WHAT CAR DID YOU SELL TO GET THE HOT NEW TL:AND ARE YOU HAPPY WITH IT? P.S.I HAD A 2000 MUSTANG WITH $30,000 IN IT :bigun2:

 

I had a 1998 VW GTI VR6 with about $5000 dumped into it. I was considering an R32 but decided against it after I realized I don't drive THAT hard any more.

 

i gave my F-150 supercrew to my Dad and i got the TL

 

Sold my 95 Integra for $5K and bought the TL.

 

I had a 2004 Acura TSX...loved the car. But I loved the TL more

 

1999 ML320 for 8k with 101k miles

 

2003 Honda Accord EX for $18,000.

 

i had a totalled 93 honda accord, insurance gave me $3800 for it, which gave me my down payment.

i love my tl..

 

What did you have before your TL?

But I'm happy to say again that I gave up my 2002 TL-Premium for the '04.

 

Sold my 99TL

 

Totaled my 96 Accord Lx and used the insurance as down payment

 

2003 Cobra wirh $1000 in mods 1800 miles and 455 RWHP!
Wife refuses to drive a stick shift and her 98 GTP was getting up htere in miles so the CObra had to go. I still have the 1100 HP (not a typo) 87 GN

I traded in my 2000 TL for the new 2004 TL. Still as happy as can be about the decision.

 

1998 Integra Type R, and 2003 Civic Si

 

Traded in my 94 Integra GSR...

 

Sold my 1997 Grand Prix to Carmax. Very pleasant doing business with them. Pretty darn happy with my TL

 

Lease ended on a 2000 Toyota Avalon XLS and replaced it with the 04 TL. I love the TL but there are a couple of little things that are different that I kind of miss. I liked the auto headlights on the Avalon and the fact that the trip timer reset each time the car was restarted (hated the fact that the mileage also reset). The Avalon was really quiet and it is taking some time to get used to the additional road noise in the TL. I miss the RDS in the Avalon as well.

However, this are niggling complaints because almost everything about the TL is just plain more fun than the Avalon. It is by far the most comfortable car I have ever owned, I love the Audio system, I love the Navi, I love the bluetooth and I love the voice command. I also like the interior better and I thought the Avalon interior was pretty nice. I love the fact that I never get trapped on expressway on ramps with this car.

I have no regrets and this is the best and most fun car I have ever had. My only fear is that I love to drive this car so much that I am going to blow out the mileage allowance on my lease.

 

Sold my 2000 Monte Carlo LS w/46K miles for $7500. Couldn't be happier w/ the TL

 

I traded in my 2000 TL ($9800) for the new 2004 TL... the 00TL was aging pretty fast with 114k miles, it needed new brakes too. So instead of spending $500 on brakes + major scheduled maintenance , I decided to get new Brembo Brakes and a 04TL around them!

 

Was bored to tears in my 2000 RL and decided to "step down" in the Acura brand and slum with a 2004 TL.

Boy, was I wrong.

Best car I've ever owned and I've owned plenty. Perfect mix of sport and luxury. The TL has become the one car I miss the most......the Legend. The RL is a blah nothing car. The TL brings back the juice that makes the blood boil.

 

01 TL with 56K on it.

 

Had sold my 2000TL-P in 2001 in preps to buy the Type-S then never did. Paid off My 98 Accord last March, still have it, then just plunked down for this TL.

 

Due to budget constraints, I had to "downgrade" by selling my '03 Infiniti FX45. I miss the torque and hp of the V8 but hated the fuel economy. The resale value on the FX is absolutely terrible (at least on my 45)---lost $11K in the first alone--YIKES!!

 

'96 Integra w/145K. And I Like

 

1993 Corolla I love the change!

 

'94 Vigor w/137k.

 

Traded in a 1999 Cadillac STS

 

Dumped the 99 Volvo S80 T-6 that I had just put over $3K in repairs (strut springs, O2 sensor, coolant leak, tie rod, etc) with only 69K on it. Glad to get rid of it for $15.5K after spending $45K on it new. TL is a much nicer car all around. I had a Legend before the S80. I'll never buy a Volvo again....

 

Traded in my 02 TL-S with 46K on it

Love the 04 and the gadgets in it... can't wait to get in it everyday!

 

Came from a 2000 Altima SE. Put in about a $1K of mods, that's it. Loving the TL.

 

'01 Accord EX-V6 silver

 

2002 S2000 Silver blank int.

Traded in my 92 Legend 5spd for the TL. I miss the Legend mainly because I had it so long and it ran so well. TL handles infinitely better and faster. Legend was more comfortable, and I miss an external trunk key latch and the larger trunk.

 

2002 TL-S lease ended. The excitement of owning a car that burned to ashes 3 trannies could not keep me away from another Auto TL

 

My “dream car” – 1995 Acura Legend 6-speed coupe that I purchased new in 1996 and had 140,000 miles on it when I sold it to get my 6-MT TL.
Even “dream cars” get old!

 

I traded in a 2001 Civic LX.

True, but the real story is this. I had a 1995 Integra GS-R (loved that car). It was stolen in 12/02 (from a church parking lot while I was in choir rehearsal -- there is a special place reserved for theives like that). Bought a 4 cylander '98 Accord as an interim car. Inherited the 2001 Civic - 12.500 miles on it. Have teenaged kids who will need a car. Kept the '98 Accord (93K miles) for the kids, traded in the low-milage inherited car. Have a fun-to-drive TL that I don't plan to let the kids get close to.

 

Traded in my 2003 350Z......got a good deal. The TL is a lot more car.

 

Traded in my 2002 Chrysler 300M with 37,000 miles

 

Some of you traded some sweet cars for this car. Is there any regrets?

 

I sold a previously wrecked 03 TL-S. It was repaired and looked perfect, but it just wasn't the same car anymore. Had it never been in an accident I'd still be happy with it; I know I'd have checked out the 04s, but doubt I would have traded. The 04 doesn't seem all that different on a spec sheet, but in reality it's a much, much nicer car. I always wished I'd had the option to get my old one with a stick. Now I have a 6MT, and that rocks all by itself. I'm not at all glad that I wrecked my old car, and I took a $$ hit in selling it, but I am far more satisfied with the 04 than I ever was with the 03 on its very best day. Zero regrets, countless smiles.
