I traded my 2001 TL with 225k miles and got my wife a 2013 Optima SXL (White).
My 05 has 90k miles $10,310 out the door! I will be able to pay it off in 19 months. My wife is jelly of the Camel Interior.

Looking at Rear Lip Spoiler, Blue LED interior lights, and a front lip (don't know which one yet). I want to keep it simple for re-sale. I would like to swap some 07-08 Rims though.

@ Tones160 pay it off!!! lol I was doubling up payments on my Expedition for 6 months so I could sell it.

I remember the days when my ABP looked like that...

Congrats and welcome to AcuraZine.

IMHO- do the ASPEC front lip or complete kit if you can.

How did you find one for that price?? I've been looking for 3 months and haven't found a clean one for under $12,000 + tax

CB9 it was a challenge but much like yourself I searched for months. It wasn't until I was ready to give up my search as I was test driving an 05' C32 (terrible ride) that I remembered this car being on a Chrysler lot. I pulled in. The original asking was 12k. After haggling for a week (it was end of month also. Haggled from 27th-31st and signed on 31st) I got the selling price to 11k. After tax and fees it came to 12.3k I put 2k down and drove off with a car under 90k miles that looks brand new. Lol. Dealers are thirsty at end of month especially on a car that isnt their brand.
