New TL Owner, SoCal

Hey guys! I've been a TL owner for a bout a month now. Bought the car last month with 112k miles for $7500. It's a 04 5AT. One owner. Original owner did the 105k service last year. It's been in San Diego it's whole life and taken care of by a older gentlemen in his mid 40's.

I also got my perfect dream color combo, Nighthawk Black Pearl with Black (Ebony) interior! It's not a perfect car, there's a few scratches on the paint, but interior is in great condition, the normal wear. No rips/tears.

I've always loved the 3G TL's since I was a teen. Originally drove a 1991 Acura Legend for the past 5 years until that horrendous BHG caught up with it (You can see the Legend in the background in one of the pictures). Anyways, enough with the story, on with the pictures! I know they aren't good shots, but haven't had much time to take any with a professional camera.

Sweet ride. I own an 05 silver TL for 2 months now. I told the wife that I was going to keep it stock but like acurazinesfinestTL said the mod bug will hit you soon. It's starting to hit me!

Thanks! Took me about a week to find it. The owner had originally posted it 1 hour prior to me calling him about it on craigslist. He said I'd be the first one to look at it before anyone!

Thanks! I already started modding it some what. I changed out all the interior lights/courtesy lights, trunk and license plate lights with LED's. Not a big mod guy, I still love the stock look of the car, only thing I'd probably do is the A-Spec kit and wheels. But who knows what will happen a couple months down the road right?!

Thanks. Yeah. I was lucky to get the 5 years out of it. It made it to 140k miles before it blew on me. Family friend gave me the vehicle for free with ~100k miles on it, original paint and clean title.
