Go90go, last month I rear-ended an SUV that decided to come to a full stop on a four-lane highway. Everyone is AOK save the Acura, which needs $5k of work. So I pass the odometer torch to you, mate.
Now I drive an Isuzu! I wanted something Japanese I could move house with. My streak of great cars at great deals continues, but it is a mixed blessing.

Problems: Missing 1 tranny mount...
everything else is solid just need to give it a nice polish and wax then find the rattles... but with 1,000 watt rms Audiobahns in the back (two 12's) are not helping...
MPG... i don't even track that no more... i'm sure i'm not getting near what you guys get... but i don't care, i love this car...

Mad Mileage
I am the original owner of a 98' (mostly stock) 3.2TL. I keep her clean as a whistle. She has 146,000 miles and has only (knock wood) required replacement of the thermostat for $26.

'96 2.5TL with 218k....owned since '97 as the second owner (had 16k when purchased as certified preowned). I just gave it to my oldest son who is in highschool. I went out and splurged on a nice "new" '98 2.5TL with "only" 94k !

dang these 1st gen TL's keep going and going..... hmm makes me think I should pick up a 2.5 TL as a beater possibly.
is it because the 1st gen TL's are built in Japan vs the 2nd and 3rd gens are built in Ohio?
