good idea or bad idea?

hey guys, i found a 2003 CL-S 6spd smr for $12k, with 90k miles on it. its in pretty decent condition, aside from the worn out leather seats. I currently own a 2000 TL fpr with 75k miles that i just bought in may. this is the closest CL-s i found, test drove it and loved every bit of it. if everything works out, i should be paying around the same a month. do you guys think its a good idea or bad idea?

heres the CL-S


This is my TL


tell me what you think!

its a nice solution to the tranny problems with our TL's but 90K is alot of miles for a used CL-S.....but thats only my opinion....good luck with whatever you decide to do man

like i said it would be a good solution to the tranny problem

90K for a 3 year old cars seem very high milage.
Have you had a chance to have a mechanic look at it?

Didn't you have an OEM kit for your TL-P? Yes its an alternative to tranny deaths, but just think of how many times you have to get out of that worn, leather seat to let your homies get in!


You win some and you lose some...

wow what a deal.. i would move on it in a heartbeat if the car checks out! A worn leather seat can be fixed for under 500 bucks, and it would be much cheaper if you shop around.
