With 258k and still starts every time

I bought this car from a friend who took great care of it. I’ve owned this car for the last 50k miles and I swear it runs better then when I got it. Just did the 250,000 mile Service to it. Got all the fluid flushed and system checked. This thing is so solid. My mind is blown, unlike this motor lol

Great value from an older luxury vehicle.

This car was top of the line when it came out and most of the features hold up today. I find it funny that I have heated mirrors and heated seats yet most of my friends with newer cars do not. The ride is incredibly comfortable and it has decent pick up. It handles great and overall is a perfect car to pick up for cheap and get more than your moneys worth.

First car I've owned

I love this car, even though I got frustrated with the radio code and just replace with a radio that I wanted. It was a great car. I will say, to make sure you have book manual and a car alarm. It was great on gas

Commuter

The car was passed down... it was a good car to get youto point a to poin b but it required premium gas which is expensive. Also a good car to get stolen... car got stolen 5 times...

Great car so far, highly recommend one

I bought a 98 Acura TL last month I found on Cars.com. Got a great price (from a dealer no less), the car is in excellent condition inside and out, engine and mechanicals in great condition. As a precaution I had the timing belt and water pump changed (car has 184K miles on it) and fixed a minor issue with the emissions system all cost $700. Drives like new. I was quite impressed. It was my intent to get a Honda-type vehicle and didn't want to spend more than $4000 on a used car. This car I got for significantly less including the repairs. So far I give the car 5 stars in every category. I feel confident letting my kids drive the car, and with the repairs confident that I'll get lots of miles and years of use out of it.

Excellent car

I bought this car new and drove it for 11 years without any major problems. I kept the maintenance up on it and it has run like a charm. I am sold on the Acura because they are excellent quality without the luxury prices, at least not yet.

This car has saved us much money! Dependable!

The car not only has a classy and sporty look for a sedan, but it drives like a dream. Even in the wind, it stays its course. You will only know what we mean if you have had another Acura. They truly hold their value because of their great reliability, dependability, sleek looks, and great gas mileage. This will make someone a great vehicle under the $7500.00 Category. You must drive it before you decide to buy anything cheaper, especially if you are comparing Acura to Acura or to another Import Brand of vehicle.
