What does an 03 CLS w/ 6-speed go for?

Hey guys...

I'm new here. What will a new CL-S with a 6-speed sell for these days at an Acura dealer? I'm thinking about leasing one if the price is right. I don't want to get ripped off, so I thought I would post here first.

Thank You,

PJ

I'd say:

$27,000 - no NAVI
$28,250 - NAVI

Lease numbers suck on this car now...not what they were in 02, etc. Residuals are lower & the special rates are gone...not to mention 03 is almost gone so you'll be eating a ton of depreciation.

You can probably pick up a clean used one for $23>24K. Finance it, payments will be the same anyhow.

Check the mileage and hopefully the clutch hasn't been beat on

Would be nice if I could fine a used one for 23k or so that I can lease that has already eaten some of the depreciation.

You should never lease a used car. That's a big financial mistake.

Why are you intent on leasing this car? Are you payment shopping? To finance = $450 x 60 months for $24K loan. Assuming 5% rate.

36 month lease on an 03 CLS is gonna be in the same ballpark payment + you'll be out the money down.

I don't think anyone here is paying under $425 or so/month unless they put a couple thousand down.

I bought my new 03 6 spd(non-navi) for $26,900 OTD.

You can find them on the used market for $24Kish. I almost bought one with 21K miles for $23,999 before I bought the new one. Of course, you have to do some walking into the dealerships...you aren't going to see those numbers on Autotrader(since those are retail numbers).

When they see you are serious & are sitting at the desk across from the finance manager...you'll get the $24Kish...especially in this used car market...

Wow, that a good price (for a buyer).

When I see prices like these, it make me think that my CLS 6spd is a keeper (200,000 miles kind of keeper).

At Rick Case acura I saw like 6 new cl-s parked outside, and a few more in the back lot. Of course they are the largest acura dealer in the world though. I know you can get a new 03 non navi for $26k easily there.,I have seen sticker prices as low as $27K.

Acura in Dover, DE has 1 blue 6 speed, non-navi.

And about 2 weeks ago, PAA had a white 6 speed non-navi on their showroom floor...that's the one I almost bought(tan interior).

I already had an '03 6-speed Maxima. Was a lot of fun, but got rid of it to buy my S2K.

I was starting to miss Tom2 and Torqueaholic, but I guess that there's always someone who can "stir the pot"

CrazySellout, at least recommend something that's German (they hunt in packs)

So you are implying that the CL-S has some degree of "gayness"

Get a clue dumbass, the 02-03 Maxima is NOT slower, but instead runs nearly identical times as the CL-S 6 speed when it also has a 6 speed.
