My mom bought it for me because she wants her truck back.. She got a really good deal on it, £3800! It's a red 2004 Acura TL with beige interior, clean title and it doesn't have any reported accidents and it's been all highway driven! I don't really like the color of it, seeing as it's red and I don't tend to go for anything other than black, silver, dark gray or white BUT it's a free car in good condition that looks excellent.

It has:
3.2 liter 6-cylinder engine
automatic transmission
6-disc satelite navigation system
heated, power leather seats
sunroof
alloy wheels


The reason it was so cheap.. it's got almost 185,000 miles on it, a few dents (no rust) and it needs a timing belt (my friend will do it for a 24 if I provide the parts!)

Xenon headlights!

Power sunroof!

Pretty clean for almost 200k on it!

A pretty decent car! £3800 is pretty cheap, but seeing as you're from the US you might experience different kinds of bargains :P Looks in good condition, other than the minor dents you mentioned. :)

it's roughly $6000, which is very good for the vehicle seeing as they go for 10,000+ elsewhere. My mom got it from somebody who was getting a new car and just wanted to sell it as is without doing work to it.

Wow, $6,000 for a 185k car seems pretty expensive..but like that might just be me, it may actually be cheap. Either way I like the car, it looks nice.

I love honda's, defo the best and most reliable car. My Honda is 10 years older then yours (less mileage may I add) but around the same price. So you got a pretty good deal mate! I must say i love the interior.

Not a genius with cars and I don't know much about them but it looks warm and cosy. Hopefully I'll get a car like that next year, good price as well.

Not a bad little car. Isn't a 'power sunroof' standard though? :P

The interior looks nice, slightly worn but I do like the style!

I'm so used to sunroofs it feels odd being in a vehicle without one now.. AS for a Civic or a teg, I like my V6's... it's been an adjustment going from 8 cylinders to 6.. I don't think I could do 4!

Reliable - but when they go they go big time. Like most Japanese cars.

Myself I would be a little worried about it having all those miles, I'd get my dad to rebuild the engine for me or something. :P

the 3.2 makes almost 260hp.. I'm not looking for off the line power, the TL will suffice for that.. I'm looking for passing power on the highway.

a dc2 has plenty of passing power... ull notice when you try to overtake one and he boots it :D
