Traded in my 2005 FX35 Sport after more than 2 months of problems...
54k miles to date
Certified 1 Owner Carfax
Zero Accidents Reported

Turns out it had front end damage that was fixed at the previous owner's expense... here's whats been replaced in last 2 months since i've owned it.

Intelligent cruise control bc the laser was crushed...
steering wheel motor
seatbelt
drivers side seat motor
drivers side airbag
drivers side airbag pump
front end crash sensor
rack and pinion
sway bar links
pulley bearing
fuel gauge sensors cleaned

there was misc paintwork done on the car and a few odds and ends of random scratches or trim that didnt look right.

All in all i had no idea what the car had been through and what has been fixed right. the previous service records were minimally done and who knows what will break next. I complained and complained to my Acura dealer whom i bought it from and in exchange for the hardship they got me into a 2008 Acura TL technology with 35,000 miles for less money. The TL was owned by an old old lady whom never drove in the winter and never used the touch screen (she didnt know how). Either way Im pleased that I have a nice car with a 100k mile warranty and good gas mileage but i will surely miss the styling and infiniti growl on my FX. I got compliments all the time *sigh*
 
that sucks, sorry to hear that...
anyway congrats and enjoy your new (used) car :wink (2):
 
Gotta do what u gotta do man. TLs are known to be reliable so it'll drive forever. Going to hang out on iS or acurazine is your home now?
 
sorry to hear that man. often what's not on carfax comes to bite the next owner. my employer's son drives a white one, it sure looks nice.

Yes ive been monitoring acurazine for awhile now bc ive always wanted a tl type s. I originally when to my acura dealer for the TLS but fell in love with the versatile fx35, planned on pulling a boat but priorities change. love the new TL and Ill post pics after i do a few more visual mods.

Ill check in from time to time... I learned alot about these cars in 2 months and will gladly pass my knowledge onto others. Thanks again IS!
