I have been having thoughts for some time now about trading in the CLS for a sports sedan/ SUV, I could use the room. I’m not trying to break the bank and it needs to be a cert. pre-owned vehicle. I’d only move laterally... TLS/ RDX/ CTS/ etc.

How much could I get privately and has anyone traded in there CLS lately? (2003 cls type s, 6 speed, ssm, mint, no mods, 71,XXX)

Thoughts on cert. pre-owned models out there worth checking out?

I’m just looking for some insight from fellow CLS owners/ car enthusiasts. Thoughts/ suggestions much appreciated… I’ve been a mess about this right now

depends this car is rare i would say more than kkb says if is decent condition.

 

In Canada with those miles and tranny you can prob get 10-14...

Check out the 07+ MDX...there really nice my dad just picked one up!

 

Thanks for nothing

That's why I ask, perfect condition... Looking for some history on private sales with the same miles/ 6spd.

14 would be perfect... I'm test driving a '08 RDX and MDX tomorrow. See what happens. Thanks

 

3 months ago i had offer 12k USD i did not sell it... and i wont do it anytime soon its such a great car to go lower than that... and its rare! remember that.

why is VW R32 2004 manual is so much expensive ? i saw the price like 21k USD same as 2007 R32 auto why ?
bc there was only 5000 made and CL 6 speed is even more rare...

 

rdx are slow, mdx are ugly, well all the new acuras are ugly. what about an accord crossover? those look nice
tsx?

 

sorry but MDX isnt ugly maybe RDX but not MDX... crossover is ugly as hell...

 

Your Welcome!

 

You'd be lucky to get $9K. May be worth more to an informed buyer looking for this car in a 6 speed, but that would be it.
Simple fact the car is not popular, & is not made, & suffers from auto trans recalls, which hurt the entire line even if the 6 speed is not part of it.

 

For some cars rarity can make it worth more, for the Cl it dsnt help it at all. i would also say you wont get over 10k for it. There is a reason Acura and alot of companies are deciding to stop making coupes. Ppl want 4 doors. Just look how good the new tl's sell. The CL is a great car but not many ppl's first choice.

 

Trade in value is shit. When I had your mileage on my (Thanksgiving 2008) I got an appraisal on my CL and it was $7100. Sell it privately. At this time you'll be lucky to get $6k on a trade in.

 

We traded my wife's 03 CLS auto non-nav with 96,xxx miles and got $6100 for it. Baby on the way in July so time to change to SUV. She liked the Acadia and we got a great deal on it. Happy so far.....

 

I bought mine about 6 months ago (03 6mt w/ 60k) for 10k from an Acura lot. It was a local trade-in so I can't imagine he got more than 7-8k for it max. Check the Black Market here to see if any are listed. This is where they would probably sell the best, since we really like them

 

Thanks for all the responses.

Could selling/ trade price in value go up due to a it is still cert. for another year or 100k, which ever first?
