I also have an Acura 3.2 TL but bought their SUV this week and just wanted to share my excitement (minus the fact that I've got a new car loan!!)....

It's got the 3rd row... which was my requirement. With having 3 kids it was hard when one of them had a friend over. Even though my husband has an Expedition... he's a plumber and it's not exactly the cleanest thing to ride in if you want your clothes to look spiffy when you arrive somewhere! :shhh:

Wow! I thought it looked like it had a 3rd row but I figured no way could a car that size have a 3rd row. Very nice.

Very nice. However, it is this kind of activity that has gotten so many Americans, and our country for that matter, in so much trouble.
It's the same kind of money management policy that Obama is using... The US economy has some very real problems. And those problems are largely due to spending more money than the nation has. Obama's answer: go even deeper into debt than we already are so we can finance a lifestyle we can not afford.
While I would like to congratulate you on such a fine machine, taking on new debt is only going to prolong our economic woes, both on a personal and a national level.
Good luck.

On the contrary, my other two are paid for and my note is only $398... I don't know how people manage those $500-800 car notes myself.

Very nice looking vehicle. And made by Honda too! Hondas and Toyotas are the world's most reliable vehicles, particularly when their VINs begin with a "J".
JT = Toyota made in Japan
JH = Honda made in Japan
Even Toyota and Hondas made in America are excellent. That's because they're not made by mischievous and disgruntled UAW people.

Oh I've owned my share of American cars... GM, Chevy, Chrysler, etc... and I lost my ass on them. It's sad when you have to say that you can't afford to buy American b/c even the original dealerships don't want to give you anything for it when you're ready to trade in and upgrade. I've never owned one where I wasn't upside down....

Thanks! I got such a great deal b/c I bought a 'Certified'. I bought my TL as one too and it's like having a new car warranty... plus b/f it can be certified they have to replace a ton of stuff on it and it has to meet all kinds of conditions. You can't go wrong getting a 'Certified'!!:dance:

Trade in to a dealership is generally a losing proposition for the consumer.
Congrats on the new car.

Five; there's no third row. (that's available in the next one up---can't remember the name) I don't need the extra though. It's just me and occasionally my daughter and her little one. I bought it back when I was travel nursing so I'd have room for my stuff lol. (the swing out back door is nice)
