I'm trading my 03 TLS for an 01 or 02 CLS with nav.

what i have found thus far:
01 cls nav blk on blk with 60,000 miles for $18,300
02 cls nav red on blk with 22,00 miles for $22,750


what car would you buy?

(any help at this point would be greatly appreciated)

 

Most definitely the '02. Lower miles, '02 upgrades, etc. You can talk them down off that price too. I'm sure you could get it for around $20,500.

 

You can't find an 03 for 15k?

 

I wish.

03 cls with nav for 15K would be NICE

 

Listen if you can find an 03 for 15k please pm me

 

For that price, I'll trade in my 02 cls navi silver/black with 34,000 miles

 

Zero chance of that happening. Unless it looks like this:






Our re-sale value might suck... but it ain't that bad.

 

try to find someone who can get you to an auction, my buddy picked up an 02 w/ a little under 30K, navi, body and paint are mint, car also included full maintnence records all for $12.9K

 

You'd be very suprised at what dealers are trading these cars at these days

 

what changes are there from 01 to 02 if any?

 

I thought they were going for even less, but I could be wrong. I can tell you first hand that the navigation system is deadly accurate and a "Must have". I travel all over the state of Maryland and am never in the same place twice in the same week. I haven't looked at a map or been lost in a long time. Make sure that they throw in the latest version of the navigation CD too, it has tons more info on it.

It's funny, it takes me places other than the roads that I've traveled for years, I just tell myself, "Trust the navi... trust the navi..." and bingo, I'm there.

THis thread should outline the differences

 

Out of curiosity, why would you trade an '03 TL-S in for an '01-'02 CL-S? I'd keep the TL-S, unless I missed something.

 

So you're trying to say I could get an '03 CL-S with under 30k miles for close to $15k? Doubtful.

 

without a doubt, the 02

 

keep the TLS

 

did you just miss my post about what my buddy paid for his 02? There is a difference between dealer trading price and dealer asking price



15K may be a little low right now, but they'll be there in very short time. I'll try to get a listing from the next auction and see if any 03's go through. 01's have gotten down to as low as 10,XXX from what i've heard.

 

Buying from an auction is much different than buying from a dealer.

 

looking at buying another house and i want to free up some cash.

my TLS with nav is a GREAT car but the CLS with nav will be just as good and cost me less per month.

 

02 all the way... lower mileage, and features... neg. a bit more... you can get the price down good luck..

 

didn't I say that :o
