Price check on a 03 cls 6spd with 15k miles

FOR SALE:
2003 Acura CL Type-S
Just hit 16,000 miles
Black on black
6 speed manual transmission
Factory navigation
On-Star
locking lug-nuts
35% tint all the way around
PLUS ALL STANDARD OPTIONS, ie: xeon lights, 6 disc in-dash changer, dual heated seats, brushed aluminum interior trim, power moonroof, blah blah blah

This car will still have around 34,000 miles worth of warranty or another 2 years and 2 months...whichever comes first.


Seller is saying lowest he will go is $21650.00

just purchased an 03 cls black on black 2 weeks ago, automatic w/ navi and 27k miles for 20,500, acura certified. im from NY but purchased in NJ, the thing that sucks is sales tax is 9.5% where i live so i had to get them down, they were asking 21,999

Seems about right (maybe a little high) for such a low mileage example...

If you're looking specifically for that color combo w/ navi, it's probably wise to pay the extra coin... You probably won't find another one exactly like thins one with that kinda mileage on it for awhile (if at all)...

You can probably do better on a higher mileage car.... but I don't think this asking price is totally out of the ballpark considering the mileage.

I think that's very fair. Especially with navi and that low of miles. I paid $22K for my 03CLS with navi and 40K miles. I'd go for it.

I always like to get something off the asking price... But trulegend might have already haggled w/ him...

I'd get him down to 21K at least.. I like dealing w/ round numbers...

That sounds about right. I just bought a 2003 white on black type s. It had 50,000 at the time of purchase and it is certified pre owned. It is a 6speed with navi and has all standard options. It listed at 20k but i managed to get it for 18k. So I would say go for it.

Do a nation wide search. That's what a lot of people do.

I don't know why people sometimes think these 6spds are so hard to find...

The place 2 miles from me had a silver one last week, and this week they have a black on black one... $19,850 (asking price) non-navi w/ 44K miles...

Not that they're hard to find, just that the dealers want too much for them, with too many miles. Here's an example.

This one is an Anth. 6speed non-navi with 31k, they want $23,989 for it.

Example #2 is a black on Tan non-navi 6speed. They want $21,999, for 45k miles.

Here's the best deal of the treo's. It happens to have the best exterior colour. They want $18,950 for 46k miles

Dealers out here just want too much for their cars.

If there were less than 3 people killed in the accident, buy it and run like the wind.

Wow farnizzle, you have the rarest of the rare CLS 6mt combos!
My 6MT/Navi anthracite, spoiler, mudflaps, etc was $23750 but that was 2 years ago and w/7500 miles.
