WTF Mike, you're a fuckin moderator. Stop being a dick. I got my car 2 years ago with only 25k miles.
Dude welcome to the board, you got one hell of a car, for one hell of a great price. Post and post often. Take a peek in the gallery for exterior mod ideas. Again, Welcome!

I dont speak for Mike but it is rare to find a 1st gen TL with low miles like that.

Damn, seems like your joining the club of "I fucking stole my car from the dealer for that price" that has been popping up around here lately. Nice car, but 97's are better

ok NOW to KEN like we all do here on the 1st Gen Subforum of Acurazine... lol...



Man we have had quite a hand full with 's around here the past week or two... anyways... WELCOME tlonfiya... like i tell everyone... you will find anything and everything about your 1st Gen here on this forum... #1 if you ask me... I'm your opposite according to the car... 1998 Acura 2.5 TL w/ 173,000+ miles...

About mike... man, sorry the first impression here was kind of out there but he is a really cool guy when it comes to asking questions... All of our mods here are cool... except esCarbonie, which i never seen post... not once since i've been a member... then again, i'm fairly new here too...

About the liar thing... DUDE!!! things on the forum don't necessaraly come out like they are meant... i'm sure there was no disrespect meant when someones opinion was stated... Anyways, about the mileage... if i were you, for being a 98... i'd check the CarFax or something similar... because according to my knowledge... its really easy to swap the gauge pod from a junked car... or at least take it to the dealer to have it checked out... if you got it from the dealer... then i don't really know what to say besides... ... ...

DAMN YOU ARE ONE LUCKY SOB FOR FINDING A TL W/ THAT MILEAGE!!! Automatic points for you...

Well, like i said before, hope you find us fun to talk to, interesting, and helpfull when it comes to the 1st Gen... of course since we don't have a lot of traffic here... there is always the ramblings section... hope you have a fun stay...

Just because they still fall under the emissions warrenty thingy... 98 is better... last year they were produced in Japan!!! Anyways, we are all one family here in the 1st Gen Sub-Forum of Acurazine...

No need to disrespect 982.5TL, I was simply stating that was unheard of, and no TL with that low of miles would have sold for that low.....PERIOD. I was still open to wut he had to say. And 982.5TL, I'm submitting your comments to the admin team......so this is a warning!

Mike, he could have left it at "your a moderator", or chosen a more P.C. word than "dick". Your calling his claim of milage into question, without following up with an explanation as to why you thought that (as you did later in the post) more than insinuated that you felt his statement was untrue.

My 2 cents are that if I saw that car for sale with those miles, I would need a mechanic to check the engine to make sure the miles were not rolled back, cause thats damn low. That car Kelly's at $10,215 in "good" condition for private party value, and $13,075 retail value, trade in is 8,270.
