Hello everyone. Just want to introduce myself, and my car. Just bought a 2006 Anthracite/Quartz, Base, Non-navi and I couldn't be happier. Big step up from the 2012 Focus lol. Got what I feel was a good deal, 14,000 for a like new vehicle with only 48,000 miles. Probably keep it stock for now, I have a 4 yr/48,000 mile extended warranty on everything including electronics so no mods just yet. I wanted a comfortable vehicle to haul around the 3 kiddos but I like to drive so this seemed perfect. I'll have some pics as soon as I can. Oh, any suggestions on what to look for would also be appreciated. Thanks!

 

Welcome to AcuraZine and congrats.

 

Welcome and congrats! What made you get rid of a 2012 Focus for a TL that's 6 years older?

Look around the 3G Garage for helpful threads that discuss maintenance, modifications, and DIYs

 

Treat your TL with kid gloves, especially the tranny if it is an AT.

 

Big step up, for sure.....welcome!

 

The blue oval probably had something to do with it. Lol. Welcome to Acurazine OP, there's tons of info on here for when the mod bug bites

 

Welcome

 

Welcome

 

Welcome and congrats, hope your 3G provides lots of fun and troublefree miles.

 

Welcome. Let's see that new TL!

 

Hey! whoa there, buddy.... I have a ford-- a 1996 F-150 with overload springs, full bed and extended cab. don't be making fun of fords-- mines big and ugly and it's a gas hog-- but at least it is slow. LOL.

and to the OP-- welcome and enjoy the car. A little preventative maintenance will get you hundreds of thousands of miles of trouble free motoring. Pics?

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome bud

 

Welcome to AcuraZine and congrats.

 

Congrats and welcome to AZ!!

 

Welcome!!!

 

I'll get the picks up as soon as I can get the thing clean and presentable. I'm in the Chicago area and its been a rough winter lol. -5 degrees isn't very condusive to washing the thing. As for the Ford thing, I loved it. I'm a Ford guy, and never had major problems with one. The main reason for the switch was I needed more room for the kids, and in the process of trading got a much nicer car with only 10,000 more miles than my 2012. I don't drive this vehicle every day as I have a company car so the super low miles should stay that way. I hope to do some tasteful upgrades in the future, but for now all I've done is the isimple connect (which works quite well) to replace a failed HFL. Thanks for the warm welcome guys!
