Whats up guys. I just registered today and this is my first post. I came here because I know the best people to ask are the ones that love the car. I live in Rhode Island (02904) and I'm looking to buy a TL but having some trouble choosing which one. I searched on cars.com and so far narrowed it down to 4 TL's (Links below) around my area. I'm tryin to keep it under 10g's. I've done some research and know these cars commonly have transmission problems.

Can you guys help me make a decision? Any suggestion/comments are welcome. I will be checking this thread every half-hour, so replys will be consistent.

Thanks in advance.

2003 TL

2000 TL

2001 TL

2001 TL (2)

 

not a bad price for the 03...wondering why its kinda that low...must be interior dmg, but if it all checks out id take the 03..

 

well for what its worth, like a month after i got my 99 tl i really really really wanted to get the 02-03 style haha. just like the front end more. but yea, i dunno that 03 they have up for that low, im guessing there might be something up with it. gotta check them out in person. run the vins, see the history. check the car auctions if you can, dunno bout providence but i know boston has some big ones. good luck

 

Yea most likely on saturday I'm going to check out all the cars in person. Test drive and do the best inspection I can. The 03 is my number one choice but there is most likely something wrong with it for that price.

 

be sure to get a car fax or other vehicle history report- stolen, wrecked, flooded etc etc. Look at the frame etc for prior accidents etc. good luck.

 

Also register the vins at acura (under owners link) and see if they still have any warranty left on the trans extension

 

For 10 grand you should be looking for a 01-02 with less than 80k on it. I bought mine with 65k for 10 just 4 months ago.

 

If you're in the market for a TL. I have one for sale. Why buy from a sketchy dealer when you can know the history of your next car.

 

Out of the 4, I'd go with the SSM with nav...but keep looking

 

Sounds better... Let me know the details on the car, pictures would be great also. Just send me a private message.

whats up man? do you need a car right away? i would say if you could hold off and save some money and go for a type s if it is practical for you to wait.

 

Yeah out of the 4 you listed, I'd go with the one with Navigation or the Black one. Is there a price your trying to stick with? Are you looking for something local? There's a lot of nice cars in the Member Cars for Sale Thread https://acurazine.com/forums/member-cars-sale-49/ have you checked it out?
