1. Price: $7900
2. Mileage: 91,900
3. Color, Transmission-auto or manual, Navi: Silver, 6 speed manual with navigation
4. Reason for selling: to purchase a bmw m5 or bmw 840
5. Location: Austin, TX
6. Pictures: Build/Photo thread since 2010 purchase
7. Are you the first owner? 2nd owner, purchased from azine member Thinjim in 2010 with 62,700 miles. I've driven it 29k miles in 4 1/2 years.
8a. Title is clean/clear/rebuilt/salvage/if other, explain further (select one): Clean title
8b. Do you have title in hand or it is being held by a lienholder: In hand
9. VIN (would be nice to have but I can understand that some people do not want to publicly post this): By request, PM or email austintaper@gmail
10. Modifications:
12. If leased, provide details, such as length of lease, payoff amount, etc.: N/A paid off
I bought this from Thinjim in '10 and it has been garaged ever since, always maintained and washed/waxed often. You'll be hard pressed to find a cleaner car. No maintenance issues, problems or otherwise to disclose. Everything works perfectly, no rips, tears or issues on interior and exterior had PDR to get a few dings out, smooth as glass throughout. There is a minor rock chip on hood, otherwise no issues with paint. If needed, I can raise the car before sale, if it's too low for any buyers. The coilovers are fully adjustable for both height and dampening. All major 105k service is already done, all this car needs is headers, CAI and maybe S/C and you're done. Since it was my daily, I avoided the major performance upgrades and was holding out for some eventual Comptech headers but now I'm leaning towards selling to get one of my favorite cars, either a low mileage 90's BMW 840 or an E39 M5. I've loved this CL and hope it goes to someone who appreciates what fun these cars are. Email or pm me with any questions. No lowball offers, no need/hurry to sell.
For reference if it helps anyone who may consider shipping, when I bought in '10, transport shipping estimates from Florida to Texas ranged from $500-700 for open or $600-1000 for enclosed trailer. I went enclosed and was very pleased, paid 675 I believe from Miami to Austin.

10. Modifications:
- AMR coilovers,
- Ingalls control arms front and back,
- RL Calipers w/ Russell Stainless Lines
- Brakemotive slotted/drilled rotors (barely used less than 10k miles),
- p-spec short shifter,
- Comptech exhaust, resonator delete,
- true carbon fiber on console sills,
- BMW M5 trunk lip,
- rolled fenders,
- Optima battery, brand new w/ less than 5k miles, relocated to trunk and mounted in custom bracket, perfect fit and cabling.
- Wheels are limited edition 18x8.5 Aspecs (most are 18x8), gunmetal.
- 3 of 4 wheels are 10/10 condition, mint. The last wheel is an 8or9/10 due to penny sized curb rash, minor. I will also include a full sized 18x8 Aspec, heavy rash on it though, as I bought it only to use as a full sized spare tire to clear the RL calipers since the stock CL spare will not clear. The other option for those interested, is to get a spare from an 06 TL w/ Brembos, as those spare tires will clear if you don't want to haul a full sized spare in your trunk.
