Please Help

Hi,
I'm new to this board. I am looking into purchasing a 2003 CL type S 6spd from the nearby Acura dealer. He is asking 18,000.00 for a 2003 with 38,000 miles and it appears to be in good shape. I bought a 1990 Legend coupe for my mother and she has had fairly good luck with the vehicle. My question is, What should I be looking for on this car? Are there particular trouble areas? Are there certain ride or handling indicators that would indicate well known problem areas? Is this a reasonable price? Edmunds says the price is OK, but if anyone has more real world experience, please let me know. I guess I'm just asking for a heads up regarding the vehicle.
Thanks

The 6 speed is a pretty solid car. And you should be able to get a descent one on that budget. Does this one have Navi and the extended warranty?

The biggest issue is probably going to be how quickly you warp your rotors. The brakes on the CL suck.

Thanks Ravin, I will make sure to check the rotors, is there any aftermarket fix for this problem?
