Heads up

Before you put money down on the TL in the lot.Check the mileage,those salesmen, mechanics ,whoever like test driving the new cars.It's probably safe to say they are not worried about the break in period.Mine had 100 miles on before I had it on the road. A phone call is in order to the Acura manager.

the only break in is dont use the cruise control for the first 1000 miles. the car can be driven hard of the truck, oh yeah and dont brake hard for the first 250 miles so the pads get cured.

Your joking right?

You should keep your RPM's down on a brand new engine.

I do not think I would buy a car with 100 test miles. At least not when the dealer is charging full sticker and new cars are arriving weekly.
