2008 Acura Tl Base Sedan 4-door 3.2l on 2040-cars
Chino Hills, California, United States
I have only used Mobil 1 Synthetic oil from the 3000 mile mark. I have only ever used 91 fuel, Chevron mostly with the exception to Shell as well. I can honestly say I had to use crap gas (Arco) 8 times total, putting anywhere from $3-8 (just enough to get the car to a Chevron or Shell). The car was taken to Metro Acura for its 20k, 50k, and 100k regular maintenance. Last major service everything was done to the car, timing belt, new struts, breaks, tires, filters, adjustments, tranny service (can't remember everything off hand) I drive like an old man, once in a blue moon, I do drive hard, but its a once a year type thing. When shifting I have always waited a few seconds between shifts to allow the tranny to do its thing. I also use the parking break before putting the car in park. After my Accord's tranny went out, and I bought this car, I pampered it like my own child. There is a Viper 5901 Aftermarket alarm installed on the vehicle, also has the Remote Start feature, and the ability to lock, unlock, panic, trunk and start the car up to a mile (in sight) away with the Viper remote system. The Viper system has the ability to kill the engine from starting if theft is detected. It also has motion sensors, a 2 way pager which will page you if your alarm is going off. It also has a car computer installed. I will throw in the computer for an extra $1000. If you goto you tube, and type "car computer acura tl" the first link by Anish Patel is the car computer and all its features. Check it out. It is like a 16 minute demonstration. Watch the you tube video link above to see what it can do. If you are not interested read on... If you don't get the car computer with the car, you still have the ability to use the input, and switches to it. You can install an XBOX, a DVD PLAYER, PLAYSTATION, PSP... Great for those Vegas Trips. If you don't then you can revert to the stock Nav and I will close up all wiring in the trunk to before selling the vehicle to you. Vehicle is sold as is. Cons- Hand break was chewed up by dog, its not horrible, or anything like that, still works fine. Front seats and back look like any TL that hits 100,000 miles. The back is in way better condition There are holes in the seats, nothing seat covers couldn't fix, or an upholster. Has been in 2 accidents, one of which quarter panel and hood was replaced. No real body damage or scratches Only scratch is on front bumper passenger side where a curb was scrapped in the in-and-out drive thru. (I never hit the curve but this In and out was ridiculous) Where the handle for the driver door is (pull handles), the paint is scratched from the obvious reason. Basically where your fingernails would hit it as you open the door. Pros Computer and all its accessories (see the 12 minute video link above) Viper Alarm It has <130,000 miles on it today Stock Navigation system 3.2L V6 Pearl White, with off white interior Black dash Questions text/call me DO NOT CALL BEFORE 2PM YOU CAN TEXT BEFORE 2PM, I PREFER TEXT. SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY. I AM THE ONLY OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND HAVE THE PINK SLIP TO CAR.
Remember the computer is not included in the bid, thats additional... |

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.
2014 Acura RDX adds new standard features, starts at $34,520*
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Coming off a complete redesign for 2013, the second model year the second-generation Acura RDX has received a few tweaks to its equipment packaging and a slight increase in pricing for 2014. With all models receiving a price hike of $200, the 2014 RDX will now have a base price of $34,520 (*not including $895 for destination).
New for the 2014 RDX, Acura has included even more technology to the standard models, including a push-button starter, rear-view camera and an updated audio system that delivers Pandora Internet radio, SMS text messaging and Active Noise Control. Buyers will still be able to add all-wheel drive and the optional Technology Package. Scroll down for a press release breaking down more features of the 2014 RDX and complete model pricing.
2015 Acura TLX
Mon, 04 Aug 2014Immediately after landing at Washington's Dulles airport, an Acura representative handed me the keys to a 2014 TSX with fewer than 180 miles on its clock. The four-cylinder engine started and I pointed its signature beak towards a destination in Middleburg, VA. It was a curious move by the Japanese automaker, especially considering that I had flown no less than 2,300 miles to drive the discontinued vehicle's ostensible successor, the all-new 2015 Acura TLX.
Yet spending a solid 40 minutes with a sparkling-new version of the outgoing model that still smelled showroom fresh, allowed me an opportunity to scrutinize the dropped sedan and remind myself why it had never really blown me away - it was good at doing many things, but truly great at doing none.
Time with the TSX also started me thinking about the Acura TL, the second model that the TLX will effectively replace. I have better memories of the slightly larger sedan, especially the SH-AWD 6MT trim - it's a solid driver's car - but it, too, fell short in areas where competitors, including the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Cadillac ATS, Lexus IS and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, excelled.
