Question Should I trade my TL for an 03 CL 6 speed?

Ok guys, I love my 2000 TL but I have been given an oppertunity to get a 2003 CL Type-S w/nav.

Here is the deal, my friend works at Mike Harvey Acura and someone traded in a 2003 CL Type-S w/nav. I told him if one comes in, I want it. Of course that was back in 2001. The 2003 is the White Diamond CL Type-S with the 6 Speed M/T. And if any of you guys are interested they are asking 25,500.00. The milage is 32k. The only draw back is the the interior is beige, not black.

What do you guys think? I think he also mentioned it's Acura Certified, which gives an extra year of bumper to bumper warranty. If any of you guys are interested please ask for Mike Chang, I rather he get the commission than someone else, tell him Myron gave teh info about the CL.

Maybe I may have picked it up already by the time anyone here see's it...

Should I or Shouldn't I...I am headed there in 30 min to see it and test drive...

I drove it this afternoon around 5pm and it was smooth. I wish I could have both...but I think I will pass. They only offered me 10 for a trade, so i would have 10-15k to pay still.

Oh well, I think I will go down again this weekend and drive it some more...just to get it out of my system.

I'd take it just cuz the 6-speed is such a rarity. You don't have to deal with the tranny problems associated with the auto, and you'd probably get the resale value right back when you sell it out. I say massage the numbers with them and see if you like the offer. No harm done except for maybe a few lost hours listening to their BS sales tactics.

N.A.D.A is 23,050 and the loan value is 18,025 and trade- in is 20,025 . It all depends on if you want a 4d or 2d auto or 6- speed. Me personally I would never down grade.

How is it downgrading? Going from a 00 TL to an 03 CLS 6spd is an upgrade. I would do it, especially because then, the worries about tranny problems are gone forever.

Talk them down so you only have to pay about 8k and that's a great deal. That car is worth almost twice what your car is worth with lets say 75kmiles. Go for it. 6speed CL-S w/Navi in three years newer, probably less miles than yours. Get it!
