If you’ve been waiting to snag one of Honda/Acura’s overlooked gems, this is your shot. Find this 2003 Acura CL Type S 6-speed coupe listed in Encinitas, CA for $6,500 via Facebook Marketplace.

Issues:

Radio and stereo don’t work but speakers function so just needs a fix or a new head unit (i recommend one that has a rear camera for reversing that comes with it)

Front brakes need to be replaced soon.
