New Anthracite owner
</lurk>
My wife and I went in to trade in our lease with 2 payments left on it, because our Acura dealer was coming after us hard to trade in early before their year-end.
We'd decided weeks ago that we'd be buying the next TL, and we crunched all the numbers and knew what to expect.
Only thing that threw me for a loop was seeing the Anthracite in person. Looked much better than in the pictures I had seen.
They had one Anthracite w/ NAV and quartz interior on the lot so I licked the door handle and told the guy to go get the key! Turned out they had just gotten it that morning in a dealer trade - it had only 8 miles on it!
We bought from Rick Case Acura in Plantation, FL, it was a very hassle-free experience although it was a long wait to get to the finance manager! We paid 34.5k or so for it.
Coming from a 2002 3.2TL, this new TL has some serious pick up especially above 5000 RPM! We really love it so far - even my wife keeps looking out the window at it!

Me too, Just traded in my 2002 TL w/Nav
Welcome.
It is my third day with my new AM, Ebony w/Nav. I am just amazed at the improvements over the 2002 TL. You will find:
1. The sound system is amazing. I went out and bought my first DVD-Audio at Towers, Rachmaninov piano Concentos #2 and 3. The quality of the music just blew me away.
2. The voice command is a lot of fun. I am learning the commands with the navigation.
3. Just ordered my bluetooth phone. Can't wait to pair it so I start using the phone in the car.
4. Still trying out the XM Satellite radio. Been listening to CDs and DVDs so not much time spent on XM.
And the acceleration and handling are both wonderful. The car is very well built.
You will have a lot of fun.
