Hello all. I just recently purchased a 2008 Acura TL. I have several friends that have or use to have TLs. I have never heard any complaints so I decided to finally get myself one. I like this car a lot and am looking forward to reading and researching everything I need to know about it!
It has 160k miles. Clean title, 3 owner with one small accident on the carfax. I bought it from a smaller car lot and they replaced the timing belt, water pump, tensioner, steering pump, battery, spark plugs, changed the oil, serp belt, front brakes/rotors and engine/cabin air filters. I tried to get it for $6500 but ended up buying it for $6700. It has been icy here all week (I live in Ankeny, IA, which is basically Des Moines) so I have only driven it once (aside from driving it home) since I bought it on the 19th. I am also replacing a few climate control light bulbs so it is currently sitting in the garage with the stereo and center console removed. I wanted to get one with navi but couldn't find a better deal than what I got. Well, around here anyway. Almost all of the ones I looked at were roughly the same price and either had body damage, salvage title, or needed maintenance done.
Thanks! I will try to contribute where/when I can. I am still very new to the TL game and haven't owned an Acura since my '92 Integra that I sold roughly 13 years ago.
I replaced my climate control lights (on the passenger side) and after putting stuff back together, two on the driver side are now out, lol. On the bright side though, I found a remote start module under the dash, got the model number and have a $6 fob replacement from Ebay on the way, so there's a chance I will have remote start! I had it on my truck so I planned on putting one in anyway. That could save me some money and time.
