I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaack
So, as many of you may know, I had a little encounter with a deer on Sunday night that resulted in an uninjured deer and a totaled TL. Well, what happened next is kinda crazy. One of my family friends is a car dealer and he has access to private dealer auctions. They have auctions every Wednesday, and in a matter a few hours we got the information of the total, told our family friend who was already at the auction and aware of our situation, and he got a really great deal on a car! So we've bought an '03 WDP TL-P with beige interior with a little more than 32,000 on the odo! I'm staying with Acura baby. Of course, I wanted a Type-S with nav, but the auctions go by so fast that you can't wait around for that one car that you want, you need to make a quick decision if the car is in good condition and the price is right. They did have a WDP TL type-s with 31000 miles on it, which I would have obviously wanted most, but this car came before that one and we got it for a good deal. And we needed a car soon because we have a bunch of big events coming up where we need another car. So enough talking, here are some pics:
I'll take some better pics tomorrow during the day. It can use a good wash and wax, but the paint is almost flawless, as is the interior. I'll be putting my Comptech axlebacks on ASAP. What do you guys think?

Thanks again for all the comments!
16k...and I got really good money for my totaled TL because it was in good condition, had low mileage, etc., so it didn't end up costing me too much

Well the KBB dealership value of the car is $22,000+...so, 
? It seems like a really good deal. Maybe you guys got lucky at the dealership? And did your $17k include all the associated fees? Also, considering how much I got for my 2000 vs. how much the 2003 cost, it seems like a good deal.

Yeah the KBB retail value of my car at the time I bought it was up there, too. And they had it listed for $20900. They sold it for $17k. It just didn't seem like a steal-deal as you made it out to be, but it was STILL a good deal and as long as you are happy that's what matters.
