Just got a new 04 TL

Just came home with an auto silver 04 TL with navi. Dealer only wanted to give me $9k for my 01 CL-s with navi because I have 78k miles on it. So now I have to sell the bitach on my own. I hate dealing with that crap.

$9k is so sad. It really makes me wish I did not want a new car.

Congrats on the new TL. They are sweet cars!

well if you are looking to trade it in do it before 75k, that is where they draw the line because can't offer certified cars past that.

salesman told don't take the $9k and sell it myself for $11-13k. In fact he gave me a couple of names of people who have came to him in the past month looking for CL's. So that was pretty cool of him

I just passed 75k last week. I guess I will keep it for a while..... unless I get a really good deal on something else. Would love to have a new TL, but it is a little out of the price range for now.

I bought it from Castle Acura in New Castle, DE. I orignally was going to do it thru an Online dealer near the Philly Airport but I wanted to buy it from dealer closer to me. So once I got their quote I went to my dealer and had them match it.

Is there any reason or risk that Achance should "ph33r" the auto tranny?

-It is however. An extremely nice car. If I had that kind of cash, i'd probably... do somethin really stupid with it seeing how as I'm only 18. (Maybe buy a watch. Yeah. A really nice watch).

Did they give you a deal on it? Or I should say are dealers negotiating on these cars yet?

I got it for $33,680 it came with navi, lifetime oil changes, mud flaps, trunk mats, tire locks, and body side molding. So I got a decent deal on it, its not a killer deal but its alright. I could of gotten for $300 less at another dealer 50 miles away without the lifetime oil changes but this dealer is right up the street from me

Sell it to Carmax. Best balance between good price and quick sell. Sold two cars to them and will continue doing so...

No one said anything about diamonds. You don't even need a metal band. Tags are cool but not this "Incredible" watch they are marketed to be.

I have to say it is a really nice car, I had 04 TL with Navi for a loaner for a 10days, ended up driving 1200miles lol I was very impressed with it so much that i decided to try for approval with Honda Finance, was able to get approved @ 4.9% only think i did not like was the $600/month payment

Loved the Navi though and XM radio, the seats, maybe next year. For the money you can't beat the options it comes with, there is nothing like it in its class.

the TL is a phat ass car.... i saw an A SPEC at my dealer in Novi, Mich... and it was off the hook...

only problem was they rubbed the 18 inch rims already, so it had some rim damage as it sat in the dealer showroom...

what idiots dealers can be to damage a car before it even sold...

was a nice black on black TL A Spec, and yes the interiors are amazing...

good shyt maynard...
