Unhappy So the results of my accident....

As I mentioned to the acurazine community last week about my accident in the snow here in CT. Well the insurance company assessed the damage and they determined my TL is in fact Totaled! If you didn't know what I had its a 2004 Acura TL non/navi with 62k miles. Well they sent out a check for $16,984 for the vehicle which I think isn't so bad compared to KBB value. Well now I have no car which isn't good at all and I am in search for a new car hopefully a TL. Just wanted to let you guys and girls know and hopefully I will find something asap. Please let me know if you know of any good deals in the Northeast area for any TL's.

Wow. The heck happened to the wheel??

My thought - If you liked the 04, see if you can find a new '08 that's still sitting on somebody's lot. Upgrade to navi if you have the $.

Glad to hear you're alright. Here in PA I slid down an icy hill about 50 yards last week and luckily didn't do any damage to my relatively new 08. Its a rough winter this year.

look at the classifieds in the black market, cars.com and autotrader. You can pick up an 05 with navi and about 50K for around 17K...

AWESOME!! Booyah.. $17k may not buy a Type-S but It'll buy you another '04 / '05 ABP! + $4-6k for mods!! BooYAH!

in the mean time.. find out where they're auctioning your car.. maybe buy it for $1k and make more buy selling parts..

Yea, I could list off a lot of parts I'd buy from you if you buy it back.

I'd like to know what happened though. Looks like you drove that thing straight up Omaha Beach.
