Bought the car last July with 30k miles on it and she has been around the block a few times over the past year and half. I have been good to her and she has been good to me. I will hit the 105k mark in a month so I will be hitting the dealer for the timing belt, water pump, etc. All other work has been performed by me. I would go broke if I had the dealer change the oil once a month. Not to mention the trans fluid, plugs, filters, etc.

I am not joking when I say this, I need at least another 150k out of her before I even think about a new car. Thank god I bought an Acura. I will keep everyone posted how she holds up over the months.

I did 432 miles today. The 825 trip miles is what I have done since Monday!!

59 degrees??? You bastard!!!

J/K... I had 150,000 on my '99 TL when I traded her in, I would kept her for another 100,000 but the body was beat to shit!

shooter

That's a lot of driving dude .... congrats & keep it safe out there ....

mmade22

Your Phillies just won...Your the bastard!!! Just kidding. Yeah, the north takes it's toll on the car and how it looks over time. Most people who see my car think it's got 30k on it. Not a dent or scratch anywhere. Road chips are on the nose of course but she is mint. Garaged kept since day one always helps.

59 degrees was cold today!

rotaryboy

LOL I just hit 100k myself on Monday. Car feels like it could last forever.

I have like 79k on my 04 TL. Anything coming up that I NEED to change ? I have done oil changes, tires(twice) and brakes. Thats about it...Car is garaged every night.

chill_dog

Nice!

Distorted Reality

That's crazy, I have like 25,000 I thought I have alot of miles lmao.

mmade22

Trans fluid needs to be changed and the plugs, seafoam in the tank, all filters changed, in other words.....maintenance.

These cars are great as long as you take care of them. The way you drive always helps.

SilverJ

what is seafoam in the tank ?

mmade22

It's a additive to add to your gas to clean the fuel injectors. Can be bought at any auto parts store. Search on here and you will see a lot of people using it. I am getting 32 mpg on warm days all highway...

Damn, really? I would have never guessed your car had that many miles, looks mint

Hopefully, many more miles to come!

mmade22

Thanks man....Yeah the car is clean and I still need to see yours one day in person. You need to meet up with us guys here in Charlotte one weekend. Your car is bad!!!!

sanjbaby

I have a 03 CL S 6spd and have been thinking about trading it in for a TL. Glad to see these cars don't have any maint issues.

I have 115K on the clock now.

congrats on 100K miles. how about hitting a million...next

mn2trance

Wow! Based from the pics of your car that you had posted in the past, I would never had known that it had that high of a mileage. That's awesome! I need to seafoam my car next. It's at 56K now.

ACCURATEin

Congrats to successful troublefree miles Jon!

And welcome to the 100000 mile club.

ac-n-up

Hoangn23

I thought i was crazy putting 15k miles on my new TL Type S just in 4months. Now I don't have to feel bad. Congrat on 100k marked!!!

mmade22

Well, I posted this thread exactly a week ago as the car turned 100k. It has been one hell of a week. Just got back from MD today and I am still getting sick miles per gallon.

Mostly all highway driving doing 75 mph on the highway and I am pulling great numbers!!!!



While driving at night. I love the interior lighting at night. Notice the 9500I by the rearview and the Stilletto in the left corner. It all blends in nice.





What milage is on the car a week later. I have been living in the car the last three days.

I actually got a similar picture of my MID where it shows that I'm getting 34 mpg (35 for a moment), over almost 8 hours of driving...

YeuEmMaiMai

when I drove a 06 and 2 08's as loaners I managed to get 25 mixed and 32highway the cars had 14K, 6K and 2K respectively when I drove them........the best I have seen in my CLS is 24 mixed and 34 highway

TLTrance

Nice photochop... Haha.. Will we ever see this for real?!

^^^I guess everything will fall apart before you hit that number...lol

...what'd you use to take those pictures? lol
i miss my car she's at home in the garage -_-

mmade22

Canon FTW!!! Takes pretty good night shots when set right. Not bad for driving 75 mph and taking photos along the way holding my hand up in the corner.

^^ You used Canon PowerShot SD850 IS. It is one of the best digital camera on the market.

32 mpg? Wow, that's hella good! Should have hit me up as you drove by Richmond, photo op!

Crysophylos

Man, I got a ways to go. Had my TLS for 14 months and I've got about 6,200 on her...

Rocketsfan

I'll hit 110,000 miles tomorrow or Saturday and I'm still running strong. I have an NBP '04 TL that I bought in October 2003. I and a couple of co-workers were going to lunch and one of them looks at me and asks "you got a new car?" I said... "huh? no. I've had it for 5 years!"... he responds with "damn, that thing still looks new". lol.

No major (or any unscheduled repairs) yet. I've changed the timing belt and it's almost time to change the brakes (the biggest weakness about the car - they've been squealing since they were put on , basically, and Goodson Acura and Honda refused to do anything about it other than "we resurfaced your rotors!" ... about 5 times). It's also almost time for some new tires.

On trips to Houston from Dallas, I average about 31-33 mpg (if you believe the MID, that is, which I'm not sure I completely do). I'm going to keep driving black beauty for a while unless she starts giving me a lot of problems.

wow congrats on having the car running strong!

I bought my 05 TL brand new in Oct 05. Just in January of this year I ONLY had 16k miles on it and I currently have 31k and I thought I had done some driving this year...lol. Damn now that I think about it I can't believe I doubled my baby's mileage in less than a year. I put more miles on it in 11 months than I did in 2 years...

dudechewy

lol congrats

The car now has 104,000 miles on it. Drove 3400 miles the past two work weeks. I am off to GA on Monday and then to TN on Tuesday. Wed, who knows were I will be. Ordering the timing belt, belt tensioner, valve cover gaskets, crankcase seal, drive belt, and water pump from an Acura vendor online. Another member on here hooked me up with a Certified Honda tech that is allowed to do side work on Saturdays at the dealer. Talk about a lucky break!!
I am going to start a thread in about a month to show the cost of repairs on a car with this many miles by doing most of the repairs myself.

Just got tires installed today and a 4 wheel alignment. I should be good for another 35k on tires.

Waveform

I bought mine in June '06 and just turned 20K. I hope that I have as much good luck as you and will see 100,000+ miles on my TL.

Congrats and keep up with the maintenance.

mmade22

I wasn't aware you were in Richmond. Next time I head up that way, I will take you up on that. The mid says 32 which is close to what I actually get. I am doing the math each tank and it is about 30-31mpg each and every time!
