Acura Tl 2004 With Leather, Sunroof, Heated Seats, Bluetooth on 2040-cars
Loveland, Ohio, United States
|
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.

I’ve sold four cars on Ebay previously with no issues and have always had satisfied buyers.
Winning bidder must make a $250 deposit via PayPal within 24 hours of the end of the auction or I reserve the right to sell the car to the next highest bidder.

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.

Honda trademarks 'CDX' nameplate
Wed, Feb 18 2015Less than two weeks ago, we discussed the possibility of an Acura-badged version of the sure-to-be popular Honda HR-V. Now, Acura has gone ahead and registered a new trademark that fits in perfectly with its two other crossovers, the RDX and MDX. Our friends at Auto Guide report the company has reserved the name "CDX" with the US Patent and Trademark Office, with the trademark covering "automobiles and their structural parts." While it's true that these kinds of trademarks are filed regularly, the timing in this case is indicative of something more than simply covering bases. After all, it seems very, very unlikely that we'd have comments from Acura on a premium version of the HR-V on February 5 and a trademark filing for a name that fits the brand's CUV nomenclature less than two weeks later, only for it to not go ahead and build an actual vehicle. Adding to that logic is the simple fact that the compact CUV market, both on the premium and mainstream level, is arguably the hottest in the auto industry right now, and it seems like a virtual guarantee that we'll see an HR-V wearing the Acura CDX name in the not-so-distant future. Should that come to pass, look for the CDX to challenge the near-premium Buick Encore, as well as a potential compact CUV from Infiniti.

Takata airbag victim urges consumers to head to the dealership
Wed, Aug 3 2016A man who lost an eye in a low speed collision due to faulty Takata airbags is urging the owners of cars with recalled parts to take their vehicles into a dealership, before it's too late. The public service announcement comes from ConsumerWatch.com. In a video, the consumer rights website gives factual information about the recall, and adds a personal plea from Corey Burdick. The Florida man lost an eye due to shrapnel from an exploding Takata airbag. The Orlando Sentinel reported that Burdick was traveling just 15 mph in his Honda Civic when he collided with another car. There were no other injuries caused by the crash, except for the loss of Burdick's eye. He filed a lawsuit against Honda and Takata this year. "I lost my eye because of a defective airbag. Take your car in today so this doesn't happen to you," Burdick said. ConsumerWatch.com told Honda and Acura owners not to drive their vehicles until the faulty airbags were replaced. Good advice, as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also recently advised owners of 2001-03 Hondas and Acuras to get their airbags replaced immediately. NHTSA says airbag inflators in those vehicles have up to a 50 percent chance of exploding in an accident. But replacing the airbags isn't as easy as simply going into the dealership. Many owners who take their cars in for replacement are finding out that new parts are in short supply as manufacturers grapple with the largest automotive recall in US history. Takata may not have enough replacements until 2019, CNN reported earlier this year. The problem is so pervasive that some brand new cars were found to be sitting on dealer lots with faulty airbags still in place months after the initial recall. Some cars have received replacements that were also faulty and now will require a second trip to the dealer. However, waiting is not an option for many owners. At least 13 people have been killed and over 100 injuries have been blamed on the airbags.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.
