HI eveyrone.

I was just wondering, do you think 7000 mileage on a 7 month old 06 TL is alot? I keep thinking im driving it too muhc. I know im paranoid and all but isnt it bad if you put alot of miles on car, or a new car for that matter?

Thats 1,000 a much which puts you at about 12,000 a year which isnt a lot at all. My mom has had her car about a year 23K on it my dad will have his car 2 years at the end of decemeber and by then will proably have about 48k. Im more like you and put 1,000 a month on it but trust me thats not a lot at all. My parents now there cars have a lot but my dads is for business which makes him have to drive a lot. My moms car is a company car so we take it on trips since it just goes back so the miles on that car we dont really have to pay for later on.

Its actually better for the car to be driven a bit then just to sit there. Cars are ment to be driven so dont worry at all your TL will do just fine.

No. That is probably "average" if you can quantify that into something. Some people driver well over 2k a month, others not even 1k. Don't worry about it. If you leased it and have a yearly cap - that might be something to look into.

alright...i was just wondering. Cuz to me i kept thinking i was driving it too much. I havent really taking it for long drive yet. Might do it tomrrow, going up to riverside from San diego to pick up my DEGREE! lol

A month ago I sold 2006 Accord with a little over 18k on it. My one month TL has over 2000 miles. I have been poking with an idea of relocating closer to work and even started dreaming about 3-5 mil one way commute to work instead of 20+

I have 60,000 miles on a 2004 TL ... about 20,000 miles a year ..

I've had my 2005 TL for 1 year and 7 months and my odometer is currently reading 45,345. I have a 25 mile commute to work and my girlfriend lives down in Orange County (Irvine to be specific). It also doesn't help that I do canyon runs for fun.

gomezine

i got my 07 type S on OCT21 and have 5900 miles on it right now....

Silverstonev8

I bought mine on Feb 28th and have almost 7k on it... I talked my sister into getting one two weeks after I bought mine and she has 33k... both ahe had no problems other than one flat tire on each.

mn2trance

If you enjoy your car as much as we all do here, does putting that many mileage on it really matter? If you plan on selling the car later if it's not a lease, then perhaps you would consider the mileage factor. Just enjoy the car for what it is.

Mike 06 TL

My TL is just over 6 months old and I have 15,000 miles! I'll put on between 28K to 30K miles in a year no problem. Any Honda/Acura is perfect for this type of mileage. Don't worry.

05TLRIDER

That's nothing...I bought my TL end of July 2005 and parked it with less than 4000 on it last winter. I put over 16,000 on this summer in about 7 months. Now it's parked again for winter, so I can try and keep miles off her.

Silver Bullet

I'm with you PeterUbers...57k on a TL purchased June 2004.

dansmith2004

I have 10,400 on a new TL I purchased in the end of July; that doesn't include the 2,400 miles I put on the combination of loaner Tl's that I've gotten during that time. I wish I only drove 1,000 miles a month. I need to cut back on my driving!

Dan

Fulani has a TL

I am jealous!!!!! Have had my car since Memorial Day 2006, and already have 18,678 miles.

But no need to worry on getting 1,000 miles a month

cristphoto

I bought mine in April 2006. Present Mileage is 13,500 which included a couple vacation trips this summer. When I first got the car I took weekend day trips almost every weekend for a couple months. The cars just plain fun to drive.

TheRelliCoolKid

Well I just got my 2006 TL on Monday and have 256 miles on it!!

Silver_Surfer

Got the 07 Type S on black friday. So far...about 210 miles on it.

w1n78

75K+ miles in 2 years and 9 months. no tranny problems... :ibknockonwood:

Joee627

14,000 Miles just over 3 Months. DAMN!

ExpensiveWino32

I have a late model '04 with 62k miles and no major problems....runs great!!

Bob289

Bought my 06 TL back in July and I already have little over 8k on it. It makes me cry that I drive about 2k a month. I guess driving 150mi every 2-3weeks has been taking a toll on my ride. Not to mention the 700mi round trip to San Fran and back. Other than that its the smoothist ride EVER! Ive plan on keeping this car until the wheels fall off so milage shouldnt matter but I do wanna keep the miles down a bit so when I do decide to trade in or sell I can get a good price.

simonsez

not bad... i have 7 months old 2006 TL with 12000 miles

I have 2000 miles in my month old TL-S

timstld

Took delivery in August 2004, and as of today I have 19,568. This is my daily driver, work is only a 4 mile drive.

mcmanut

I have 118,000 miles on my 2004( Bought May 2004) and still going strong. No problems at all and the car drives great.

Sabo

I've got a 2004 w/ 31000......with doing some research I found out that the average milage for an 04 is 43000.... whick is about alittle under 14400 a year so I guess you can base your car on that.

acurasofla

since I work from home now. I used to put 50,000 on one in two years and get a new one. Now I'm waiting for an '09 Fourth Generation TL. I'll probably have about 20,000 on my '04 trade-in.

SuperStar

I've had my TL for 19 months and it has 15k on it.

So id say you're putting on considerably more than I have in that time period, but you're sitting at the average mark!

sol_da_man

my 04 TL just turned 30k.

Retired 93LS coupe

Wow I guess I need to drive my TL more I have 460 miles on it and I pick it up on the 28 of Aug 06

XtraKrispy

Bought my '06 in October 2005. Have about 5,500 miles on it right now.

ASM TL'er

I purchased in July 06 and have accumulated 7500 glorious miles to date. I plan to drive her until the wheels come off

TriniBwoy

I've got 8000 miles on my 4 month old 2006 TL.

03CoupeV6

The cars are made to be driven. Whether you drive it or park it, it will depreciate. It isn't an asset. Just have fun with them - they were built for that SOLE purpose.

ACCURATEin

78,000 total miles. 33,000 supercharged miles.

willg133

somewhat unrelated, but my 97 3.2TL has over 130k

Hmm think its time to drive a little more. 06 bought Nov/05 and it now has 5200 miles.

TheBigWhite 21

17500 for an 06 TL. That's how much i have now, too little or too much? haha
