticker... and call me crazy but i personally feel that car will sell close to its advertised internet price...

Looks like it has to be mint, one owner, unbelievably low mileage and arguably the most sought after color combo... for someone who is willing to settle for their second or third color i obviously wouldnt expect them to pay the extra cash someone was asking if color didnt really matter. For me it was either white on black or anthracite on black --- my car happened to come up in my searches and it fit all my requirements (low mileage, one owner, still under warranty, no curbed wheels, dings dents scratches) so i didnt mind paying a couple extra bucks for it...

I know that i would make him an offer if i didnt have my car already... the only thing i dont like about it is the wing looks aftermarket (might just be my perception) but thats minor and it doesnt look bad by any means...

Yeah, but 20K is alot of money for a CL even with that low mileage... I don't like white cars (had too many in this lifetime), so the rarity thing alone doesn't do it for me.. so I guess I'm baised...

Kbb lists it at $16K so if someone NEEDS to get that color combo, maybe the extra $4K would be worth it to them

The mileage is the only thing that really interests me on that car (since I already have a 6spd).

It might be worth 18K to the right person... Someone could always lowball 'em with an offer of 16K and see what they say...

I always bought used before, and it looks like there are always a couple of low mileage 5 year old cars out there... My CL was my first new car, but I probably should look at buying a low mileage used car (like the white 6spd) next time around...

i almost want to buy it myself and just sit on it. 16k is closer to what i think the car will sell for. the cl is not that common of a car. only a select few like ourselves know what a gem that is. at any rate, i really hope whoever gets it really takes care of it.

Theres a Black 6 speed on autotrader with comptech supercharger and many other upgrades with 6,000 miles. I called the place and asked if that was ture mileage, sounded sketchy... Anyone know of this 6 speed. I know its been discussed but couldnt find it in the search.

It's the one with the ugly steering wheel and that's been around the auction block more than a $2 whore. Something's wrong with it, just noone knows.

I've got a Taffeta White/Ebony '03 CL-S with 60k on the clock. The only difference in my car is that it's autotragic . Haha if I could sell my car for $19 I would be really glad and buy that White/Blk 6-spd. It's my favorite color combo out of any car.

one of the threads I linked above is from 2006, and IIRC that wasn't the first thread about this car...
