Up for auction is a 2004 Acura TL with 143,600 miles. Grey (anthracite) metallic exterior and black leather interior.
Please ask any questions BEFORE you bid.
Runs great. If properly maintained, Acuras, like all Hondas, will last for 250,000+ miles.
Car cost over $32,000 when new and is loaded with features, including sunroof, heated front seats, Bluetooth, power driver and passenger seats, XM radio and in-dash 6-disc CD changer.
Car is front wheel drive (great in rain and snow). Also has traction control, stability control and ABS brakes with brake assist. Eight airbags.
I keep the car garaged, both at home and at work. I bought the car in Oct. 2010 when it had 98,500 miles on it.
3.2 liter V-6 engine with 258 horsepower. Merging onto the interstate is easy with the 5-speed automatic transmission pulling smoothly, giving plenty of acceleration without feeling or sounding like you’re straining anything. There’s a reason that this car was competitive with the BMW 3-series.
Cruise control.
17 inch wheels with Goodyear Eagle GT tires with only 21,000 miles on them (new at 122,622 miles).
I average over 26 MPG, but I commute 20 miles each way to work every day, so your mileage may vary depending on use. I always filled the car with premium fuel (which is recommended / required).
Xenon High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights (factory installed). I wish my brand new Hyundai Genesis had these (it doesn’t).
Car has built-in Bluetooth for your phone with steering wheel mounted controls.
Black leather seats in very good condition, especially for a car with 140,000 miles.
Heated front seats work great (high and low settings).
8-way power driver seat with memory 4-way power passenger seat
Sunroof (opens or tilts) with sliding sunshade.
8-speaker stereo with subwoofer. XM radio. In-dash 6-disc CD changer. Steering wheel mounted stereo controls. All original (not aftermarket). Really sounds great. I wish the stereo in my brand new Hyundai Genesis sounded as good (it doesn’t).
Power windows with 1-touch down on the driver and front passenger windows.
Keyless entry.
Homelink (for opening your garage doors).
Dual-zone air conditioning works great and was serviced by an Acura dealer at 107,351 miles. Auto-dimming rear view mirror (a cool feature that you don’t realize that you need until you drive a car without it).

I’m a non-smoker, and I assume the previous owner was as well, as I’m very sensitive to odors and never detected anything.
Since I’ve owned the car, I’ve only taken it to a local Acura dealer for service, except for periodic oil changes at Valvoline.
Acura doesn’t have a set interval for oil changes. Instead, the car’s computer keeps track and lets you know when an oil change is needed. I’d guess it comes about every 6,000 to 7,000 miles. I never waited that long and instead got the oil changed, on average, every 4,300 miles.
I had a local Acura dealer perform their largest service interval at 113,791 miles. It included replacing the spark plugs, timing belt, tensioner, adjuster, water pump, external drive belts and changing the coolant. They also replaced two motor mounts at the same time.
Other service notes:
> Acura dealer changed the transmission fluid at 141,387 miles and also changed the oil and rotated the tires. > Acura dealer replaced the EGR valve at 116,203 miles, as well as the air conditioning belt tensioner. > Acura dealer replaced power steering pump at 98,440 miles (when they serviced it prior to putting it up for sale). > Car was originally purchased in May 2004.
All the electronics work, including power windows, sunroof, power driver and passenger seats, cruise control, 6-disc in-dash CD changer, etc. The motor on the driver’s seat does groan when you slide the seat forward or backward. Also the high and low indicator lights on the driver’s seat heater need to be replaced. But again, the driver’s seat heater itself works fine (both high and low heat settings). I just replaced the armrest / center console / tray in February as it was looking worn (see photos showing new arm rest between the front seats). Cost me $242.56.
The dent in the front bumper (see photos) was there when I purchased the vehicle. Otherwise, the car has the kind of minor chips and scratches one would expect on a car with 140,000 miles (see photos). The interior is in very good condition, particularly for the mileage (see photos).
The car is available for inspection in Loveland, Ohio (NE suburb of Cincinnati).
This vehicle is being sold "as is" and no warranty is being provided, expressed, written or implied. While I’ve done my best to describe the condition of the vehicle and have made every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects associated with this vehicle, my descriptions are not to be construed as a warranty of any type.

No personal checks.
Buyer is responsible for picking up or shipping this vehicle. If you wish to have it shipped using a service, I will gladly cooperate, though you’ll have to pay them directly and I have to receive full payment prior to shipment.
The car is NOT for sale locally – only on Ebay. And do not ask me to end the auction early – I won’t do it. The winner of the Ebay auction gets the car. Period.
If you are not sure about something, please ask! Do not assume anything not listed is included. IF YOU HAVE ZERO FEEDBACK, please email me with your name, address and telephone number BEFORE you bid, or I reserve the right to cancel the bid.

