Right choice? 08-tl

Choice was between and 05 audi a-6, in great shaepe with only 16,000 miles, and an o8 acura t.l. Demo, with 7,000 miles.
Nighthawk black pearl, with parchment interior.

Almost the exact same price.

Because of reliabilty, three years newer, and made in marysville, i went with the acura.

Did i make the right choice.

Welcome to AZ (where a 3G TL is always the right choice over any out-of- warranty Audi)!

LMAO ... was she free from Billy Joel & then some? Still looks great after all these years and half-a-soccer-team kids though ....

To the OP: congrats & welcome to the club .... it should be a non-issue choosing Acura over Audi IMO ... but of course I'm a bit biased after riding on three Acuras ...

Nice choice...

Although demo cars do get abused... but as long as you have the warranty, you're good!

Right choice confirmed

Thanks everyone

i just needed a little hand holding i guess, but i'm loving the t.l. More and more everyday.
Certainly a change from my toyota avalon.

08-t.l. N.b.p. , with beige or tan interior.
20 % tint, or at least i think that's what it is here in canada.
The car was actually a dealers loaner, rather than a demo, so hopefully it wasn't mis-treated. I pamper it, wash, wax etc, and love it like a new girlfriend.
My wife's a little jealous, since her lexus es 350 is taking a back seat for a while.

Nothing major planned, maybe a trunk spoiler, and moonroof deflector.
I'll send photos soon. Again it's pretty well still stock, but here in canada it stands out since almost everything here in windsor, right next to detroit is big 3, and nothing else.
There's not even a dealer in this city of 250,000.

Love the site, and the passion the acura owners have, just as much as the car.

Congrats and welcome. I will warn you that seeing rides here will make you want to mod your own and leave you broke, so hide them credit cards.
