Should I buy a 2003 CL (non type-S) w/ 22k miles?
I am looking for some of your thoughts?
I found a stock 2003 CL for sale at what I think is a very good price (priced below "good" condition dealer trade-in value). It has under 22,000 miles and in prestine shape.
I have a couple of concerns. 1) That is a lot of miles on a car that is less than a year old. 2) Should I be concerned with all of the tranny problems I am reading on this site? 3) How accurate is the gas mileage? 4) How many recalls are there on this year and make? (I have read about a timing belt issue and a camshaft issue. Anything else?)
What do you all think a good price would be and any insite on the above listed questions would be greatly appreciated!
Also, what else should I look for before purchasing this car? THANKS!!!

you should be able to get a type-s for around that price. actually it would be a little more, but would be worth it imo.
03 do not have road lamps, 01-02 do. but they are hardly fog lamps.
the biggest problem w/ the auto's is the tranny. but acura extended the trans warranty to 100K mi.
