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).

 

> power, heated mirrors

> carpeted floor mats (currently stored in trunk)

> all-weather floor mats (currently in car)

> trunk cargo net

> trunk rubber cargo tray

> 4 wheel disc brakes with ABS and brake assist

> steering wheel mounted radio and Bluetooth telephone controls

> Leather steering wheel / telescopic tilt steering wheel

> traction control

> stability control

> fog lights

> xenon high intensity discharge headlamps

> driver and passenger airbags

> driver side impact airbags

> passenger side impact airbags

> curtain 1st and 2nd row overhead airbags

> power locks

> rear defrost

 

 

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.  


Please do not bid on this auction unless you are serious about owning this vehicle.  A non-paying high bidder will be reported to Ebay.  Please bid only what you are willing to pay.

 

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.

 

And again, PLEASE email me with any questions BEFORE you bid!

 

Thanks and happy bidding!

Acura Integras worked over by 3 popular tuners as SEMA custom builds

Wed, Oct 26 2022

The Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show is a chance for aftermarket manufacturers and automakers to come together with potential customers and the media to show off their custom rides. Honda and Acura are no strangers to the event, as people have been bringing hotted-up models from both automakers to the show for years. This year, three builders are bringing their interpretations of Acura’s newest car, the 2023 Integra. Acura gave the car to Daijiro Yoshihara, Sara Choi, and Coco Zurita, and each came up with a unique build for the car. YoshiharaÂ’s car features a Spoon air filter and exhaust, BBS REV7 wheels, EVS tuning exterior components, and a host of motorsport-ready interior upgrades. ChoiÂ’s Integra features a GReddy intercooler and oil cooler, Advan wheels, a wide body kit, and Battle Craft interior parts. Zarita installed several powertrain upgrades, including an AÂ’PEXI exhaust, an HPS cold air intake, a GReddy intercooler, and HPS turbo components. The cars made their debut at The Petersen Museum on October 23 and will head to SEMA from November 1-4. From there, Acura will take them to Radwood L.A. on November 19 and the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach on April 14-16. The Integra is still relatively new, so the aftermarket doesnÂ’t offer the wealth of upgrades that older Honda Civics and other Japanese cars enjoy. Some companies have already released dedicated tunes and other car mods, so weÂ’re hopeful these SEMA rigs will help jumpstart development for the vehicle.

Honda to compete in seven Pike's Peak classes in 2014

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is one of the greatest events on the international motorsports calendar. Its Unlimited class harkens back to the old days of racing, when teams built vehicles to be the fastest with whatever they had. Honda is returning to the event for 2014 for its second year as a sponsor and participant, and it's bringing some cool machines of its own.
The company is fielding seven entrants this year, which is somewhat smaller than last year. In 2013, it brought 11 factory-supported vehicles in 10 classes, including an insane Honda Odyssey with a 532-horsepower turbocharged V6 engine. There's no need to be too disappointed by the shorter list, though. Former 24 Hours of Le Mans-winner Romain Dumas is back piloting a Honda-powered Norma chassis up the hill in the Unlimited class. Dumas attempted to race the car last year, but it broke down during his run. Other competitors include an NSX (pictured above), Fit B-Spec and an S3700, which is an S2000 with a 3.7-liter V6 engine.
In its role as sponsor, Honda says it has also worked with the sanctioning body to add an AirFence safety barrier along some corners for the motorcycle and ATV riders. This year's Pikes Peak is being held on Sunday, June 29. Scroll down to read the full details about Honda's team and start getting excited for this year's running.

Acura NSX owners receive custom short teaser movies of their personal car

Mon, Dec 19 2016

In a neat bit of fan service for those who've ordered Acura's new NSX halo car, the company will make a short film that reflects the way the car's been configured. Those films are on their way to future owners as you read this. In addition, they'll get a 1:18 scale custom model of their own car, reflecting every appearance option inside and out. That's neat. So neat, in fact, that we decided to commission our own video. We got together and configured a car in the lovely Nouvelle Blue Pearl, and sent our build over to Acura. They put together a video that's mostly representative of what an owner would see. You can see our build plate (hint: it says "Autoblog – Precision Crafted By Performance Manufacturing Center" on it), and that's "our" car on the dyno starting about 22 seconds in. If you want to check out someone else's film, you can compare our build to Jay Leno's. The reason Acura can do this is that there simply aren't that many available configurations for the NSX. This is at the root of one of the main criticisms some of our editors have about the car. An NSX starts at darn close to $160,000, and there are eight paint options (not too bad), four interior color options, and three seating options. All well and good, but compare that to the 16 paint and 12 interior color/material choices in a 911 Turbo, for example, choosing a similarly high-performance car at a similar price range. And there's a further wrinkle: Porsche will paint your car to match a sample you provide, so in reality the ability for an owner to make the car uniquely theirs is infinite, if you don't mind paying for it. See also the BMW Individual program, or McLaren's MSO one-offs. We're not just talking about the MSO Defined options, but the MSO Bespoke program itself, which will basically do anything you want to the car as long as it's road legal and your check doesn't bounce. We've been to MSO, and they're not kidding: they'll build anything. So yes, these custom videos are nice fan service, and they'll certainly jazz up the buyers who've already ordered one of these dynamically impressive cars. It's a move that builds loyalty, and certainly doesn't have much of a drawback. But for us, already a bit sensitive to Acura's conservative option list for the NSX, it serves to highlight the gap between Acura and the more established brands in catering to well-off customers' desire for bespoke range-topping creations.
