If I had it to do again, I think I'd opt for no navi. Shit is so outdated it's not even funny. The updated discs do nothing but add a couple more POI and nothing more in most areas and that's never been the issue with them. It's the outdated routing, looks, and options.

+1 on the spoiler. Other than that the miles are great, and that color combo too. Don't really believe in that price though. But, wherever it is being sold might very well be going for that price.

Not a fan of the color or the lack of spoiler.
Who cares about the miles? On a car that old, it still needs the 105k service which most likely hasn't been done. Regardless of the miles, it's still a +8 year old car. Less than 7k miles a year means chances are it's been sitting for some time which means leather, rubber, and other seals can dry and start to crack. The front leather doesn't look very good for that few miles. Was much nicer when I got it with 60k and still nicer now with 115k. Thats not a good sign that things have been taken care of even if it hasn't been driven much (like conditioning the leather and not leaving it sitting out in the sun).

Price is too high, but besides being in nice shape it looks like no one modified it. So whoever gets it gets the pleasure of screwing w/ it.
To me it seems a shame not to somehow modify a couple year old car, but get a car in original condition at about 10+ yrs and it just seems cool.

Factory CL spoiler is disgusting. After 7 years of staring at the shape of the car, I genuinely believe the CL looks best slammed to the ground, no spoiler, no lip, no skirts, no rear window spoiler.... Just beautiful timeless body in metal.

I loved my OEM spoiler on my CL-S6. I think w/o it that the car looked like a Ford Thunderbird. A "sports coupe" looks ODD w/o a spoiler. At least a lip spoiler.

The CL and the early 90's T-Bird do in fact share a shockingly similar profile.
I do stand by my opinion though, very few cars look better with a spoiler added. I believe more often then not, the spoiler is not part of a vehicles original design intent.
Further, and I have put a lot of thought into this, the CL has some beautiful 'in-the-metal' details around the top of the rear quarter panels and across the top of the trunklid.
With the right paint colour and lighting conditions, the way the non-spoiler CL breaks light on its rear is a thing of beauty.
With a spoiler, all of the wonderful lines that intersect above the tail-lights on the quarter panels is hidden.
Lastly, the forward cant of the trunklid (both between the taillights AND upward slope from rear of trunklid up to base of rear window) is a thing of beauty. It is probably my favourite aspect of the CL.
Spoilers are all personal preference. I just believe some of the CL's best lines are hidden when a spoiler is added.

Yet the seats show more wear than most car with that many miles or even many with twice that mileage. And the armrest? Your armrest shows wear? Mine looks like the day it left the factory even with 115k on the car.

doesnt really matter how amny miles he has on the engine... cant really compare like that.. maybe he/she like to just sit in the car once in a while hahah or maybe when they clean the interior... but yes 99.9999% of cl owners on here have the armrest issue... it goes FLAT

TQ > MPG
158k on my CLS6 and my armrest looks nearly the same as it came out of the factory, no flat spots and I rest my arm on it all the time as its a 6 speed.
Maybe some people have thicker arms than others.....lol
And that white 6 speed is nice, but $15k is mad money for an 8 y/o car that with normal miles is worth $5k.

Here is one on eBay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Acura...s#ht_500wt_948
At first I was like WTF, all that for having navi? Personally I've used mine a couple times (but it is nice to have). Yet comparing the ebony interior to the ivory is night and day, literally! That black interior on the white is just sexy. Somebody will pay that stupid sticker price, funny thing is they probably traded it in at half that price.

I regret getting rid of mine now. 1 of 15. 
P.S. I knew mine was 1 of 15 prior to trading it in. I should have tried selling it privately but after unsuccessfully selling it, traded it in. In hindsight, i got ripped off. Live and learn.
