your CL or CLS past the 100,000 mile mark? I would especially like to hear from members who have had their trannys replaced. Thanks.

I'm kind of in limbo right now... I usually keep my cars for 100K+ miles, but after having a tranny swap I'm wondering if I should get out while I can. However, not having a car payment is pretty nice...

I dunno. If the right opportunity came along, I'd really consider it.

Minger

I know what you mean regarding not having any car payments...I only owe $10k then it's mine, however with the blown tranny I had a few months ago and 20k miles left on the warranty I think I'm going to let her go.

The only thing that really interests me is the Subaru STI (thankfully I'm #2 on the list). The G35c 6 spd is nice too, but I don't get the heebee geebees when I think about the STI

Still undecided though due to the STI's low rent interior, but I think I can over look that!

eclipse23

No, she's leaving probably within the next 3,000 miles. I should be hitting 63K when she goes back.

lrutt

no, would not be able to take the gamble on this POS.

Wouldve kept this car as long it kept running (nearly) trouble-free. But knowing ACURA's tranny problem becomes OUR problem after 100k is not exactly comforting.

Peace of mind (reliability) was a huge factor for me in considering this car and its not exactly playing out well. If it wasnt, then i'd be driving a bmw right now.

Acura needs to do a recall otherwise its outta here...

Six Shifter

why not? had 188K on my Legend, 201K on my Toy 4x4, and since I don't have the POS auto tranny, see no reason that this one won't easily see the 100K+ mark.

Aegean_Blue6

Hoping to keep it 100K, but I too have the non-defective (knock on wood) manual transy. Other than the slushbox, from the more senior folks on the board the only other gripes in reliability seem to be the rotors and the rattles. I'll get some Brembo blanks sometime (if I need 'em), and with any luck she should run well for me for 100K+.

ktgumbo

IT will be in the paper at 95k or so. I currently only have like 37k, so im good for about 3- 4 years

fender4

It's on the 10 year 200k plan,, (if?) replacing a tranny is needed,, so what,, still cheaper than the cost of a new car every three years..

Doc.Booty

I'll keep it as long as i can. I love my car.

Zapata

Yes

dgracer

I also normally keep a car 6-7 years and 100k or so (I drive 17k per year). I still like it at 49k but am a little afraid of the tranny issue too. I might let it go at 80 or 90k. I am on the original tranny....knock wood. I owe about $8k on it now.

ChucksTL_RENAMED

So far so good on my '00 TL....149,264 miles and same tranny, and I'm pretty hard on it too. I downshift on the highway to 4th or 3rd all the time. Lucky so far I guess.

Fabvsix

Well my situation is my CLS is paid for, so I have TOO much to lose at this point, so I'll be keeping for a long time or till I get tired of it, so far, I'm still in LOVE with it ! :P

GreenMonster

I've got 136K on my tbird, which I've owned for the 9 years. I plan on keeping my CLS for about the same. I had a 60 month loan on the tbird, so it was paid off about 4 years ago. It was so nice not to have to make a car payment every month.

URIRx98

lost my tranny at 25k, got rid of car at 42 with 4 months remaining on lease. NOw driving MIDNIGHT BLUE ACURA MDX, sweet as ride.

I'll be keeping mine for quite some time...I love her! Of course, if tranny #3 goes, then I'll see about some other options. See my sig

Chaptorial

I'll be keeping her for a good amount of time. Maybe not 100k miles but she's not going anywhere soon.

jucee187

The CLS is going to be a classic..with the cleanest trunk ive seen ever produced (with the badges removed) and also since its discontinued.. =) I will keep my car, it will make an excellent/stylish winter beater...

Zootking

at first i was planning on keeping mine til the wheels fell off, but now im also in limbo about it, hell the other day i almost traded it in for a new Chevy truck, but who knows, i love the way it rides.....

TypeSKid

I'm keeping mine until sometime after next Feb. That's when my tickets drop off and my insurance drops BIG TIME.

I've never even had a ticket in the CL! And I've had it for 3 years. Things from the past haunting me still!


So after next Feb, I'll sell it, and get an //M3. Prolly a certified pre - owned one with low miles! NO more NEW Cars EVER again. I took a bath on the CL-S!

Red-CL

Mine hasn't given me any problems yet (besides warped rotors) so I'll wait and see what happens as I get closer to 100K.

Bulldog01

Careful what you say...with our luck it'll happen.

DigiBox

I've had my CL (1998 2.3) for almost 5 years now. Getting close to 100K. I am going to sell it in a couple of weeks and getting something new.

I must admit, I've met some cool peeps at the CL meets!!! People I'll be hanging out with for a while!!

If I had a CL type S, I don't know what I would do. They are a hell of a lot nicer than my 1st gen..

Wayne

Warranty runs out in 4 years so sometime between the 3rd and 4th year I'll trade it in/sell it unless nothing out there appeals to me (unlikely).
