I've decided to to leave a job in the coming month(s) which has provided me with a company car for the past few years. While the move will positively impact my carrer & income, I will no longer have the company car. It's certainly a possibility I will receive a company car again, however, a few companies I'm looking at upgrading to - offer car allowances in place of providing a car. With this in mind, i've decided that if I receive the car allowance, I would like an 04-05 TSX, or an 02-04 RL - something along the lines of 18-23K, relatively low mileage. Do you have any Recommendations/advice? Because it will be a car i'll be running the wheels off of, these are the two cars which are semi-nice, and reliable/dependable. Any comments or advice?

 

TSX its way more modern and newer.. you wont be dissapointed!! those older RLs are for old farts.

 

I like my Lexus IS300. What about a TL? I guess you could not find a TL for 18-23.

 

Does it have to be a 4dr sedan?

 

It doesn't have to...would just me more functional for samples / clients in the back seat etc. TSX just seems smallish to me - any other cars I should look at?

 

agreed, why not look at a TL?

 

You can by a certified 02-03 TL typeS with Nav for between 18K and 21K.

 

Definetly tempting - would you reccomend any dealers or places to look for this car??

 

I am down in Columbus and Lindsy Acura always has a lot of these in stock. A friend of mine I work with picked up an 02 late last summer for 20,500.00 (after negotiating) with 33k miles on it. Black type S with Nav, certified and had new brake pads, tires, and a new windshield. The car was in very good shape and very clean. Lindsy really goes through the cars and will show you what they have done to the car.

 

TL all the way
