Just got a TL!

My 2008 G37S lease just came to an end, I wanted to buy my next car and I ended up finding what I think is a good deal on a TL.

White 06, 6 speed w/navi, aspec package (rims are base though, I think) only 15k miles! What you guys think? Anything I should look for? I just found out the passenger side heated seat doesn't work, but I'm sure they'll fix that for me, I do have a warranty for a few more years.

I def. have to get used to the front wheel drive, but it drives great. Great handling, good pickup, it's 4 doors so it makes my wife happy yet still sporty enough to satisfy me, and I was actually able to drive it in the snow!

I'll put pics up later, the weather is to crappy right now to be outside with a camera.

BTW what's that button on the left of the steering wheel next to the l/r side mirror switch??

the button that says "VSA"? that is traction/stability control

the small button with the drawing is a sideview mirror heater

Wow! Nice low mileage. Congrats and welcome to AZ. Check out the 3G garage for tons of info. You may want to register her at www.myacura.com. Save your Navi and Radio codes there for safe keeping.

Thanks guys! So far I'm loving it...there are a few things about the G that I'll miss but I'm very happy overall. I still have that "new car" feel.

One problem I've been noticing is 3rd gear is hard to get into sometimes...it seems like I really gotta push it in and hold it while I release the clutch or it'll pop out or I'll grind it...I know I've read something about that...should I just change the tranny fluid, nothing else can really be done about that right? It's not a huge deal, but something I have to be conscious of when going into 3rd.
