Goodbye to my TL

Well, the time has come guys. I've had numerous of problems with my tranny, and I know many have had more, but I only have one car to be my daily driver and if I have another problem with the TL, then i'm stuck. So, hence why I got rid of her. Originally I was going to pick up a Kia Forte EX with the leather package/moonroof package for $16,200, but the Kia Dealerships won't lower their invoice prices and say that the rebate already does it. I was hoping to pick up the car for 16,200 before the stupid rebate but they want to sell at invoice price of 18,900 before rebate. So, I walked away and I found a beautiful PWP 05 TSX with Navi having only 41K on her exact. Clean car fax and car looks clean inside and out. So will be picking her up for $16,500 in the morning.

So, I just wanted to thank everyone in the TL community and hopefully will continue to help me out within the TSX community, even though its dead over on their side haha.

haha, "TL --> TSA = downgrade?" definitely NOT!

The 1st gen TSX are very clean and practical (good mileage) - not to mention a bit more modern in style than our 2G TL's. I'm pretty sure you can get more parts cheaper too, like lips and stuff.

Good luck man! And def post pics

yeah man that was a smart choice. the 1g tsx and 2g tl are my two favorite acuras

they were probably the last generation before acura started smoking opium and went a little too heavy with the brush

thank you guys! haha.. I'm really happy I made the right choice on the car. It was hard finding an 05 TSX with low miles. NOW, I don't have to worry about my tranny anymore since my TL was on #3. Anyway, here are the pics...

Out with the Old....




In with the NEW...

Less power, and some options I don't have in the TSX like I did in the TL, but LOVE her anyway.
