So I totalled my TL on Halloween...

Slid around a corner too fast and this is what happened I loved my TL and was planning on having it for 3 more years so i am very depressed. I would like to find another TL like it so i could swap my parts over. Any recommendations?

Damn, glad you are not hurt. Good luck with your search. I wonder how much the insurance is going to charge for the buyback.

Sorry to see that DRS. Try to save your wheels, if possible.

I feel your pain, totaled my 6 speed '02 Maxima on September 1st. Hit some water in the road from apartment sprinklers, rear tires were near the wear bars, swapped ends, slid into the median and hit a pole. Sucked.

The important thing is you are okay and replacing the TL shouldn't be too hard.

Another AM to the salvage yard. Glad to hear that you're OK. While I was on the hunt for my replacement car, I had located an '07 MRP 6MT TL-S in Tampa. I'm not sure if it has been sold already.

if theres enough money invested in parts, i would buy it back from the insurance company and part out the car. your loss would be minimal.

I don't want to sound like a cynical and inconsiderate guy, but come on. Your car is not a race car. I see to many young people thinking they can handle even 200whp+ cars (even though I'm near the same age). Before you buy a new TL or car, take a driving race course at your local track. Best investment ever.

Sad to see. Glad to hear you're ok.

Was the road wet?
How fast were you going?
Did it oversteer?
