Just bought a CL

It's a 2001 CL-P in blue. You can see the auction here. I hope I got a good deal! The car arrives at my house on Thursday. It's killing me waiting for it.

I'm thinking about dropping it and putting RonJon servo rims. What do you guys think?

Wow looks very clean. Congrats. Rare color since most here have Type S models that weren't offered in that color.
Check the in-service date, this will tell you how much more warranty time you have. Have fun. hope you don't mind I copied a pic here.

Hey thanks for posting a pic! Yeah it is a fairly rare color from what I've heard. I really wanted white but this will do.

So the warranty goes off of the in-service date not the miles? It has 35K miles so I would think I have up until 50K.

No it's whichever comes FIRST - 4 years from in-service date or 50k miles. call Acura's 800#? and give them the VIN they'll tell you. the first 01 CL's came out in spring of 2000 wasn't it guys?

Wow so the warranty might already be done. I'll have to check on that. THanks!

The automatic tranny has 100,000 miles/7 years, and maybe drivetrain is still warrantied too, not sure.

Well I called Acura like you said and they were very friendly. The warranty is good until July 11, 2005. So I've still got about 4 months left. I'm going to take it to a mechanic when I get it and have it inspected. Anything I should look for in particular?

Congrats on the purchase.

Can't go wrong with a set of Ronjon's, turns it into the CL-Pimp.

Congrats and welcome. I think I've only seen a couple of that color. With a little work the CL-p can indeed become the....

Brakes for warping rotors or bad pads, and the tranny.
