Hello Kids.

I picked up a CPO 2008 TL about 2 weeks ago to replace my 2004 Infiniti I35. The I was a great car but it had 188K when I traded it in for the TL.











So far I am very happy. The gas mileage is great. With the amount I drive I will be saving about $150 - $180 a month in gas and oil. The Infiniti had a bit of a consumption issue.

 

Very nice, welcome to the TL team

 

Welcome aboard!

Actually, I should say welcome back heheh

Nice ride =)

 

Nice Ride. What's with the parking job? lol. JK.

 

Welcome Ravi-nice pickup and always a good color.




.

 

Very nice. Get tint and then what ever else you chose.

 

I never left. Just spent more time in Ramblings. I got tired of s asking if they can fit 20's with a +15 offset and 255/30/20's on a CL.

Thanks. Love the color. It really stands out.

Tint.....maybe. Whatever else.....unlikely.

Thanks

 

Not too sure if I will mod. It is unlikely. I probably drive about 35K-40K miles a year. I modded my CLs a lot but I think those days are gone.

 

I see the mod bug upon your back already RaviNJCLs.

 

Nah.

 

Thats what you said at the idea of selling/trading your I35 as well and look what happened.

 

Congrats Ravi. Love the color.

 

I drive a lot as well. Modding the outside, not real likely; but I will be upgrading the sound system. Anyway, welcome and like that color choice.

 

Conrats.


When are you rolling the fenders and putting on 22s?

 

Congrats once again!

 

very nice ... the tl looks great!

 

Congrats. Exactly the same as mine. Does yours have navigation?

 

No. I really wanted one with navi but the price on those was a lot more.

 

i wished i had navi on mine too

 

The price difference is only $500 on a used TL. Hmm

 

Good choice on the CPO. I'm surprised you say the NAV is a lot higher priced. It's only about $500-600 higher here in SoCal. I got one exactly like yours but with NAV. I, too, stated I will not mod my TL. Two months in: I got it tinted, LED for all interior lights, Type-s rear side markers, a-spec underbody kit ordered, custom tail lights, and a-spec wheels to come. The mod bug will nibble at you... Welcome to the family.

 

^^^^

I got a nice deal on it. Very nice.

As for the mods. I went from a fairly heavily modded CLs to the Infiniti I35 without modding the Infiniti at all. That's a big chance. My priorities have changed from when I was 25. I just can't justify spending cash on a mod when I have bills at home.

 

It sounds like you have your priorities straight, good for you. Just take off that dealer plate and you're good to go

 

So far I have added about 3000 miles to the car.

Only issue I am having is there is a bent wheel and so there is also a slight vibration and noise. It was bought that way so they missed it on the Certification. My service tech told me to try to get the dealership to cover it. I am working on that.

I also changed the plugs and filters this weekend. I always do when I buy a used car. Just habit. The rear plugs suck to change, but it was doable. Just for the hell of it....I also added a coat of wax.

Other than that....love the gas mileage I get with the car. 27-31 depending on type of driving.

 

welcome and congrats I wasnt gonna mod 08 wdp type s in less than a months time so far I dropped it, blacked out roof, tinted windows, installed an amp, cap,and woofer,aem intake.and future mods will be roof spoiler painting engine covers and maybe just maybe some rims lol(but right now im happy with my type s stockies)

 

Glad you're liking the TL-I hope the dealership covers the wheel for you. By the way, nice upgrade from the Lexus!!!!





.

 

Congrats Ravi. I love the color.

Did you clay the car before the coat of wax?

 

Glad to hear the car is treating you well

I hope the dealership covers the bent wheel

 

Nope. The only times I have clayed was because there was a lot of issues with the paint. This one was very clean. I will probably clay before winter.

 

Thanks. I hope they do as well.

BTW....I had an Infiniti I35 before. It is a hell of an upgrade although the I35 was a great car.

 

If the dealer doesn't cover the wheel, it's time to step up to them big boy dubs. Do you think you can fit 20's with a +15 offset and 255s?

I kid. Glad you're enjoying the new car. How's the turning circle? I heard the I35 had the turning circle of Texas, but the TL also has a pretty big turning circle.

 

The dealership already said NO. I am seeing if Acura can change their mind.

 

No 20's.

The turning radius is one of the things I noticed early. It is a lot better. That said, I hardly ever had to do a full lock on the I35. I live in the sticks.

 

congrats Ravi

 

Well....you just got bit by the mod-bug. It happens. I went through that with my CLs. The only thing I was thinking about doing it tint and that may be because I just came back from lunch and it is 92 degrees out there.

 

Thanks.
