For sale to a good, loving home: 

My beloved, 2005 Acura TL, Louise. My loyal travel companion. (she loves road-trips!)
White Diamond Pearl, Parchment Leather interior 
150,700 miles
tires - 20,000 miles since new in 2012. Comes with Road Hazzard coverage policy from Big O Tires
Battery & starter replaced in June 2012 (these are the only 2 repairs EVER needed, all other items were maintenance only) 
****Timing Belt replaced as maintenance @ 100,000 mi*****

Minor, cosmetic dings and scratches on front and rear bumpers. (see pics) Other cars were constantly love-tapping her when they parked! 

A few wear and tear items where she is beginning to show her age (shown in the pictures) 
-a clip is missing from the back panel of the driver's seat
-a scuff in the leather on the passenger-side door 
-discoloration spots on the passenger-side mirror
-Leather on the driver's seat is showing signs of 150,000

What else can I say, I loved this car - all 8 years she and I have been together! I bought her as a certified, pre-owned from an Acura Dealer in Pennsylvania. I am the second owner. We drove across country together (thus her name, Louise) I am selling everything I have and traveling to Italy, or else I would keep her forever! 

I have the clean, PA title in hand & can sign her over with verified funds. 

Original MSRP - $35,470
This model includes all luxury amenities as standard. 
seating for 5, comfortably
Leather seats, steering wheel, shift control knob
dual-zone, automatic 3D solar-sensing climate control (Using time of day and direction of travel, this gadget calculates the sun's position relative to the car to adjust side-to-side interior temperatures to maintain desired settings.)

5 speed automatic with optional manual SportShift

iPod/MP3/aux integration- I paid to have this option installed aftermarket (not standard until 2006 TL models)

HANDS-FREE Bluetooth (works with all phone models, I have used it with about 20 different phones, the last 4 being iPhone models) 

Safe! (5 Star crash rating)
Airbags - driver, passenger
"seat-mounted side-impact airbags and full-cabin side curtain airbags are standard. The side-impact airbag sensors note the seat occupant's height and position to minimize potential injury to out-of-place and smaller-stature individuals. Frontal airbags are dual-stage and dual-threshold, meaning they deploy at different rates depending on the severity of the crash and whether the front seat occupants are belted in. For 2005, a weight sensor has been incorporated in the front passenger seat; if the total weight on the seat is less than 65 pounds (the weight of a small child or a car seat), the right front airbag will not deploy. On the driver's side, a new position sensor has been added, so if the seat is within half an inch of the most forward position, the airbag will only deploy in the more gentle, dual-stage mode. If the seat is farther than a half inch from the forward position, the airbag deploys in either single or dual-stage mode based on the severity of the collision. LATCH child seat anchors are included"
ABS brakes, Traction Control, Vehicle Stability Control System, Electronic Brake Assistance

HANDS-FREE driver control, voice activated radio, climate control - the vehicle will respond to 300 different verbal commands

anti-theft alarm

Powerful, yet fuel efficient - 3.2L V6 (270 hp)
20 city /29 highway MPG - (realistically, though in LA it is more like 18 city because of the traffic, but when we drove across country, it was 32 MPG!)

awesome Stereo system - multi-speaker, externally power-amplified, DVD/CD/cassette/AM/FM/XM Satellite Radio system, to which Acura added a new technology known as DVD-Audio 5.1. DVDs recorded with this technology triple the channels in traditional stereo and virtual (electronically synthesized) surround sound systems, from two to six. The hope was to do for digital recordings what Dolby did for analog tapes. 

In-dashboard Navigation System - Easy to use, large display, voice activated with clearly audible directions in response. 
Power Sun/moon roof
alloy wheels
xenon, high density discharge headlights

Very comfortable ride, spacious cockpit and passenger seating. Memory seats, remembers driver's settings based on which key fob unlocks vehicle. 

Review for 2005 Acura TL from Car & Driver -

"Acura's badge is a set of engineering calipers, symbolizing the brand's focus on precision engineering. That symbol holds more than ever with its latest models, the all-new 2005 Acura RL and the sportier and only slightly smaller Acura TL, which was completely redesigned and re-engineered as a 2004 model. (The 2005 Acura TL carries into its second model year with no major changes.)

