Bought my 2006 in January with 62k. I'm at 73k now with no problems aside from a trunk latch that needed to be replaced. Looking forward to all the miles left to drive!
|
Bought my AM 05 TL with 78xxx camel leather, 6spd w/Navi. for a price that would make you S#*% a brick.
85K now and still running like a champ. Last weekend I did the B2 service (oil, oil filter, air filter, and cabin air filter). And of course wash and waxed. Going to drain the tranny fluid next week sometime and fill it up with the GM synchro FM. :thumbsup: |
106k on my 2004 and it's still running strong! When people look at my car they can't believe it has that many miles.
|
Mines is running at 117k with my 07 TL-S
&& My BF is running almost 250k on his 04 TL Both cars are riding awesome!! :-) |
^Holy shit!

07 TLS with 28xxx and yup still like new.
Leather is taking a beating and I usually ride solo so not sure about that. Honda V6 engines run like a top. Wish I had the formula 1 V8 lol |
119,000... 05 TL... Changed battery. And as of now thats about it (knock on wood) runs great.
|
Bought mine with 95k miles on my 05 TL. Now have 101.4k miles, I'm dreading the big maintenance coming up, but still running, no problems besides 1 bent wheel (will replace soon)
|
04 with 88k. Besides a couple tiny quirks I can't complain. It's been a great car so far.
|
Bought mine in 2009 with 67k mile on it. Around 113k I was driving a lot with unbalanced tires because it took 4 different shops and 8 attempts before I finally went to one with a Road Force hunter to get them balance correctly and the vibration mustve lead to the following. Replacing all engine mounts and rebuilt transmission (specifically a new torque converter) at 114k. Also change the rack and pinion because it was making a noise when I turn the steering fully to either side; even though the mechanic said it wasn't cracked or leaking I decided to change it. Now has 126k on it and the Balancer cracked. I think that should be the last thing I need to fix for a while.
Always changed the engine oil every 3-4k miles. Changed the Transmission fluid every 10 or 20k. Already did new timing belt, valve check / adjustment, spark plugs at 77k |
250k :D ok tl 3g :D should i ask how he drives? normal or aggressive ?
|
I'm coming up on 150k and you may find my maintenance cost chart interesting:

This one is a pie chart breaking out all my maintenance and repair costs by category. (I did not include any accessories, dent repairs, detailing or car wash costs.)
http://home.comcast.net/~jhumbo/phot...rcostchart.gif ... and here is a graph of the costs accumulating during those 100,000 miles. I am hoping the slope of this curve does not increase too much. There's that nice spike there at the 105k timing belt/water pump service. http://home.comcast.net/~jhumbo/phot...rcostgraph.gif Thanks for looking and cheers to the next 100,000!

Brakes were 2 sets of pads and 1 set of rotors. It's an '04 like yours. I purchased in '06. I know the feeling though, I always felt good reading about mmade21 with way more miles than me on his '05. If you haven't come across his threads, he has sold his '05 a few months ago, but he had racked up over 200k on it. I don't have records of fuel, but I do keep track of it frequently and I probably average roughly 26-27mpg. I frequently do long road trips for work and usually get 30-31 on the highway stretches. I average 23-24 if I'm driving around town a lot with little highway. Also, I should point out that during the time I've had my car it has been very little trouble. Nearly all of it has been scheduled maintenance with the following exceptions:
Another thing to point out is that aside from changing air filters and light bulbs, I have not done any of the work myself. I always took it to the dealer or some other shop so labor charges are built in to the figures above. |
^^ thats a very nice graph you have got there. Really proves the cars longevity and reliability.
Cant believe you only spend 145 on alignments....with my vibration issues I am prolly around 400 now....and just found out about lifetime alignment from Firestone....so another 160 and I should be good at a total of 560 on alignments...fml |
great chart...but my expenses are very different....i spend $0 on transmission/battery/others....my main expense way oil changes (until now it was mobil1 oil + filter + seafoam....now its redline + fram) and brakes have been $500 in 90K miles and alignment 80ish (got a deal from a chic who works there :D) and dont even get me started on tires....
lucnex....lifetime alignment at firestone....$150ish and you can get ur car aligned as often as everyday :D i have the same since I hit 125K miles....am at 150K and have gotten my car aligned a dozen times.... |
04 5MT with a Buck67k still running strong!(Definitely knocking on wood,lol!) 2'nd timing belt service done @ 140k Just did HFPCs and Jpipe and Full Brakes. Trans fluid change next week.
|
any reason why you did another timing belt at 140K ?
|
i'm at 138,xxx and i'm about to put over 2,000 miles on it in 3 week for a vacation trip. Still going strong and hope it continues. Love the TL

People are so obsessed with oil changes using high quality oil and changing it very often (every 3000 miles). Sure, that's great for the engine and nothing wrong with doing that, but the engine itself on these Hondas are usually the very last thing to have any issues. I've used only cheap dino oil whenever the MID tells me which for my driving ends up being every 7k-9k miles. At 150k, it is as strong as ever, doesn't burn an ounce of oil and gives me the same MPGs as it always has. For me at least, I don't see the need to spend any more money that this on oil changes. Anyway, it was very interesting to chart out how much I had spent on the car. I always thought I spent so little and then to see how much it adds up to. Tires are a big expense and I was pretty frugal with my tire choices. (Best set have been the Yokahama YK520s that I am running on now.) And brakes... I screwed up on that one. Spent way too much on rotors and pads that suck. |
^^^ thanks bro....and thanks for the reply....
its a good thing to start fresh....the first thing i would suggest anyone to do is flush out all the fluids when they get a car + spark plugs + air filters....and glad you did the timing belt.... |

If you've spent $0 on transmission, I'd be very worried. You definitely need to do some drain and fills to get some fresh transmission fluid in there. Changing out the sensors is a good idea as well.

damn, i forgot....oil changes mean transmission changes too....completely missed it....while i was on the stock Z1, i would do a drain and refill every 5K miles along with the engine oil change....recently i switched to redline fluid and did a 12qt flush....done for the next 60K miles :thumbsup:

^^^ LOL...nah i wont do that to my tranny....or it wouldnt have lasted so long LOL
|
04 6MT TL with a little over 29k miles. Purchased new with 5 miles on it. Don't get to drive it as often as I would like. :vtec:
|
^^^ WOW....i hope you do all the maintenance by time (3 months/6months/1 year) and not miles....
