I was going to go with a new Jetta or something before doing research on reliable, used luxury. The TL really fit the bill and has been a nice 30th birthday present for myself! I picked her up just this past Monday 5/9.
It was a very good example, just some scratches on the hood and low rear. The interior is virtually pristine!

Interesting way I bought this car. Found it on craigslist... was located about 1.5 hours from Austin. Checked it out, bought it. Found out it was originally delivered to the Acura dealership less than a block from where I live way on back in 2004. Sales guy's biz card smashed in the middle of the owner's manual. Small world.

Here's a pic yesterday of me cleaning it out for my trade at the end of the week for a CPO 2015 Volvo V60 T5 AWD Platinum Edition.
Car has about 243,000 miles on it. A great commuter car. The outside looks crappy, but the inside was still nice.
2004 Acura TL 3.2L Six speed manual, navigation. DC Sports swaybars, eiback lowering springs, a really bad replacement air filter...
The car sat for two years undriven, and there's been work done by at least two people with different priorities and directions (there's remains of what looks like it was once a really nice stereo system, that was removed to save weight for the next owner that was into drag racing).
I'm planning on going yet another direction with the car, I want something that handles well for distance driving (so bye bye lowering springs). I'm willing to sacrifice some degree of comfort for suspension stiffness (my other car is a one ton truck, so there's a lot of leeway there).