The Acura TL is a true sports sedan, albeit with front-wheel drive. The TL delivers sharp-handling, a powerful V6 engine, a fully independent suspension, and the latest active safety electronics to optimize driving dynamics. Its engine doles out abundant power, whether for back road barnstorming or passing other vehicles on the freeway. Barnstorming is aided by great handling and powerful brakes. Freeway cruising is made pleasant by the reasonably smooth ride, though the TL is not a soft cushmobile.

Where previous TL models were subtle, tailored and conservatively handsome, this latest-generation TL is hip, bold, and razor-edged. It's a fully equipped luxury performance sedan in midsize dimensions. Every passive safety feature you'd expect in a premium car is included.

The interior is thoroughly modern and features state-of-the-art surround-sound. The TL isn't cheap, but you get what you pay for in performance and features."

    Acura's MDX SEMA concept took the wrong parts from the NSX GT3

    Thu, Oct 27 2016

    When it comes to SEMA show cars, the more absurd the better, such as with the 1,040-horsepower Bisimoto Hyundai Santa Fe. That's not the case with Acura's custom MDX. This crossover was designed to match the NSX GT3 racecar, and gets a custom trailer to tow it. However, instead of doing something awesome like dropping in the NSX's twin-turbo V6, Acura decided the defining characteristics of the race car were the paint, splitter, and wing. So that's what the MDX and trailer got. In addition to a matching white paint scheme with orange and black accents, the SUV wears a massive front splitter that looks like a shelf stuck close to the ground. It's the only aero modification on the vehicle, and it just looks silly, what with the massive gap between the base of the bumper and the splitter itself. There aren't any performance modifications on this SUV either, except the lowered suspension, so the only thing the splitter is likely to do is break off on the first mildly steep driveway it comes across. To complement the MDX's dubious aero aid, the custom trailer gets a "wing" at the back. Actually, it looks like Acura slapped some endplates on the back to give it a wing look. The trailer also gets running boards that extend the splitter along the side. Maybe it all works together to keep the trailering rig planted. But probably not. If Acura wants suggestions for next time, we suggest a mid-engined MDX, or perhaps one with a wild hybrid system. We'll call this a missed opportunity.

    Ludacris discusses Fast and Furious 7 and his 1993 Acura Legend

    Tue, 13 May 2014

    It's easy to think of most wealthy celebrities as egotistical, materialistic individuals who own a Ferrari for every day of the week. The reality, though, is often much less severe. See, they can get attached to things, like cars, just like normal folks. Take Alfred Morris, for example. A 22-year-old running back with the Washington Redskins. Morris still drives the 1991 Mazda 626 that he had in college, despite a healthy $2.2 million contract.
    Rapper/actor Ludacris is an even more extreme example of automotive loyalty. With an estimated net worth of over $70 million, Luda has the money for his own private plane. Yet that wealth doesn't stop him from regularly driving the 1993 Acura Legend he has had since before he found fame.
    Ludacris, whose real name is Chris Bridges, recently discussed his old Acura during an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneris Show to promote his new album. It sounds like he's put 10,000 miles on the trusty sedan since it last popped up online less than a year ago, so it's pretty clear that he drives it on the regular. In fact, Ludacris says he still pens new songs sitting inside it, just like he used to back in the day when he was starting out.

    LoveFab headed back to Pikes Peak with NSX-based heathen [w/video]

    Tue, 02 Apr 2013

    LoveFab had a rough run at Pikes Peak 2012. During qualifying on Day Two, owner and professional driver Cody Loveland launched his car off of the course at nearly 60 miles per hour. Never ones to be dismayed by a few bruised ribs and some busted body panels, LoveFab is headed back to the hill climb for 2013, and this year, it's bringing Garrett along as a title sponsor.
    Loveland's chariot of choice is officially dubbed "Turbo by Garrett/LoveFab Pikes Peak Enviate" and is loosely based on an Acura NSX. All of the stock Japanese components have been swapped for LoveFab-built pieces with the exception of the subframes and suspension.
    With a dry-sump LS1 V8, chromoly-tube chassis and a full carbon fiber body, the car is about as wild as they come. With around 800 pound-feet of torque on hand and a curb weight of under 2,000 pounds, the machine should give the mountain a run for its money. The team is expected to begin testing Enviate beginning May 1. You can check out a quick interview with Loveland in the video below along with the full press release.
