Great Video, I am currently looking at 2010 Acura TL Sedan 4D at 142k miles. The car had one owner asking price is $8,999.00. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

I have a 2011 and had have lots of Acura's and a few Honda's and i love this thing! its so refined and Acura at its peak! with becoming technology advanced now finally, and the els sound system is beautiful, im a hifi audio enthusiast and I'm blown away by how it sounds and its in my ACURA factory.

Thanks for your Video!

yes! I completely agree!

Except for that whole burns-a-gallon-of-oil-every-oilchange thing. Other than that it's great.

you are referring to the 3.7L engine with SH-AWD. The 3.5L engine doesn't burn any oil

@@MrNate-wm3mp I have the 3.7L apart from oil, its a gas guzzler or is it just mine? at least for an Acura sedan.

@@femia.9298 yes the 3.7 is a gas guzzler. almost as bad as an MDX. my father always gripes about that. He commutes 50 miles for work everyday in his TL and he now has a Prius to drive every other day to make up for the mpg

Hey I am also experiencing the same issue however I have the base model...Were there certain gears that the shuddering happened at? Mine happens between the 1st and 2nd gears then after that it is fine

@@samuelagyei8115yeah same here when I’m accelerating slowly, 3rd and 4th kind of bounce under 3k rpm. When I accelerate aggressive past 3k in those gears it shifts like a dream. When I drive at low rpms too under 10 miles an hour my throttle gives a “grindy” noise almost vibration like under 1.5k rpms. Car has had no issues so far, 160k miles, I’m the second owner and bought it in 2020 with 110k miles.

Oh yea got mines at 66k now it’s at 72k it’s practically brand new 😂

@@392jesus9that IS brand new 😂 bought my 3rd gen at 145k and felt like it was new 😅

@@paulbrown3302hey bro I have a question for you

2010 TL with less than 23k, won the lottery

225k miles and counting!

How much did you pay? You got it before the used car market went nuts super lucky

@@mechanicalmonkey7777 how much were these before used market went nuts ? What is good price to pay for 2012-2014 TL with 100K miles ?

@@gurpalsingh3695 sorry for the late reply I never saw this. I got it for 9k believe it or not! Tech Package too!

@@mechanicalmonkey7777 $9k

36000

Stop fucking with his phone

It’s whatever leave things be please. I did nothing you

Bruh I'm getting a 2013 TL that also comes with 67k miles, the odds lol

David-Alexandre Hauben I’m not fucking lying I’m getting one for 12k it’s a sh-awd with 67k miles on it too

I got 2010 acura tl FWD with 73k miles for 9k. No tech package and no AWD, still has tons of life in it.

The question would be has anyone had a bad ownership experience with there TL and why? Everyone that I've known that has owned a TL has loved it

Gas sucks on them though

Mine is currently at 156k , just take care of her and she will take care of you

@No Malice mine had 81k I got it from Carmax

Idc it’s not mine I have a ford found on road dead! 2022. I’m sure u will see my house MY HOUSE 2 acres BULLY BULLY BULLYBULLY BULLY BULLYING BULLY

Lmtfa

Rob Wilson right in between 5’11 and 6 ft Lol I was a little nervous new to the videos. I’m going to redo it at some point

5’12” is an old saying. its for us 5”11 guys who never made it :) basketball jokes

Bro I was just about to say the same thing you either 5’11 or 6’0 you don’t play madden dude?

Rob Wilson yea I was like hold up wait a minute

Lol I knew someone was going to comment on that. Lol 😆

I have just bought a 2010 TL SH-AWD ASPEC & TECH with 6SP MT in MINT condition and yep it is sporty and luxurious, but without being harsh...not one bit...maybe the roads where you live are full of potholes and unequal surfaces....just saying...

Did you have the oil consumed issue? The J37 are known to have that issue.

Did you end up getting one? Fwd or sh-awd?

