New To AcuraZine

Just got a used 2005 acura tl last week with 113k miles on it. Looking forward to putting up pics to show you guys soon. Also is there anything i should do as of right now, such as taking it to a mechanic to have him search for any problems that can be coming up? Thank you

Welcome to the Azine family!

Did you have any history of the car before you got it, do you know if the 105K service was done?

Would love to see pics when you are able to get some up

yea carfax said it had one owner and came from Missouri all the way over to jersey. Doesn't show any report of a service being done at 105k not really sure how to check if it was done. So i might just play it safe and just change the timing belt water pump and spark plugs. what you think?

It certainly wouldn't hurt to change them.

But you may be able to (or have a mechanic) inspect those parts and it should be sort of easy to tell if those current parts were changed semi recently. If you can tell they are not the original ones, then you may be good to go without changing them as they were probably done when the service was due.

If they have not been changed then they should be asap, but if they have then that would be a good deal of $ to spend that isn't really needed.

Just my

Does it seem the car was very well maintained by the previous owner?
