My '08 Type-S only included a maintenance journal so I was looking to get the rest of the items in the set from eBay, but am not really sure it's worth the $10-15 extra to include things like the CD or DVD. I know I could view the PDFs free online, but would also like a hard copy to keep in the car. Should I bother trying to buy a complete set?

 

I have the same issue. I got an 08 in June, and the owner's manual wasn't in the glove box. I contemplated buying a new one for $50. But, you can find anything online or ask someone on here and find your answer. The people on here are very knowledgeable about TLs.

 

I'd say it's worth it just to keep it in your car.

If it's just $10-$15 more, that's a small price to pay for what could make a big difference.

 

I have it, used it a couple times when I got the car. For the last 2 yrs its just sat on my shelf not being touched

 

the guy i bought my car off of gave it to me with the car but to be honest i havent even used it yet lol. i come here for any questions i have, the people on these forums are friendly and very helpful! but doesn't hurt to have it!

 

the only reason why you would want that stuff is if you were preserving the TL in an air conditioned storage room.

i think i listened to the sample dvd-a like once.
the manual i use.
but nothing else is useful, unless you just like that kinda stuff

 

For me its worth owning because im weird like that and prefer to have everything original that came with the car. Here is a picture I took of absolutely everything that should have come with an 07/08 Acura TL. As far as actually using them it wont be very often, but I have referred to the original owners manual from time to time. When it comes time to sell the car its always nice to have those kind of things too.

In this picture are all the manuals (there are a bunch), including the quick reference guide. My leather case is still in its wrapper as all the manuals and paperwork were in the original ziplock bag still.

^i have my window sticker as well!
my car came from Jay Wolfe Acura in Kansas!

 

Yeah window stickers are cool to keep. Only thing different about mine is notice the CVA and "not for sale" words where prices normally are.

 

If you don't mind me asking where can I get the shop manual any one got a link? Thx

 

I have my window sticker, car was serviced at Acura dealers its whole life before I bought it and I have all that paper work. Guy that owned before me was meticulous with records. Not that it matters but he was Asian. I also got the owners manuals as well. I looked at the manual a couple times and it has been in the glove box for 2+ yrs now collecting dust.

 

You can download the factory service manual online...google it. I got mine for free!

 

i'm in the same boat

feels incomplete w/o it, but it'll come in handy for quick reference

i d/l from acura's site, but will just have to print it out

if any members wanna sell it cheap or donate please let me know

lol
