hmm, still considering it
Well, the car seems to be in fantastic shape, and the salesman said they'd be willing to put a new timing belt, water pump and re-seal the engine before I bought it (at no additional cost). They are asking 14k for it but I'd expressed my misgivings about the tranny and the fact that it takes premium and gets worse gas mileage than the acura i'm driving now and told him i wouldn't pay more than 10k for it and they're actually considering it (now i wish i had told him 8 or 9 lol)
Thats still a lot of miles and with gas going up, i still have concerns. Although, it would lower my car payment and it has about as many miles as my acura does, so its still makes some financial sense if it'll last longer than my acura. From what i hear, the CL's really start falling apart after 100k and i'm starting to feel it. The tranny in this car sucks and i expect it to start slipping any time now.
One other thing...are the 2.5 turbos interferance engines? I know the 3.3's aren't but i wasn't sure about the 2.5's
