Just picked up my 2005 TL :)

Wow.. what a difference (and yet, what a similarity) compared to my Accord. I love the HID headlights, blue gauges, ride characteristics, everything It's RRP with black interior. 26K miles, $27K even.

I turned down the extended warranty. Bad idea?

Nice color choice, I couldn't find it when I got my '05 NBP. Slapped an Aspec bodykit on it and it will look really sharp!

Also time to update your signature.

If you intend to keep for a long time, an extended warranty is a good idea....

Well, I doubt I'll keep it longer than 5 years.

I'll probably keep it for around 3 years. It's Acura Certified and the only significant miles I put on are the occasional hour or two-hour drive, as my daily commute to work is less than 10 miles round trip.

Congrats on the new ride!!!!

You should already have a pretty decent warranty on it as it's an Acura Certified Pre-Owned car.

I like the blue LED lights that shine down on the center console from up by the sunroof controls.. among other things

I'm coming from an Accord LX 4-cyl., so most of what this car has is going to impress me. This is the first car I've owned that had alloy wheels, leather, a sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated power seats with memory, and a V6 that isn't underpowered for the car it's in.
