that's just the angle of the wheel and my position. It's even the whole way around. I would think that damage like that would show up on carfax when airbags deploy.

All lines are excellent and paint matches all around the car also. Each part has the vin sticker. I think that you could buy those but normally insurance won't pay for that.

 

Its amazing how old that interior looks design-wise. Interior design has come such a long way in just 7 years....

 

Congrats dude. Always loved those RLs.

 

thanks, i dropped it near home last night to have the dings removed and hopefully the pinstripes

 

Cool. I thought you wanted some more years out of the ES.

 

Very nice. I think I'm in the same boat with you as far as replacing cars. The TL was bought new, and I don't think I'll be doing that again. The depreciation is just too much, let someone else eat that.

 

i did. this one i will run to 250-300k

 

on 25k .........whore

 

That's why I picked up my RL. I know that it'll be as reliable as my 96 TL with minimum maintenance.

The TL is at 251K now. I picked up the RL with 127 and have almost put on 10K so far. It's a great car.


Also - someone said something about outdated interior. As much as I agree, I actually like the simplicity of it, less stuff to break.

 

nice mileage. i should get 10 years out of this one. it's a timeless exterior, but you are right, simple is good.

I am still looking around for a 96-98 tl gold to possibly replace the integra. but the integra gets good mileage so that may never happen.

 

Ha, that interior is basically from 1996. I think considering that, its aged well. Course thats my opinion.

Still love my dads 02 RL. Hes had it since new and been rock solid for 130k abusive miles.

Once he plans to sell it, if ever, then i want to buy it for a nice DD.

 

1st gen TL's are amazing cars.

I still manage to get 25mpg sometimes 25.7ish on hwy with that mileage.

 

is that with the 2.5? i thought the 3.2 was 22-24 or so

 

Yes, it's the 2.5. I believe it's rated somewhere in the 18/25 range. I'm just surprised that I can still get 25+ after 250K miles.

 

I love it! Congrats!

 

Took me a while. Thanks.

 

Very nice!

Good luck with it, us it only in good health!

 

the engine hit red rev at less than 6000rpm.....must be a great highway cruiser.

 

smooth as silk. I can't abuse this car like the es. When i try to take corners like i used to do, the car says, i'm not that kind of car. that's why i have the yellow car.

shoofin, thanks for taking some time to talk about options. This one was ripe for the picking. If anyone is ever looking for a car, talk to eddie.

 

btw, most dings have been removed. There are a couple that he was only able to partially get out b/c of their position. BUt one is not going to really make a difference.. The pinstripes are on for good, they're painted. bah

I am very happy with making the decision of getting the dings removed. A normal person will never know the dings were ever there. Even someone who is looking will have a hard time seeing where they were.

It was $500 to do the entire car, and the guy was from MD and does a lot of dealer cars so he has some experience.
