I bought a 2010 Acura TL 4 years ago with 116, 000 4 years later 263, 000 miles and still riding smooth💪🏾

[XxNewmilleniumxX]

My first car I just got is a 2014 acura tl. 69k on the dash for 13 grand. MCLOVING IT. Fast as hell to. I could of sworn I can tare anyone up on the road until i challenged a m5 LOL

[Ron-tpnu]

Brought mine 2 years ago under 100k miles, changed the plugs, all the fluids, she is a beast very slept on car

[Geovannyxv]

2008 acura tl is the best . i recommend to any one who's looking for a first car.

[melanykennedy]

OMG! Watching your video has me so excited! I'm getting a 2009 TL in a few days. I had already heard & read great things about them, but your video put the icing on the cake! I found one for 5K with 89k miles. I was skeptical at 1st because like you, I'm not crazy about the exterior design. I'm now more confident that I made a great choice

[darkknightmw]

I have this exact one in SH-AWD, still get a lot of compliments on it, at 210, 000km

[jaheimwilliams]

The Acura TL is very interesting you need to research it more it’s a definitely a sleeper with speed as well

[chihirogustafson]

I bought a 2011 tl at 107, 000 miles the car has exceeded my expectations. It handles corners so well because of the double wishbone suspension and 245/50/r17 tires.

Bought my 2009 Acura tl base model for 3800 with 215000 miles. All highway miles and bought it from the 1st owner. Literally no problems with it. Had an emissions light come on for a loose gas cap but that it. Just do a timing belt, water pump and tensioners change and your good.

[GoneNForgotten]

They have doubled in price since this video

[MattKiefer]

36k miles for 6-7k, show me where I can find this?

[robertjackson]

The 2012 doesn't have the large beak and the Advanced package is very nice. These cars haul a$$ and like you say near triple digit is nothing for it for hours on end. My wife's car, I have a 2010 MDX Advance with 284K miles and still love it. Honda/Acura leads in product reliability of all engine manufacturers including Toyota.
Top 10 manufacturers – most reliable engines
Manufacturer Failure Rate
1 Honda 1 in 344
2 Toyota 1 in 171
3 Mercedes-Benz 1 in 119
4 Volvo 1 in 111

I paid 5800 for a '10 TL 3.5L with 123k miles a year ago and had not one engine light yet. Just did tran fluid change, oil changes, and change the brakes. Best money spent.

[jaymuzikelsensacional]

and now in 2022 a used 09 tl with 180k would cost about 9 to 10k

[brittoncoil]

A TL like this is like 16k now with this low of mileage

[PSProK]

There’s a 2009 Acura TL V6 at the CarMax for $15k after fees. 65k miles. Is that a good deal? Running a 2002 Honda Civic LX now with only 92k miles but I need something larger/more powerful.

[FosterFarmsOk]

What was Acura thinking going when restyling an 08 TL to 09

[Essy-mu]

Thanks so much I was just debating on if I should get this as my first car!🔥

[danieltoribio]

I had this car in 2013. I regret selling it.

[ryanmacneille]

Do you have to use premium fuel with these?
