Lets just say not enough. It was paid off, so that was a plus.
I traded in my 02 S2000 with 61,000 miles (needed clutch, rear tires, brakes all around and some other cosmetics like a front bumper repaint) and my 03 3.2TL with 69,000 miles (needed new front bumper (damn raccoons) and brakes all around) for a total of $26,000. I only owed money on the TL, so ended up with just under $10,000 in positive equity. Sticker on the new TL was 35,670 which I got down to $33,300. A little more out of pocket and I was out the door at just a hair over $23,000 with tax and all!
suprisingly i havent yet. Its been about 7 weeks, and the TL feels and handles incredibly well for a FWD. Off ramps taht I could take at 60 in the S after lowering it I can do at 50-55 in the TL stock.
The one thing I will not miss at all though is the torque. i loved the feel of VTEC in the S, but the almost instant torque of the TL is nice to have for daily driving which I do a lot of. I go to downtown for school everyday at peak traffic hours (between 7:30 and 8:30 AM) so its nice to be able to keep it in second gear without having to worry about lugging the engine!
I have had the urge to drift every once in a while, but my overall happiness with the car quickly helps me overcome that urge.
