New owner of a '04 TL checking in

Hey guys,
Just picked up a 2004 redondo red TL from the used car section of a local Acura dealer. Manual trans, black interior, navigation, 140k.
While at their dealership they replaced all tires and did a rear brake job. They also put a new clutch in it as very shortly after they traded for it someone smoked the original.
It's been a 1 owner car with all services done at this local dealership. It has several receipts in the car as well as car fax showing all the services surprisingly.

I've had it since Tuesday and have been loving every minute of it.

Take care,
Brad

Welcome and congrats!

RRP/Ebony/Navi/6-speed is a pretty rare combo. Nice find!

Welcome Brad! Sounds like you did your homework and got a good one! Of course, I may be biased (as I have an '04 6MT as well).

Thanks guys,
And yes it's had the t belt done as well as numerous other services very often. This guy must have liked the waiting room coffee at that dealership. lol
I didn't see spark plugs specifically, I'll go through them again and if that fails I'll pull them and check what they look like.

Also, yea was told by the salesman that this entire combo together was a super rare breed as most were in tan. So I'm pretty happy about that. I was wanting one in a spec trim, but I can always add at least the body kit to it later.

Thanks for hosting that pic. My brother and I took a few more shots today down by a reservoir at sunset...but no interior shots yet sorry. I'll work on that.

Any suggestions for image hosting sites that works with apple IOS? And that are free

I think Photobucket has a mobile uploading service. Not 100% sure though.

Here is a quick pic of the interior. A little dusty today but overall still pretty clean.
