First time Acura owner
First time Acura owner
Hi people.
I'm a bit of a gear-head (1972 Datsun 240z, 1983 Datsun 280zx, 2003 Nissan Maxima)
but first time Acura owner. Saw a TL-S listed that I just couldn't resist.
2002, single owner/single driver (middle-aged aero-space engineer),
Most mileage (380 km) from highway use (100 km daily commute to work)
Owner kept ALL repair records (2" thick file)
One accident (rear bumper clipped in parking lot. Complete accident report, including 8x10 glossy
pics).
Rust-proofed every 2 years.
Transmission (original) replaced last year
Timing belt/water pump replaced last year
2 sets of tires/wheels (summer's (Dunlops) bought last year, 4 months usage).
So for little more than the the cost of the Dunlops (same bolt pattern as the
Maxima and a 2001 Dodge Caravan I also have) I got a new toy to play with.
First impressions........well designed, well built, handles well, great acceleration.
I checked out this site for information on the Tl prior to buying it. Looking forward to getting to know the members.
