As Acura's first U.S.-built car, the Accord-based CL offers accessible Japanese performance and style. It's the rare 2003 Type-S, with its exclusive one-year-only 6-speed manual transmission, that represents the peak of collectibility for the model.
Typical sold price of an Acura CL ranges from $1,500 to $12,345, based on 887 sales tracked on Hypercars. 425 currently for sale.
The Acura CL was the brand's first model designed and built in the U.S. It replaced the Legend coupe and was produced over two generations from 1997-1999 and 2001-2003. Based on the Honda Accord platform, early cars used a 2.2L inline-4 or a 3.0L V6, while the second generation featured a more powerful 3.2L V6.
The most collectible CL by a wide margin is the 2003 Type-S with the 6-speed manual transmission. It's the only year the manual was offered on the second-gen car, and it was paired with the 260 hp J32A2 V6 and a helical limited-slip differential. This combination solved the notorious reliability issues of the 5-speed automatic and created a fantastic front-wheel-drive sport coupe that represented a performance high point for Acura.
The market for the Acura CL is still very accessible, with an average sale price just under $10,000. While many cars trade for less, exceptional, low-mileage 2003 Type-S 6-speed examples can bring over $20,000. These rare manual cars command a significant premium over automatics and first-generation models, a trend that is likely to continue.
Prices for the Acura CL range from $1,825 for project cars to $23,150 for pristine Type-S examples.
887 Acura CL vehicles have been tracked across auctions and listings on Hypercars, with 425 currently live. Sold prices range from $500 to $9,643,540.
