New 05 TL owner

Just purchased a MINT 6-speed TL with NAV last week. Paid 13.5K and it comes with an extended 7-year warranty with 36,000 miles. Last owner was a female doctor who garage the car and took it to Acura for full services including replacing front brakes/rotors for $800 and installed new summer tires for almost $1,400. The car is mint except for a single crack on the dash that turned into 5 within a week. Took it to Acura for the dash and its not covered under extended warranty but the sales person did send a notice to Acura home office to see if Acura will fix it under "courtesy".
The picture is my actual car. I have already installed a V1 and a lidar jammer on it. Yea i know my car is dirty. Waiting to recieve my Zaino kit.[/IMG]

That's awesome- WHERE did you get this car for 13.5k with 36000 miles. Was it a salvage? Seems like an unreal price to me.

Congrats on your purchase. It sounds like you found a great TL. You'll like the Zaino products too.

The car is mint with a minor bumper. Owner had a pic of the accident. A dented from bumper that was like a 15mph tap. Acura fixed the bumper and I have the recipe.

The seller thought she sign a lease for the car. After 5-years, she bought a Benz and returned the TL. At the Acura dealer, she hand over the keys and the dealer said "you own it, you signed a loan, not a lease".
Yes the MD is a blond airhead.

Oh, I upgraded/ or down graded from a Honda s2000. I owned the S2000 for 3 months before someone stole my seats in my parking lot. The insurance paid me off so I bought a less attractive car so I dont get unwanted attention.

At least she didn't think she signed a loan and then turned around and signed a lease. That would be a stickier situation. Either way, a 5 year lease is probably not a good deal.

Awesome. This is such a great scenario for you. I think we are just going to see more of this as time goes by. Your post actually prompted a Pitboard posting!
