Talking Just picked up my IS300 today

After crashing two, yes you read right, TWO, SC300's in the last month, I decided to try my luck with something else

2002
Auto
Dark grey/silver exterior
Black interior

Leather, HIDs, etc. No navigation or LSD, which I will take car of eventually. Picked it up from my local Acura dealership for $17,300 out the door.

I plan on holding off on any serious mods for the time being. I want my loan paid off within a year.

I got a pretty decent deal. They are out there, its just a matter of timing and how far away the car is from you. Keep an eye on here, IS300.net, cars.com, eBay, and autotrader, and you'll find one. Its a full time job surfing all those sites, let me tell ya.

After two wrecked SC's in one month ( assuming you were at fault ) , do you still have insurance? If so, never mind the mods.....you may have to save just to get the premiums paid.

If you were NOT at fault in these accidents, then, fine...you can probably make normal plans.

Yes, I was at fault. But I only made one claim, no other cars were involved, and it was a relativly small claim (<$10k) so insurance isnt really an issue.
