Newbie here and I got a few questions...

I'm new here but have been reading for the last couple of weeks. I plan on getting a White 04-05 TL w/nav with less than 50K on the odo. I know "everybody" has white but that is the one that always catches my eye. I currently have a 95 Maxima. Could get my wife's '03 Max (she wants the new body style) but I gotta get a TL.

I want to keep the price around 20-22K or so. Is this doable? From the cars on line, I have seen a few. Will the 08 coming out effect the prices any?

I have a few questions. I have searched and checked the FAQ, but anyway....can you all help with the acronyms? I have seen a few but couldn't figure out what they stood for...

ASM
SSM
WDP
RBP
NBP
KBP
OPP....J/K HAHA!!

Hopefully I will be around here for a while. I have always wanted a TL!
Thanks!

id say its doable im getting my NBP-nighthawk black pearl in about 2 weeks...keep looking, autotrader.com, and cars.com...dont settle until you find what you want, as long as you dont need NAV and u want AUTO you should have no prob finding one for 22k, 20k...might be harder. thats the range i wanted until i found the deal i got

Used cars are available in various prices and condition, you should be able to find one. Check it over very well.

Those are the various color codes, try this:

I believe they change the codes between model years, and the search should reveal the specifics


Well, I found this for the 2006 Paint Codes:

2005 Paint Codes
/tsb/3gTL/b05-003.pdf

2004 Paint Codes
http://photos.imageevent.com/astrob...tsb/B03-024.pdf

The 2004, 2005, and 2006 all have the NH643M instead of the NH643MX as the color code for Anthracite Metallic. I'm starting to really wonder why I can't find any info on the "x"

I do want auto and no nav isn't a big deal but I really would like to have it. From what I have seen, it raises the price around $1000 or so.

I def won't get a car unless it is the exact one I want.

Welcome to the forum!

All the above are abbreviations for the car color names- ASM and SSM are silver, WDP = white, RBP = red, NBP = black, KBP = blue. The exact color names can be found in the TL brochures or Acura website.

Ohh, ok. It's paint colors. I guess I am looking for a WDP.
