Used 2004 Acura TL for sale near Seminole, FL

Difficult to separate the good and bad. In the end I bought the car. I think he is a generally honest guy who is trying to be fair. I don't think he'd purposely hide problems or patch up a failed car. That is of highest importance. My problem is there were a lot of issues with the car not disclosed in the listing. Check your car carefully! To his credit he disclosed the failing clear coat by sending me an excellent video before I traveled (a long way) to the dealership. Maybe inadvertently he disclosed problems with the headliner in the video. When I got there the battery was dead so he explained there was a parasitic load (still not resolved) that kills the battery in a couple days and he pointed out it had the wrong battery (which he replaced when we negotiated price). A tire was nearly flat and he noted it had a leak. If he were dishonest surely the tire would have been full and the battery charged when I showed up and he wouldn't have pointed out the wrong size battery (didn't fit tray). What I found includes: Two tires were good and two have almost no tread. The key fob remote doesn't work and when I bought and installed a new battery it still didn't. Since buying it I've gotten two estimates for fob replacement of $700 and $410. Hopefully I'll find one a little lower. I've also found the wiper blades need replaced, interior lights by the rear-view mirror don't work, and a film on the rear window (rear defroster I believe) is all bubbled and also not clear where unbubbled. Other than snow on the car when I test drove, I'm not sure how I missed this last one. Finally, there is an undisclosed admin fee of $500. He said nobody in NC discloses this on web listings. Maybe but it doesn't make it right.

The last car I owned- a silver 2004 TL. I traded in my 1993 Vigor (after 11 years of Japanese car excellence- no issues or problems ever) for it and was instantly enamored. Looked great, handled beautifully, an absolute pleasure to drive. Gas prices were still reasonable in the mid-00’s and gas mileage was reasonable. I finally had to (very begrudgingly) sell it after 3 years as the combination of car payment, insurance and garage parking in downtown Philadelphia began exceeding $1,000/month. The model I had is now hard to believe 20 years old, but if given the opportunity I’d take it back in a second.

I am writing ANOTHER review for Trend Auto since I continue to use them for maintenance issues regarding my used Toyota Sienna that I purchased from them years ago. I have had several issues pop up through the years regarding my van and not only have they resolved each and every problem, they did so in a very reasonably priced and expedient manner. I cannot say enough good things about Trend Auto. I would not even consider going elsewhere. I trust these guys 100% and KEVIN IS FABULOUS! He is honest, fair and trust worthy. They all are an absolute pleasure to work with as I have never had one negative interaction with anyone there. In the past, I have bought many vehicles from various dealerships and I can tell you that Trend Auto is the best!!! I cannot recommend their top notch service highly enough. They are excellent!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I bought my TL back in 2013 used. One of the most reliable vehicles I've ever owned. I have just over 246k miles on her now. The navigation system sucks. I had it repaired once and when it went out the second time, I just gave up. A bit difficult to get in and out of. Love the styling, performance and comfort. I'm retiring in Dec of 2023 and will be selling her.

I had to get a car in one day. A terrible pinch for the dealership. They rose to the occasion with kindness and honesty and had me out-the-door with a great deal before 2pm. Thanks especially to Delane Sheppard and Levi Durst. You guys made a difficult day easy!

I purchased my '04 TL (6-MT transmission) in October, 2004. It has been a remarkable car, virtually problem-free. I've driven it 190,000 miles: all it has needed was: timing belt (x2); front and rear brake calipers/rotors, alternator. I replaced the water pump when they needed to replace the alternator. It has 99% of it's engine power. There is ZERO vibration from the engine. The A/C blows ice cold! A few things have developed into problems: Bluetooth connection no longer works; sat/nav is problematic on very hot days (DVR issue? Dashboard has some cracks in the vinyl. Radio speakers sound weak and tinny on cold days (once car warms up, radio sound strengthens). A/C/defroster/ventilator diverter needed replacement. I'm told my six-speed manual transmission probably has between 40,000 - 75,000 miles remaining before it might fail (that would be failing at anywhere between 230,000 to 300,000 miles)...leather interior is quite good...almost excellent, drives straight, goes like heck if you push it (it still CAN do 0-60 in under six seconds!)...I've owned over seven cars since 1970 and it's the best car I've ever owned. I've probably spent $13,000 in repairs and maintenance since I've owned it (I park it in an indoor garage in NYC). That's about $50,000 (purchase price + maintenance costs) over 20 years, or $2,500/year or just about $200/month. NYC roads have winter potholes, so I've purchased 11 rims over 20 years. I use winter tires in winter and ONLY ONCE was not able to proceed UP a steep mountain road with snow/ice at 30 degrees F. It's traction system works magnificently and it goes in snow when other cars cannot! It still gets between 31-34 mpg (highway) depending on temperature (summer: 31 mpg highway, winter 34 mpg highway (averaging around 26-27 mpg combination city/hwy)..The car is in excellent condition with maybe a tiny one-inch dent in the upper R fender and one tiny 1/8th-inch mark on the rear bumper. Everyone says it looks showroom new, as I've kept it clean and waxed and never allowed anyone to eat/drink it it (no kids or pets) so when I park it it shines and looks really nice. I get offers to sell it all the time!

Aiden is alway smiling and pleasant and is always willing to do whatever is necessary to provide excellent service. A Great asset to your Team!

Fast. Reliable. Low maintenance. Everything you need. Only reason why I sold mine was my wife got a new car. They don't make them like they used to.

I wanted to give a shout out to Ruben staff member at Hayes auto dealership felt like his customer service was impeccable. He even dropped off the vehicle to accommodate my crazy work schedule. He went out of his way from when we first interacted over the phone. He kept me up-to-date and sent me Pictures and videos of The vehicles on the lot. He then walked me through the paperwork and even followed up with me afterwards to make sure that I was Satisfied with my choice. Thank you for your quickness and efficiency.

It is is great condition for a 2004 Acura TL, shortly modern style and a great / powerful engine. It still has many year of low maintenance ahead.

Left the Bay Area to find a good deal in Roseville and found a great one on a 2016 Honda Civic! From 12-5, I spent so much time talking to these sincerely nice guys, Murray, Ronnie, Miguel, the guy at the mid-range and affordable lot, and the finance guy. You can just tell there’s a business here that is run well where everyone respects each other and then treats the customer with kindness and respect. I test drove 4 cars in the roasting heat but finally bought one that I love. And didn’t break the bank. Thank you for the wonderful service today guys!!!!

Straight to the point they worked with us on getting us a great deal the car has a nice ride and I'm happy with the process and my purchase ☺️

Extremely professional, friendly and transparent. I highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a reputable dealership that will treat you well. Both sales and service are the absolute best!

Very nice, friendly and knowledgable. Much more than any other dealer we have ever been to! Finance director made paperwork easy to understand with her pleasant personality!

I bought a bmw 6 years ago from these guys. I loved my car unfortunately recently I got into a car accident so I contacted Lsm cars again and they put me into the exact same bmw which worked out for me for the past 6 Years. I Trust these guys they treat me like family everytime. I am very very happy with them and my new purchase.
