2005 Acura TL - 6 speed - Navigation - Leather
2005 Acura TL Base Sedan 4-Door Description
You are looking at a 2005 Acura TL with a 6-speed manual transmission and Navigation (these are rare). I bought this car as a nice project - something fun to do at night, and then something fun to drive (my old job had me travelling a lot). It has been a great car - lots of fun to drive!! It accelerates very quickly, corners wonderfully, and is a delight to drive. I will miss it terribly, but have to let it go to make room in my garage. It has a clean carfax report that I can send to you. I purchased the car in 2015 and have only put a little less than 3,000 miles on it. Since then, the following work has been done:
- Timing Belt Replacement (Aamco)
- Power steering pump - replaced 2 gaskets that are known to fail in Hondas (Acuras)
- Serpentine Belt (one extra spare also comes with the car)
- 2 engine/tranny mounts
- Navagation system repair - (sent out - new microprocessor and disk drive - comes with 1 year warranty)
- Replaced the cooling tank expansion cap
- Cabin Air filter replacement
- Intake air ~4" 'hose' replacement
- 6 new spark plugs
- Intake air filter replacement
- Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor replacement
- New battery
- Windshield wiper motor replacement
- New shift knob
- New battery ground cable
- Driver's seat buckle assembly (for a defective sensor switch)
- Front right axle
- Oil change with Castrol Full Synthetic 5w-20
As you can see, this is an extensive list - everything was done the right way and care was taken to fix everything the right way. I wanted to keep the car and drive it, but a recent job change means that I work from home (and don't need 2 cars).
The good:
- It was just inspected - everything looks good; it passed
- Brakes have plenty of life left on them, no rotor warpage, tires have lots of life left
- All of the known and common Honda problems have already been taken care of (Windshield wiper motor, Pedal position sensor, buckle assembly, and navigation system) - you're getting a car that has had all of this headache taken care of.
- The manual transmission does not slip, and feels extremely good. It starts gripping almost immediately after the pedal is off the floor, and is very linear (most clutch pedals have dead zones and engage in a very short pedal distance).
- There is not a mechanical thing wrong with this car - it is ready to go
- The car has never been in an accident - the carfax is clean (I can send the carfax report or you can look it up yourself).
- It comes with 2 remotes - they're both working
- It is clean inside and out - recently waxed and detailed
- AC blows cold and doesn't leak
- Add-on Parrot Bluetooth system - much better than the stock Bluetooth solution.
- Has a subwoofer hook-up in the trunk - cables are already run (I never verified this hook-up - fuse has been pulled).
The bad:
- Somebody scuffed up the wheels (not the tires).
- There a small dent in the back of the car on the trunk lid
- Some clear-coat is coming off on the driver's side by the back door - it is minor and can be easily fixed - see pictures
- There is very very minor belt noise from the serpentine belt (verified by taking it off, verified by 2 mechanics as well)
- The integrated bluetooth has been disabled - there was an add-on system (Parrot) that works much better, has a screen, and allows you to stream music to the car.
- Typical Acura leather seat wear + gearshift bag wear (knob is brand new)...see pictures
- Body is in pretty good condition, but not 'excellent'/brand new condition.
I have the title in hand and ready to go.
