I hate to sell the first car I ever bought with my own money. I have babied that car since the very beginning ... now I'm even changing the oil, changing the brakes ... I've learned so much about basic car repairs/maintenance on the TL. I know the motor will last another 100,000 miles, but not the tranny ... I'd love to keep the TL-S but the wife won't allow me to keep 2 cars (or else I would have bought a 2002+ NSX an imported one by now with the great exchange rate)

The dealer told me it'll be tough to find a Canadian allocation with my specs, so it'll take at least 2-3 months for the order to go through. In the meantime, I'll part out my car, and then post my car on trader. I'll use the Acura / Honda sites I frequent to maybe sell the car first. Those people will know how much I've put into this car.

Of course ... in the meantime ... new cars from the Tokyo or Detroit autoshows may sway me to wait for the 'next big thing'. (GT-R, perhaps? There's also a rumour, which I read there, I think ... a G37 with GT-R parts ... a M3 competitor!)
