why did you sell? I remember the times you would recommend a person should have a back up cl.
Combination of things, I needed a truck, the CL was a Ohio native and was starting to show it and the mileage was such that I could still get a decent price for it. Once they get another 20 thousand over what I had on mine the price really drops. I would really like another one at some point. Interesting to me was that 3 of the 4 people that inquired including the buyer were previous 03 6spd owners and all wanted another one.
198k on it now. Just had an ignition coil go out (3rd one over the past 10 years). They're a weak point. Replaced all 6 spark plugs also, cleaned out the EGR, which was totally plugged, adjusted the valves, and ran a full intake and fuel system cleaning. So much more power now and I'm sure it'll result in better mileage too.
I recently purchased mine and doing a restore of it currently. VIN# 6686
It currently has 95,555 on the clock but needs some work for restoration.
-Rear engine cradle corrosion (part sourced and ordered)
-Headlights (Just came in)
-Purge valve replace (ordered)
-Brakes (all done, but awaiting parking shoes for rears)
-Rust on the hood (Either patch or replace w/ OEM)
-Full exhaust replace from the cat-back (maybe A-pipe back) <--- on order
-Interior separation needs to be fixed
A bunch of other misc. things too, but she's a good runner and shifter just needs some love. It was maintained for 17 years by a dealership in CT so it has all the fresh Acura parts
Just turned over 200k this weekend. Bought it with about 64k back in 2007. Worked from home most of that time so 10k miles a year, including lots of road trips. Generally put gas in it once a month or less.
original clutch still going strong and no signs of slippage.
