2005 Acura TL

So when I graduate next May I am thinking about getting a new car. I will probably keep the GA since it would probably be worth -$3,000 but I am liking the Acura TL more and more. They have four doors and come with a 6 speed. The hp is nice and the options are great. So what is everyones opinion on the car? When I first saw it, I didn't like it, but the more I see it, the more I like it.

Discuss.

i didn't like them much but they're showing up more and more around in this area and they look great. it seems like a good choice.

I drive by the acura dealer I live next do every day.. twice.. I think it's hot. I took an auto for a spin, I reeeeeeeallly liked it. I'd be getting a 6 speed def tho. My brother offered to buy my car in the fall, if that goes through, I'm gettin a TL.

I really want a G6, but the cool one won't be out for a little while. In the mean time, I can have a TL, and if I like the G6, at least i'll have a car with some value to trade up.. If the g6 ends up sucking, keep the TL. thats my plan

Ok now I can hate you too
The TLs are freakin sweet!! They look even better with the Aspec body kit...but if you add the Aspec package to the car its about $40,000. I would just buy the kit seperately.

Hot car...definitely a dream car of mine. I have to stick with the Accord for at least a couple years, or one...then depending on whats out there, I may end up with a TL, mmmmm.

Pure hotness...

The new TL's are hot. I'm not even close to being able to afford one, but they are effing sweet.

One thing I like about them is that although they have four doors, they still look nice and have some nice power. The 6 speed and navigation is a plus as well. Do they come with HID's?

Screw navigation, we are men. Yep HIDs

But IF I let my girlfriend drive it, I don't want her to take a wrong turn and end up in the ghetto

40k for that car

You know the only color I have seen is black and silver. Do they make a blue by chance

The one I saw on their website is msrp at 32k or 34k with more options. I would expect to talk the saleperson down a little bit.

[Nikki]

Yes they make blue and its sweet...

Greg - $40K if you want the overpriced Aspec package which is shown in the pic I posted...

[iceman]

Blue.......... : D

[Nikki]

Heres a blue regular one for ya...

Whats the invoice on one w/o the kit? Least you know acura will hold value not like a pontiac thats worth 1/2 the value after 1 year

Ah Snap, I want that car

Josh already posted the prices...the Aspec package is not just a kit, its suspension and wheel upgrades as well...but still not worth the additional $$, IMO, you can get it cheaper yourself

[GregFarz78]

doh...32k not bad you should be able to get that a little over invoice figure 30k I rode in an older TL or maybe it was a CL I forget but it was pimp whatever it was that thing was luxury and had balls.

I saw on ebay they have the package spoiler, ground effects, rims, brakes, springs and so forth for $3995. OEM manufactured.

Interesting.
A good site for OEM Honda and Acura parts is H and A Accessories

Here is the link:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6755

so is that everything that comes with the package say from Acura themselves?
