Good Deal?

Hello Acurazine members! It's time for me to buy my first car, and I have decided on getting a 3GTL. In my area, I found a 2004 WDP 5AT Non-Navi for $11000( and still negotiable). I was wondering if this is a good deal? It's wayy better than any other 3G TL in a 250 Mile radius. Are there any downsides to this year, color, transmission?


P.S. I have just joined this thread, and I am already making a a mod list lol.

The interior is beige, and the car has only 76,000 miles with all service records available. All services were done at an Acura dealership. The interior and exterior are spotless!!

Good deal for $11000 especially if it's in the condition you report. Enjoy the car and have fun. These aren't race cars, far from it, so when you say mod list, hopefully you're speaking of appearance items. If not, you'll be back on the Forum asking for fixes to problems.
Good luck.

Yeah the only performance mod I have in my mind is the Aem CAI. I was mainly talking about A-Spec kit, Tint, Hids, New Bumper Foglights, and tint out the headlights and taillights!! The contrast would be beautiful.

WDP is an awesome color on the 3G TL. Sounds like a good deal. The 04's do have a history of tranny issues. You may want to have it checked by a mechanic. I read your mod list and the TL already had HID headlights. Good luck with the deal. And welcome to AZ

"Good deal, pickle" DON'T tint anything on your car (headlights/taillights)

Sounds nice to me for a really classy color. I would keep the lamps un-tinted myself, but that is just my preference for the cleaner OEM look.

The pervious had front mounted license plates. Would a A-Spec lip cover it? or should I buy an Acura Plate to cover it?
