Just bought a 4G TL!

Longtime lurker with my 07 MDX; took the plunge with a certified 2010 SHAWD/tech in Grigio. Gotta say I really love it, especially the acceleration using the paddle shifters. I had a 92 Legend LS coupe back in the day and have to admit I'm still impressed with Acura.

I'll post pics when it's nice & clean. The weather in Chicago has been phenomenal, but I haven't had time to wash it yet!

It's funny to see how different the pricing is across Chicagoland. You can literally see the same car with a difference of $4-$5K.

Glad to be aboard!

Nick

Bought it with 31,000 miles from libertyville Acura. Good guys to deal with over there. I looked at a bunch of dealers, but since I bought my MDX there and they treated me well, I went back.

Acura of Westmont had a bunch of 2010 certified TLs at good prices, but they their reviews on dealerrater.com made them seem like typical sales guys; hiding the keys to your trade-in, telling you they have a car in stock when they don't, etc.

With Libertyville, I knew what I wanted for my trade and what I wanted to pay for the car and we were t very far off.

I would recommend them.

I was looking at leasing a base 12, but my wife wanted the AWD not to mention, I liked the more aggressive front in the 2010. I don't mind the front in the 2012, but the 2010 grabs me in the biscuits a little more

Another newbie here -- new to the forum and new to Acura. Just bought a 12 TL-Tech (also from Libertyville, IL Acura) and wanted to say how helpful this group was to informing my decision. So thanks all. With dealer incentives and pricing knowledge from TrueCar, got a great deal. Loving my new ride...
