New 2012 TL Tech owner

Hello all, thought I should say hi to all of the other TL owners out there. I just purchased a 2012 TL Tech in Mayan Bronze Metallic. I wasn't sure about the color but it has surely grown on me! The worst part of being a new owner is that I travel four or five days a week for work and hardly get to drive it! Looking forward to keeping an eye on the forums and meeting some new people.

Congrats +1. I too am a new owner of a Tech TL. We were looking for a 12, but found this perfect 11, with only 21k. The car was absolutely perfect, and the price was fantastic. We just couldn't pass it up. I don't know about you, but we are blown away on how nice these cars are, and all the options on the Tech model (still learning how to do everything). We drove 2hrs (one-way) for a wedding this weekend, and WOW what a pleasure it was to drive. We're looking forward to a very long relationship with this car.

Ovaltine...Congrats on your 2012 TL and welcome to the Acurazine. Its a great place to spend some quality time chatting with guys and gals that are very passionate about their vehicles and can give you some tips or advices from time to time.

Is your TL SH-AWD or FWD?

Thanks for the quick reply....When you get a chance, you should try and upload photos. You will need an account with a photo hosting web site as photobucket. If you don't want to create an account, send me a PM and I can upload your pics for you.

Hey,

I just got my 2010 SH-AWD in Manual Transmission - I am in LOVE!
Few questions since I'm still in the learning phase:

1) Are there any features that one may not expect from owning the car for just a few days? eg. opening all the windows/sunroof using the key fob, or adjusting wallpaper

2) maybe too early for this, but anyone know what the limiter is set to for Canadians? haha

My apologies, it seems as though I posted this reply in a thread relating to a 2010. Please feel free to delete.

We looked for 2-months before finding ours. When the dust settled it was just a little over $25k, with 21k on the clock, and not a door ding, or scratch on it. 1-owner of course. There are no signs of wear on the interior. It looks brand new,both inside and out. I'm sure some will chime in with a better deal. The main thing is that we felt like it was a good deal, and that's all that matters.

Thanks Papa Roe ... Good thing i asked the community, because i was about to buy an 09 with 49k miles like new in and out for $20.5k .. Dodged a bullet there, right ...

I'm tempted to trade in my car and truck for 2014 especially since they are going for $37-39 .. Only reason i dont like 2012-14 is beacause i dont like the body kit available...
