Crucifer's Update - New Car

I never got around to posting the new ride here I purchased her in the middle of Feb.

I will sadly be selling the TL this upcoming week shes hit a mileage cap in my eye and so she must be off to someone who doesn't drive 100 miles a day.

Though she will contribute to a bundle of mods for the new car.

I picked up the new project:







When Purchased Mileage:



New Mileage:

well atleast it's a good decent down-grade from the TL to a Civic Si... i would add as
much anti-theft to her. the si is a favorite amongst car theives... get lo-jack and a auto-lock too!

^Ouch...I'm glad you are okay!

And holy hell, the Civic is low on miles! Sounds like you have a pretty good commute though. Good luck with the new project

wow, nice pick up! I love those cars! It's hard to find one where I live that hasn't already been modded by someone. I was actually looking into buying the same car, same color, 2 or 3 years ago but I could not find a nice one that hadn't already been customized by someone else. I wanted to find one that I could make my own and that didn't happen. Oh well tho, maybe I will start looking again because I really LOVE these cars!
Low milage huh? NICE!! Would you mind telling us how much you paid?

10,000 in cash. and not at all

I've been asked each time i've posted pics so i figured i'd let it out. Technically i'll be turning a profit it won't cost me anything in the long run.

I plan on selling my TL for 11,000 so i'm actually turning a +1000 profit for a car with 90,000 less miles and more moddable.

I Find it funny that I actually upgraded from a red Civic SI to the TL recently... and yes gas mileage is pretty horrendous on the TL...but i upgraded because I only put about 400miles a month on the coche...and i wanted to ride in a lil bit of luxury.

But I always loved that SI color man.

Don't do it! You will ruin the whole car imo..........pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease don't do it!
Just sell me the car if you can't appreciate the color, the color is one of the best parts of it!

Don't worry its getting a proper much needed re-paint.

Where are you from if you match the price I might consider selling it...as I've been having so many doubts about her its odd...i can't look at my TL the same anymore because I feel ashamed i'm ditching her.

I wish I could find a good 30,000 mile tops WDP 04-06 Manual TL

But since I doubt i'll sell both I am repainting her in colors you all know and love...

That sucks that you have sell the TL but a Civic SI is nice.
Lots of goodies you can put in the Civic. Just my 2cents here, but I
would think the TL will last just as long as the Civic would. As far as
mileage & overall resale. But then again paying cash for a ride is nice.
Not having a car note is a great thing. Also the SI would be a better
car to mod rather than the TL. (more options)

BTW That blue is beautiful.

Yeah I like it for the mods too. The TL has 110,000 miles the Si has 28,000. The TL gets far less mpg and to get its 105,000 mile maintenance (which i've been putting off) would cost 2 grand here. And i'm not down for forking that much money out on a 110,000 mile car. that 2 grand can buy quite a few starter mods for the Si.
