Talking General Info ???(Newbie)

My wife has a 1999 2.3 CL and we are looking at buying a 2003 3.2 CL(S) - 6 speed that has around 49K Miles.

We would like to know if there is anything on the 6 speeds that may need to be looked at or have any potential problems. I've seen the problems with the tranny's and I would like to know if they are limited to the automatics or is there a gear box problem as well.

Anybody want to buy our 99"?? 104K and has been kept in wonderful ccondition with all the maintenance done at regular intervals.

Will forward pics and discuss $$$ if anyone is intersted.


Thanks,

Troy
Cincinnati, OH

the 6MT is a great car. The tranny problems were only with the automatics.

Love mine... I had some problems covered under warrantee, but since you're buying used, there isn't much to look out for...

Here's a thread with some other opinions:

Color is Black on Black with full side and back window tint. Body has a few dings, but nothing that the dealership can't get out. Very nice condition overall. No Navi. I have Nav on my Prius work car. Don't really need it on the CL.
