So I was looking for 3.2CL's for the heck of it and came upon somthing great:

A 2001 3.2CL-TYPE-S in Sundance Gold w/ 34,000miles, auto, black interior, etc. (you guys know what they got...) all for $14,900

Right now I have a 2001 3.2CL in white w/ 43,000miles, auto, beige interior, etc. I bought mine four months ago (Christmas present!! ) for $14,000.

So, I'm thinking that I could sell mine for $14,000 again, maybe even more, and get the TYPE S with 30 more HP for only $900.

Please leave me comments. The TYPE-S is 41 miles away from my house and, with ideal conditions, it will cost only $900 extra. Should I do it or not?!?!?!? IS the TYPE-S that much better...?

 

If you can get it done that way it is worth the extra 900$. And its its 35 more HP by the way. And you cant forget the sexy wheels it comes with. And that color ohh my God sexy.

 

Ummm, yes it is that much better. Won't you have to pay sales tax again on the new one though? Either way, I'd do it

 

IMO save your ...not worth it if its not a 6spd.

 

your comments are appreciated... Anyway, a private seller is selling it, so sales tax would be less than a dealer. At least It was when I bought my 3.2CL that I have now.

 

Sales tax is sales tax. It costs the same % for everyone. Dealers just tend to sneak in fees to jack up the price.

 

Definately, it's worth it..I did it and never looked back.

 

You can get an abatement on sales tax because you are getting rid of the vehicle so quick and put that towards the new sales tax.

 

You came from a shitty 2.2


Still, thats a huge difference compared to a regular CL and the Type-S.

 

i would do it! you can't beat the color either like redlinen said! ha

 

14k is too much for a pdg cls.
There are no guarantees that someone will pay 14k for your car. Buy the h/i/p, spacers and cooling mods and you're golden.

 

then add the price of coilovers/shocks & springs to try to equal the suspension to some extent.

 

Again, thanks for responding...I was doing a little more shopping, and I think that a 2001 CL-S w/ ONLY 34,000miles would go for more than $14,900. I don't wanna buy a carfax b/c I'm still in the talking stage, but what do you guys think about the low price, low miles...could there be something wrong? kelley blue book says its worth $17,125!, and w/o surprise, the seller didn't list a VIN number on a site where VIN's are always present.

Your thoughts, please!

 

Either way the 3.2CL is nice, but the Type S is a must. I wouldn't have bought a non type S CL. It had to be the Type S. My bro had an RSX S, sweet car. But anyway, the 260hp just kicks ass and the suspension is better.

 

no more "type-s" suspension for me!!

 

 

haha thats true....

 

I'd wait until a 6 speed showed up....but if you want to stick with a problomatic then...go for it! that is one of my favorite colors

 

Did I miss something? Can someone explain whats wrong with the TYPE-S suspension?

 

Ok, so if anything, the tranny is "problematic," and type-s owners are hating their suspension for unclear reasons... might as well keep what I have. Thanks for talking me out of it lol. No I'm still thinking about it; this is useful, the price may be low b/c of these "problems." Now that I know a little more, someone's finally going to get a call...

Thanks for the limited help guys.

 

There's nothing wrong with it. A lot of members on these boards tend to have aftermarket suspension, cause stock type S suspension makes the car look like a 4x4.

 

mmmmm gooold

 

 

pointless... unless it's a 6 speed!

 

 

you forgot brakes
