Hey guys... i just got a sweeet CL type s... salvage... body is beautiful... its a light flood for those who want details.. no body damage..not a scratch..though the right seat side air bag is deployed... acura quoted me 2500$..thats wild.. are there cheaper places... i mean i guessi could just sow it back up (the seat) and not have an airbag there..

i bought the car for 7800 black/spoiler/2001 type s w/ navigation and 86k the miles bum me out.. did i get a deal or no?

Runs great fyi

Interesting... explain "light flood"?

phipark

Well...Considering the end price is $10,300 for a salvage title. I would say that's a very bad deal.

You're gonna need a new side airbag AND a new seat cover + installation.

Lord Helmet

I want to know why the airbag is deployed. Accident? Or did some ignoramous try to slim-jim it, not knowing it had side impact airbags?

Was the car in an accident, then repaired, hence the "salvage". Or is the "salvage" due to water damage?


I want more details.

mikhaiii

haha you actually made a good point ...i would never thought if they did try to slim jim it..maybe or something..never know..no accidents.. one of the nicest cls asthetically that ive seen..

so..ya... power seats dont more forward back..but they do recline... no lowbeams..but have high beams.s. and freaking airbag... i wont pass inspection until i fix it

no repainting nothing... this was a car registered toa business ...guess it was taken care of ...oh the flood... flooded probably a few inches above the carpets...

take a tape measure and measure where you think the flood water rose to and walk around the car and see where that is.... engine, interior.

My guess is the power seats are fried from the water. Engine electrical?

Lord Helmet

That's what I was thinking too. Water must have been fairly high and hit the headlights too. I'm guessing the invertors are bad from water damage. That's gonna be pricey.

Lord Helmet

Oh, and IMHO, I think you should drop whatever it is you're doing with this car, don't put a dime into it, take LOTS of pics, and part it out in the Black Market. You might do pretty well by this.

Too bad it has a spoiler already. I as going to ask you how you felt about trading trunklids. LOL!

damn dude. i don't know what to tell you. wait, yes i do. you get what you pay for. you get enough problems with a non-salvaged car and getting the kind that you did is just asking for it.

This car didn't come out of New Orleans did it?
