2008 Acura TL Used Car Inspection (What to Look For)

In addition to this video covering the things to look for before purchasing a 2008 Acura TL, or any used vehicle for that matter, it also serves as an introduction to a series of videos I’ll be doing on this car.

This is Episode 1 of the Acura TL series.

Episode 2: https://youtu.be/PToWdPwXPcE

FYI, this information will also be applicable to 2004-2008 Acura TL’s as well as the 2003-2008 Honda Accord with the V6. It also covers some general information on performing a used car inspection on any vehicle.

In addition to the inspection, I also cover how to deal with battery terminal problems since my new TL had some issues with that. Don’t use cheap battery terminals!

  1. Eric, if you're still checking comments, I'd like to know if a 3rd gen automatic trans would fit in a 2nd gen. I have a 2000 TL and after 220,000 the trans is going out. Hard shift 1st to 2nd, and sometimes slips. Any advice would be appreciated. Would like a 2008, but my finances only allow for about $5-6K for newer car or repair. I love my 2000, everything else is still working fine so far, except heated seats, and trans.

  2. Can you make more videos on 07 08 TL I have 07TL S I've taken the hands free link I believe still getting battery drain and multiple sensors was too futuristic coming up on 86k miles sat for years 3 driving since 73k with basic maintance oil's rakes'tires ect it's the pcm ecu all computer issues I'm positive

  3. Eric that was really good, thanks so much for putting this up, it's a great help, I am to look at one this week, a 2008, will give you a chime back and give you a report, you are the tops.

  4. I got an integra for 900 bucks only problem it had was missing rear view and bumper fender was missing. The trans still works the tires and breaks still work after a year plus I think it was a good buy it also had ripped seats but the guy had covers on them but the rips weren’t as bad anyways overall I think it was a good buy of course suspension needs a good replacement

  5. great Vid, looking at a 07 Type S tomorrow… Im excited and nervous, great price but has almost 200k miles, no accidents, clean tile and has a carfax, any tips?

  6. I just found a clean 2008 thats blue paint, but it's got a peanut butter colored interior and I had to back out on the sale because I hate the interior color
