New Acura Owner... Great Deal w/ questions and concerns

Hello everyone I am excited to tell you that I recently purchased a 2010 TL with the Tech Package, SH-AWD, Black exterior and umber interior.(Pics comings soon) The car has 76K on it and I bought it for 17,800 before taxes and tags. I believe I got a wonderful deal on it but tell me what you guys think? Next what should I be worried about in terms of maintenance around this mileage?? Finally should I be prepared to change anything soon as I purchase the car even though its from a dealership?

P.S. To excited to get it to a highway, winding road, and track (qt mile, circuit)

Nice set up. I just baught a white/umber TL myself.

76,000 Kilometers is fine for a 2010 usually its 20-25,000k per year on cars as a average.

The thing that shocks me is the low price.

There are some problems that are common to the TL but I wouldn't worry about it unless you notice something out of the usual. Just follow the maintenance schedule and make sure you have nice rubber on there.

Yeah have you taken it to a mechanic you know to take a look at it? and checked all the fluids / under the frame and panels on the car?

Just wanting to hear the car is ok because I think you got it for a steal if so... mine was 24,000 with 50k on it

As mentioned have it looked over by a trusted mechanic. And unless your positive that the fluids have been changed it might be a good idea to change them.

Good luck with your TL and welcome to AZ.

Unless the mechanic is free, I would straight change the fluids anyways. You own the car now... make it yours!

Change your rear diff and ATF fluid. (I assume you have AT since you did not mention 6MT anywhere)

The car has 0 accidents and a clean title with 1 owner. Sounds to good to be true I agree.

I haven't had a mechanic look it over but I will do so this weekend, just to be safe, maybe even I diagnostic test.

Well the dealer said they changed the oil, but I would probably do it just to be safe. But how difficult is it to change the rear diff and ATF fluid?

Thanks for the Insight, I have looked over the car but mainly the inside and motor. I will be taking a detailed look at the paint job for any signs of pitting or any other paint defects.
