Something happened on the way to work today :(

What happened is that the TL dropped in value by a few grand...

BTW, this is in kms, not miles & sorry for the fuzzy video, I was going around 110 km/h on the highway.

For the non-KM guys 110K is 68 MPH and it turned 100,000K which is 62,000 Miles .....


Better trade it off ... damn thing is wore out..

haha that's cool but it sucks that the value drops like that. I noticed that too, as soon as the car rolls over 100 000km, it's done

100k KM is viewed like 100k MI? Wow.

Hahaha, I knew my thread title would make you guys look. You all thought I had an accident! Clocking 100k is not really that bad.

Seriously though, 100km does affect the value in Canada - I guess it is viewed somewhat like 100mi.

That being said, I have no plans to trade the TL in. It still purrs like new and looks almost as good. Should be good for at least another 100k.

Check out this thread for a very recent pic:

I have almost 200km on my '05. It must be almost worthless.

My last car was a 91 honda accord ex-r and it hit 350 000km before it was rear ended . 100k km is nothing for these cars.
