Advice... Please

Ok. So, I own a 07 TL with 101k miles on it. I originally bought the car with 96k mi (crazy miles, I know), but I got an awesome deal/one owner. Question is, is it worth it to spend money on it? Like, I want to do things like buy a v2 intake (love the sound), some type-s tails, heads, wheels. What should I do?

If it's well maintained and runs good then why not.

Sure bro. You are talking about a honda product. At 100k, It's just getting going. With normal care Hondas don't die. So enjoy it. Do everything you've wanted like its 50k. Even J-pipe Exhaust if you want.

Des,

I just spent close to 2k on mine and I just got it with 110k miles

Its been maintained and just had the 105k service done.

If it looks and runs good, do it if you plan on keeping the car for a while, and don't care too much about losing money.


If not, then why did you buy it in the first place

Go for it. As others have said, the car will last another 100K easy.

I'm nearing 100K and am sorta apprehensive about modding. Not because of the mileage, but because I know I'll have the car for another 2 years at most. Granted that is a long time, I am happily content with how the car is now. Saves me money.

Do what makes you happy. Don't worry about the car dieing, because it won't.

So, you're gonna ask on an Acura forum if it's worth it???? OK, I'm guessing the answer will overwhelmingly be "yes".
Just a guess.......

100K is nothing. Start with aesthetics.
Do the tails and side markers. Just make sure you do what makes you happy.

Dat, it doesn't matter how many miles your TL has on it. But the one big question is-how long do you intend to keep the car? With over 100,000 miles, that's the first question you should answer. Like the guys said, it is a Honda product. So if you're into the car for the long haul-mod away!
