New Guy from San Diego

Hi guys,

I just bought a CPO 2008 TL, white exterior with ebony (?) interior.

I got a pretty good deal on this one, and it has 38k miles. I know this vehicle is pretty reliable (from reading), and I am just wondering what should I be keeping an eye on? Dashboard cracks... etc.. I am pretty OCD. lol. Grrr..makes me mad about previous bottom out scuff lol.. not too much though..

Here's a photo of my new baby... lovin' it so much!!

Congrats Welcome to AZ! Check out the 3G garage for tons of info. Also register your TL at www.myacura.com in the USA or https://www.myacura.acura.ca/ in Canada. Save your Navi and Radio codes there.

Welcome! What part of SD are you from? There's a car meet every Wed if you're closer south. And in November we're trying to plan a meet some time in November. Check out the Regions>SoCal threads.

As for things to watch out for...I have the same car and there's nothing much to worry about. However, I do have the airbag outline, but it's not a big deal anymore. One tip: Not sure if you plan to mod your TL, but if you do be careful because once you start it's hard to $top.

Congrats on your new ride. The only thing you should watch out for is your wallet! The "Bug" bites hard.

Really what yr. man? I'm studying for BS in Business Admin. and minor in Public Admin.

Oh in case you didn't know, below each post there is a quote buttom, multi quote w/ + sign, quick reply button and the 'thanks' one. But I am not sure if you need to wait 15 days before you have access to the feature of if its after 5 posts.

Its easier to do a multi quote response by pressing the posts you would like to reply to.

Awesome, and you have a sweet ride.

Oh forgot on the multi quote thing,
press the mutli-quote button for all posts you want to reply to

than on your last post you want to reply to

Press quote.

Should bring up all quoted posts so you can easily respond below each. Just in case you havnt figured it out. There are tons of info. here so be sure try to SEARCH.

Searching can be a pain, but for me I found it easier to type the major thing your looking for rather than detailed items. OR just use google and add the acurazine at the end.

Thank you sir. I definitely saw more than 3 people checking out the car before I purchased it.
