Good news would be my car randomly blowing up without me in it and me getting a fat insurance check.

I don't even want to hear it!

I bought mine with 54k on it 2 years ago and I have just about 107k now!

That means that no tranny warranty even if it is covered under the extension...

For a moment I thought this was going to be one of those "my car got totaled" threads...

50K was big for me, 'cause my warranty ended...

I can't complain, this is my work car. I travel every week about 250-300 miles each way. I get reimbursed 48.5 cents per mile now according to new IRS rate. I love tax free money and especially since the CL-S has low maintanence cost.

One way trip from Pittsburgh, PA to Baltimore, MD
250 miles * 48.5 cents = $121.25
250 miles uses 9 gallons of gas at 2.60 per gallon = -$23.40

I gross about $100 each way that is tax free money. Got to love the gas mileage of the CL-S on the highway and the reliability.

I love my highway cruiser.

75,000 on mine now. 5 payments and already 13,000 miles more than I bought it with. I'm just happy I have 30,000 + more to go on the tranny warranty!

I thought I was the only one! Turned 50k driving back from my mother's on CMas day. Actually make a point of it to my girlfriend. She sighed and said "I guess it's time for you to start looking again?"

I had my CL for a bit over 2 years and added about 60K to the odometer.

At your rate, in about a year and a half or so you can have another thread for going over 60K.

Ok well i thought I would have the highest but some of you beat me. I am running 133,000. But get this. I was looking to trade in my acura for an 03' type s Manual and the dealer told me he would only give me 5,500 for mine. Is this fair?

Now, the reasons he told me that were, i have a custom grill (I have the oldparts and can put them on), intake, my windsheild is cracked, and my mirror will not stay on. The shop at the dealer told me that the reason the mirror will not stay on is because the windsheild is not oem. So replacing the cracked windsheild should fix the mirror problem. Oh and the high mileage.

I'm thinking I shoud pay some of my CLP off and get an '03 6mt! I'm not sure I want to invest money into a car so old though...

Maybe I'll get an '06TL 6MT...

I almost don't want to buy a FWD though... Such confusion! I'm at 106656 miles (ten more miles until the devils numer takes my tranny, lol) so I don't know what I'ma do...

Lexus maybe?
