It's been fun guys / gals.

The time has come, I am finally trading in my TL.

First and foremost, this is probably one of the most reliable cars I've ever owned .. that's why I will be sticking with the Honda family once again.

I bought my TL with 58,000 miles on the odometer and I haven't had a single mechanical failure since I've owned it. Just goes to show you what proper maintenance does for you .

My car now sits at 100,500mi and it's time to part ways ..

It was hard putting it all back to stock because it brought back all the memories of installing everything haha.

I am most definitely getting a 7G Honda Accord 6MT Coupe .. they're very rare and hard to come by. According to autotrader, 3 listings (in my price range) within 100 miles of my zip code .. talk about a tough crowd

Thanks to everybody who has helped me over the last couple years. I will be sticking by the forums .. just not as often.

Got to keep that J-series love.

If you guys want some good deals, check out the link in my sig.

PS: I will take pics when I get the car .. which should be shortly.

You will love the 7G AV6. I had one before and it will be just as good as the TL. Never had trouble with it. You can keep the j-pipe for the new car.

Isn't a 7G Accord a downgrade from a 3G TL?

Compared to my TL, it's an upgrade (Performance wise). 6MT Powah.

I just can't afford to take out that big of a loan, but yeah .. those 8Gs are ridiculous. They trap 100 - 101 in the 1/4!!

congrats- looks like it is in excellent condition-how many miles does it have.
I think one of the main reasons I do not want to get rid of my 06 tsx is has had no problems, runs excellent, no car payment, with 104,000+miles

The car currently sits at 74,400 w/ a new clutch, I have no complaints so far.

Engine is smooth, clutch is strong ..
