Judging from what I paid for mine that is a little pricey for the mileage and especially if it is an automatic. Also there are a lot of unknowns there with your posted car. i.e. paint condition, door dings, interior, previous owner was 16 and floored it everywhere, etc.... I’d say keep looking and plan on calling around out of your area. A little traveling for the perfect car will be well worth it in the end. Also consult the KBB website. good luck in your search!!

i bought my 01 cls about 3 months ago. it white w/o navi and had about 57k miles on it. i only paid 11,100. and it seems to be in pretty darn good shape. a minor chip in the paint on the hood and a small curb rash on the back right tire. but it runs great and steers fine. ive had no problems with it and have taken it to the honda place and had them check the tranny and they said no problems as of now
