Got a new ride.....

Umm.............I was thinking about trading my car in.........so I went to the Mazda place..........they treated me like I couldn't afford the RX8...........none of the sales person helped me or asked if I was intrested in a car. So I was pissed off and swear never to buy a Mazda EVER. On the way home I stop by the Acura dealer........might as well look at the TSX again..........to make a long story short........I got something other then a TSX.

Here is my old baby with my new baby. I couldn't come to trade my 99 TL in.........they were going to give me 11k....but I couldn't.


Comparing the engine.


Deck lid spoiler


Navi


Sorry about the dark pixs, was 9 pm by the time all paper work was done and couldn't wait till morning for the sun.

Of course, She's sleeping safely in the garage right now.......but I think my 99 TL is going to kill me soon. This is the first time she slept outside the garage. I feel like I'm betraying it..... :'(

I love the 99 TL. I couldn't even bare to trade it in. It is a TRUE classic. She's going to be my workhorse. The TL can be the night out machine after I slap the A-SPEC kit on her.......umm.......5k..........maybe I'll just get the kit.

Yeah I'm going to highbeam their asses. LOL I really did love the RX8 and wanted a RWD sports car but I have no regrets getting the 04 TL. Esp since the Mazda dealer SUCKS! I hope they go out of business. I can't believe I got treated better at a high class Jag/Benz/BMW/Audi/Acura dealer then a crappy mazda dealer. Maybe if I go in there with a suit on, I get a better response but whatever, they just lost a 30k+ sales.

Damm. That's a nice ride. I'm guessing White on Parchment? Regardless, it's a really nice ride you got. Congratulation

I know how that feels and it sucks. But those Mazda people are indeed stupid, the RX-8 is not even that expensive to begin with. Almost anyone could afford that crap. You are way better off with the new TL.

I agree Shawn, SST is good for both daily and extreme driving. But if Acura can offer 6-speed SST, it would attract even more customers.
6-speed AT examples : M3 SMG and 745i

I know how you feel here. I sold my last car to a long time friend and parks it in front of his house under a maple tree, has three young kids and uses it to take some of his Little League Baseball players to/from games. Damn, and that car was nearly perfect.

umm, I'm a poor boy, not rich like some of you think. I just happen to have both the 99TL and 03Accord paid off. Currently after down payments and such. I have 600 dollars in my bank. So umm........it will be awhile before I do anything to my new baby, but def. tint and kit.
