As some of you may know, I have recently gone through the unpleasant experience of having to refuse delivery of my 2003 CL-S due to a multitude of scratches & chips on the body.

I have looked around at other CL-S, BMW 325ci, G35/250Z, etc. I was dead set on getting a nice black 2002 BMW 325ci in the US and importing it here into Canada, until I found out that since their final assembly is in Munich, Germany, I must pay 6.1% upon importing, in addition to the 15% PST/GST Canadian taxes. So then the Bimmer was a no go, and the G35 & 350Z's were too expensive.

Anyways, all that to say, that as I write this, my father is putting a downpayment for me on the below pictured 03 CL-S 6spd (w/o NAV) that only has 18K miles on the clock! I will be flying down in a week and half to pick up the car, and then will be driving it over to Canada!

If any of you have any questions about importing from US to CAN, drop me a line because I'm becoming quite the expert in these procedures!

I'm not sure that the color is called, and sort of wish that it was black because that's as classy as they get, but I'm loving this blue! Looks like the EBP (Electron Blue Pearl?) that was available on 99-00 Civic's, but perhaps a shade darker!

Anyway, here's the pic:



Now tell me which drugstore sells Patience™ pills?

 

Nassau Blue Pearl.
1 of 229 (No Navi) 6 speeds sold in the US.
They made 69 NBP 6 speeds with Navi.

 

Numbers should be 230 No Navi, 68 Navi 6 speeds in Blue.
Much rarer than black - 975 total Black 6 speeds.

 

Cool!

 

I'm wrong again! AEGEAN BLUE PEARL - even better!
Congrats!

 

Where do you find these numbers? you wouldn't happen to know how many black 01 cl-s's were made would you?

 

sexy... how much was your car?

 

Thanx, a hair under 22K USD!

 

Congratulations....again. Good find. Aegean Blue is kinda rare to see on CL's esp. 03's so unless it's a freaky coincidence you won't see many others in your area, if any. Wait till it's freshly washed and under bright lights (like at the gas station). That blue just pops out. You're gonna like it.

 

<---- Envious. I almost had my hands on an ABP 6MT. Beautiful choice and you found a hell of a deal with only 18k miles on the clock.

 

Thanks for the kind words, I do consider myself lucky to have found this one, it's quite a gem.

Though it was tough searching by internet only from Canada! Now I have to go through the complicated process of importing the vehicle.

I also have to install daytime running lights before I can register the vehicle here in Canada, quoted today at 120$ + 4hrs of labor by a local Acura dealer. Riiiight.

 

Damn Canada and their rules

Lucky indeed my friend

 

If your driving through toronto, I can introduce to my local acura tech.... Excellent tech and doesn't charge an arm and leg... He is the only tech who works on my ride at the dealership and does all install work for my on his side time... Pm if interested...

Congrats on your purchase... and best of luck with your mods..

 

Thanks for your suggestion, however Toronto is a far 5 hours away from my home! I know a very good mechanic locally as well, I may be able to work something out with him on the side, who knows!

 

A very dedicated member HohLake figured out the production numbers for the 6 speeds by analyzing VIN numbers. Do a search for 'production numbers.
or click this link
6 SPEED Production Numbers

POST # 34 on that page seems to be the final counts.
POST #35 shows your batch using your VIN #, pretty cool.

 

Sweet!

 

Congrats....Love the color.
