Year:2004
Mileage:143600
Color:
Location:
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.
And again, PLEASE email me with any questions BEFORE you bid!
Thanks and happy bidding! |

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
Honda recalls 2.23 million vehicles to replace Takata inflators
Thu, Feb 4 2016The Basics: Honda and Acura will recall 2.23 million vehicles in the US. The affected models are: 2005-2012 Acura RL 2007-2011 Honda CR-V 2007-2016 Acura RDX (early production MY 2016 vehicles only) 2007-2014 Honda Ridgeline 2009-2014 Honda Fit 2009-2014 Acura TL 2010-2014 Honda FCX Clarity 2010-2014 Honda Insight 2010-2013 Acura ZDX 2011-2015 Honda CR-Z 2013-2016 Acura ILX (early production MY 2016 vehicles only) The Problem: These vehicles have Takata's PSDI-5 airbag inflator on the driver's side, and this part could rupture if the airbag deploys. Injuries/Deaths: There are no reported ruptures of the PSDI-5 inflator in Honda or Acura vehicles. However, Takata's exploding components have links to at least 10 deaths worldwide because they can spray shrapnel at occupants. The Fix: Honda and Acura dealers will replace the inflators with parts from an alternative supplier. If You Own One: The repairs will begin this summer. Owners will receive a letter notifying them about the recall within 60 days and will get a second message when the parts are available. The company will prioritize older models in high-humidity regions first because these inflators would be most likely to rupture. More Information: Honda and Acura have now recalled 8.51 million vehicles in the US to replace their driver or passenger side inflators. This latest expansion came in the wake of a driver death from an airbag rupture in a Ford Ranger. Ford and Mazda already enlarged their safety campaigns. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also announced Audi, BMW, Daimler Vans, Mercedes-Benz, Saab, and Volkswagen would have recalls for this issue, too. Statement by American Honda Regarding Nationwide Recall of Certain Takata PSDI-5 Driver Front Airbag Inflators Feb 3, 2016 - TORRANCE, Calif. Approximately 2.23 million Takata PSDI-5 driver front airbag inflators will require replacement in Honda and Acura vehicles in the U.S. No PSDI-5 inflator ruptures have been reported in Honda or Acura vehicles Takata inflators will be replaced with parts from an alternative supplier with repairs beginning in the Summer of 2016 Based on a recent Defect Information Report (16E-005) from the airbag inflator supplier, Takata, Honda will conduct a national recall (16V-061) of approximately 2.23 million Honda and Acura vehicles in the United States to replace, free of charge to vehicle owners, the PSDI-5 Takata driver front airbag inflators installed in those vehicles.
Acura MDX teaser photos show an upscale interior
Fri, Oct 9 2020After teasing us with an exterior image of the fourth-generation Acura MDX a week ago, Acura has now followed up with images of the interior. The exterior teaser was done up in "Tron" style, but these interior shots go beyond outlines to reveal some details that are much less obscured. Acura promises the MDX will be the "most premium and performance-focused" version of the SUV yet and has earned "elevated status" as the brand's flagship. (Only about 1,000 of the RLX were sold in North America last year, vs. 52,000 of the MDX, so it seems the big sedan got demoted as flagship. Aw.) The MDX's instrument panel is lower and wider, Acura says, and the interior is trimmed out in real open-pore wood. The leather dash is "hand-wrapped" with French seams. All three rows of seating surfaces are quilted, with perforations done in a gradated design, and there is contrasting piping and stitching. Massaging front seats add to the premium experience. Acura promises a variety of new technologies in the cabin, including what it calls the Acura Precision Cockpit, along with a mighty wide-looking HD infotainment screen and Acura's dynamic ELS Studio 3D sound system with 25 speakers. (Where do they put them all?) After Acura did great things with the RDX and the new 2021 TLX, we expect the MDX redesign will follow suit in reinvigorating the brand. The MDX will likely offer the same engines as in the TLX: a 272-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder as the base engine, and a 355-horsepower turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine as an option. But we should know more about all of the above when the prototype Acura MDX — albeit a very-near-production prototype — will be revealed next Wednesday, Oct. 14. Related Video:
