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!

Production Acura NSX spied getting sharper on the 'Ring

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

Acura hasn't been shy about trotting out the concept version of its upcoming NSX hybrid supercar - we've seen it colorized on Facebook, wearing Super GT drag and running wrapped at Mid Ohio - but until now, we've missed seeing the production version at all. Thankfully, our boys in the field have been diligently camped out by the Nürburgring, just the place for Acura engineers to get the NSX shaken down and ready for the public.
The first thing you'll likely notice (and no doubt appreciate) is that Acura is staying very true to the concept car. The same wind-tunnel-carved wedge shape is in evidence in the car's silhouette, and details like aggressively scalloped engine vents behind the cabin have made it through unscathed.
We do notice that there are some vertical elements at the bottom of the front fascia/grille that appear to be revised, and the mirrors are considerably less slinky than those of the concept car. Still, by and large, we're seeing a direct translation from show stand to real life here.

Acura NSX GT3 non-hybrid racecar on sale soon

Thu, Jul 27 2017

Just over a year ago, Acura debuted the NSX GT3, the FIA GT3-spec racecar based on the automaker's latest and greatest. While it took years for the road car to hit the streets, the NSX GT3 was developed in a relatively short amount of time. This year, the car competed in several races under the factory banner, racking up 50,000 miles and two race victories. Today, Honda and Acura announced the NSX GT3 will go on sale for private teams. Think of the NSX GT3 as a stripped out version of the standard NSX sans hybrid system. The 3.5-liter twin-turbo remains, but, since there are no electric motors up front, all the power is sent to the rear wheels through a XTRAC semi-automatic 6-speed sequential transmission. The chassis is built in Ohio right alongside the regular NSX. The same goes for the engines. The block, heads, valve train, crankshaft, pistons, and dry-sump lubrication system are the same specification as the production car. Final assembly is completed in Italy. This past year, the NSX GT3 competed under the Acura banner in the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GTD class and the Pirelli World Challenge GT category. In addition to those series, the car is built to compete in the Blancpain GT Series and 24 Hours Nurburgring in Europe, the Super GT GT300 class in Japan, as well as other GT3-spec race series. Different divisions of Honda will be handling global sales, with HPD responsible for the North American market. US pricing hasn't been announced, but converting the European models start at about $545,000. Now we just want to see a lightened, non-hybrid version of the NSX on the street.

Hands-on with Acura's novel touchpad infotainment interface

Thu, Nov 17 2016

After Acura's Precision Cockpit was unveiled here in LA, I sat in the, uh, driver's seat of the wheel-less interior mockup to get a feel for how this new touchscreen-free touch interface works. There are a lot of good ideas inside. Here are 11 things you should know. It's less like a trackpad and more like a remote-control tablet. So instead of letting you move a cursor relative to its last location like the trackpad on a laptop, each point on Acura's trackpad is mapped to a corresponding point on the center display. If you want what's in the upper right corner of the display, you touch and click in the upper right corner of the trackpad. Simple. I figured it out in two minutes. Maybe less. The whole thing is surprisingly intuitive. The ease of use is helped by the fact that the targets on the screen are pretty big – no tiny "buttons" to fiddle with. The clicks are real. The trackpad actually moves when you press down, so no need for simulated haptic feedback. In their research, Acura engineers found that accidental touches and presses are a real issue. We could have told them that – hit a bump while using a finicky remote interface like Lexus's all-but-abandoned joystick thing, and you select an item half-way across the screen from the one you intended. The placement of the trackpad in this concept interior also helps avoid unintentional inputs – it's not in the middle of the center console where it might get brushed or bumped, but instead in its own little cave at the base of the center-stack waterfall. (Acura's low-profile button-based transmission selector suddenly makes a whole lot of sense.) View 13 Photos Lots of cues cut down on distraction. You hover over the option you want before positively confirming the selection with a hard press. There's no cursor to find and reposition like in the Lexus trackpad system The red highlight gives the necessary visual cue that you put your finger in the right place. The pad is slightly dished to give you a tactile cue of where the center and edges are. It allows you to build up muscle memory, sort of like how you know generally where the "keys" are on your smartphone or tablet's virtual keyboard by now. Or at least I do on mine. You look at the screen, not what you're touching. The problem with touch screens is that they have to be low down in the car so you can reach them. That means you have to look down from the road to stab at what you want.
