Why?
There are things you should consider when buying such vehicles
The fuel efficiency
The availability of part
And also very important is It 2nd hand value
That's if you wanna resell it later
So think about it well

A 2013 TL is a mighty good car. It's more nimble and fun to drive than a Lexus GS. Yes, you can own it as a first timer, just ensure you maintain it using good quality parts and fluids, use veery reputable petrol station and if need be, get some octane booster.


Tip: Get the unit with the SH-AWD, it's way fun to drive than a Mercedes C Klasse or a Lexus GS and it's very reliable cos it's from Acura the Honda luxury division.

Acura means luxury..just like lexus and its all controlled by sensors. A v6 on naija Road.well just pray u achieve 18mpg on city,which I doubt,ud be getting around 13mpg or 15mpg with naoja fake fuel. in 1 year complete ud spend almost 3m fuelling and u see all the parts on the vehicle are highly priced and inflated by obedients.dem hit your bumper.na 100k.dem break your headlights,na 200k,dem damage your side mirror.na 80k. U sef go humble.

That vehicle is luxury redefined. Parts are also very very available. The person that called it container may not even have entered into it as a enger let alone driving one.

Honda and Acura aren't cheap in the market. They're expensive even as used cars especially when we'll maintained.

Just avoid the 3.7L sh-AWD.

The FWD 3.5L with Tech Package is the sweet spot šŸ™‚

If I were in shoes I would buy it over and again. Honda and Acura cars are sweet rides with amazing driving experience. There is no car with cheap parts this days especially the Toyota brands.

Thanks for the advice, sir

I hope you take the advise of those who have given you the go ahead to purchase the car.

That car is a plane on wheels. Performance + Luxury + Tech + design + sport = ACURA TL.

My only advice: if you have a terrible maintenance culture or you plan to cut corners when it comes to repairs, please don't bother buying it because you will regret it. That car is a car and not a Camry that you can mess around with. The parts and experience mechanics are readily available and not even as expensive as the Toyota counterparts, so you have nothing to worry about.

I hope you make the right choice.

What’s wrong with the 3.7L SH-AWD variant? I’ve had one for about 2 years..and it has never given me any problems.

Nothing is wrong per say but…

That engine has all tendency to burn oil. The 3.5 don’t
For the average driver, an AWD system is more complex, expensive to maintain, heavier, less fuel efficient
Except you ā€œspecifically need the AWD for whatever reasonā€, the FWD 3.5L is powerful, fun, less complex and with the technology package, delivers similar experience.

Lastly, The Nigerian used of that car is mostly in terrible shape. Can hardly find one that was well kept.

Trust me…the experience isn’t similar. I first got the 3.5L FWD with the technology package…used it for a couple of months, sold it…and went for the 3.7L SH-AWD.
Also, if you wanna buy the Nigerian used…make sure you buy from a middle aged Honda enthusiast.

This car is a fantastic car . You will enjoy it I promise you .

Pls don't listen to the "2nd hand value" Toyota bandwagon .

Not everybody buys cars to sell.
