This Acura TL is super clean!
OVERVIEW:For sale by owner is this super clean 2004 Acura TL. I am the second owner and a non-smoker. This Acura TL has a clean title with a perfect Carfax Report (see below). This car has never been in an accident, never smoked in, and the paint is all original. This TL has been very well kept. Always driven responsibly. It drives perfect with no issues or problems. No smoke, no leaks, no check engine lights, no weird smells, nothing. This TL has been maintained very well and all maintenance is up-to-date. This car needs nothing. I have service records in hand including all major services (timing belt and water pump done at 107K miles). This Acura starts right up every time and idles smoothly. The 3.2L VTEC engine runs nice and quiet with great power on demand. The automatic transmission shifts properly through all gears. The brakes work great with no noises or harsh vibrations. The car drives down the road straight with no pulling or shaking. This TL handles great and drives great in all weather conditions, including snow (front wheel drive with traction control). Suspension is quiet and has no issues. This car has a nice sporty feel to it and I average 29 mpg on the highway. The heat works great and the a/c is ice cold. All power windows and the power moonroof works great. The Viper remote start works awesome and currently it is set to 20 minutes due to the super cold weather we've had. All interior gadgets work perfect with no issues. The 8 speaker premium sound system sounds awesome. All speakers sound perfect (very crisp and clear). I am confident with proper maintenance and a responsible owner this car will easily go another 150K miles. EXTERIOR:This TL is a beautiful car. The Redondo Red Pearl exterior is clean and glossy and still has a very nice shine. There are no major dents or scratches and absolutely no rust. All glass is perfect with no chips or cracks. The rims are very clean with no dents, bends, or brake dust stains. One rim has a little curb rash but that's it. The headlights are clear with no cracks or discoloration. The factory installed gold emblems look nice but show a little age. The oem chrome exhaust tips are super clean and still look brand new (I polish them regularly). There are a few touched up paint chips from highway use but other than that this car is super clean with only a few minor scratches from use and 1 very small door ding (see pictures below). This car would look brand new with a nice wax and buff. Overall the exterior is super clean and looks very nice. INTERIOR:The ebony interior is very clean as well. There are no broken or missing interior pieces. All buttons and gadgets work perfect with no issues. The leather seats are very comfortable and still look great with little wear. There are no cuts, rips, or stains on the seats. The heated front seats work great. The carpet is clean with no holes or stains. The headliner and door panels are very clean with a little wear on drivers door aluminum trim. The dash has no cracks or issues. The center console and armrest look nice with only a little wear on the center aluminum trim. The steering wheel looks great and has no issues and shows little wear from use. All interior lighting works perfect with no burnt out bulbs. The dash panel, Navigation area, and gauge cluster are clean and look new with no defects. The floor mats are clean with no holes or stains. The trunk area is clean and the car comes with a dealer installed TL rubber tray. The car comes with the oem spare tire and tools. The engine bay is super clean with no issues. Overall the interior is very clean and comfortable. OPTIONS:This TL is fully loaded with options. It has the technology package and the factory installed gold package. Some of the options include Voice Activated Navigation-Radio-Climate Control, Dual Auto Climate Control, 8 inch Display screen for Turn by Turn Navigation System, XM Radio, in-dash 6 disc CD/MP3 player with cassette player, DVD Player, 8 Speaker Premium Sound System, Dual Front Airbags, Front and Rear Side Airbags, Auto Up/Down Power Windows, Power Moonroof, Spoiler, Premium Wheels, Bi-Xenon HID Headlights (lowbeams and highbeams are HID), Heated Leather, Traction Control, Hands Free Link Bluetooth, Garage Door Opener, Remote Start, Keyless Entry with Remote Windows, Anti-theft Security Alarm, Driver Memory Link, Power and Heated Side Mirrors, Auto Dimming Rear View Mirror, Cruise Control, ABS Brakes, Tilt and Telescoping Steering Wheel, Dual Power Seats, ect, ect. All options work perfect with no issues. MAINTENANCE:This TL has been properly maintained. Oil has been changed every 5K miles with 5W20 Mobil 1 Full Synthetic. The A/C System was recharged last summer and works perfect. Any time this car needed something, it got it. The most recent major service was at 107K miles and at that time the following was completed; Timing Belt and Water Pump replaced, New Denso Iridium Spark Plugs Installed, New Cabin Air Filter, K&N Air Filter installed, Brake Fluid Flush, Transmission Fluid Serviced, New Rear Brake Pads and Rotors installed, Cooling System Flush, Remote Start installed, and a New Acura Dealer Key Programmed. Other more recent maintenance and repairs include a Brand New 4 Year Battery a month ago, New Hood Lift Supports installed last Fall, 1 HID Headlight Bulb Replaced, Upper and Lower Ball Joints replaced last June, 2 New Front Tires and Fresh Alignment, and new Power Steering Pump O-ring. The Navigation system was updated in 2012 with the new update disc. This TL needs nothing. TERMS:This is a No Reserve Auction so the highest bidder wins. The winner must call me immediately after auction ends to schedule a pick up time. My phone number is 309-369-6620. I have a clear title in hand along with all original manuals, service records, 2 keys, 2 Acura keyless entry remotes, 2 remote start remotes and Security Card for navigation and radio codes. The transaction must be in person and payment must be in cash. Car must be picked up and paid for within 7 days of auction end. If you cannot pick up the car in person within 7 days and pay with cash then please do not bid. On Kelley Blue Book my TL books at $9202 Suggested Retail Value and $8502 for Fair Purchase Price for "Good Condition" but my TL is much better than "Good Condition" and I would consider my TL in between Very Good Condition and Excellent Condition. I am confident my TL will bring its worth. The Carfax Report and pictures are below. If you have any questions, you can message me through ebay messaging or call me directly at 309-369-6620. Thank you.

