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. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have inspected the vehicle and to have satisfied himself or herself as to the condition and value of the vehicle and to bid based solely upon that judgment.
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. Full payment is due within 7 days of the end of the auction or I reserve the right to sell the car to the next highest bidder. Final payment must be made by cash, money order or cashier’s check. 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. I also reserve the right to cancel bids for bidders with negative overall feedback or bidders with excessive negative feedback.
Buyer is responsible for getting temporary tags, if desired. My current license plates will NOT be provided with the vehicle. I’m not a dealer and can’t provide temporary tags.

Thu, Jan 14 2021For the fourth time in the last year, an Aston Martin out-discounts all other automakers by offering the largest monetary savings off the retail price of an automobile in America. This time, though, the discount isn't on the aging (though still beautiful) Rapide sedan or range-topping DBS Superleggera, it's for the DB11 sports car. For those keeping track, the DB11 also led this discount list back in May of 2020. This time, though, the price is even lower than before. Right now, buyers of the Aston Martin DB11 are seeing discounts of $24,330. That's a 12.1% cut off the car's average retail price of $201,820 and it means buyers are paying an average transaction price of $177,490. Still expensive, but really not bad for a drop-dead gorgeous machine with as much as 630 horsepower. Next in line is a familiar face, the Acura NSX. As impressive as the Japanese hybrid supercar may be, Acura has been running big rebates on the NSX for as long as we've been running these lists. This month, the NSX buyers are seeing discounts of nearly 14% for an average transaction price of $138,648. The third biggest discount this month shows up on the most expensive vehicle on the list. The Rolls-Royce Phantom carries an average sticker price of $537,500. But buyers are getting about 4% off that for an average transaction price of $516,333. It may not be a massive discount when measured by percentage, but when the asking price is so high, even a small discount equals big bucks. Related Video:
2014 Acura MDX goes for a camouflaged cruise
Tue, 16 Oct 2012While the often misunderstood (and infrequently purchased) Acura ZDX may be going the way of the dinosaur, the company's far more conventional and successful MDX SUV is evolving. In fact, the 2014 MDX seems to be coming along rather nicely, if this latest set of spy images is any indication.
In the camouflaged prototype we see here, it is evident that Acura designers are going for a beefier look for the MDX front end. The current car's pointed and beaked nose are nowhere in evidence on this tester, though some version of Acura's prominent shield grille does seem to remain.
It's a bit difficult to tell if the shape of the glasshouse is much revised on this new car, as the camo is applied in such a fashion as to obscure the post C-pillar design. But it does seem as though, when we look hard at the full-profile shots of the MDX, that the wheel-arch bulges and side character lines of the current vehicle have been replaced with much simpler surfacing.
Honda's Acura NSX masterstroke: building the factory in Ohio
Tue, Apr 12 2016When Honda announced it was going to build its NSX supercar in Ohio instead of Japan, it caught everybody in the industry by surprise. No one expected this proud Japanese company to build its most technologically advanced sports car anywhere but in its home country. Now Honda has a supercar production facility in rural Ohio that would be the envy of any Formula One team. The people at Honda call it the PMC, but its official name is the Performance Manufacturing Center. It's a building that started out as a shipping facility for suppliers, but Honda invested $70 million to transform it into a showcase facility that will build the NSX. Honda benchmarked the assembly operations at Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, and Bentley before work began on its facility. The 200,000 square-foot building will also double as a customer reception center – Honda will open the doors for customers to come see their car being built. It's also going to offer them high-speed test drives at the gigantic Transportation Research Center just down the road. No one expected this proud Japanese company to build its most technologically advanced sports car anywhere but in its home country. Inside, the layout is wide open and well lit. There are no stripes or lines on the floor and none of the different departments are walled off. This creates a more welcoming appearance and lets you get a comprehensive view of the entire process at a glance. And with an eye towards future lessons learned, most of the equipment is of a modular design that can be easily reconfigured or moved. The body shop and paint shop are enclosed by glass walls so that anyone can see what's going on inside. And while you'll see some automation here and there, the idea was to achieve a blend between man and machine, not to try and automate everything. This is a low-volume facility with production targeted at only eight to ten cars a day. The plant runs four days a week with one ten-hour shift. Don't expect to see rows of new NSXs parked on any dealer's lot. The car will only be built to order. Honda is obsessed with ensuring the NSX is built to the most exacting quality standards. The plant people pored over the JD Power Appeal study to determine what supercar customers care about the most, then looked at which aspects of that directly tie into manufacturing. They developed their quality control strategy with three goals in mind. First, they wanted to build everything right the first time with no adjustments.
