Sorry for your lost but good thing your ok! Btw just cause. Totaled your tl doesn't mean u gotta leave Azine

Breadwinka

This is true but sadly I cant find any TL's that have decent KM for the price. I may come back one day when i get more money and can afford a 3rd gen since 4 gen looks so ugly. Right now Im looking at a 2002 Nissan Maxima SE

definitely easier to mod a Maxima, but i cant stand the rear end on that car.

Breadwinka

Ya its the one thing im not the biggest fan of but im sure there is some kind of mods to do to it.

Breadwinka

The best part is that car still started with no problems after the accident.

DAMN. 8k for a 99-01 TL. Sometimes I feel like I should total my TL or get it stolen to get more money from insurance. Because selling it privately won't get you much. But too bad that's "insurance fraud"

^ and ur insurance would go up from the "accident" haha

sorry bread.. gluck w/ ur next car

Breadwinka

My insurance wont be going up since we get one free accident claim. and i know what you mean when i was looking at finding a replacement TL they were pretty cheap but had 200,000km usually so I said by to TL time to look for something similar to it. If i could afford it i would be getting a 2005-2008 Acura TL Type-S

found this but 1hr30mins away UGH LOL Just read it has tranny problems so screw that lol. My TL tranny went 2 days after i bought it thank god cause dealer had to replace it for free.

if we compare the design of the car, 2004 nissan maxima is way more better than 2002. also it got the hid projector headlights. check the reliability ratings for 2004 nissan maxima http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/re...n&model=Maxima

Breadwinka

Ya I know its a much better car then the 2002 but reading forums about transmission issues scares me.

check msn auto reliability ratings and review consumers comments that has or had the car.
you can look for 2004 subaru wrx for that price range

Breadwinka

Thats a good idea.

Breadwinka

Ya nothing for the wrx sadly in my area. Sucks both cars i like have tranny problems.

damn sucks to hear. my tl is actually in the body shop right now my aunt slid into me at christmas party.. lol hopefully you can find something. gl

pickler

hmmm i paid $45,000 for the car, it only has 70,000km on it and it only had one minor accident in its life with no issues (tranny is great) i dont think ill be happy if i total it and get 8000 from insurance. btw i think i saw your car, i live near there.

ps. i dont recommend you buying a nissan, just not on par in terms of quality. they feel so cheap inside. try getting a 2004 TSX.