What Is, What Could Have Been, And What May Yet Be
History is largely unkind to losers. That's true in the world of politics and sports, and it follows on with a few caveats in the realm of automobiles.
In terms of cars, historic losers tend to be remembered in one of two broad ways. Every once in a while, unsuccessful or oddball models actually make reputational gains after some time away from the new-car marketplace. I consider the Saab 9-2X one of the recent poster children for this group; a car that moved like molasses on dealer lots in the mid-2000s but has morphed into a sort of hard-to-find, used gem in recent years. More often, though, that which was unloved when new remains unloved with tens or hundreds of thousands of miles on the odometer. Pontiac's seriously misunderstood Aztek has king status here (despite the wailings of oddball fan clubs across the nation), so much so that invoking "Aztek" as a pejorative stopped being pithy about a dozen years ago.

 Acura is gunning for multiple trophies at Pikes Peak later this month, sending no less than six vehicles to the famed hillclimb event. The fleet consists of two NSX race cars, two TLX Type S race cars, a TLX Type S pace car, and the 2022 MDX Type S making its first public debut. The all-volunteer team comprising Acura employees will be towing the more potent of the TLX race cars 1,300 miles from its base in Ohio to the Colorado venue with an MDX Type S. While a stock TLX Type S weighs 4,221 pounds, a mass that's pretty close to the 355-horsepower, 354 pound-foot flagship's towing capacity of 5,000, the race car is considerably lighter. Honda put the TLX Type S on a 600-pound diet, gutting the interior and replacing parts with lightweight components like a carbon fiber hood. Naturally, aerodynamic aids like splitters, canards, and spoilers festoon the race car. On top of that, the 3.0-liter V6 it shares with the big brother MDX Type S has been modified with a with a larger turbo and additional cooling to account for the thin air approaching the 14,000-foot summit. Acura engineer Justin Lumbard will helm the TLX in the Pikes Peak Open Division, in which an Acura TLX GT race car holds the record of 9:24.433, set by Acura race veteran Peter Cunningham in 2019. Meanwhile, chassis engineer and cool-name-haver Jordan Guitar will be piloting the other TLX Type S, a more stock version with only a 300-pound diet. Both cars wear race-modified suspensions and HRE 19-inch 19 x 9.5-inch wheels wrapped in Pirelli slicks. Likewise, the NSX pairs comprise one hard-core racer and one mostly stock car each, allowing Acura to pursue wins in multiple classes. Drivers and brothers James and Nick Robinson are no strangers to Pikes Peak records. James helped Acura clinch the Hybrid Class record with a time of 10:01.913 in an NSX last year, and is now shooting for a Time Attack 1 Division championship. His NSX puts out around 625 horsepower thanks to larger turbos and reprogrammed engine software. A front splitter, large rear wing, 200-pound weight reduction are just some of the race-prep modifications. Meanwhile, Nick holds the front-wheel-drive record, set in 2018 with a first-generation Acura TLX and a time of 10:48.094. This year, Nick is behind the wheel of an NSX that's all stock — aside from safety equipment and race tires — in the hopes of achieving a Time Attack 2 production record attempt.

When 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.
