Well my car is currently at the dealer waiting for new rear tires because BMW didnt have any in stock. The reason I need new tires is because I ran over debris in the road on my way home Friday hopefully the tire warranty will cover the replacements. Other than that I have purchased some maintenance items for the car on eBay to save myself some money for example.
Cabin Air Filter: Dealer price $25-$35 each and the car takes two I found them on eBay two for $20.
Oil Filter: Dealer price $32 found on eBay for $15
Engine Air Filter: Dealer Price $30-$40 each and the car takes two Found an auction two for $35
But the dealer does have a good price on the oil it used to be $11.75 a liter but they raised the price to $13.50 which is still cheaper than I can find it on the internet for once you add shipping costs in.

I have an '02 Supercharged RSX with a couple of goodies, hopefully we can get a big Acura meet going this summer! Travis posted a day but no one has really responded. I would really think about the last week end of the month.

I had to fight my way out of nerd hell where Jake sent me. I finally got the Beast back today with two new rear tires replaced under warranty because I hit road debris if I didn't have that warranty it would have been $1200. Now I have to get the fronts replaced to match the rears.

Hey everyone! New member here as well as to the Acura community.
I just bought a 1998 Acura CL and am looking for a reliable mechanic in NE Minneapolis if possible. Can anyone recommend one?
Also, I bought the car with a decent sized dent on the driver side front wheel well caused by a truck. Here are some pics:
Is there a way I can get this fixed?
Sorry for the questions...just a noob here
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

But seriously call around to some junk yards or just take it to a body shop and get an estimate. Then you can see how much a fender and door panel for a CL will cost. Trying to fix this using NOS OEM panels would probably cost more than the car is worth to fix. Also the paint has 14 years of wear and a freshly painted new panels will never match.

Any of you guys have any sales guys that you like? Iv never really been impressed with the sales guys at Bloomington.
I'd like to find a sales guy that I actually communicate with before we go order a car lol. After driving several cars today, i think were gonna get the best deal on an MDX and we will probably order the exact one we want. So yea. lol

I'll look into it haha.
Im going to talk to my sales guy tomorrow at Luther Infiniti. They will give me VPP pricing on any new Infiniti so im gonna see what they will do on an FX35.
Today was a busy day, drove a '12 Ford Explorer Limiter, '12 GMC Acadia Denali, '12 Acura MDX, '12 BMW X5 35d, and a '12 VW Toureg V6 Lux.
It has basically come down to an '12 Acura MDX Tech and a '12 Infiniti FX35 with Premium and Nav packs (essentially have the same features on both vehicles) both in white :P
It is going to be a tough decision... :/
