No One Believes It Isn't New

I have had mine for 3 years now. It was very well taken care of and looked and ran like new. Had 78,000 on it when I bought it and now has 122,000 and the main issue is it is leaking tranny fluid. I think it is just a gasket. The driver window did fail, which I understand is a known issue with the car. For an 11 year old car, it is amazing!

All is well with Acura CL

We have a 3.0CL and liked it so much we bought a 2.3CL months later. Both are outstanding. Very different cars to drive, but either is a wonderful choice. The 2.3 is light, fun, super quick, and has a very smooth ride. The 3.0 is heavier, even more luxurious with BOSE & heated seats, is extra quiet, & rides like a limosine. WE love them both and couldn't be happier with them. Great high-end features, comfort,& performance.

ACURA CL.3.0. ONE OF THE BEST!

MY DAD GOT THIS FOR ME AFTER I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL 4 YEARS AGO. THE MILEAGE WAS WAY LOW AND THE CAR WAS NICE IT HAD A REFLECTING LOOK, METALIC GREEN. I CHANGE THE OIL AS EXPECTED AND WHEN ME AND MY FRIENDS GO OUT WE HAVE A GOOD TIME. NEVER FAILED ME ONCE. VERY RELIABLE AND SUPER COOL.

"Most Reliable Car I've Owned"

I have driven a 1998 Acura Cl 2.3 all over the east coast on a weekly basis for the past 3 years and never once has this car failed me. Other then regular maintenance the only thing i have changed is the battery and that was only because my amplifier draws to much power.
