New car new member......

Hello guys, I’m a new member. I just bought a use 2004 TL from Metro Acura in Philly April 11. A Nice clean car to get me to and back from school and work. The more I drive it the more I like the car. Unfortunately I couldn’t get the Navi it was just way out of my price ranged. Anyway here’s some pictures from this after-noon. What you all think?

Clean Ride! Looks great. This is the original TL that I fell in love with.

I was shopping used and recertified but couldn't find one clean enough so I went with a 2008.

Looks like a sweet ride to me! Congrats.

Well, it had 49k when I drove out the dealer now it have 50k. I just drop the car for some service, because there were some miner little things they had to fix for me. So this is what I’m getting done today. New oil change cause the car is already at 30%. They toll me that they replacing the back rotor, and then I told then that the passenger seat warming button don’t light up at night, and the driver door rubber seal is cracked, and also the bluetooth talk button don’t light up either.


50K


the bluetooth talk button don’t light


the passenger seat warming button don’t light up at night

First off. Congratz.!!
as far as the minor problems. The dealer should be able to fix it. Very cheap fix.

Hey guys. As you already know from post #5 I drop my car off to get some miner little things done. So I received a call this morning at work from the Acura service center. They told me that they would be keeping my car for 2 more day, because they found a little problem. Service told me that after they fixed all the problems they did a 180 point inspection and they realized that the sun roof was making some noise. They try to fix the sun roof but they couldn't so they guess is better if they replace the entire unit. Im not complaining because its all under warranty. But I do miss my baby....

Yeah it is a MDX... I called the Acura service today after noon to see if I could change the loaner car. The car is nice + the navi its a great car to drive, but that S**t loves gas... I try to exchange it for a RL or another TL but they only had a RDX available.. So he told me that I could change it for a 08 RDX but the car is turbo so it would be worst is gas.. I didn't know that RDX where turbo but now I know. You learn new things everyday...
