NEWB Checking in Just bought a 00 TL

This is my 50th car, yes I have Automotive ADHD. but thats beside the points.
Just picked up a 00 3.2 TL for 5000 bucks. Mint condition. Although it has a million miles on it. Its on its third trans and it has only seen VTEC about 4 times. Third trans has over 100K on it so Im not worried about that. Its Light green/gray.

I too, have owned many cars over the years. I am completely convinced, that I will stay with Acura. My next ride is a 3rd Generation TL, absolutely. And I am a car ho!

But at 50, my friend, you are, what psychologists call........an enigma!

If the third transmission has 100k miles, just how many miles does this thing have? Could it beat Kris's car?!

So the two highest mileage TLs on the board are both the same year and color.

Wow that's crazy that you are both from the same state, have the same car, and nearly the same extremely high mileage!

It looks good for 189k by the way.

Give us the report, how is everything holding up to age and mileage? What works and what doesn't? Suspension been replaced? How about more pics.

I have a few more pics. But I am going to resize them all.
Everything is factory and in perfect working order, only thing that has been replaced is the tranny.
Bought it from my 50 your old father in law one owner.
Only thing damaged is the Driver seat bolster thing the leather is worn off which will show up in one of the pictures
