'08 TL - "A new steward"
TL;DR: I recently acquired a lightly modded '08 TL from it's original owner, and am now the new steward of a wonderfully kept example of a long-time "want" car.
I'm not a stranger to Hondas, and have always had a wicked soft spot for 3rd Gen TL' s. I've owned my '98 Prelude for 15 years now, and coincidentally, have known about the car I just bought for 10+ years. My previous co-worker bought it new in 2008, and has kept it as his "summer" car for ages. His son added tasteful modifications to it as he drove it for college, including A-spec suspension, Enkei 18x9.5 +45 RPF1's wearing 245/40R18 Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, an A-Spec front lip, Excelerate resonated exhaust, and an AEM cold air intake. It's an automatic with 80k miles on it, with the timing belt being taken care of at 70k. Considering all of the major maintenance has been handled, immediate plans include adding a transmission cooler & fluid change, ceramic coating it, and adding some wider tires to the RPF1's, considering the age and wear on them. I purchased the car under the guise of using it as a placeholder for another, but given it's condition and stupid clean history, I'll keep the car in the family and provide the same anal level of care I've given my other vehicles. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...6487f125ed.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...b4277db0f7.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...de33d3346a.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...8672aee310.jpg |

Welcome to Acurazine! Congrats on the new ride. The 2007 TL Type-S that I had was the best FWD vehicle that I've owned.

Welcome to the forum!
That's a nice looking TL - It sounds like you've done your research and are planning on taking good care of it. |