Nope not yet. Maybe in like a year I’ll get a FWD Tech package TL. I heard the AWD ones are bad on oil consumption and have a rough ride LOL

@@danielramotowski5187 and they're also worse on gas mileage it seems. But i also live in a very snowy region in the winter and ppl generally recommend the sh-awd due to better driving experience it seems, but i still can't decide between the two lol

just go for one with high miles man they are literally just as reliable

You still got the car

@@TeenClown Yes 215K now Still running like a top Absolutely love it

I am the proud owner of a 4th gen 6mt and I can tell you these cars are pretty easy to maintain, you don't need to take them to a dealership or a mechanic for most things. In fact DON'T take your TL to a mechanic. see my channel for a video where the tech abused because it, he didn't know how to drive stick shift. 200k is timing belt, water pump, tensioners, spark plugs. That's the biggest/pricey maintenance this car has. do it Every 10 yrs or 105k. After that is pretty much just oil changes and maybe AT fluid

@@supersabrosinho ok I’m looking to buy one for a daily doing my research and now I see why they’re at 15k at 140 plus mileage

@@supersabrosinho can u tell visually when those services need done? I'm buying one 215k on it has all the services records but nothing on the major things u listed.

How much your car note

I paid it off. 12k

tamcif You bought it in cash ?

Waw give a kinda new car for 2012 one that’s what’s up that’s love

Muhammad 25 my dad just bought a 11’ TL shawd and I love how the exhaust on it has a nice little sound

What was your purchase price, miles, etc? Any issue with oil consumption?

ThaDopeShow his was also $8k with 191k miles. Oil consumption yes there is we knew about it going into it so we bought an extended warranty and are about to get them involved regarding getting it fixed.

@@MrNate-wm3mp Did you really need the extended warranty? I learned that Acura will fix the issue until September 1, 2019.

ThaDopeShow even with almost 200k miles? We were also worried about the prop shaft. The extended warranty was only worth it to us as my close friend had an accord 2009 that burned oil too and they paid for new rings and all new internal parts even timing chain

oh yea i wouldnt have got the car if i couldnt. the car just acts as if its bluetooth headphones that technology was pretty well developed when the 2009 TL came out

that's awesome man! I love it!

Bro what are u sure that he was racing you?

@pochoun33137 it's good. I had to replace the radiator but other than that, it's fine.

@pochoun33137 no, not yet, and fluid looks clean and clear. It's a bit of a gas hog though... 10.6l/100km is what I'm averaging.

..you dont need premium bud. Its a nat. aspirated v6 lmao

@@Tai.S actually if it's the 3.7 then yes it absolutely needs premium. Owners manual specifically states premium required and lesser fuel can cause engine damage. Now I suppose if you are cheap and can use regular without pinging then you might be okay but then why get a car who's manufacturer specifically states premium required. Do you know more then the people who engineered this car?

Did you ever change the Timing Belt ??

@@breezyjeezy2255 I would also like to know the answer to that

​@@breezyjeezy2255 me too

300k is too much , save your money wait until u can find a 100-200k one for around 10k and u will be good

Joseph Koroma absolutely! I would change it 3 times if it has not been done in the last 40k miles. After you do that simply drain and fill 3 quarts every 15k miles or every other oil change if you intervals are 7500 or your going off maintenance minder

It was replaced at 105k and due again at 210k

Timing belt change?

Did you get one? It's worth it! Each person I've given a ride always tells me how nice it is. Not bad for an old car.

@@jesusb9562 i wish! its been so hard to find a job these days. and knowone buys my merch so i dont have money to buy a car. i have my license just not enough fkr a car. 🥺😢

But hey it still runs. At the end of the day it drives and that's what matters.

Changed it awhile back

Currently driving 2009 Acura TL SH-AWD with 168,600 miles looking to trade it in for a 2012 TL SH-AWD with 130,000 miles for $10,000

Just bought a 2010 SH-AWD with the 6-speed manual 110k miles for $12k. Hard to find one with a stick, but well worth it. People like to charge the maximum for them even with high mileage, but keep looking.

