Traded up...'13 TL Auto Tech/Advance

Recently traded in my 2006 TL 6 speed, was hesitant as I have been driving manual for 15 years but no regrets so far. The 19" wheels and CBP paint is what sold me. Feel I got a good deal, paid $37K+ tax, car was flawless, had 16K miles on it. I dipped the grill in matte black along with the sliver piece on the truck.

Some pics attached. Will take better ones soon.

Cheers.





Yes, hood is cracked open. Just finished oil change, switched to Mobile One Extended Performance.

Welcome and congrats on the new TL!

I recommend getting the grill and rear trunk trim color match when you can. Looks a lot cleaner in person, and in photos.

Welcome to Azine and congrats on your new car.


Dipping is a nice way to get an idea of how something will look and the results are easily reversible, painting will look much cleaner, your choice though.

Nice car. I hate to say this but I was looking at similar cars. Initially wanted '12 Tech or Advance but they wanted $30-32K for them with 35,000 miles. Just got a '14 Advance with 0 miles on it for $39,028 plus tax. They are heavily discounting new 2014's to make way for the TLX. I think you could've gotten it for at least a few grand less. The wheels on the Advance sold it for me. The Tech wheels were ugly.

Yea you're probably right, they didn't budge much . I thinks it's because the car was just traded in a few days earlier so they wouldn't mind sitting on it if they had too. I could of waited but I don't have patience for that. Thanks for the input. Cheers.

If you're happy with your purchase, that's all that matters.

I had a 4004 6-speed manual and I traded it for a new 2013 manual and I loved it from the first time I drove it. Acura addressed everything I hated about the 3G and the sh-awd makes the curves FUN.

Only gripe, this thing is a the thirstiest honda I have ever ever owned in my entire life and I am a Honda loyalist.
