hey cl-s 6mt how was the condition of ur car do u have any pixs an stuff like was it all jackup like acuratypes03 wen u got urs juw wonderin ight man

 

So do u guys think that my car is bad wreck.? Its not hit its just missing the front bumper and headlight and a fender.. Not bad for 9.3k ?

 

I think you are missing the point we are trying to make. The car is salvaged, therefore, no we dont think you made a good deal. It doesnt matter that the car is just missing a light, its salvaged......S-A-L-V-A-G-E-D.

 

Yea but i can get 9.5 for it right now..

I know its slavage title but damn i got me a nice car for a college and preformances too.. Thats all i mean..

 

Is it just me or can anybody else find the oxymoron in this?

 

hell yea you got a good deal, salvaged or not you got a bad ass car.. no frame or engine damage, thats perfect for me, thats a 3 day fix and you got yourself a perfect car

 

Bad deal...

1. I don't think you can insure it with full coverage now that it's "salvaged".

2. Even if you paid $9k-$10k for it, how much money did it take to "bring it back" per say?

3. $9k was too much IMO. (as salvaged titled cars -unless it's a classic- aren't even worth half of what one in excellent condition is worth). Even IF it was a classic, it would still be worth less but it wouldn't be quite as bad.


Where's all the parts?





Just the front end alone is missing nearly $1,000 in parts without even getting into the interior.



And further more, I can't read half of the posts in this thread.

 

Its siting in the garage now Well i can get the parts for 800 bucks all of it..

 

Is it missing the door panels too? I would think it would be more then $800 in parts. Salvage cars are generally totaled out meaning it would cost more then 75% of the car's value to repair.

Basically, if the cost of repairs exceeds the car's value, the insurance company will declare your car totaled and give you a cash settlement rather than pay for the repairs. Is there damage to the right door / right rear quarter panel?

My CL-S 6MT 60k miles, $14,500 or $15,750 with Acura 100k mile warranty. Clean with no known issues.

 

You guys are giving these things away!

 

Umm, $200 more and you have $1,000..... But I'm no mathematician.

 

Plan on selling yours anytime soon?

 

No its not damaged meaning its not hit its just missing parts in the front.. Yes i can get a full coverage on it and thats what i am doing too. Its slavage but it runs and thats all it matters man.. U know.

 

much more than that, cuz its not a civic your dealing with. plus cls parts are hard to find(I know, cuz I did some work on mine) just my

 

I got a car which costs 21k in a dealership and i got it for 9.5 and parts it will come out like 1k.. Thats still better than payments and plus i am a college dude so i cant waste my money on the payments i pay my own school so its hard for me..

 

Dude i went to a dealership and thats where i am geting parts at.. HID Headlight 290, Fender 320, Bumper 200, sideskirt 150, bosse 6 cd changer and tape player 150. Thats all i need and last thing is paintjob 500.

 

i think for 9.5k you got an excellent deal if you are not planning to sell the car but rather drive it to death. id glady buy a salvage car for such a low price as long as it had no frame nor flood damage

 

Thats why i am inlove with this one man.. No frame damage, No flooded. and this puppy got 65k miles on it man. I wouldnt buy it if it had alot of frame damage or flooded thats a big nono for me.

 

Im just seeing the resale value of my 6speed being flushed down the drain

 

Only if I can get $15,750-$16,500 for it.

 

He's been trying to sell it since July, so I'm sure it's not easy...

When I bought my 6spd in Oct 02, edmunds said it would retain about 52% of it's value after 5 years... I'm at 45% after 4 years

 

I think you can, but you're going to have to advertize the heck out of it (autotrader, craigslist, cars.com, etc etc) and not worry about how long it might take to sell... I think that's a realistic price range for a private sale.

If I were selling, that'a what I'd want for mine... (trade in is like 13.5-14.5).

 

I was looking online last night and I think I'm going to buy a beater for the winter. I found a '98 Civic EX Sedan 5-speed for $3,800. Looks like it's in good shape too.

 

Im starting to feel like i should of bought a newer TL, atleast they keep there value...

 

Yeah, the new TL isn't bad value wise...

We own a coupe... a discontinued coupe... and it's a discontinued coupe with a manual transmission... Most buyers are looking for sedans with auto trannies...

I'm willing to bet that 6spds with below average mileage (under 12k miles per year) will still command a 13-15K price in 3-4 years... I'm thinking it's hit bottom for the 6spds at least... with the autos, there's always the transmission issue (especially over 100K miles) that will effect value.

As Steve has pointed out, it's messed up when an RSX with similar mileage/condition is selling for the same or in most cases more then a CLS. I think as the market expands to the younger crowd (like some of our newest members), the price disparity between the cls and rsx will reverse... 6spd coupes always sell well with the younger crowd :killer:

As much as I'd love a new car, I just can't justify getting rid of perfectly great 6spd. Espeically with the value I'd get in trade... I might as well drive it and take the 12k it would cost me to get into a mustang (or 20K to get into a G35, or 30K to get into a 335) and invest it or blow it on a fun weekend car...

I just can't see getting rid of my 6spd for 15K. It's worth more than that to me.

 

I am going drive this car untill it hits 100k miles on then i ma sell it for like 4-5k and put that in downpayment for a GTI sry guys but i am inlove with the new GTI's

 

My car was in Excellent condition from Manheim Auto auction(Dealers only), i bought the car begining of June of this year with 96k on it for $9600 it is a 03CL-S 6MT so you got an Ok deal, you prob should of paid more like 7 for it....

 

Yea and its in the garage now i am working on it.. I cant get that fuk!$$# wheel lock lug out godamn it.
