I'm currently considering trading in my 2006 Subaru Impreza outback for something with more power and amenities.
I'm torn between two cars. A 2002 Acura TL with 51k miles or a 2003 Acura CL type-s with 118k miles. The CL looks to be dealer maintained and the exterior looks better compared to the TL. Perhaps the CL was garaged? and better taken care of. Both cars are auto.
I was also reading that these cars have had some transmission problems in the past. The last thing I want to do is purchase someone elses nightmare. Just how bad is this transmission issue? The dealer told me that the TL was brought in by the previous owner and a recall was performed on the transmission. Something with the oil cooler return line or some sort.
Would you even consider purchasing a 2003 model Acura with 118k miles?
