Hey guys i just totaled my 05 non navi 6speed NBP with ebony interior, it only had 6k miles, fortunatetly I am ok thanks to the 9 airbags I have. I always thought i made a mistake by not getting the navi system. My question is what kind of sweet deals are you getting from dealerships on prices, Excellet credit, what kind of interest rate? great deals on navi out the door prices...... for the 06 model... Looking at buying one this weekend because they have 1 on their lot that is 6 speed with navi and its NBP with ebony.

Honda has 4.9% till feb 28th I think

So what happen, more details on the accident and some

zhalvaje

Glad your ok, anything below 4.9% is acceptable. Goodluck on your car hunting.

Riu

i would not mind seeing pics even though they are prob painfull to take.

phatbastard

I havent seen the car yet i just got out of the hospital today, i was there 3 days i broke my neck. I know the car is totaled though....LOL i was talking to a salesperson from acura while i was in my hospital bed. Ok you guys say 4.9% for a interest rate but what is a extremely good price you guys are paying before taxes on the car.

leedogg

OTD prices vary depending on the taxes of where you live. Work from a base price somewhere in the 32,xxx range for the 06 NAV model. Mine was 32,800

Teh Jatt

well in Fresno, CA my friend got his $34650 w/out tax and lic.

phatbastard

You paid 32,800 with taxes, now thats a sweet deal...

leedogg

no that was my base price. OTD price is meaningless to others unless they are in the same state....

you seem pretty chill for a guy who just broke his neck and totaled his car?

if u dont mind me asking, what happened?
how did u total your car?

phatbastard

Well the only reaason why I am chill is because i am on alot of pain medications. I have a neck brace on. I am actuallly happy the car got totalled and is not fixable so my insurrance company can pay me in full for a brand new one. I put $16,000 down. Once a car is wrecked and it is fixed the car never seems to ride the same. Sucks though because I just had put some ron jon inspyres on it 2 weeks ago which costed me about $2900 with tires. I saved the receipts and I am going to show the insurance company.

As far as the accident goes i was on a 2 way street a drunk person veered into my lane going about 50, i swerved off the side of the road to avoid a head on collision, but i did not see the tree that was in front of me.

vidhartha

wow... that sucks, f*ing drunk drivers, glad to hear you're ok bro

Glad to see you are getting around, things could've been much worse, so you are lucky.

Not sure about the wheels though, my experience is the insurance folks will only reimburse up to stock wheel cost. Could be different laws in different states.

Glan you did not get killed.
Maybe think about a light color car, people just do not see dark colored cars, sober or not.
Anyone who gets a dark color car is asking for it.
I once had a black car, 3 bad accidents in 2 years, white cars before and after that, for a total of 27 years of white cars with NO accidents.

I pay attention to the MANY accidents I see, I drive in work, in a bad area, and 95% of all the accidents I see involve at least 1 dark color car.
I have never seen two white cars crash...at least not yet.

I have backed into 2 cars over the years, both were dark blue or black.

Ouch! Glad to hear that you are going to recover. However most insurance comapnies typically do not insure "non-standard" items on a car unless they are covered on a separate schedule so recouping the cost of the Inspires may not happen. Just like those kids that throw $4K into a stereo and then have it stolen, expensive wheels are typically classified as non-standard and therefore not covered. Good luck getting the bucks for those.

phatbastard

I am going to tell them they are with the upgraded A-spec kit and are part of the acura line-up. See what they say.....lol

CL Platano

Thank goodness you're ok.

Riu

Glad to hear you are ok. I hate drunk drivers. Pisses me off hearing about it.

CCColtsicehockey

I know my buddy was in an accident that wasnt his fault and got his body kit and wheels covered by insurance.

In Southern CA, I bought my 06 Navi Auto TL for a little over $31,400 (Inc. Dest). The OTD price was a little over $34,700.
Unfortunately last Friday some girl rear ended me and now the bumper needs to be replaced. But that is nothing compared to what happened to you.

Did the drunk driver get caught?

Riu

Hope he gets jail for life.

gt1

How did they catch the drunk, if he wasn't involved in the accident?

Warren803

How do you know it was a drunk driver? Are you assuming they were drunk? There are some really crappy non drunk drivers out there too. For example, women.... ....j/k

Actuary

I think I am missing some airbags in my car... 9 airbags?

03CoupeV6

Front = 2
Side = 2
Curtain = 2
+
--------------------
6 Airbags.

He must have the special edition.

Seriously, glad you're okay and hope you can get some shots of the car. Good luck on your new TL!

I have a picture of the TL deploying a giant external beach ball type airbag that deflects other cars away

I nearly totaled my 05 in December. I just got it back today after 2 months. It cost almost 19k to fix, which means it should have been totaled, but they kept finding things as it progressed - very, very irritating.

I will give the body shop credit, it looks amazing. The doors shut with same thud they always had and it drives fine. Only problem I noticed was that the brakes aren't right; they have a pulse in them like the rotors need to be resurfaced. I am going to take it back and have them fixed.

I had my winter tires and rims on when the accident happened. I got the rims from The Tire Rack. One was badly damaged and they are out of production. Allstate would only give me replacement value for an OEM rim. I had the dealer put my summer tires on since it’s the end of winter. I have to decide if I am going to keep it or buy a new car. I put 15k down when I bought it and estimate that I would only get half that back if I traded - OUCH.

Riu

That sucks. Cost 2/3 of the car to fix

phatbastard

The person that was driving behind him noticed he was driving out of control before i wrecked. So she had already callled the police officer on her cell phone before the accident and gave the license plate to them. Yea i guess I have 6 airbags instead of 9, just knew i had alot.... heck I remember when 2 airbags was an option and it was like a 1000 bucks if you wanted it.

I am still working out the deals with the insurance company. See the great things with insurance companies is they are not allowed to ask what you paid for the car, they just look at some book and tally up a price. So if you get one heck of a deal on you car you can actually make a extra thousand or 2. THats where I am at right now so i willl get reimbursed on my wheels.
