I am selling my Acura Legend LS and planning on buying a CL TYpes S 6 Speed. Is there anything i should look for specifically when inspecting the car? Also is it safe to but a CL TYpe S with over 50,000 miles on it? Any advice will be appreciated greatly since i know nothing about the CL. Thanks.

 

i'd rather look for a legend with the typeII engine than a CL with 50k

 

Don't get the CL-S unless you are taking the 6 speed.....

My 2 cents...

 

You must be getting a hell of a deal if it's got +50K. Maybe less then 20K? 19K? If not, don't do it. Are you buying this from someone you know?

 

50k miles on 6 speed? Damn, that's a lot of mile for a car that was sold in 2003

 

I don't know the owner of the one with 50k miles on it and another one i was looking at was at a dealer.

 

The dealer found me one with only 20K on it...almost like new...wonderful car!! This is a 2001 CL-S and I bought it in october 2003.

 

My 2003 has 46k miles on it, picked it up in August of 2002

 

50K is alot of fucking miles for a 2003. out of warranty already in 2 years (depending on when he bought it and unless he got the extended warranty) but I dont think I would buy it

 

Yeah, that's a lot of miles. However, if the person was driving "easy" freeway miles, that might be better than a 2003 6-speed that had 10,000 miles that was driving on two wheels for 9,900 miles.

Hard to know...

 

I picked up my 2003 CL-S 6 speed about a month ago. Got it with 33,000 @$21,500. I figured it was mostly highway since it was only 1 1/2 years old. However, I would not pay any more than $19,000 if it has 50,000 miles.

 

Stay away from the automatic transmission........constantly need replacing along with the ECU I got rid of my 01 and now own a 2003CLS 6speed....runs great no problems
Comptech hrader,exhaust sways, lowering springs, Hurricain chip, Aem intake with spiral swirls inside, AEM pully system, grounding kit.

 

I would get a Cl-S with less miles. IMHO

 

Kostas86:
The black book wholesale price on an 03 6speed with 50k miles would be about $18,500. If you could get it for $20k or less I think that would be a pretty good deal. Remember, this is an Acura we are talking about. It's a great car, and I don't think that 50k miles is going to hurt it. It's not a bad value for the money. I don't know of any significant problems the 6 speeds are "typically" having.

Rotors are apparently a weak spot. See how the brakes feel with moderate to heavy pedal pressure from about 60mph. You should be able to feel it if the rotors are warped. I would just look the car over good - especially wear items (tires, brakes, etc.) Try to get a good history on the car (maintainence, why so many miles, etc.), run a carfax, and look closely for any previous damage to the car. I hope this helps
