what you guys thinks(newbie here)

My dad is offering me his 03 wdp tl (non s) with 17k on the odometer for around 16k? still has warranty to 70k(extended warranty) and i guess lifetime warranty on the tranny.

Worth it or no?

Im interested in throwing in a nice eclipse navi/dvd headunit if so asap, n next summer maybe doin some suspension work with some 19 inch wheels? would need advice on suspension compenents...dont worry im searchin on top of that too

Where'd he get a lifetime warranty on the tranny? Acura doesn't offer that.

Why somone would put 19" rims on an everyday driver baffles me. I've bent three 17" rims on highway on rather small potholes and would not consider anything even slighly larger.

That car has insane low mileage.

Get it quick! WDP is an incredible color IMO, and that's a great deal.

19 are the perfect size wheel for the TL 17 looks wack cuz the cars so big...19 looks just perfect with a nice drop..i have 19s with very thin 225/35/19 tires and have not bent one rim...u just have to watch how u drive and wat u go over..thats all ...worth it for sure...why spend money on 17s stock is 16 lol

yeap its not a question as if i cant get it..its in my garage rite now n will be there for while since its in the family..but i guess as for the lifetime warranty on tranny? maybe i misheard him for the 7yr/100000mile warranty then.

its better than mint shape..my parents barely use the car..its never seen rain or snow in its life to date..so this is one reason i think its worth it..n i know it been well cared for..so i mite just take him up on offer.

do it now. If you keep wasting time thinking about it, then you're just wasting time you could be modding it

And besides, you'll never find a luxury car with 17K miles on it that new for $16K, at least not in that condition....ever.
