I have gotten quotes from 3 dealers on a non-nav TL, all in the color that I want SSM/Ebony. The lowest priced one has a VIN # in the 36XXX range. The other two are in the low 50xxx range (I think that is right). What are the most recent VINs? Also, does anyone know of anything bad about cars with the VIN in the mid 30's?

Thanks

Most recent VINs are in the upper 50's (57-58k are the highest mentioned so far). Nothing bad is wrong with VINs in the 30k range. Go for the one with the best price and post your experience!

Just picked up my 04 last week..... Vin # is 058XXX

ramilford

Yesterday I saw VINs in the 61XXXX at dealer

rets

, you're ahead of me this time... I saw 604xxx a few days ago on streets with NJ plate. Based on this thread, http://www.acura-tl.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85885, Acura claims they have sold 56,393 after June. Until today, I bet the new VIN should be exceeding 60k already.




And, it has TU2 EL42s with 2604 on them...

cpa4u

THere is about a $750 price difference between the cars. So, it sounds like the older VIN should be fine. Is it old enough to still have the old tires on it though?

rets

36xxx should have so-called new TU2 Turanza EL42s already... are you talking about this?

This VIN seems pretty updated, and no TSBs or others...

59,XXX for me

gochan

You're "safe". Enjoy your car.

Just got my VIN yesterday on my ABP/6MT/Navi and it was 608xx.

I bought my car in March with a 328xx vin. I have had no issues with the car and it has the reformulated EL42's. You should be ok with any vin in this range or higher and maybe you can get a better deal on the earlier vin besides.

I took delivery about 4 weeks ago...55XXX.

Aspector Gadget

Mine arrived at the dealer last Friday, and I don't have it in front of me, but I'm 95% that its 56XXX

SCA1

My dealer received a shipment last week. The highest VIN was 59179.

cpa4u

SCA1, what part of TN are you in? I've had NO luck at all dealing with Gary Force in Nashville or Pye in Chattanooga.

cpa4u

Aspector, who did you buy from in Alabama? I rec'd a quote from Damson Acura, but it was way too high compared to others I got.

Aspector Gadget

I bought in NC, Damson would not haggle.

cpa4u

Aspector, where in NC? I'm willing to fly someplace and drive it back for a really good deal.

Aspector Gadget

Flow motors in Winston. Call a bunch of places and get a bunch of quotes, then pick two or three dealers and get them to bid against each other, worked for me.

BTW if you have any other questions Private message me,

SCA1

Knoxville (Harper). I haven't talked #'s with them, but I have found some good deals in the Atlanta market. I too am willing to travel for the best deal.

I just purchased a new TL today and I'm picking it up on Friday. The VIN is 66xxx. So, well over 66,000 TL's made so far.

I'll post again when I actually have the little baby to drive!

rets

Please confirm this ASAP for all of us...

BTW, Congratulations.

Welcome to the forum.

Will be picking up my TL 6mt on Friday. Vin#059xxx

Road Rage

Mine is 51XXX - those were the best ones - I cannot reveal my sources or I will die in 7 days, like in The Ring. Spooky.

Congrats! You are lucky! Several of us ordered the same car and it will not be built until a month from now. Congrats and enjoy

Aspector Gadget

Well it was the 5%, mine is 59XXX.

rets

What you meant? Before 51xxx or after them, cars ain't good... or 51xxx use the best materials to build... :'(

Since you post this, I have to ask...





Aspector Gadget, that looks right...

markjrenna

My Bad... I had to call the dealer back to get the actual VIN so I can insure the car. The real VIN is 059xxx.

Sorry. Well almost 60,000 cars... not to bad either!!!

cpa4u

Well, after months of looking, I finally bought a TL yesterday!! My VIN is 605XX. Silver with ebony, non-nav. Car is great so far. It came of the truck about an hour before I bought it.

Err, people start talkin' 'bout their VIN numbers and they get all razzled (ummpt!).

I believe Road Rage was kidding...

Aspector Gadget

I'm sure XP was kidiing too. Besides the 59000's are the best, cause they're new. :P

Xpditor

Of course. Thus, the smilie.

Update, I know someone that just picked up their ordered 04 TL yesterday. The VIN is 61,1XX
