I just bought an Emerald Green Pearl 2001 CL. i got it for 8k firm with only 35k miles. i'm just looking at your opinions on if that was great choice or not. i've been hearing about the tranny problems but i don't think that'll be a big deal since i only got it for 8k. its not salvaged. tan int. no navi. what do you guys think? shoot your good/bad opinions.

great price, i dont think the tranny will be a major prob for you, but i wouldnt have done it unless its a type s, but great find and buy post pics

 

Welcome to AZ!!! I think you got a pretty good deal personally. I wish they made the Type S in green. Anyway, don't worry about the tranny, it's covered in your case for another 73k miles, so if it goes it goes and you get a brand spanking new one. Post picts in the photography section when you get a chance. There's quite a few members on here with CL-Ps that can show you the way.

 

thanks a lot guys! lots of friendly people around here =]

Go to the A/V forum...they'd be able to help more.

Welcome, I own a CL-P as well. There are plenty of things you can do to a CL-P, so don't feel bad for not getting a type S. At most you can just swap type S J32A2 in. Your deal is really good too, 35k miles, for 8k. In fact that is VERY GOOD.

 

Instead of swapping in the Type-S motor you can just buy type-S parts for your motor.

 

omg, that is a amazing deal! i got my 01 CL-S for 8.8k and it was salvage. yours isnt. mine had 74k too and yours is only 35k? im guessing that is WELL below KBB. prob several thousands. why was it so cheap?

with low mileage and a non-salvage title, dont worry about the tranny too much, if it starts to act up, then juts get it replaced.

 

Throw Some Deez On It!

 

Don't forget, there is a time deadline to the Tranny warranty also.

I think it is only 93 months, so I don't think he has to worry about the mileage warranty, but he only has about 1.5 years left in terms of time especially if its a 2001

 

^^ Good point ^^

 

To mention someone here..."welcome to the money pit"... lots of great info & friendly folks here!

 

i acutually spoke with the service manager at the sterling acura of austin and he said that the time line is not a big deal they are a lot more conserned with the mileage than time but of course this is before the fact and if i brough my car to him in 3 years with only 90k on it he would probably say that the timetable is over and deny the replacement

 

thanks! you guys are cool. and how did i get it for so cheap? family connections i guess.. my dad just came home one day with one. i'll post up pics of it later. i've been looking around the audio/video and DIY threads and can't find out how just to install an amp and sub to the stock 6 cd changer.
