well guys, its been a fun ride with the CL-S... but its time for me to move on. i must say i had a blast with the cl-s, especially spending a crapload of money modding it but i just cant stand FF anymore, especially on such a long and heavy car. Seriously, if the CL-S was RWD it would be 10x more the car it is.

i haven't decided whether or not im going to part out my cl-s before i sell it, i dont have stock parts to swap my modd'd parts with so im not sure. but if i do i'll definitely post in the black market

my replacement? S4 or M3 if i can get a good deal on the financing. if not i'll settle with a 330ci or mayne 330xi, E46 though since i dont like the new E90's i think they look messed up

its been nice meeting you all, and by no means will i be a stranger... probably lurk in ramblings if anything. i'll post pics of my replacement as soon as i get it.

good luck to you Rez.. and yeah do not be a stranger.

 

good luck REZ, I know you had it rough with the CL. Dont settle for the 330.

 

Take care and good luck - as Mark307 said, "Dont settle for the 330."

Why not try to get employee pricing on a 2005 Corvette coupe?

Good luck..... Btw was offered between $12500 this weekend for my 01 CLS with 63000miles......

Was trading in for a 05 645Ci, i looked at the M3 nice but i like a larger coupe...



I looked at the black book numbers and i see the local BMW dealer is low balling me

So i'm holding out until they decide... to give me a better # on the trade, or i'll wait for the 650Ci

Black Book Trade-In as of 09/05/05
Clean Average Rough
Base $14,820 $13,500 $10,385
Options $0 $0 $0
Mileage ($825) ($550) $0
Total $13,995 $12,950 $10,385

 

Good luck with your next purchase... As other on this site you don't have to leave eh... just cuz you sold your car...

 

haha.. i definitely wont be leaving. i will also be going to meets as they come up since a-cl members i've met have been pretty cool. i am actually getting a good deal on a private sale (wont be stating the price until the deal's through but its a good price, im including all my mods in it)

dealers that i've been seeing have been giving me not such great deals on M3 and S4... i saw a white 330xi six speed with premium and sport package that i really liked. the clutch is a bit finicky and its been sometime since i drove a manual car but i think i'll get used to it. if i do go for the 330xi i think i'll go for the ac schnitzer kit and wheels, but im not sure yet. AWD sounds really good to me since theres a crapload of snow up in binghamton and i need to drive everyday to my job so... im not sure.

i'll definitely let you guys know what i get though! thanks for your sentiments.

i wont definitely be a stranger

Don't have too much fun with the new car, with out thinking of us. Good luck with it. The Xi is a sedan only, isn't it?

 

One word... Quatro.

 

Take care Rez. you can't leave, no one ever really leaves

Robert, on a side note of the 6 series bimmer coupe, holy lack of a trunk on such a long car I was behind a guy at a gas station the other day, and all he had room for was his golf clubs... I expected more.

 

Andy, I know its half the size of the CL trunk, i was suprised myself for such a big coupe. Not only that but in the back seats there is more room in the CL Vs the 6series. Again in my mind i'm like this is what $80000 is buying me

 

My thoughts exactly

 

Take care man. Hope the new ride works out good.

 

You selling anything from your car? I am interested in a bunch of your stuff.

 

yeah i'd go for that xi.. RWD in upstate NY in the winter is a rough one... esp those lovely curvy roads down route 17

 

im pretty sure im going to go for the xi, what color should i go, white or silver?

yea the snow up here is intense. i'll be swapping the tires out with snow tires with the xi and hopefully i'll be able to travel through the hills around my area... there was NO way even with snow tires i could get around safely even at 2 mph with my CL... goddamn hills

well anyhow, one thing i'll miss is the reliability of the acura. aside from the transmission this car gave me no problems... the previous bmw i've owned tended to have a bunch of little things just give out randomly time to time, whether it be window regulator or something on the dash... but when the car does work right, oh man it definitely is the ultimate driving machine

hopefully will get the new car in a few weeks at the latest, gotta get these deals done. thanks for your sentiments

p.s. i saw the 6 series at the dealer showroom, and you know to be honest it just looks like a coupe version of the 7 series... and i was never really a fan of the 7 series... although between the mb CLS and the 6 series i would def go with the 6. the mb cls looks like shit IMO. now the new M5.... thats a different story... im half considering selling my kidney to buy it

 

tony STICK AROUND bro...

go w/ the s4 ... so what car are you pimpin in the meantime? still got the TSX? Let me know if you got any parts you wanna get rid of, I"LL pay you in green
