Just got '03 TLS. What to do with Legend??

I just picked up my 2003 TL-S (Anthracite Metal). Great car, I love it!!

What should I do with my '95 Legend? I know I want to sell it but does anyone have any good advice on how to sell it? I put an ad in Autotrader.com placed a post on the legend.org forum and a classified in my local paper. Anything I'm missing?

Pics of my legend

Anyone in here interested

I'll let my parents know you like their house I moved back home after college (just graduated), for a little while at least. But usually when I say that and then people see where they live, they wonder why I would ever move out .

The Blue Book value for this car with the miles I have (109K, you can see in one of the pictures) is like 10.5 or 11 (depending on the blue book you ask). I'm asking $9500 because I'd like to sell it kinda quickly. Located in Southern New Jersey.

I know it is against the rules to post for sale items, and I really, honestly, wasn't trying to sell it in here (it would be an added bonus.) I really wondering if anyone had any ideas for selling it other than the ones I already did.

Where in South Jersey? I'm in Mt Laurel. Always good to see another Southern Jerseyian.

Previously of Medford (went to Shawnee HS) now of Marlton. Cool, someone to help defend against the New Jersey Jokes (anyone who makes fun of New Jersey has never spend a significant amount of time in South Jersey, a place where I would be completly happy to be considered a different state.)

I live in Marlton NJ too. I must agree that South Jersey is different. I moved here 2 years ago and I love it except for the car insurance and property tax.

Which dealer did you end up with for your Acura? How is the service. I was and still kinda close to buying the TL but another option came up so I am kinda waiting a bit. (especially no dealer around has a TL-S without NAV in stock).

Tell your parent they have a nice house too. It's not by Church road is it? They got some nice houses there. Saw one with two C5 vette in the driveway.

use it as a daily driver, and save the miles on the TL-S.

From someone who doesn't have to pay New Jesey Auto Ta... er I mean Insurance. Can't afford to insure both cars (something like 3 thousand a year for the Legend. Doesn't make any sense.

Besides the TL-S is leased. I shouldn't have any problems staying under the 15K (did get that instead of 12). Also, what's the fun of having a car that you can't drive all the time? My commute is all back roads = fun, but then again my commute is only 9 min.


Two C5's? Now thats a car I will own someday. It will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine. When I can afford it and the insurance, I guess

Marty Sussman Acura on Rt 38, between the Morrestown and Cherry Hill malls. Service is good but you sometimes have to complain for a bit to get a loaner. Prices a bit higher than some here have been saying, but you just gotta haggle. I didn't get navi so I can't comment about them being in stock.

Speaking of getting Navi, this is what happens when you lease. The Navi costs 2000. But they only give you a 400 credit at the end of the lease (ie, the residual is only 400 more than without navi) which means that over three years you're paying 1600 for something that is really just a toy. Which really sucks because I wanted to get it, but not at that price.

Marty Sussman Acura offered to order a TL-S with NAV for me. Unfortunately they said about 6 weeks. Their price was pretty good because I mentioned Turnersville Acura and they were willing to beat whatever quote I got (apparently they don't like each other).

I had a chance to ride in a TL again yesterday and it definitely doesn't ride like it look. I am not 100% sold on the look but rather for the price and performance.

That is very interesting with the NAV and lease thing. I would think that the NAV option is worth more than that used.

Funny thing about Turnersville is that there is exactly one thing in that town, car dealers. My G/F got her 2002 New Beetle GLX (friggin rip off at 25K for a small ass car but still the best price. One place (Burlignton) wanted like 27) there because they were the cheapest but its an hr ride there.

I'll buy it for 6K!
I had some dealer offer that to me when I put it on Autotrader. That's less than the Blue Book said you could get for a trade in. I'll post on Acura-Legend to see what if anything happens! Thanx for the tip.
