Also, I paid $15,000 cash for my TL in 2003, and I love the car. But if I knew then what I knew now, or took more time to think about what i wanted out of a car and what my options were, I would have probably picked up a used DB8 94-02 4-door Integra (maybe a GS-R :wink
and put the rest into a solid turbo build; reliability, performance, and amazing gas mileage - an overall fun car and something I know I would enjoy for years to come. Again, this is all just my personal opinion

COSIGN. Unless you get a full-ride to med school, you'll be in debt and paying off loans until you're 40 with annual med school tuition exceeding $50K and the cost of starting up a medical practice in the hundreds of thousands. Of course, you're only 17 and it's your reward for academic achievement so 350Z it is. That car was my present to myself after completing residency

Alright guys well it seems as if my graduation present might be coming a little earlier than expected. MY TL's Transmission took a shit on my way to work. i luckily made it to Goodson Acura here in Dallas where the tranmission totally failed in the parking lot. So now im stuck without a car. I was going to repair the transmission and still drive it but acura care only pitched in 25% for the tranny which would still cost me around 2500-3000 bucks. Now my question to you all is what do I do with the TL with 140k on the clock? Part out or what? I have now been looking into getting the G35 Coupe the replacement ASAP cause i need a way to get to classes.

I have to get a automatic unfortunately because sometimes the cars get switched around and my parents some times end up driving my car. My parents are typical indian parents, american cars don't fly with them lol.
