My brother in law is getting it. I just spoke with Kane at the Acura Dealer and he said that the reserve is 17,900. We are going to start bidding on it tonight and when he wins well go pick it up!

Sly Raskal has one... so that's 1 out of 15 on the forum (at least).
I've thought about selling my car, and getting something else, but something tells me I'd end up buying another CLS6 later on down the road... If I did I'd want a Black/Black or Blue/Black with navi...

black imo, is the worst color to buy for any car. not only is it the hardest to maintain, any little speck of pollen or dirt on the car sticks out like a sore thumb. i would never in my life purchase a black car. i haven't seen a black car on this forum that didn't have swirls and spiderwebbing all over its paint.

Since theres only 15 of them made does that mean the cars going to be worth alot 30 years from now ?
If thats the case I think the poeple would just paint there 03 CL-S 6 speed white and add the Navi.
I think If Acura made 15 CL-s 6 speeds with navi plus RWD or AWD That would be bad ass. Kind of like what toyota did with the all track celica.

I'm pretty happy with the way my car shines.

Why all the hate on teh white cars!!!!!!
((Strangely)) My immediate family has owned nothing but white cars for the past 10 years or so and i'd put them in the same category with black cars..... "Only look nice when clean" with a Black car dirt is more noticeable yet dirt/pollen/etc. while on white cars (mine anyways) it may not be as visible but it does make the car look MUCH older than it really is, also swirls on a darker color car are less noticeable on a white car, to me a swirl on a white car is THE WORST (like on mine) which can be seen from a pretty good distance in all kinds of light..... anyways white cars are sexy, might even be as sexy as a black car, but hey everyone is different. I'm not a fan of the taffeta white meself but pearl white... oh boy now that's sex on a car...

Ok... Was the former owner of this car on AZine?
If you notice the plastic trim (behind the flag) on the right side of the console has PAINT chipped off of it.
Also, you will notice the '3.2CL-S' Badge has been GLUED back onto the car and you can tell, because the glue ran downward before drying...
Filthy engine bay looks like someone was working in there on something and touched everything with their greasy hands.
My car has 117K miles on it and looks pretty damn new! Especially the shiney transmission...
All and all, for a car this old with this few miles on it, it's usually an older person who owns it. I don't think they would be painting trim, calipers and de-badging unless they were letting their kid do ideas from other people...

Most 6spds w/ average mileage are only worth about 50% of what they were brand new.... This one might be worth more then 15K, but not 19K... Edmunds back in Aug 2002 said that the 03 CLS 6spd would retain 52% of it's value after 5 years, and even with the discontinuation of the model, we're really close to that for cars with average mileage on them ($15K for a $30K car). MSRP on my non-navi was about 32K, but I bought mine for 29 and change in Oct 02...
Of course if someone HAS to have a white/ebony Navi 6spd no matter what it costs, then this is the car for them... They didn't make many of 'em...

There's another one with a little bit more miles. That's 3 out of the 15 we know haven't been totaled

On another note, when I see a vin for a 6spd, I sometimes like to check hohlake's list of vins... Of course, #00312 is a white/ebony 6spd with navi:

If you are going to call someone out for being immature at least use proper grammar and spelling.
