That's right on the money. The resale value on these cars aren't that good though, but that is priced correctly.

Is it this one? Link

ha youre actually probably closer to them than me. i ended up around willow grove one time trying to make it home from my crazy exs apartment in west chester.. dont ask how. ill just blame it on her crazy ass. its nice out there.

anyway, im assuming they traded this thing at probably 6-7 grand, gonna try and shoot for an even out trade on my 03 f250 crew cab long bed. i had it for sale for a while but i hate waiting and dealing with people that expect everything to be perfect. that and im tired of getting emails daily asking if ill take '8 grand cash tonight' (im asking 10)

No, i have autotrader bookmarked on CL-S 6-Speeds sorted from lowest mileage to highest

I can track down any 6-Speed CLS in record time

That one is very nice though. The Red with black interior is the second rarest color combo you can get next to white on black.

This is good to know. Didn't mean any spilt blood over the thread, but my credit card was in fact charged $500 for a deposit.

FYI 10g is what they were asking on autotrader

If its in that shape, its not worth $10k. $8500 is the most Id give for it.

yeah me neither, figure at the very least i can give you a heads up on the car too since i wasted half my day on it haha. they had it up for 11 on ebay now they have it up for 99xx.xx or whatever. if you could get em for 10 grand out the door it would probably be better, not a great deal, but better. especially considering youre travelling stupid far for it

yeah. i didnt really eyeball all the rims but at least one was curbed, probably 2 or more. leather is in good shape, shifter knob is worn, felt like it might be very very very slightly out of alignment, theres a little separation where you grab to close the driver door, on the thick handle there its kinda pulled away. oh and its pa inspected only until next month so they havent checked if it needs anything for that i would assume

it drove ok, a/c worked pretty well, windows all work moonroof works. like i said it feels a little tiny bit out of alignment, could have something to do with the mismatched tires. overall its solid though. nothing funky in the motor, i asked if they know if the timing belt was done as its every 7 years OR 100k, they said call an acura dealer with the vin and they can check

Did you notice if there were dents/crinkles in any of the body? it looks like there is on one of the edges of the fenders, but the photos make it impossible to tell since the floor is shiney and reflective.

If you check the website they have it marked as 8990, which is the price I discussed with them. I'm actually passing this one up. To much damage and they really don't have their shit together. I called asking for more details and they were hesitant to give them. Then I asked what the final numbers would be so I could bring a check, and they were beating around the bush. No idea why they would do this, because I was pretty intent on purchasing the car. I then talked to the sales manager who was useless. Just rambeled on about how great a car it is, and provided nothing I needed to know.

Anyone who wants to pick it up should do so, but not out of town.
