Exchange coupe acura TL

[tophane]

Hi
Iam from europe and i have a 2000 v6 coupe.
I saw here an 1999 acura tl, which was imported as a new car from the states. it has around 100k kilometers, looks good, i didnt made yet a test drive, maybe this weekend.

Now should i do it? or leave it? the Acura tl is unique here i think.
But does it take lot of more fuel?

thanks for help.

Acura TL's are great cars, but personally I'd go for the v6 manual version for best ride =)

 

[tophane]

yes v6 manual version would be great, but i dont have choices here..
if somebody have experience with 99' tl's please tell me.

 

[Dolebag]

Lol, I do whats your questions? Its a very nice luxurious feeling car, very comfortable, and more reliable than you'll ever need =)

 

[tophane]

are you serious?
Does it take more ful then de coupe v6. What about detail. specification? that one i saw was the first facelifted tl with 4gear automatic transmission.

Is the something that i should check on this model? like rust, or oilloss or so? thanks for youre reply

The tl uses a 3.2 liter v6 vs your 3.0 liter, so it will get about the same, maybe a bit less, but it wouldn't be much of a difference. The 1999 tl uses the same 4 speed automatic that your accord has, there is no manual transmission for the 2 gen tl.

thank you for the information, can someone give me also info about options, have i also some possibility to customize a little bit, not lot just few optical things or so.

sorry for my bad english

Pretty much everything you would have done to your Accord, you can do to a 1999 TL.

If you're feeling adventurous, check out www.Acurazine.com. There are a lot of 2ndgen TL's like the one you are looking at on there that have been modified.

Your English isn't tooo bad, it's actually better than some of the Americans on here.

Since the car has been imported would there be any extra taxes on it? That would be the biggest thing to find out before looking to modify anything. Find out how it would be registered (if it is any different at all)

thank you for the reply and link's.

car is registered, it was imported as a new car. it was owned by a garage, no additional taxes or so. modification is not soo important. i just want to individualize a bit, i imported also us taillights with red turn signal its unique here.
