Used Acura TL for sale near Des Plaines, IL

This is a mid size car with plenty of room with Comfort, Style, Power & the reliability of a Acura. One of the best cars I ever owned.

They made buying a vehicle a fast and smooth experience. Mia was great to work with and knowledgeable. I like that they update their inventory on the website daily and that the details are accurate.

Purchased 6/21 with 200K miles. Put another 20K miles on it since. Interior/Exterior are immaculate. 6 speed manual shifts smoother that any car I've owned. In almost 50 years of driving, I have never owned a car that was this comfortable, fun to drive "spiritedly" and almost bulletproof reliable. It really is everything I could possibly ask from an under $10K car and then some. Needless to say, with any high mileage, 10 year old car, it did require some servicing and maintenance to get it back to a "close to like new" condition. Changed all fluids, spark plugs, filters and brake pads/rotors. Replaced entire suspension, since it was all original. Will be replacing the timing belt/water pump soon, only because I have no idea on when they were last replaced. The only downside is that burns little over half a quart of oil every 1K miles. Supposedly, that is an issue with the Acura 3.7l motors, due to the unique cylinder sleeves. Still, compression and leak down test numbers are within spec. For such a high mileage engine, I'm not complaining. One thing I know for sure, my estate will have to deal with this car because I will never sell it. PERIOD!

I had a great experience buying a car with Dave. He was helpful and honest. Highly recommend!

I bought the AWD version new in 2010. At this time, Christmas Day 2025, I am almost 16 years in with it, now about 110k miles. I had a computer chip die a month or two after warranty expired. Acura split it with me. Other than that, trouble free! Both times that I thought I had an electrical problem, it was just the battery dying. This car is amazing!

They responded to my questions right away and followed up with. When did I want to test drive? The vehicle I did change my mind about the car and informed them of my decision so they were just fine. Thank you very much.

Is a good car to go to work is really comfortable is good in the snow I never had an issue I will buy another one

One of the best thing I ever experienced great customer service highly recommended. Dan and Joe was amazing

I bought my 2013 ACURA TL Special Edition new with 25 miles (I test drove it with 5 miles). I have taken care of that baby since day one. It's been garaged; well-maintained (oil changes; tires replaced; battery replaced). Just turned 77,000 miles today! I am selling mine only because I need an SUV. I wish I could keep it as my second car.

I recently upgraded to a Genesis GV70 and it was an amazing experience. The sales team was patient, kind, and great to work with. I left with exactly what I wanted.

Bought this car brand new in 2005. Followed regularly recommended maintenance, and I have had zero issues. Style, drive handling, comfort, safety, and most importantly, reliability. Simply, an excellent vehicle.

Had a great experience thanks to Zee. He got us on a test drive quickly and was never pushy. Much appreciated.

This was my first car. It is worth keeping in mind my sister took care of the car and did all the maintenance before handing it over to me. In my one year owning this the most important thing to know is that this car stands out. Parked in my schools parking garage it noticeably stands out compared to all the newer cars there but to me that’s what makes it unique. Its interior looks better than some newer cars. It has features that some 2025 cars don’t even have. Audio is good. Exterior paint isn’t the best when it comes to wear and tear but its manageable. Its quick off the line. I love it when it comes to taking off from red lights. Its not fast if you’re an enthusiast but for the average person its got enough power to make commuting fun. My only drawback is gas mileage. Its not great. I usually have to get gas one a week or once every 2 weeks. Also this is a full size sedan. So parking in tight spaces is a bit of a challenge because the hood is quite long. Seats aren’t the most comfortable on long drives either. They’re pretty stiff so my butt gets numb while doordashing. Other than that this is an amazing car

Absolutely one-of-a-kind I will recommend anyone to drive it or buy one beautiful car comfortable and Spacey roomy I like the car myself I recommend anyone to have one

Super professional and great staff, would recommend to everyone and anyone! Would come here again!

This is hands down the best Acura TL! My first one was the base model which is FWD with a 3.5 L engine, but the SH-AWD Technology package with the 3.7L is a beast and super fun to drive! A very reliable car, with little to no issues at all. Hot collectors car for enthusiasts who are not a fan of the new TLX. 100% recommend!

I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti QX30 and had the pleasure of working with Ali Abdulla. From the moment we connected, Ali’s positive attitude and professionalism stood out. He was incredibly helpful and took the time to answer all my questions with confidence and care. His knowledge about the vehicle and the process was impressive, and he truly went the extra mile to make sure I got the right deal that worked for me. I never felt pressured—just supported. If you’re looking for someone who is genuinely committed to helping you, I highly recommend asking for Ali. Outstanding service from start to finish!

The handling and power of an all wheel drive manual, (SH-AWD), makes this car the most enjoyable ride I've ever owned. Sadly manual is almost extinct these days. Don't ever dare sell her because I may never experience a quality ride that the newer cars don't seem to deliver for the price.

