I finally got my red 99 TL totally fixed, eVERYTHING, spent about 2-3K on it. 2 new rims, EGR, Catalytic, timing belt, spark plugs, water pump, air vents, trannie flush etc etc etc.

I was like this car is good to go for the next 100K miles. Well it is, but I found a buyer, and well she's a lady and the color fits her well.

I was trying to find a car today because she wants to pick the car up monday, and Luckilly I found a 2003 Silver TL with 55K miles. Silver on black, looks yummie. The black interior is very very clean, and the car drove like a champ with the 6spd automatic.

I sold my 99 for $7500, I am losing some $$ because I spent a lot fixing it, but that's ok, it's to a friend's mom in law and she's a nice lady.

On the other hand, I got a killer deal on the 2003, I'll post the $$ in 1-2 days when everything goes through hopefully.

Now i need a spoiler, I just hate those stock rims on the 03, I like the Type-S rims, does anyone know how much they are new from Acura? I get a 25% discount.

 

oh yeah, in a few days can the admin change my nick to silver_tl? or something similar if that is taken?

 

Honda does not make a 6-speed auto for the TL (not yet) and definitely not for a 2003 TL. Has an upgraded 5AT that's less likely to get trashed...

Not sure why you'd want to 'upgrade' from a '99 to a '03 ... but that's a personal taste (ie can transfer mods from one car to another) ... but I would have thought you'd go a different direction (ie 6MT CL-S). At least that tranny in that car is far more reliable and depreciation on that car has taken a severe beating since it has been discontinued.

If you want to change your name, PM astro -- he's the guy you wanna talk to!

 

If you are looking for OEM Acura rims go to wheelcollision.com they have pretty good deals.

 

Thanks! yes you are right, it's a 5 speed aUto.
The car is just way different, the interior is very clean compared to my 99, no scratches, dents, rips etc. The leather is perfect. The 6 cd changer works and plays burned CD's. i think the 03 Tranny has a warranty so I don't have to worry much. I am gonna do the 60K miles service on it in 1-2K miles so it's good to go.

I haven't delivered the 99TL, but the person is getting the check now. If this person passes on my car, I'll put it on sale on this board. I didn't have any mods in it, except a full size spare.

 

I need a shift knob, Acura wants 90 bux minus my dealer discount...

 

You can call Acura with the VIN number or register your TL on OwnerLink to see if the transmission is covered by the extended warranty.

 

tiz not covered, I am hoping they change their mind soon though

 

the typeS rims go for 300-500.
