what is this new flu that everybody is starting to sell there cars??!! all i see is full-part out selling my 3G!! i mean its a benefit for people looking for cheaper parts, but why is everybody selling all of a sudden!! lol...

 

Time to move on I suppose. I'm gonna have to drive mine until the wheels fall off after the economy took a toll on my finances this past year.

 

Happens from time to time. This is acutally the second wave.

Wave 1 - OG's, people who bought/leased when it first came out.

Wave 2 - people who bought/leased mid cycle.

Wave 3 - people who bought/leased with the refresh/TL-S.

 

i plan on keeping mines until i have to bury it.. i love the car and being im still paying for it i look forward to keeping it lol... and plus i just got the mod bug lately!! lol!!

 

Im not selling my 07 Type S thats for sure!

 

Yeah my guess is the people selling are A. Bored with the car. B. Lease is up. C. downgrading to get lower payments.

I paid my car off the day i bought it and don't plan on selling it until the repairs are more than the car is worth. I spend so much time reading up on the TL, i would just hate to have to start over again with a new one. Sort of like a woman, it takes time to know her in's and outs and its a real pain in the ass doing it over and over again.

 

this is all good for those who are modding it give you chance to step up and be a known car on here. I will probably end up running this car down to the ground.

 

Yep I know people that get rid of cars every 2 years for a new one. So it depends on person. Most of the time its either boredom with the chassis or something urgent comes up for a sale. But this is a nice car I like it as a daily. I am finding another mkiii shell to work on as the fast car too bad my old one got stolen =(.

 

This car is definitely easy to get bored of, especially one with very little aftermarket options. I've only had the car about a year and im pretty bored with it. I love the car to death, but its just not very exciting to drive. Good DD, but I need something else. Even with the 6MT the car seems to get dull with the lack of power (although adequate).

 

Any mods?

 

You'll be seeing me around for about another 4 years.

 

i had the a/t for 367 days before i bought my M/t. i felTTT the same as you where i was completely modded up with bolt-on. i fell like i just started all over tho with the m/t since im going in a different direction than the WDP.

thought about a turbo for your m/t? i bet that would make it "fun" again.

 

I think peaple change there cars often or get bored of them bucause we Car Guys are NUTS we dump money into depreciating objects our cars for what so we can look at and say to ourselfes or our friends man that looks good then a week later we forget its there and have to find something else to Purchase so we get that rush again.

Myself included of course I havent even made the first payment on the car(Picked up a 2005 AM 5AT 3 weks ago) and I dont even want to add up waht I have spent for LED lights new 18 inch wheels and tires window tint Repainted bumpers new shifter knob and assorted other bits and pieces.

Dont get me wrong I'm not stopping I just have to step back and think about it from time to time Then I go order something else for my new toy.Crazy Huh?

 

No, not crazy at all. sounds like an expensive HOBBY ( atleast thats what i tell my wife)

plus the cars just looks alot better afterwards lol

 

the best part is having someone who parts out locally! I picked up some xlr8 quads with the TL-S rear bumper inc. aspec for $850. Going back for TL-S front bumper w/aspec, UR, and possibly V2.

tks Bryan (aka Accurate) one of the best TL-S ive seen around.

 

This is also true. Makes me scared to try and get people to make parts for it...Only things I have seen most people do is either full exhaust, pulley, and intake then most of them stop there...No one makes a decent clutch for this car but apparently CM fixed that issue so I will see about the review and go from there.

 

Like said it is time to move on and also the 3G TL is seen everyone.

Almost everyone and their momma has this car now.

 

no performance mods really, but the basic visual mods....drop, tint, accord fogs, blacked headlights, type-s tails, etc etc....its hard to be different with the TL without shelling out some cash.

the car is my DD so i cant really mess around with it too much. I would rather get a project car than turbo a TL. I'm also saving for a house at the moment so I'm a bit limited. I'm just going to enjoy the car as a DD and then get rid of it in about a year for probably a 335i.

 

I won't lie... I got tired of it... no point in keeping it once the lease was up... meh

 

had mine for 6 years...been through everything with it...u name it.
Never came to such thoughts on my mind...and never bored with it!
ill buy smth else and still keep it. especially after being paid off

 

Same here. Of course, there's still part of me that wants to slightly change up what I've done to it (and do a little more ) and keep it.

 

Yep that's me. 2-3 years and I need something else. I always buy used though. Let's see how long the TL lasts....

 

I had thought about changing when I pay my 06 off in a few months, but after the turbo came out, I figured $10-15K for the kit and everything else to go with it versus $20K to start over, I decided to keep it.

I still love driving this car.

 

I'll tell you my issue. I got rid of my "race" car. So now I need something that will be fast. A turbo'd FWD pig beast is not going to cut it.

I want a car that I don't have to heavily mod for HPD at a track. I really want to take some driving courses. I may do that in the TL before my part out takes off.

 

im keeping my baby until the wheels fall OFF literally.....lol

 

i love the body of the car and the way the newer generation of cars look. i think ill stick wit my 3g.. i thought about trading it in for a SUV but i know ill miss the sporty look of a sedan.. i sold my 01 gsr for the tl.. miss the gsr but i know when i drive my 3g around i still get the turned heads.. now all i need is my rims next year and ill be in love even more!!!

 

No car flu here. But it does appear that I've caught a bad case of the mod bug... ASPEC lip and wheel coming soon!

 

i love the fact that there is a small acura TL community here in hawaii. It just makes my car stand out that much more. I usually get bored of cars fast cause there are alot of other people here with the same car and same mods as me. I like being in the position i am now. There are no TL-S on air bags that i know of.
