OK, I just bought a 2005 TL wo/ Nav and have 2,000 miles on it. I also own a 2003 Land Rover which I am selling. I have two opportunities for a new car... I am keeping the TL but heres my problem.....

I can get a 2003 CL Type-S with 22,000 miles for $10,000
or
I can get a 2--5 TL with 10,000 miles for $25,000


Is the CL Type-S for that price worth it instead of just spending the extra bucks and getting a newer car.... I love my TL but I need a car thats a stick. Wife can have the Auto... Both these cars are stick...

Also, what are some of the common mods (besides the simple, CAI, Lower, Rims, etc..) that people have been doing to the Type-S???

Thanks for the input guys.....

 

an '03CLS 6-speed for only $10K? and only 23K miles? doesn't sound right unless you've got a connection somehow.

if that's the case and the car has a clean history, i'd say go for the CLS. think of how much you save, or even better, think of how much more you could spend to mod up the CLS!

 

wait.. so let me get this right.. you already have 2005 TL and you are looking to get another one with 10,000 miles for only $25,000? And you somehow can get 2003 CLS 6-speed with 22,000 miles for $10,000? Even if you have a very good connection on that 2003 CLS, that seller must be losing ALOT of money to sell it to you at that price. Hope that was a typo. If not, it HAS TO BE rebuilt or salvage vehicle to justify that price.

 

If you found a 2003 CL Type-S manual, with 22k miles for $10000, either you made a typo, or the car is a salvage. Run a carfax check on it. They should be selling for twice that.

 

The car is owned by my father.... no typo, hes willing to sell it to me for 10k.. no accidents always garaged.... Hes buying a Mercedes CLS500 Anyway, I had thought about spending the extra dough on mods but was just wondering if it was worth it since it was two years older.... Thanks for the input guys....

 

So you can get a 2003 CL Type-S manual, with 22k miles for $10000 from your Dad.
If you dont want it, I'll buy it!

No brainer bro, snatch that puppy up!

 

^^ is it a 6 speed, i didnt see that in his post. either way, buy it and you wont regret it, especially for that price

 

Thanks for the advice guys... Looks like thats what Im going to do... Ill definetly post a few pictures and get some ideas as soon as I have the car..... Thanks guys

 

I wish I can get a 6 speed for 10K. Good deal dude. Enjoy.

 

i wish i could get one for 15g.

 

WHERE IN THE HELL CAN YOU GET A 2003 CL-S for $10,000 ???????????????? PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

 

You buy the TL, and i'll send you a cashiers check for 10K for the CL


BTW can i ask why you selling the 03 Range Rover, i'm in the process of buying one. Did you not like it ?, any issues ?

 

No brainer, buy the CL & use the extra money for the SC

 

in mint condition too?! damn, how i wish i could have something like that. see kids, parents aren't mean...........all of time.

 

F900 The only reason we are replacing the truck is because of the gas mileage. If we could keep it we would in a heart beat.. Still might, evaluating all off the options right now. My wife drives the truck right now and she is only posting, at most, 12-13 mpg in the city. Gas is just too expensive... When it keeps going up like this with the hurricanes... But that will pass. We may tough it out so far. But I will tell you that it is the best SUV I have ever owned. Better than a Navigator, 4Runner and a Murano....
