sooperrescue:
Dont buy, it is not tolerant of regular unleaded fuel and so na so so gear box issue you will face and the engine will become sluggish and Kazeem will always be changing your coils, plugs servicing your injectors and before the car tire, you have retired.

You are so very wrong. I own this car and have used it for 4years now and still counting. Very reliable and strong car. Just do your routine maintenance as at when due and use recommend oil/fluids especially the transmission fluid. Yes I have changed my transmission before but it failed based on my ignorance.

sooperrescue:


At least you admitted that you were ignorant over your transmission. Can you tell the new buyer what was the ignorance that made you change your transmission? You used Abro ATF? Why not tell the new buyer what your routine maintenance means, like how many times have they changed your plugs, coils, nozzles and then what type of fuel Acura uses> Can you put your hand into your oil chamber and let us see if there is no sludge? Is the car still agile like it was 4 years ago? If all these questions are affirmative, then you can give him honest advice. Count, on any major road how many TL you will see on the road? There is only one that I know of who bought his TL and ordered 5 w 20 Penzoil from the US, that is the only guy that reads the fuel consumption online and ensures that it tallies with his car's performance.

Mr man, I do not need to argue with you on a car you probably have not used and your assumptions based on hear say. But the keep the record straight, I HAVE not and NEVER have changed the above parts you mentioned. I also do not need to take pictures to prove to you that I DO NOT have sludge build up or how neat my car is just to satisfy your baseless curiosity. I can help you and arrange for a test drive my car(but come with your unleaded or premium fuel). And by the way....her name is Samantha. She has siblings too.

Lexusgs430:


Lol. This fuel scarcity dey cause something else o!!! How big are Samantha's siblings?

grimadult:


I greet you... Samantha is the oldest of them all, a 3.2ltr V6 Vtec with a four speed transmission. Then Amanda... 2004 Honda Pilot 3.5ltr V6. And Becky.. 2008 Honda Accord I4.

Sorry people and Pearly1,am not trying to derail this thread.

youre right, most hondas/acuras circa 97-05 especially V6 variants are prone to tranny issues.
