Just wondering how many of you guys are selling it, and how many of you are gonna ride it out until the tranny dies? What are your plans after it hits 100K?

It seems like we have a lot more people leaving then joining the CL forum

 

Hey! I never left!

However... mines pretty self explanatory. Had nothing to do with the tranny.

 

Why is your avatar not an Acura













J/K Good to see you're sticking around

Also, what do they charge you to put your vehicle on consignment?

 

Over 109,xxx miles...I won't sell it for a long time!

 

I keeping mine for quite awhile. 2 - 3 more years, till some cars come out that peak my interest. I'm at 90k right now.

 

mine's over 80k now, but i'm plannin on keeping it for quite some time. That's the only reason it's in the condition it's in (mod wise). If i was plannin on just dumping it after 100k, i definitely wouldn't have dumped anywhere near as much money into it.

 

im at 120,xxx...who knows how long ill last now..... Ive found somthing with more power, more torque, more options, and AWD.

 

Not really sure. I told them my bottom dollar ($13,500) and a few days later I drove past the lot while they were closed and found $15,999 on the window, their stickers stuck to my paint, their plates on the car, and the car had been unlocked the whole weekend while they were closed. The very next day I called them and told them to get all their crap off my car and I was coming to get it. No way they were going to sell it with that kind of price on it. not to mention it was obviously not cared for well since it was sitting there unlocked.

Oh, I didn't give them a dime.

The very next day a guy called me about it after seeing it on craigslist AND that car lot and a few weeks later he got the funds together and bought it.

Speaking of Chris... where is he? I invited him to join us.

 

It's interesting... We do get quite a few noobs joining, but since the CL is discontinued, and the prices on the 01's are getting lower and lower, we're attracting a "different" demographic to the forum

I'm not going anywhere, but I've got 3 peddles

 

I'm closing in on 100K really fast. But I ain't getting shit for my car at the dealership, and the best I did on e-bay was about the same as the dealership. I'm going to try to trade it in this weekend for 2 cars. Maybe the dealerships will be a bit more helpful if I'm getting 2 cars and trading in 1.

But, I'll stick around. Maybe in a year or 2 I'll have a 3 pedel version.

 

i got rid of my cl @ 88,600... but i didnt leave the forum, i've learned alot of things on here... but i've been thinking about a CL-S6... but i couldnt find one in my area

 

I'll be selling mine with 99k.

 

That was my plan. It's not going to be easy.

 

I was going to trade mine in for an '06 TL navi-manual a few months ago...
Had the bank check went there, took a test drive, loved the car...
Then realized a few things.

1) The new model was going to be different and the old guy at the stealership said it was going to have a 3.5L
2) I was at 100K miles
3) With that many miles and the amount of money owed, I COULDN'T trade it in.
4) I owe 14k - crazy... Can you tell I had bad credit when I bought it. (17%apr)

HAHA! I even called around to dealerships to say that even though I didn't need to be financed, I demanded they pay my car in full for a trade in or I would just go else where... I'm lame! As you can tell, I never got it...

 

DAMN 17%, I feel for you man, those damn credit ratings.

We need to pull a Fight Club and blow up all the mainframes for credit card companies so that we are all back to zero.

 

Well, that would have been great before, but now I have good credit...

I refinanced and got 7.38% through USAA.

So now, instead of the premium only going down $1500 in over a year, it went down almost $3000 since March (I pay extra).



I don't suggest that anyone goes through bankruptcy, worst mistake of my life. Although it was caused because of my ex-wife who was the real worst mistake of my life!

 

once i get fixed whatevers wrong with it now, im going to try to find a CL6 or something else....and sell this one. with 74k

still not sure if i want to downgrade and have left over money, or upgrade to a CL6 and be spending some....idk

 

Currently at 82k, and will keep shifting my car till it dies, gets totalled or is stollen!

 

Here's a little hope

Acura : CL 3.2 CL COUPE
Miles: 203568

Damn, that is a lot of miles. I wonder if it's on the original tranny

 

+ salvage + damaged + CLP....3 grand is still pretty high considering

 

i'm keeping my CL until it doesn't run anymore. especially when you put so much work into it. but if find someone that will give me a good deal, then i might consider selling.

 

I can't see myself driving any other car at this point in my life. I'll be keeping her for atleast another few years, at 68k miles now.

 

i'll be cutting her loose as well when this time comes around. i'm just over 65k miles.

 

I plan on keeping it past 100k...I won't have enough money for another car for quite a long long while.

 

That thing is beat!

 

Just passed 100K miles (200 miles on the new tranny) and I plan on keeping for a while. I can't afford anything new with the same features. If the tranny goes out on me anytime soon, I'll battle with Honda and see what happens. I will keep modding when I get the $$

 

its not as easy as yall think it is to sell the car at 100k. i tried at 85k and got no luck. again at 92k got no luck. looks like im stuck unless i trade it at the dealer for some rediculously low amount.

 

Keeping her for a while!! Plus I have 3 pedals so I am at 58k now so I am good for a long time!! I got everythiing that I want in this car, plus noting else really spark my intrest, that is practical of course where I drive to. So hopefully my plans will be to have this car in the next 5 years as a beater by the time thie milleage will be HIGH and have a nice sportscar in the garage (old or new) from an 01+ TA WS6 to a 04+ S2k to a new X?X?X...who knows, but this idea would be nice

 

It sure is. Just pointing out the fact that the tranny lasted til 200k, haven't seen a higher mileage CL yet

 

Poor Ross, it took me like 3 months to sell the '01 Acura TL with 99,700 miles on it

 

if i had 3 pedals i would keep this car for a longgggg time. would be the perfect daily driver after i get outa school.

 

Still no plans on getting rid of the machine...

 

i recently have read that alot of folks are getting their trannies fixed/swapped by Acura dealerships for free despite being past the 100k mile transmission warranty. so this has made me consider keeping her around past that. also, i am now on my third tranny and i could say that this would most possibly fall under the Lemon law. is there any truth to that?

 

I thought Lemon law was like 3 of the same problems within 12k miles or something? I'm not too sure though. I know some people have gotten a 6 speed upgrade for free due to the Lemon law.

 

THAT would be better than great!

 

I just hit 51K on mine, and I have three pedals. I plan on keeping the CL6 speed, besides 100K is nothing for these cars. Just breaking the motors in at 100K...

I had 2002 MDX I sold in 2004 with 118K on it, with a new transmission installed at 91K if I remember correctly. It took me just over three weeks, but selling high mileage cars depends on who has owned the car and the maintence. Next day I went and bought an 04 MDX. Same color but with more features. The wife loves her MDX, now at 42K miles.

 

Doubt I'll have the car past 100k, seeing as how I'm around 47k now. Will be paid off in the next few months and I'll wrestle with the decision to dump it for something new (like an MB) or nice-used (like a 911). Alternative will be to keep it for a while and put a '69-'72 Corvette in the garage...

Oh, 6 spd, btw.

 

Damn... The guy that just bought my car said that he thinks the tranny is going now when I talked to him last night. And to think I thought mine was immnue to this deadly disease.

 

That happened to VWNOWHONDA, the day after he bought his 01 CL the tranny went.

 

daaamn that sucks /\
