Hi All,

Quick Question, If I purchase a 01 CL from a dealer other than an Acura dealer, am I still covered with the 7/100,000 extended warranty?

There is a great deal on an 01 at a local nissan dealer and I don't want to pass it up!

thanks

G-UNIT

yes....

dallison

i am going to say prob not. it would have to be purchased thru acura to get the certification. i don't know if anyone else on the board knows if it had the 7yr/100k warranty before does that carry over if sold at a non acura dealership??
and can it be taken to acura to get the warranty, i am thinking yes on that part

dallison

good question though

Ask the dealer. 100K is only for the tranny...

G-UNIT

Best thing is to call Acura...

BY PHONE
Monday through Friday, 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM Pacific Standard time at the toll-free number (800) 382-2238

WILLDOGS

Yeah, that is what I meant, the tranny.

The tranny is my biggest concern. If the tranny is covered till 100,000k no matter where I buy the car, then I will be satisfied.

Thanks

WILLDOGS

THanks for the number!

PS, I went to a local "award winning" acura dealer and saw a 01 White CL with 40,000mi and they wanted $20k just cause it was certified.

He would not budge with the price bacuse it was certified. Is that BS?

There are tons of other dealers selling CL's with less milage for about 16-17k. He didn't care.

G-UNIT

Ya, its tuff to budge when they are "Honda/Acura Certified"... My sis just bought a 01 V6 Accord, and since it was "Silver Certified" they would only go down $500.....So you should be able to knock the price down at least a cpl hundred.....BUT, if you really love the car...then even if they dont budge....you should still be happy with the CL...I love my car, and so do MOST of the others here...you wont be disappointed....
PS - Is it a TYPE-S or Premium?, I personally love the white color on the CL with parchment interior....

WILLDOGS

Thats what it was! White on Parchment! It was beautiful.

It was a premium, but still nice. I'll take either. I am guessing type-s is a big more expensive on insurance... no?

Linner

No change in insurance, only change is when you go to a sports car like a vette, stang or camaro I believe. The cls is not considered a sports car. My insurance actually went down when I went from a 01 maxima to a 01 cls.

dallison

mine stayed about the same, 01max to 02 frontier to 01 clp

G-UNIT

cl/cl-s is the same on insurance...i traded my wifes 03 civic for the CL-S, and my insurance went up $5 month.......so its not bad at all....

WILLDOGS

Ok guys need your help BAD!

I just put a deposit on a 01 CL with 37k miles.

Looks just like this one...

This is the offer as low as I could get it

Price $17,999
Tax $1599@ 8.65%
Prep$ 549
Tags, plates $139

$20,300 total out the door.

Good? Bad? Need quick answers

Thanks

riceburner503

Its a good deal but you might want to negotiate some more.

WILLDOGS

Maybe I can get them to knock down the prep?

hmm

proaudio22

Eh....that would be a good price for a CL-S....

WILLDOGS

I argued with the finance manager for an hour explaining why I felt the price was still too high, but she wouldn't budge.

I may back out of this one, but I can't find anything below 17900 around here..

WILLDOGS

To give you an idea of prices, here is a dealer near me

proaudio22

For $17,9 - I'd take the 5K more miles on that CL-S. That CL-P on that page is $17,5 with 5K less miles than that one you posted above. I'd push for $16,9 for that CL-P.

TypeSKid

RIP OFF. Keep looking!

dallison

never pay for prep. 549$ for what ?? waxing? decline that and you have saved 549. also if you go thru acura they may still have the 4.9% financing on the used certified as long as yer credit is good and it seems ok if the other place was to give you 8.49%

if you go with the 20,300@8.49 416.39 per month
acura 20,300@ 4.9% 382.16

and you should be able to find a clp for about 17-18K

WILLDOGS

Thanks for the info guys! I'll see what I can do and let you know

WILLDOGS

She said she HAS to charge the $549 prep

dallison

i'd ask what they do for that price

dallison

it's nice to see that the price of clp's isn't moving much. i paid 19k for mine last may 1k under book. the price hasnt changed much

WILLDOGS

Well, I got it.

Got her down to $16,900 + Tax & Title. They didn't try to sell me headlight fluid or anything lol.

Welcome me to the club, I pick it up tomorrow!!!

Pics to follow.

Yay

dallison

WILLDOGS

The finance manager hated me lol

She said I drove the hardest bargain she had seen in a long time.
