should i purchase a cl or 96 na supra or 323ci

Well ive narrowed my choices to three cars. CL-s or 96 Supra Na or 323ci Bmw which one would you guys get. CL-s with 30,000 miles on it. Supra has 40,000 on it and the 323 ci has 30,000 miles on it. I would love to get a Cls but im scared of the tranny i dont want to injure me or my love ones. SO what do you think? Any comments will heko

CLs will kill both those cars. Now if the supra was a turbo, it would be a different conversation, although the 323ci is a nice car.

a NA supra is a waste of time, it will never be what its TURBO brother is and you would ALWAYS have turbo-envy. 323 is nice but my god.....those things are weak.

out of those 3 choices, the CL-S, without question

if it is for speed/performance. get the CLS.. to convert an N/A supra to turbo will cost big $$$$ unless your just going for looks.. then i would get the supra and put a sick widebody kit and 20s..

A N/A supra is a waste and a tease. What would be the point in that?

Everyone knows that the turbo one is the only one worth any value.


A 323CI? That is a poor man's BMW. It truly is. I'd get the 330CI if I were you.


the CL-S?

Everyone has had good and bad experiences with it.
They don't make them anymore. You won't see them on the road like every other BMW 323 CI.

They are the perfect blend of luxury and power.
We have a decent amount of mod's.

Transmission? LOL! That's a fucking stupid excuse. There have been NUMEROUS service bulletins about how the Transmission is covered should it fail.
They pushed the warranty to 100K on it!


Don't rely on a car board to decide on what you need to use to get from point a to point b.


Think about the logic behind those choices.

Supra still has 222hp which is pretty adequate . I would get the Supra...don't see too many of them around . But the CL-S would have a warranty...tough choice...definitly not the Beemer though .

Oh and btw, I'm sure if he had an extra 5-7g he might be considering getting something other than a 323. So if thats the case definitely get the CLS.

Absolutely a CLS. No question about it. This is mostly an objective question.

This is just my opinion. Always get the strongest version in the model if you are a car enthusiast. For example, always get the twin turbo version when you buy Supra, always buy the Type S when you consider CL, always buy a V6 when you go for a Accord, always go for a M3(or at least 330Ci) when buying a 3 series coupe.........haha pretty shallow huh.....but that's how I think......So, get the 3.2CL Type S.

These cars are pretty different. But the SUpra ownsz ONLY if your going to mod it and turbo it. Otherwise get a CL-S. 323s, I really can't consider them to be luxury cars to much.
