What cars are people getting into after their TL?

I have the vehicle listed on Autotrader, craigslist, 5miles & Offerup
Maybe you can help me out?
I did a Autotrader search for all 2007-2008 Acura TL within a 50 mile radius of my zip code and according to AutoTrader the average price is $11,200.
I have my 08 TL listed for $7,800.
I know this is a subjective question but what sounds like a 'fair' price to you? Maybe $6,500?
It has factory navi + back-up camera and 98k miles. Would love to get rid of it before the 105k tune-up comes near !

Viet, I would keep the TL somewhat return to stock and retain as DD, the G does looks nice tho.
I already had fun with the Lexus now lol, even its not F or F sport but with $10k drop into it sure it will be balling. BTW I love how smooth the transition from straight line to corner on FR car vs FF.

I actually think that's a fair price, although some people are dumping not greatly maintained ones for that with a normal title...I guess realistically, it's worth whatever someone would pay, but at the same time it might be worth it to you to keep the miles off your new baby.

I always liked that 2001-2005 IS300. It's a very small nimble car. I never drove one but I'm sure it handles nicely. I also agree with you about the way the handling feels upon turn-in on a RWD car compared to a FWD. Smooth is indeed correct

They had a break in burglary. The poor lady works 2 jobs and doesn't get home til 10pm. She walked up to her door at night and realized it was unlocked and was left open and freaked out. Came over to my house crying and scared. Unaware if someone was still in there or not, I grabbed my flashlight and knife and got to play police and clear the house out.
Talk about a adrenaline rush. Inside the home was pitch black and quiet. Drawers and closets were pulled fully open and clothing/random papers were scattered everywhere. Turning the corners in the hallway and entering doorways to rooms was pretty intense. Didn't know if someone was hiding behind the door or standing around the corner. Luckily no one was there and the police showed up shortly afterwards.
Turns out they broke in through the back room. The back bedroom is faced towards a alley. They jumped the fence in the alley and went through the window. Oddly enough the room they broke into had a laptop sitting on the bed and a flat screen in the corner. Both of which were untouched.
Ever since than she let us park our car in her driveway to make it seem like someone is home since she's so busy working.
Wow I am just completely derailing this thread aren't I

There's only one vehicle worthy enough to replace my 3G.
2016 RDX Elite. Nothing else matters.

I'm stuck in an era and will do anything physically possible to stay in this particular era. What era would that be? The 6MT era.
I don't care about the lightning quickness of a DCT. I'm not tracking my DD, so what the hell does it matter. I also would hate to see the price to replace two clutches in one of those transmissions.
I don't care for CVTs because, well, they suck balls. All around suck balls.
I don't care for granny shifting autos. Even fast shifting autos. Holy snooze button. Holy lack of engagement. Better than a CVT, but still shitty.
I don't buy the complaint that driving a manual is soooo annoying in stop and go traffic. It's never bothered me once. Never. Across my last 5 cars. Not once. Nope. Nada.
And with that, nothing puts a bigger shit eating smile on my face than a 6MT. And I will continue buying them until they no longer are available. Yup, I'm okay with my cars over the next 50 years being from an age quickly passing by.

I read your comment about the lip kit and looked at the pictures and thought to myself "I don't see a lip kit...." until I read your last sentance about the car being black and making it hard to notice. I can definitely relate to that. My TL was black and after owning a black car I promised myself that I would NEVER EVER own another black car ever again. It's so hard to see the body lines compared to a lighter colored car. Adding a a-spec lip kit on my TL made almost no difference. I don't think I would be too happy about dropping $5k on a lip kit that is hardly noticeable on my car because it's black.
That's the reason why I got a white G37S instead.
What color is your interior?
The interior is a cabernet color like a maroon red! Also by the next oil change in about 500 or so miles i may be looking at a RCF! those things are a beast and looks very mean!

Realistically, if my car were totaled today and I had to look for something to replace it, coming from an 06 Base TL 5AT , I would consider 2008ish GS 300's, or 2007+ G37 Coupe. I don't need the space of a sedan, and I've always loved the way the Infiniti coupes look.
If I were going for a new car, on a budget, it would be between 16' ILX w/A-Spec and a 16' Sonata Limited. Say what you want about Hyundai, but the new Sonata's look great.

The TL is back to 100% stock now. It's been that way since June/July. I made sure to get my money back from all the mods I put into it. The only thing aftermarket on the TL is a Injen CAI which I'm too lazy to swap (I don't have the factory airbox) so I planned on selling the car with the intake.

Yeah I definitely learned my lesson with buying a rebuilt titled vehicle. I bought it with intentions on keeping it forever but that didn't seem to last. Having the TL as a daily is nice, however our house only has a 2-car driveway but yet we have 4 vehicles. We park 1 car in the street, 2 in the driveway, and 1 at a neighbors house. Ideally I would like to get rid of the TL to free up some parking space. 1 of our next door neighbors was kind enough to let us park our vehicle in their driveway.

some great options here...
I have a co-worker that traded his SE-R Altima 6MT for a 2012 GS350 and tells me he thoroughly regrets it.
I guess, as usual...we all want what we don't have, be it versatility, space, mpg, speed, awd, fun to drive...
again, for me, the 3G scratches almost all those itches a LITTLE bit...

