i am considering purchasing a tl and am wondering if it would be worth waiting for the 2005. Have most of the rattles and such been worked out of the 04 yet or are there still problems?

 

I've had an 04 since October and I don't have any problems, nor any rattles.

 

Mine is a month old and many squeaks and rattles. If I had it to do again I would wait for 05 and see if the rash of issues are still being posted.

 

I got mine about 10 days ago and have ZERO problems with anything.
Maybe I have a newer vin...

 

Nary a rattle here..Vin 381xx

 

Five months 10,500 miles and no rattles so far. Wait if you want to, but it seem pointless if you're ready for a new car now.

 

Six weeks old...tight as a drum. I don't think there will be any changes for 2005. Maybe colors...

 

i would wait if the release was july/august. but since i think its sept/oct, you should buy now.

 

anyone know what the changes will be to the 2005?

 

Wait for the 2167 TL. It's gonna be hot!

 

I've had mine since December, and other than the seat memory (fixed) there have been no problems. A small rattle went away on its own. It's a great car, and you will probably kick yourself if you wait.

 

Will look like ours, but be able to hover and it will be in the vintage scheme of new cars. 3rd gen is a classic

 

The only rattle I had was from the passenger side vanity mirror when the visor was up against the front windshield. Pretty minor, and fixed by the dealer in under an hour, once the new visor arrived.

My thoughts: You won't see any significant difference in the rattling problems in 2005. Acura has addressed these as they have come up (the glove box comes to mind). Since there won't be any significant changes to the styling, you can expect about the same level of quality (which is quite excellent, in my opinion - best I've had of any car I've purchased).
