interesting it got new spark plug wires on the 105k miles service- which is where it got the new timing belt etc--didnt notice water punp on that list, should have been done together
I say interesting on the new plug wires since our cars do not have any!!!!

The ~features~ listed are all stock- there isnt anything to `option on` the TL

have a mechanic check any car you are interested in- thats the safest thing to do
Is the warranty bumper to bumper no charge for any repairs?

Search on here for acura canada customer service-call them
you can get a cars history from `acura owner link` online too

I would like to know as well. I plan on picking up a 100k+ 04 or 05 TL and am wondering if there are implications of picking up a vehicle with this many miles. If anything, it might be better than a vehicle in the 75k-100k mile range because water pump, timing belt may not have been changed, correct?

btw, the vehicle that OP posted is way overpriced. First; no navi, second; way too many miles for that price. An 05 Tl in good condition which is where most vehicles lie, is worth 13k with NAVI.

Not only is it Canadian, but it's also in BC, where cars are way more expensive than in other parts of Canada. Me personally I wouldn't pay almost $15k for a car with almost 200k kms but if you really want a 3G TL and can't afford one with less mileage then this isn't so bad, looks like it was maintained.
