It's been fun, but I'm leaving. Might be back some day?

Well the time has come, to say my good-byes. I have learned a lot on here about Acuras and had a lot of fun in the process. Some of your cars are amazing but in my case my TL was a complete failure. I have sold the car for $3,700.00 cash, it had many problems (buyer was aware of them) like body and some mechanical stuff.

Anyways so ya now I'm looking for something with a MT 100%, maybe something like 06+ SI, or RSX-S or 3G TL-P 6MT. I'll update this one day with the car I decide. Thanks again sorry to disappoint, but it had to go.

Make sure you break it to them gently, it will be a great shock to them.

Nice, I'm bidding on a 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse convertible GTS Spyder one, I think it's the best package for that year, clean title, 5spd, 25,096 miles on it going for $800.00. It ends tomorrow, if I can get it for like $3,500.00 I'll buy it learn to drive manual, cus right now I suck at driving MT then sell it for like $8,000-$10,000.00 with 30k on the car.

Shouldn't be to low. I mean if mine wasn't Rebuilt/Salvage title+all the body damage it had like the parts didn't align right the headlight kept flickering and stuff basically in very poor shape. If it was dealer showroom shape I would of not let it go for less then $6,000.00.

Hey hey, I'm back for a while! lol I just wanted to update with what car I bought to replace the TL


2001 330Ci, it's sadly an AT but the deal was to good to pass up. Picking it up this Saturday from Illinois driving back to Ohio.

I like it over all but I really wanted something with more power, it'll be just like my TL with 225 hp uggh on top of that modding is crazy on it, soo expensive freaking headers a lone over $1,500.00 =(.

Nvm about that BMW, i posted it because well the dealer said it was a done deal. I got a call 3 hours later from the guy who sold it to us and he said someone else bought it for sticker price. I was like wooow fuck that, this morning I told my buddy to give the dealership a call and ask if the BMW is still for sale, guess what... it was! The guy is so pathetic he had to lie to us because he thinks he can get a better deal, ass hole. So now I'm I have my eye on a 2006 Acura TL-P, white on black with navi <3.

No what happened was we only talked to him, he told him we can pick the car up this saturday. He said that's fine let me get a deposit from you, my dad gave the guy his credit card number and stuff and he said it's all good to go and that he'll be waiting. 3 hours later he says the car is sold and that he did not debit my dads card for any money, idk whatever.

Yeah, the TL is a little out my price range and I'm really into finding a MT car even though it'll be my first one I hear countless stories of it being the best so I'm willing to spend day and night to perfect it. Tomorrow i'm going to call in about a 2006 EX-L 6spd Accord coupe, it's a nice blue color I like it, leather heated and such, I really hope I can get it. I've been carless for a few months and I hate it so much.

i don't think it matters as far as ex-l or not cause normal they do "EX-L V6" for the 6 cylinder models or just plain EX-l for the 4cyl, so he may have just not typed everything (and anyways i think the 4 cyls on accords only come with a 5-speed)

don't get me wrong, but yeah getting onto the highway is so much easier with a v6, but a turbo on a 4cyl can easily fix that, and they are much easier to turbo too
