I keep trying to tell you guys the resale isn't THAT bad... It's the trade in value it that kills us.
As I've said before, when my ex-g/f was looking at her 6spd, the dealer had a sticker price of $28,900 w/ 37k on the clock. I was like WTF! I got 'em down though. WAY down.

Anyone else notice something weird going on with the trunk? It looks like something weird around the center below the Acura emblem.
Doesn't look bad for the mileage, I should get rid of mine and get another one.

That like $500 cheaper then I paid for my 6spd brand new (29.4K in Oct 02)
and I could have gotten it cheaper if I had waited till Jan 03 when the discontinued news came out an d acura was offering a $1000 dealer incentive...

I think I could get 18-19K for my (stock) CLS 6spd with 42K miles on it from a private sale, which isn't that bad. I probably wouldn't expect to get more then 13-15K in trade in tho'
ShawnS sold his modded 6spd for over 20K (forget the exact figure)....
If you could get the car in VT down to 19-21K, and it was a verified carfax clean, certified car, it might not be a bad deal...
This is the type of car I'll be looking for next time around (low miles, clean, but with a decent price). New car depreciation sucks... I should just drive a beater for the rest of my life, but I'm too into cars to do that... Hafta find a happy medium

I couldn't agree more.
