I am the proud owner of a new (just 3 miles, well, before my 11 mile test drive) '05 Acura TL w/ NAV (AT, Anthracite w/ ebony). I am SOOOOO happy. This is a very exciting and elegant vehicle. You cannot go wrong. Now, I will enjoy my drive to work, and not mind so much the traffic.

 

Welcome to the forums


Great combo and choice. Enjoy.

 

Congrats!

My TL is exactly 1 year old today -15,000 trouble free miles of smiles.
You have lots to look forward to.

Enjoy

Enjoy and welcome!

 

Congrats. That is the exact car that I will be taking delivery of in a few weeks!! Contgrats on the beautiful Color combo!

 

Congrats!!!

 

Can't go wrong with a color combo like that!! Enjoy the new ride. Been loving mine ever since....

 

Yep. Mine is Anthracite/Ebony/6MT/Nav. For a while around the Northern Virginia area, you only saw a few anthracites running around. Now, that's the most common color I see on the road. Just a week ago, there there three of use sitting at a light.. one for three of the four intersecting roads!

 

Congrats. Great choice on the color - be sure to keep it looking great with Zaino or other products. That color is easier to keep clean than others so you can go longer between washes. And great choice on going with the Navigation - a great Christmas bonus to yourself!

 

TLAC... congratulations on your most astute purchase, and welcome to the most informative and helpful sites on the TL by far.

Just remember to RTFM....
Search previous posts for information,

Enjoy the Car, and enjoy your time here...

not just great color combo, the BEST color combo

 

Congrates and Welcome!

 

Just bought my wife an '05 TL, anthracite/camel/AT/NAV. Picking it up on Thursday, then stashing it somewhere until Christmas morning. Not a bad deal for me, either - I get her '01 Audi A4.

 

Congrads to you.. Down in San Diego here, I Just got mine on Dec 10th. Havent hit 600 miles yet. You will love the car.

 

For those of us still shopping in your area:

What did you pay?
What Dealership?
Were they nice?
Did they throw in any extras?

 

Welcome, the search is your friend. Plenty of recent information.

 

You have great taste in colors, ABP/Quartz. Picked mine up on 11/23, just turned 1700 miles. Biggest problem is keeping my foot off the gas pedal.

 

One month to trade in the Audi for another TL or...

Thank you all for your comments.

I just went over the 100-mile mark.

I am giving demos to all my family members and friends - I really don't mind at all - and they just LOVE the car. I can't remember being so stocked about a car before!!!!!

714tman
1- Paid 33,795 plus TTL
2- Downey Acura
3- VERY happy with the service. I was out in 3 hours.
4- I got the splash guards, wheel locks, trunk tray, and three free "change of oil" service.

Well, I have to go and keep on testing, see if I can get to 200 miles before the end of the day.

 

Nice x-mas present for yourself. Congrats!

 

payed 33,904 + extras sold me spoiler kit for cost instead of the double markup
Ball dealership in San Diego. Cush is a much bigger dealership, but they dont want to make a deal
They were nice to a certain point. Just be stern. I really dont want to bash any particular person, but if you want to know specifics in the deal send me a message.
The extras they threw in were cost for the spoilers all the way around, and threw in the protection package.

 

YUP I love the colors. had to wait a month for it but oh well. Not to many miles on it though. I still have my other car for that. Oh if its sunny this weekend, going to take some pics out by the beach.

 

I paid the same price at Downey but they wouldn't throw in any of the extras. I paid $1500 for underbody spoilers + deck lid installed though, which seems to be a a decent amount less than what other dealerships offered me. Oh well

Downey gets the thumbs up from me.