Well i did cut back on the modding, the GS right only has cosmetics (lip kit, spoiler/roof spoiler. Maybe wheels but the F-sport wheels already look good. As for the old TL it was fun because i decked it all out and it was fun to drive. Exhaust, intake, drop, wheels, aspec kit, lights etc and it was a lot cheaper to mod compared to the GS parts. The lip kit on my GS is about 5000 and that is with the roof and rear spoiler and not counting the rear apron! I do love the GS because people compliment it all the time! As for the leg room...it is bigger compared to the TL and i switched because AWD and drives in the snow like a champ!
Here are some pics of the GS so far:
Its black so its hard to see the lines! Its the Wald Kit!
And sorry to thread jack!

I'd probably just do the Tanabes and some wheels. Keep it simple.
I really need AWD and a little more room for 2 car seats.
Really don't want an SUV

I would avoid the AWD, G37xS, unless you truly need AWD for winter. The reason being is because the "sport" package for the AWD models is a gimmick. It is all cosmetic. There is no real "sport" enhancing upgrades compared to the RWD "sport" package.
In the RWD "sport" model you get
- Sport Tuned Suspension
- Sport Tuned Steering gear ratio
- Viscous Limited-Slip Differential
- Akebono Big Brake Kit with larger rotors. 4 Piston front, 2 piston rear calipers.
In the AWD "sport" you don't get anything listed above. Instead you get everything else that is also included in the RWD "Sport package"
- Sport front seats
- Paddle Shifters
- Sport Pedals
- Sport front bumper
- Sport wheels

Will definitely go for the G37s then LSD with the big brakes and suspension and whatnot sounds great.
It'll be a tough choice between that and a 3G TL-S!

Good point! Looks like I wasn't aware of the x designation and indeed the AWD version (which I wouldn't really need) with the Sport package is truly gimmicky, bleh!

I'm willing to bet you'll go home with the keys to the G.
The VQ37VHR motor is no joke. 1st and 2nd gear comes so fast thanks to the short gearing.

Several of my friends have owned G35s and have loved them, and I love the styling of the G37 specifically, so one might be in the cards in the future when I tire of dropping ludicrous amounts of money on the TL - I'd buy a coupe though, the 4 door Gs don't really do anything for me

VQ motors in general are pretty sweet. I drove an FX37 with that same motor & its amazing. Even my old Maxima which had the VQ35 was pretty darn impressive for the money. I've heard of 5th Gen Maxima's with 6MT's keeping up with TL-S with a couple of bolt-on's

I'll just make sure to keep a coupla quarts in the trunk for the burnt oil
And I know for a fact that I wouldn't go home in anything but the TL and not for any God or gift like reasons...only because it has the edge over everything because it's paid off!
It's a curse, kinda because when I consider another car...going from $0 per month to $600 is insane to me...whereas going from $450 to 600, I could probably stomach.

Well, I'd heard about it...and my buddy with the SE-R altima used to bitch about it constantly, it's probably been resolved in the newer iterations though...
I do remember when the 350 first came out, there was this whole segment on how it wouldn't hold an alignment and would eat through tires and the owners of the cars were pissed etc...
In my mind:
Toyota for Gas mileage
Nissan for Power
Honda for Reliability
I'm just another asshole on the web.

The refresh 350's didn't get any better as those one started to consume tons of oil in the HR motor...
I think you're pretty on the money with associating the brands, Nissan was good pre-Renault era in terms of reliability though, all went downhill after.
I don't think I'd ever own a newer Toyota, too boring

Nah just RT, there were rumors of them making a Durango SRT but not gonna happen since it's getting turned into a Jeep next year. Other than the engine and design it's not even that 'murica. It's more German underneath, the platform is from the DaimlerChrysler days and it's got a ZF 8 speed. Not as quick as my old Trailblazer SS but rides a hell of a lot better and the engine noise is addictive.

lol, noted.
I was looking at a B6 S4 last year before I decided on the 3G TL and it was great deal at 10k....but I was reading up on the timing chain tensioner service and how much that would cost on audizine and quickly noped out of that car....
But if I win the lotto I may go for a B7 S4 though....sick looking car
#77
It gets pricey but if you buy it with a good service history and all the major work and recommended maintenance was done than it should not be too bad. The timing chain service is expensive but it all depends where you take it to. I found a place where they will do it for $3800 including OEM timing chain kit and other parts required. FSI engines also need carbon buildup cleaning every 60 70k miles. What is nice about my A6 is that it has same engine as some of the V8 S4's So far it is the most powerful car I ever drove except lamborghini gallardo. Within 3 weeks of ownership I already spent almost 1k with maintenance and there is more to come... LoL but I freaking love the car!

Haha, before I heard of the timing chain problems of the 4.2's in the B6/B7 S4's I always thought I would get my hands on a B6 Audi S4 Avant with a 6spd. That was my dream car for a good while until I learned about what is like to actually own one....
#79
True that. I always wanted 2007 - 08 Audi A8L but maintenance is just too much. I bought A6 with same motor as A8 but I don't have to deal with air suspension and other expensive stuff. I call my car a mini A8 lol

I still remember this one old lady who brought her broken A6 4.2 actually decided to get the engine replaced at the dealer since it just shit the bed & I think the bill was a little under $14,000 but I wasn't sure if she had the extended warranty or not... Most expensive bill I saw was an RS7 getting a new engine and other bits where the bill came out to be almost $30,000, luckily it was covered by warranty...
