...if the values weren't in the crapper?

I can't say for sure either way but I feel as though I'm stuck with this baby for the long haul whether I like it or not because of my unwillingness to get clobbered on the resale.

To make matters worse, I'm stuck with a car whose tranny could go at any moment.

Bummer.

 

I bought my 01 CLS last year for $16,500 so I have no complaints here other then I love the car and wish they could fix the tranny isuues.. Otherwise I will sell it before 100k..

 

I'm definitely in for the long hall... especially with all the mods on her... and I just ordered rims/tires/big brake kit... not much left to do except maybe the CT clutch/flywheel... she's a keeper...

 

NOPE, I'm quite happy with my purchase.

 

I kept mine and bought a G35C for a beater i love th CLS and will probably never get rid of it

 

I sold my white 6 speed, took months, but I lucked out at the last minute and found a happy local buyer, ( I was gonna trade in to dealer for a lot less!!!

So it's been a week, but I'm not missing it cause I'm getting a better! 6 speed tomorrrow! well, better color, with Navi, half the mileage, w/spoiler, clear bra and 6 months younger. anthracite. wish me luck.

 

 

If I didn't get raped for insurance I would never think of selling my car, but once I found out I was going to pay 6k a year for insurance I wanted to sell it.

And that F'ing rattle in the back, I am so annoyed with at.

but right now, I wont sell it, I would be killed with resale value and my financial retardation.

 

gonna have to sell in about a year when I have about 75K miles on it. It will be extra worthless at 100K.

 

Various issues aside... the way it can accelerate like a beast.. and manuever... so nimble... and 'communication/control' we feel with the thing at the time - It's one 'passionate' auto.. and I am keeping it just because of the best for the buck fun factor.
When over 100kmiles time comes, tranny replacement will be down in the $2-3k range... For all of the above... and the prices of a new coupe... - it would still be worthwhile.

Ironic.. when I was shopping for mine [April '01]... they couldn't give them away.... i.e. I got $6k off msrp, later they had leases here of $0 driveoff with $429 :o !!

Keeping mine.. most definitely...

 

regardless of resale value, it's gone shortly after the turbo legacy arrives at dealerships.





















but, i'll badge my subaru with an acura emblem so that i can still post on this board and feel good about it.:P

 

Mine is for sale within the next 12 months.
I'm done with it. This is the longest I've ever kept a car.

I think it could use ANOTHER transmission replacement though. It slips a little between 1st and 2nd.

 

i plan to to put about 300k miles on my CL before another car.

 

Mine goes up for sale as soon as they start taking pre-orders for the AWD RL Coupe .

 

I drove my last car for 9 years. It felt good not to have to make car payments ever month. I'll probably won't keep my CLS as long tho'.

I don't mind the resale bit as much now. When I first realized the resale was in the crapper, it sucked. I bought an Acura because it was surposed to have a great resale value I'll still make out better then I did on my ford when I do goto sell/trade it.

I don't think that there's anything out there that I would trade my CLS 6spd for anyways. Until something comes along that is better then the CLS, I don't think I'll be tempted anyways to make a switch.

 

me too

I thought it was an AWD TL coupe. Time to change your sigline

 

I did it last week when I saw the RL pics.

see below

 

I miss my CLS a bit. If they made an AWD coupe I'd certainly be interested. In the meantime I guess it might end up with a TSX. I just wish the TSX had some balls. =\

I don't feel like paying $33k for a G35 AWD Sedan that I don't find very attractive inside or out, just to get 260hp again and more tq.

Maybe the Altima SE-R that comes out in September will be a decent choice and good price, but I doubt I can go all summer without a decent car. =p

 

I saw a 2k3.5 G35 sedan today at the dealer w/13k miles for 26k...probably could talk the dealer down to 24k-25k...not too bad. Although I have no plans to sell the TLS anytime soon..I am stuck with her!

 

ill sell mine once i can afford an m3, even though i payed out my ass for my cls

 

My Lease is almost up and I wish i could keep her but the next car imma buy is this beast here.


I know it wont come out till 2007 but I'll wait and drive my '69 Camaro RS till then