Same with mine. The driver's side won't lock

if you haven't already fixed then prob just needs a lock actuator. I haven't had to replace any of mine yet but I hear one getting a little noisy

@@MrNate-wm3mp it's probably going to cost me a fortune to fix it. Am about to upgrade to a Kia stinger

😂

vibra64 my 2010 doesn’t have any at 107k, but it is a manual

Timing belt change at 100k

I drive a 2013 with only 61k miles.. The manual says do it at 100k miles.. nothing about years.. gonna do it next spring regardless of mileage just to be safe.

Almost time for the 100K maintenance. That’s a important service you must do! I just picked up a 2010 TL SHAWD 6MT with a 106,000 miles. All major services have been done by Acura so I’m very confident in the vehicle. If your getting the SHAWD, make sure the motor is not consuming any oil. Ask if the oil consumption test has been done. Only on the 3.7 motors not 3.5

I bought my 09 tl over a year ago with 87k on it and has been nothing but perfect since I’ve owned it. If you’re still looking I highly recommend

Still available

hell yeah! in between 5'11 and 6 haha!

Yes

I'd take a '12 TL over a '16 Civic any day. Even with the higher mileage, the TL will almost certainly be more reliable thanks to not having a CVT or any type of forced induction (unlike the Civic). Plus, the TL is just a more enjoyable car to drive as a whole

You really can’t compare these two cars since they are just completely different in every category I’d take the TL cause they are just an overall better car. The TL is going to feel more powerful and ride way better then a civic. The TL is going to appeal a lot more. You will very seldom if ever get any head turners on either car but the TL would bring more attention then a civic. Every once in a blue moon someone will ask me if my TL is brand new or say it looks really good, mainly from ppl who don’t know about cars and just see a glossy black and has lots of good looking curves on it. The civic would be a great car too but you buy them for completely different reasons. Like you simply just want a newer car and something gas efficient and all at a decent price. You don’t really care how it looks or how small it is. The civic is just a car and there isn’t much to it. It’s going to drive good and be reliable for you at all times.

Every 2-3 years should suffice.

I generally do every 2 years. Drain and fill transmission every other oil change.

Interesting. Never heard of that problem. I’ve heard of older Acura’s having that didn’t have BT Audio have issues but I’ve always wondered that about our TLs

Delete every phone that's on the bluetooth setting and then add a new phone to bluetooth

It’s just a wear item. But it’s pretty uncommon for them to fail. I have an MDX and my father has an identical TL without the issue. Are they offering to sell you the 12 TL for $11k or is that the offer for your WRX?

Accord Troop oh okay! And instead of $14k they said they’ll sell me the 2012 Acura TL for $11k with 73k miles on it.

I realied how you did it. You reset it, drove slow then filmed the video LOL

Id make sure the timing belt has been changed

I got a 2009 TL with 285,000kms(178k miles) and had no issues at all.

goddam!! whats the price on that?

imac846 $8k

@@NinjaPickups hell no🤦🏾‍♂️

King Aza 👍

Could try to get it under 10k

Get 2012+ better

Yah. Just make sure it doesnt have any issues

This is a good example of why it really is better to buy a higher mileage one. Cars like to be driven. I’m at almost 220k on mine and it has not had a single issue

probably didnt need replacement, mechanic fucked something up

Same question i have now

@@chikku807 I don’t think there’s a difference but I have had the 2012 Acura TL tech package since September and I love it put over 5k miles on it now

@@392jesus9 is it fwd or awd? And how's the gas mileage?

@@chikku807 mines is fwd and the gas mileage is pretty good. I like to drive fast sometimes because it’s a sporty car so I can get lower mpg like 15-20mpg haha, but if your just commuting you get decent gas mileage like 25 mpg. It only takes premium gas as well so it’s not like 4 cylinders where you can use regular gas but I got use to it over time and for work I have a 2010 Toyota corolla but I love driving the Acura TL because that thing is zippy and luxurious.

@@392jesus9 nice! I'm debating between the awd and fwd also because it seems the fwd does better in terms of fuel economy and is more reliable but awd is sportier and better for winter but im not sure if it's still worth it. Seems like fwd is more than enough for a lot of ppl
