this may sound stupid, but i was wondering, how long will second gen's be around for??
i mean, i just got my car, im 18, and right now i have an 02 TL-s, so it's 3 years old... in a year or two when im estimating i will sell my car, will there still be a market for after market parts (ie.. h/i/p/e/kits) or will i have a hard time selling it then.
by then it would be a 4-5 yearr old car... will this forum and in general, be as big as it is now (everywhere i go i see a TL)..
thanks

 

the market will obviously be smaller for those parts, because most of the enthusiastic owners will have sold their older TL's off, but they also fit the '98-'02 Accord V6, so maybe that car will be somewhat of a "tuner" car then...who knows. Dont worry about that now, just drive you car and have fun!

 

Just Keep It...

 

I would reccomend accepting the fact that a car 99% of the time is a depreciating asset and should therefore be fully enjoyed, whithout worrying about resale in two years.

 

yea well i know it will depreciate....
but when i think of people driving old hooked up cars, only Integras, Civics and the like come to mind, but im new to the car world so i dont know much...
i was just wondering in 2 years will the 2nd gen still be as abundant as it is now, where i see at least 2 everywhere i go...
not so much the price of the items i was worried about, and not my car in general, i was wondering if people will still be "modding" TL's (2nd gen) in a couple of years...
question really is, when will the 2nd gen "fade away"?

 

In my opinion bad question...No offense

If car enthusiasts exist then a car will always be around. If my old 94 Volvo still has a decent sized aftermarket then anything can...

 

im 19 i just bought an 01 black/black tl i love the shit out of it and wil prob get tired of it after i pay it off... all depends on the person... if you love a car, then you take care of it and keep it, if not, then out with the old, in with the new

 

Could not agree more!

 

There will always be a market for the AV6 6th gen which means that we will always have a "demand" for parts. The Honda/Acura make has such a large following that I have seen more second gen TL's now then when I first baught my car two years ago! And even more "hooked" up ones. Being unique is getting even harder when everyone starts to drive the same car as you! sucks!

 

well people are still hooking up 88-91 civics and accord, you should have no problem

 

that's actually kind of sad.....the 2nd gen forum will eventually be really small.......

but by then we all might be in the 4th or 5th gen forum
