Default Can someone tell me what they think about this CL?

I'm thinking about buying this car.



Price $10,500
Mileage 71,000
Exterior Color Black
Interior Color Charcoal
Transmission 4 Speed Automatic with Electronic Overdrive

The lady has all service records and all the maintaince was done on time. A few dings here and there, one small rust spot, but other than that it's in great condition.

I don't know a WHOLE lot about CL's, so I'm wondering if any of you can tell me what you think. Thanks.

My mom had a 99 3.0CL and had no problems at all.

She was T-boned by a grandma goin 50, not wearing her seatbelt, and walked without a scratch. The g-ma was rockin a new towncar and it suffered more damage than my moms CL.

Very safe car

10k seem kinda steep...i think 8000k or so would be more appropriate. The newer cls and tls nowadays are selling at that price range - 10k-14k

They arnt as bad as 2nd gen cls or tls but they can be faulty as well. They have the same tranny as the 6th gen accord v6's which have been shown to have some problems as well. (I know first hand as my tranny went out on my 6th gen accord v6)
