Hello CL Community!
Just wanted to intro myself to this group. I just bought a 01 CLS automatic with only 18K mile on it. Seemed like a good deal after having a 90 Integra and 92 Legend. Both of which are still kicking with well over 169K on the Integra and 195K on the Legend. But after reading some of the horror stories about the auto CL's I'm a little concerned. Maybe the tranny fell out of the one i bought and that's why there are hardely any miles on it!!! 
I'm taking her in for a once over with the local dealer and also to see why the passenger seat won't move forward and why the interior lights don't come on. Looks to be a ton of great info here and let me just say Thanks in advance!!!

welcome and if the tranny was out already and it runs it got new tranny in it. i wouldnt worry to much over it.im sure with in the next few years they will have got a better verison out. i just cant see acura give out some much money for a long time and not try to do something about it.
Welcome to ACL.com. Don't worry.... You actually have better chances that you have a good tranny. I'm on my 2nd CL (the first was a CLp) and I have had no problems whatsoever.

Acid Rain
Just picked up a CL01 black from a lease in Cornelius- car was kept outside, hood and trunk were eaten up by acid rain. Keep it waxed in your area.
My wifes legend is a 95 with 113K. My primary is an RX300.

I ran the car fax and it looked clean, but it was from NY. They don't report half the stuff that goes on up there anyway! I sprayed down everything in that car to got any residual salt off, but water can only do so much. I'm waxing her as soon as i get home from the holidays for sure. thanks everyone.
congrats and welcome
