Had my 05 TL Anthracite Metallic/Camel int. AT w/ NAV for about a week. It has 74k miles on it. Just recently had tints done with moleskin, 35% on fronts and 15% on rears. Loving it so far and hoping to mod it in the near future. Been reading for a while now and joined recently, this community is GREAT!! Hope to meet you fellow AZ members in the near future!!

Also, should I worry about the timing belt change or the 105k change since it's been 7 years?

Hellooooo welcome

Oh you will love it much more!!!
Looks clean..nice
How is interior?

Lots of thoughts here about that 7 years on TB, but to me no, just keep it. What's going to happen to the belt if the car is just stayed at home and only has 74K. Also if it was garaged.
But don't trust me... didn't read a lot about it yet...
Just from my head.

The interior's clean, I'll post some pics when I get a chance. I think I might just wait on the TB.

Congrats Welcome to AZ! Check out the 3G garage for tons of info. Also register your TL at www.myacura.com in the USA or https://www.myacura.acura.ca/ in Canada. Save your Navi and Radio codes there. Check for any recalls your TL may need.

welcome to the site, you can register your color here https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/tl-owners-please-chime-855960/ thnx.


About the TB if you have money laying around then I would get it done other than that just try to drive it until 105k miles I mean you living in Socal after all where you don't have temp go down as -40F during winter and spiking up 102F during summer months.

Thanks for the welcoming messages and the help, appreciate it. I reside in El Monte, hopefully close to some of you fellow members.

Here's some interior pics:

Yes, those are seat covers, came with the car and a trunk tray. They are the same color as the interior I think.

The windshield shades are bought from walmart, some sort of fish.
