Bought a 2007 TL Black with 23K mi for 23K in Atlanta. So far, I love the car. Amused the dealer with the ECU reset as I'm taking delivery on the car. I appreciate all the info I've read so far. Great site.

Congrats and welcome to AZ Check out the 3G garage for tons of info. Also register your TL at www.myacura.com. Save your Navi and Radio codes there. Check for any recalls your TL may need.

Congrats, are you from the Atlanta area or just bought the car here. I might just run into you sometime. If you had the vehicle checked out by a good repair tech, and you are going to have the maintenance done regularly, I wouldn't get the extended warranty. That's just me trying to save a few bucks. But if you can afford it, than why not.

Definately a Tide fan. And yes I am from the Atlanta area, (Buford) work downtown. I didn't get the car checked out because it had a clean carfax, and only 23K miles, but I believe will cover my a$$ with extended warranty just in case.

Here are some pics...a couple were before the wash, had dealer dust on it.

I would do it if you plan on keeping the car for a long time. Better safe than sorry.

Congrats on your pick-up Crimson. I did the extended warranty. Tint that baby first-it looks hot on a NBP TL.

Congrats on the car. I just picked up an 06 a few weeks ago. How come they didn't certify the car? Looks like its from an Acura dealer.

It is certified pre-owned. I must have forgotten to mention that. Lovin it so far, tinting is a very frequent suggestion, I'll have to look into.

Black on black FTW, sexy . Congrats, enjoy the paint upkeep

I doubt you'll need the extended warranty, but always good to CYA
