Default Anyone drive an Acura TL, 2000-2003 model, mine is approaching 100K, should I keep it,

or upgrade it? I can upgrade it to the Acura TL 2005-2007 model, and pay more, or just have no car payment, and worry about this car and its problems in the future. http://www.acura.com/index.aspx?initPath=TL

that depends on if youve had any transmission problems the TL is notorious for having tranny problems they even recalled them one year, i say if you havet had any major problems keep it for a couple of more years and then if it start giving you major problems trade it then, and besides you only got a hundred thousand that car would last three i say keep it

I have two of the 1994 Acura Legend LS cars, I used to owna 94 Legend GS and a 1986 Acura Legend so I know a littleabout Acura cars. My son has a 2002 Acura 3.2 TL.Here's your answer from me: No one knows the future. Youshould make sure you car is well serviced and maintained.If you want you can pay around $75 for what the mechanicscall a leak down test which gives you an idea if somethingnegative is going on inside your engine. Something likebad valve seals or bad piston rings or loss of compression.If it will make you feel better about the Acura automobile,about two years there was a 1992 Acura Legend fromCary, North Carolina on the internet. The owner stated itstill had the original engine, was still serviced by the sellingdealer and he was the original owner. The car had 600,000 miles and no signs of trouble. Good luck.

if the car is properly maintained l00k is not really alot of miles. It should go for alot more. a friend has a acura that has 425,000 miles on it and it still runs excellant. keep the car and start saving money so you can have lower car payments when you do decide to get another car. good luck-acura's as good as they are can have problems. I own one and love it.
