What do you guys think...?
I recently purchased a 1 owner Laguna 2000 TL Navi. with 54k miles for $12,500. The car is in mint condition! All the records in hand. Clean carfax. Also the tranny is original with a jet kit installed at 35k miles. What do you guys think... did I do ok or did I pay too much.

Its not lookin too pretty right now (chicago weather ugh!) but as soon as I wash it I'll put up some pics. Its a really nice car. Mint 1 owner 2000 TL w/ Navi 54k miles... these are pretty hard to come by oh and btw the TL is from Atlanta GA so no rust :-) where we'll be moving back to in a few months. 3 yrs in chicago is all i can handle.

IN MY Opinion
A one owner car with maitenance records from a TL Lover just like its new owner is- should and does command a higher price than one abused and leased and sent to auction- no history, bad brakes, who knows what else.
Pay a little now or a lot later
Keep an eye on the trans, change the fluid, and read the symptoms on www.acura.com, where you will register your car by VIN and they have a really good posting on whats normal and whats not
The oil kit and the trans probs are different issues.
Also call acura at 1-800-382-2238 x5 and register with them too.
Thats customer care and can tell you even more about your car- seat belt warranty- occupant sensors and other extended to 100 or 150 thousand miles
Enjoy your new ride!

Note the moderator fsttymys has a model not actually made for the public!
But he does run a stock color-I think thats the only stock thing on his car.

You got a pretty good deal man. I have to say that you can't find a TL with a low milage like that for 12K. I got one with 22K on it, but it was from an auction.
I say that you didn't go wrong with TL. IT looks great, in my personal opinion it looks better than 02-03.
