MandoTL

Okay, so I'm new to this forum website. Okay, Acurazine Members! I'm in the market to find an 3G Acura TL. I found an 05' Acura TL w/Nav and 5spd. AUTO. that has 80xxx miles on it. Buying from a private seller. Asking $13,400. Clean title. White w/tan leather(if that helps)? No dents just very tiny, minor chips in front. 1 owner with all documents of dealer services. Are there any major problems I should worry about for this model year? Or anything I will need to do on the car soon, if i buy it?

I have been waiting to get one for the past 6yrs. Upgrading from a 1991 Acura integra LS coupe. great car but need something newer since I commute on occasionally to visit my family need safety(priority)from SD to Ventura County (If that tells you anything on how I far I travel). I rarely drive In San Diego mainly stay on campus.

P.S. I have relatives with a lot of experience in working on newer cars and older ones who own their mechanic shops, so maintenance is no biggy.

First of all welcome

I think the price is pretty fair. Keep in mind that the car averaged 16k miles a year, a little more than average.

Coming from experience I would make sure there are no rattles inside while you are driving and also see how smooth the transmission shifts. Unfortunately the Honda automatic transmissions from 2001 forward have a pretty bad reputation. No it's not guaranteed that yours will go out, but some preventative maintenance wouldn't hurt.

Keep in mind that at 105k miles there is a large and pricey service that needs to be completed. Timing belt, water pump, and some other stuff needs to be changed.

Good luck
