mileage.... life of the car...
this weekend i just hit 10K... jeez louise... that's like 2K each month... what kind of mileage do you all have? how many miles before the performance of the car deteriorates? how long do you anticipate you will be keeping the CL?

I have almost 12K, since May 8 2000. I plan on keeping my CLS until it dies completely. I will not sell it, just add to it when I get my next car.

My mom bought my '97 new and put on 100,000 in the first year and since i got it i have put on another 58,000 or so. No major problems yet and the car is still in great shape. Granted the paint isnt as shiny as it used to be and the leather has some cracks but hey we all know honda/acura has crappy paint ![](http://www.acura-cl.com/ubb/biggrin.gif)

Had it since the end of April. I leased it at 15K a year and I'm already there with 3 months to go. I'll either be buying it, paying for excess mileage, or driving something else in the summer (68 Pont convertible, once I get a new top). ![](http://www.acura-cl.com/ubb/mad.gif)

A little over 14K since last May 27th. For the first time, I purchased the extended warranty and expect I will NOT use/need it. If that be the case, I get my $$$ back
.
I think the car gets better with age and I find I enjoy more as I learn how it drives.

Nearly 24,000 miles since 3/31 when I bought it. Already, I believe the performance has deteriorated somewhat. ![](http://www.acura-cl.com/ubb/frown.gif)
I won't keep this car for more than 2 or 3 years. I'm never going to keep cars over >100k anymore. I'm thru driving junkers.![](http://www.acura-cl.com/ubb/smile.gif)

I bought mine last month of Oct, and has only 3k miles to be exact. As for the performance, as long as you do your basic maintainance(oil change, fluid tranny, and spark plug change) your car will last long and have a good performance.

Be glad it's not German or you'd have to think about selling it a lot earlier. If it's anything like other Honda products 100k should be no sweat.

I picked mine up on 04-May-00.
So far I have a little under 9000 mile on it.
I have vowed to keep it under 1K/Month.
So far ... so good.
As far as how long I'll keep it ...
well, I had a '89 Prelude Si I kept for 5 yrs & 103K miles, a '94 Accord EX-L that I kept for 6 yrs and 70K miles.
I think I'll hang on to this one at least as long as the milage on the Prelude!![](http://www.acura-cl.com/ubb/smile.gif)

I bought mine in the beginning of August and have just about 4,700 on it. So that's about 723/month. I figure at this rate I'll give it to my first kid when they start to drive

I bought mine in June and I just passed 7,000 miles last week.
I only drive about 9-miles to work each way so I stay at about 10K a year.
Most of my miles come from summer vacation trips.
I had my 91 Legend Coupe for 8-years and sold it with 105K trouble free miles on it.
When I bought that car, I told the dealer that I liked it so much that I would keep it for 100K easy and that statement came true.
The CL-S will probably see 100K if I don’t see any “made in USA” problems crop up in the future.
That is unless they come out with a true 6-Speed manual CL.
If that happens, I will take the loss and this car will be up for sale quickly.![](http://www.acura-cl.com/ubb/biggrin.gif)
