My New Whip

I just picked it up yesterday. 2009 TL SH-AWD w/Tech and umber interior.
The total was about 57,000 CAD - $5000 cash incentive so... $52,000 but my mom was able to get it down to a flat $48,000 including the all weather mats. I paid another $700 for the 10 year warranty rustproofing (prlly a stupid idea). My mom tried to get free oil changes but the guy says Acura doesnt do that. Is this true? Even though my mom helped me negotiate I'm paying for it. is this a good deal? Im 24 and this is my first whip. thnx.

^^Canadian AWD TL's get headlight washers, there's a little button down by the VSC switch. I haven't been brave enough to try it yet..

You'd probably have to get a new bumper, and redo a bunch of wiring, find a place to store the washer fluid (I'm guessing it's different than windshield washer fluid). Not worth it IMO. As cool as it may be to have, I for one, know I'd never use it.
