Always wanted Anthracite!

When I first got the car I didn't even know the CL was offered in the color that's how little research I did prior to purchase...

in my opinion it might be likely that the mods were taken off of the car, if it had any.

it has an m5 lip spoiler, something i wouldn't say is common outside of this forum, which also leads me to believe that it was a members' car at one point.

FWIW, you would be the 5th owner of this vehicle. It had motor mounts replaced and rear brakes done in 2007.

No, it is not nor was it ever my car.

Registered 5 times although one was because the owner moved. Started in MD then the next 3 were in FL. Other than multiple owners, nothing derogatory in my research.

It will be hard hitting a 12 all motor. It can be done and I don't doubt that you can't do it, but I think you'll need some help from that ems 2

Not really luck. Quality parts. Hondas can run for so long on the original belt. Obviously, its recommended that its replaced at 7 years or 100k but its only JUST IN CASE. Its not like you hit 100k and..........SNAP!!
