I love these cars so much. I own two, one automatic, and one 6 speed. Bought the six speed to swap into my automatic, which has full bolts on, including a J35A3 swapped into it. already have the transmission, wiring, and everything needed for the swap out, and every part has been cleaned up. Just gotta wait for the funds for the P2R headers to replace my welded on DC sports. Underrated cars. Not to mention, my girl also owns a CL-S 6 speed. So we have 3 CLs in the family, two that are 6 speeds. Plus a 3G TL as the daily. All out Acura J series family.

They used to be under 10k for a decently well kept one before the used car market got crazy. Now I can't even find one anymore. I almost pulled the trigger on one 4 years ago but a week after the owner re-listed it for $1500 because the idiot blew the manual transmission on it. It was the only manual 2003 CL I've seen listed close to my area since.
