its not that bad actually, but the 16K on a 99, seems very suspicious, plus a rebuilt title, does that mean the car was salvaged?

i think the inside is pretty nice, except for the ugly pedals and shifter, the whole white paint look is pretty cool but it would get old soon...i like it more then the cheap looking plain black plastic, but that blue acura badge is nasty.

and i just saw those rims...those are uuuuggggggggggllllllyyyyyy

I guess I'll give it to him that he has low miles... gives the owner plenty of time and miles to remove all that junk and return the TL to its natural glory.

Firstly 16.5Miles and not 16K- so we'll give him roughly 30K. Suspicious yes, but:
a) if you drove that thing would you really go very far from home?
b) walking may become more appealing after some of these mods

And yes- rebuilt title generally means salvaged- so he probably spent very little on it to start with. This is probably the real reason behind the low miles.

And MMmmmaaaaannn that's ugly.
-M

PS: Do you think he realizes that he drives a four-door family sedan?

In reading it again, the correction is unnecessary and probably wrong.

I was thinking K as in KM instead of thousand (10K).

My apologies.

its all g00d, lol, i just spent like good 10 minutes trying to understand what I've said wrong.

That car doenst have 20,000 dollars invested in it, my last car, maxima, I've invested $12,000, but I had custom fenders, kits, rims, supercharger, molding in the trunk, and a lot of cool stuff, until the the car got stolen

Salvaged title already makes the car shit, unless it was 100% rebuilt by Acura. (still shit).

And what pisses me off, is that gullible people are bidding on a car like that....they are guaranteed to experience problems, and i feel bad for them

Its like I was reading an auction on ebay about a regular G35 coupe with no engine mods at all, sorry, he had a strut bar, lol, the guy wrote that the car is a constant 12s QT...and ppl were eating that and bidding like crazy. 12s QT? most specially tuned $150K high class sports cars can barely do that...constant 12s.

whatever. like i said again, if i'll c him in bklyn, i'll pull him over and I'll tell him to read this thread.


lata guys