Acura Precision Cockpit Concept is much more than a digital gauge cluster
Wed, Nov 16 2016Audi Virtual Cockpit is one of the single best pieces of technology on the market, bar none. It blends beautiful graphics, easy interaction, and loads of information in a way that similar all-digital gauge clusters from brands like Jaguar, Land Rover, and Cadillac can't match. Other brands might not stand even with Audi, but Acura is certainly going to try. The company is demonstrating its efforts at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show with the new Precision Cockpit. Like Audi, JLR, and Cadillac, Acura is using a 12.3-inch display in place of a traditional set of gauges that changes color schemes and animations based on the driving mode. A prominent central display joins the digital IP and features what looks like an evolution of the company's current infotainment software. But rather than a knob and dial or physical buttons, Acura is taking a page out of Lexus' book, using a touchpad to control the center display. View 7 Photos But before we lament the touchpad too much, it's worth pointing out how Acura says its arrangement is different. Using something called "absolute positioning," the touchpad behaves more like an actual touchscreen – tap a corner on the pad and whatever's in the same corner of the display responds. In that way, it sounds like Acura is trying to marry a touchscreen with a more ergonomically comfortable interface. Color us curious. Precision Cockpit also stands apart in how Acura optimized it, designing the system with semi-autonomous driving in mind. The company went as far as to use a real-time 3D graphics engine to display what the vehicle's sensors "see" inside the instrument cluster. There's even an advanced vision mode that allegedly shows "cars, pedestrians, cyclists, and other objects – even those obscured from vision – using artificial intelligence to predict future pathways." While Acura is calling Precision Cockpit a concept, the company confirmed in its official release that the Android-based system "will power future production cars." If it comes with all the tech Acura's promoting here, Precision Cockpit stands to be a significant step forward in the digitization of car interiors.

Acura NSX roadster finally on its way this year?
Mon, Apr 9 2018Autobild put together a slideshow forecasting various convertibles due to arrive from 2018 to 2023. The long-prophesied Acura NSX roadster graced the first slide, reportedly prepped for market launch later this year at a price of 200,000 euros. That's about 13,000 euros more spendy than the hardtop, a relative bargain. Don't call your Goldman private banker yet, though — that Autobild slide is likely as close as any of us will get to said roadster this year. We've been doing the hokey pokey with the droptop NSX for at least six years now. In 2012 an eager enthusiast corps thought a European patent might have revealed the convertible supercar, only to realize it was Acura protecting Tony Stark's screen gem in The Avengers (pictured). In 2016, Autocar reported that Honda viewed the NSX as a platform for experiment and tests of developing technology that "help [ Honda] understand where the brand is going." Those brand explorations meant Honda was "contemplating convertible, lightweight, non-hybrid and all-electric versions." In 2017, Internet snoopers happened on patent images for a droptop coupe first dubbed the "Baby NSX," then potentially the ZSX after more snooping dug up a trademarked name. Even though production plans for a "Small NSX" actually did exist, dated to before 2008, the Small NSX/BabyNSX/ZSX turned out to be the Honda Sports Vision GranTurismo entry when Honda couldn't make a business case for the genuine article. Here we are staring down the same wishing well. Last year Acura sold 137 NSXs in the U.S. through the end of Q1, and so far this year only 67 coupes found buyers in that time. We know the NSX is a halo car, but halos work to best effect when they're visible. So all we know now is that the talented hybrid would do well with any variant that would get it more visibility, of the top-down kind, the Type R kind, perhaps a road-legal, non-hybrid GT3 kind, or any other.

Honda airbags are being stolen
Mon, Oct 15 2018The latest hot target for car thieves might just be the airbag mounted inside your steering wheel. And late-model Honda and Acura vehicles are a particularly hot target right now, for reasons not well understood. USA Today reports that criminals across the country are stealing airbags out of relatively new Honda models for apparent resale online or to black market repair shops. It's a trend that has caught the attention of law enforcement agencies in cities like Miami, New York City and Washington D.C. The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) estimates that around 50,000 airbags are stolen each year. In Miami-Dade County, thieves stole 875 airbags in 2017, up from just 13 in 2013, according to police records obtained by USA Today. In the Virginia suburbs outside Washington D.C., thieves recently smashed the windows of 10 Hondas at an apartment complex to steal the airbags. Second Lt. Jonathan Bryant told the local Fox affiliate that stolen Honda airbags often end up in chop shops and can command between $300 and $500 each. A quick search of eBay listings for Honda steering wheel airbags turns up results being sold for as high as $700, though most are listing for hundreds less than that. New replacement versions purchased from dealerships approach $1,000. Many dishonest repair shops install the stolen airbags as new and charge the owner or their insurer full price for the replacement, a version of insurance fraud. Last year, police in Coral Springs, Fla. published an alert on the neighborhood social networking site Nextdoor urging residents who own a Honda or Acura to park in a garage or well-lit area, "or if you have another vehicle, pull it as close to your driver's side door as possible," they wrote. "We have seen an increase in airbag thefts, primarily in Acura and Honda models," the posting added. "The suspect(s) often disarm the alarm by cutting the battery, punch the driver side door lock or smash the window. It is believed these criminals take approx. 5-10 minutes to steal the airbag." One theory for the apparent rise in airbag thefts is that a spate of airbag recalls in recent years — including the ongoing recall of nearly 50 million potentially explosive Takata airbag inflators that left suppliers scrambling to make new parts — may have boosted demand for replacements. Most of the vehicles involved are late-model Honda Civics and Accords, but it's not clear exactly why Honda is being targeted.
