Fantastic !

That green would make any owner a marked man with the Waterloo Regional and surrounding OPP to the north.  :rofl2:  :(

Buddy of mine had a TL SH-AWD with that interior but a grey exterior, it was a really nice car.

Black is for seasonal/hobby cars unless one has their own automated car wash at home.  Black is only good when clean and shiny.  Speaking of interiors; yes tan leather with black, but I prefer black leather in a white vehicle.

Someone will be very happy with that TL.  Trip to Krown is a must after purchase assuming they are buying for the long haul.

Got an insurance quote for the new car today. Cheaper than the TL!  :fall:

Camaro is cheaper?

It also comes with a nice set of 18 inch alloy rims and winter sport tires! I do things right.  :P

Trust me, I've seen how you guys take care of your cars.  The condition of the TL is the least of my concerns.

And that interior!   :drool:

Love that colour leather.

Looking at the mkt here in the GTA comparable cards are advertised in the 23-24k range.

So I guess the trade value would be ~18k + HST value? Call it $20-21k. That does look pretty great.


Scratch that I was looking at 2013. Looks like 2012s are going for a lot less for some reason. Even better deal. Almost silly good.

My brother has my old TL. Every time I see it I kind of miss it....loved the interior. Wish I could transplant that interior into the MDX.

Just wanted to say I miss this car.

Say what you will but it was a good solid ride.

My dad traded his 2013 TL Elite a few months ago for a 2015 NX200t.

Its still at the dealer for sale. Mint.

I don't think anybody has ever disparaged the TL, especially when equipped with SH-AWD and a manual...  It was peak Acura, as far as I'm concerned.

I'll always have a fondness for these cars and the RLs. Stylish, nice interiors, enoughh power and reliable. And awd to boot.

I drove the RLX Sport Hybrid (both gens) and was blown away at how good they were. The second gen was particularly impressive performance wise. If it wasn't for the so-so fuel mileage, I'd be looking for one of these instead of a GS450h.
