Okay gang, first post.......

So I've been test driving this '02 TL-S w/35K miles for a few days now. It looks flawless, and drives great. (I'm getting a lot of respect on the highway.) Anyway, I'm ready to buy the car but there is no owners manual! It has me wondering what is the service history on this vehicle. How do I find this info out? Also, being that there is no warranty info, how do I know what is covered and what's not? Should I take it to an Acura Dealer to get checker out? What will they charge me? I hate buying cars!! :smackhead

 

Anyone out there?? I have to make my move this weekend. Drinks on me!!

 

It should still be under factory warranty. Also, have the dealer buy a manual for you..... it's the least they can do after you drop $$ on a nice car.

Here is some info:
Acura Factory Warranty - 4yr. / 50,000 miles
Extended Factory Transmission Warranty - 7yr. / 100,000 miles

Thanks Brain!!

 

the manual is also available in PDF format on the acura website....

 

The dealer can look up the VIN on his service computer. He can tell you what maintenance has been done at Acura dealerships from date of service. I found out my car was in a fender-bender a couple of years before I bought it, because the dealer did the bodywork...(ouch, expensive!)

I couldn't find any .pdf's of owners manual online. All I saw was a place to order manual. Is there any file available for the 2004 TL online?

 

Manual schmanual.... u dont need it, take it if its free, otherwise, come here if you have a question. thats what were here for.

I personally will only buy a car from the original dealership it was purchased from.

I got my '99 from Crown Acura, so i knew who leased it, whats was done to it, and i got the certified warranty. which is turning out to be tottaly worth it.

my car was owned by a 48 year old non smoking house wife who did her normal service schedule. good stuff.

 

This forum is great for questions, but I don't have anything specific, just wanted to browse the manual to learn more about the features such as the details of Navigation menus, how many waypoints can be saved, does it have north up or road up, etc.

I just searched on Ebay, there are a bunch of manuals available. Should be able to get one for much less than retail.
