Racer
2004, third owner, w/143k.
Doing the following maintenance to the car once it warms up
-oem front shocks
-oem front motor mount
-3rd and 4th gear pressure switches
-3x3 ATF
-oil change
The timing belt and water pump have already been done which I'm grateful for.
Then she'll be running like new again.

I have about 220k on a 05 5at. I bought it with 50k on it. Main issues with the car, side mirror motors, HFL (I have co-worker who went in with a seperate issue said his HFL was replaced due to a recall), navi went out. Otherwise care seems to be running great.

2004 AT
bought it two years ago with 157k km, now 190km, generally no problem
navi failed me, every now and then DRL light comes on after applying the handbrake, one O2 sensor failed, changed a battery(errrr it's freaking cold here in Canada), changed 3 out 6 spark plugs(after changing out the front 3 plugs and one from the back, I realized plugs were "new" and still good for another 3,4years)
did 3X3 one time 30k kmago, haven't replaced the pressure sensors yet.
I would rate 9/10 for TL's realiablity

A 2004 TL with 158K and it almost runs like it did in 2004. I adjusted the valves and changed the spark plugs in August 2012 and that seemed to turn the clock back to 2004.

82,950 on my 2004 TL. BONUS: the last owner never drove it in the winter so my underbody is cleannnnnnn. I bought it in Connecticut but I'll be moving back to the Southern California Area before next winter so I should be able to keep this "no winter" streak alive.

07 AT TL, second tranny, blew 4th gear in the original. Slight lifter tick, car has been beat on for 175k miles and still takes it like a champ. Regular ATF changes every 30k and oil every 5k.

2008 WDP Base TL
Adopted my base WDP 6 year old 2 weeks ago at 126k and the only thing wrong with the drive is the atf should be changed. I need a little help and some reassurance about getting Redline and which one to get

Just hit 80k in my '08 TLS 6 speed. No problems at all minus the cruise control not working. The car has been sitting for the past 9 days and won't be driven again until a week from Thursday. I've been driving the Honda Pilot around since I've been doing a lot of highway miles. Kind of nice to have an automatic to fall back on when traveling.

04 TL with the 6-spd and Navi. 170k on the clock right now, bought it a year and half ago with about 140k on it for 7-grand. I've had to replace a few things though. Starter, motor mounts, master cylinder, slave cylinder, and the clutch. Even with these repairs, I don't regret buying it, and plan on keeping it till about 200k.

About to hit 130k.
Other than the clearcoat peeling off 3 of the wheels, the badly cracked dash, the right seat warmer light not working, the broken cup holder sliding cover, the really oxidized left headlight, the big scuff on the bottom of my front lip, the scratch on the rear bumper, and the a/c not blowing as cold as it used to, it is still going strong!

04 tl 5at just hit 100k --She is strong and runs great; like the day she drove off the lot...
-oil jet installed on tranny under TSB
-Side motor mount broke (so i replaced them all about a week ago)
-about to do the 105k service (including thermostat and water-pump)
-About to change the tranny fluid w/ Redline racing (this will be the 2nd fluid change in the tranny as the first was done around 60k when the oil jet was installed)
-About to install Raxles to hopefully stop the low rpm shutter that happens around 1800-2000 rpm around 30 mph...
Couple things:
-clear coat may be bubbling (i dont think the paint quality is the best and i wash with professional supplies that never touch the ground and high grade car shampoo).
-She has been a road warrior and been on road trips thru mountain roads so the paint on the front is good and nic'd up from the rocks...)