I visited to look at a 2013 Sonata and ultimately decided to buy a 2022 Palisade for my whole family. I am impressed by the courtesy and service they offer. It is on another level. I will strongly recommend them to any friends or family members. This is their new location, and the staff, vehicle selection, and prices are excellent.

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.

Nice xars -nice service-Okay prices.the cars were clean.to me some were over priced

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.

Pleasant buying experience, good location, salesman answered all my questions. They had good inventory of products.

Easy to drive, reliable, good gas mileage, sporty, fun to drive, looks good. Would definitely buy the exact same model again if this car even ever dies

I recently purchased a car from this dealership and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. The buying process was incredibly smooth, and everything was explained to me clearly at every step. I really appreciated how patient and professional the team was, making sure I understood all the details without ever feeling rushed or pressured. What truly stood out was the excellent level of customer service. From the moment I made my initial inquiry until the day I drove the car away, the staff were friendly, helpful, and very attentive. They took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I felt comfortable and confident with my purchase. The car was very fairly priced compared to others I had seen, and it has been running perfectly since the day I got it. Overall, I’m extremely happy with my purchase and grateful for such a positive buying experience. I would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a reliable car and great customer service.

Bought car new May of 2015. We change the oil every 3000 miles and maintain any problem. We now have 278,000 miles on it and it still runs strong and smooth on the highway ( just drove 1000 miles to Ft. Myers) at 80 mph.

Never did get a final bottom line number that I asked for in the beginning.

I received my 2013 TL in 2017 with 25000 miles on it now it’s got 93000 miles on it in 2023 and runs and looks as good as it did in 2018 great used cars 🚗 love my TL . Only problem I had with mine is charging the battery replaced brakes. New tires 🛞 normal maintenance. Best used car till this day 👍

Service was great, but associates were great, facility was clean, fresh ground free coffee was yummy, everything was wonderful, why does review have to be 25 words

I purchase my 2010 TL brand new in June of 2010 fully loaded. It was my first new car purchase. I drove it right off of the show room floor with 8 miles on the odometer. At present (Dec. 2022) it has just over 60,000 miles on it. Just three weeks after my purchase I had to return to the dealership because the car would veer to the left hard. They checked it out and couldn't find what the problem was so they replaced the left front strut to see if that would fix the problem, it did not, too this day (Dec. 2022) it still pulls/veers to the left even with several sets of new tires (Michelins) on it. The handling has been sloppy at best. Its somewhat tiring driving it long distances hence the low millage on it at present. Although I've had it back at Acura for all of its services they still can't tell me why this is happening they've even performed several alignments on the car. There was a recall on a computer chip in the transmission that was causing the engine to rattle, the chip was replaced under warranty but the rattling still manifests at times. The car goes through batteries like crazy in fact one year after I purchased the car the battery went bad and was replaced under warranty since then I've had several Acura batteries installed (just had one install this month Dec.2022). Once major problem I've had is with the oil engine light. It comes on even when the engine oil is full I've learned how to reset the light and had it check by Acura they had no answer for the problem but recommended and I had replaced the Oil Pressure Switch at a cost of $289.85 the problem still exist to date. I had the timing belt replaced and was told by Acura that the oil pump was leaking so they replaced the Spool Valve/O-Ring etc. as well for 600.00 was told by the technician that it would have been over an 800.00 cost had they not saw it when they did. I could go on and on. Bottom line this car has not been cheap to maintain for example along with the timing belt replacement and the oil leak was a cost of $1753.14 in 2019 the car only had 43,595 miles on the odometer. As to the ride, it rides very stiff/hard firm but smooth. I felled to mention that the outside mirrors shakes when you shut the door Acura refused to do anything about it because they stated that's the nature of the car. By now, you may be asking why I'm still driving this car....IT'S PAID FOR! lol. All in all it does most things well, good stereo, pretty quiet ride, roomy, 5 star rating (safe) and somewhat reliable. It's a good first car when brought second hand as long as the car has been taken care of. I must state that the SH/Awd is excellent I have never gotten stuck in the winter weather. At last, I just found out (Dec. 2022) that the navigation system will not be able to be ungraded after 2021 because the upgrade CD's are being discontinued. Hope this review helps someone thinking about purchasing this car used.

Fantastic experience with service team member Harley. She helped me with a windshield replacement that I didn't even know was covered by the warranty. Other Dealerships would not have done research to cover it. Appreciate your help Harley!!

I drive this thing hard as xxxx! It’s never left me stranded, never had anything break besides the APP sensor, and it gets 31 miles per gallon on the highway. Mine isn’t stock but I beat a Challenger R/T in a race and the car stock maybe has 30 less horsepower. It’s very quick for the size and what it is.

Fantastic service! Polite knowledgeable individuals who get you in and out of the Quick Lane shop as soon as possible!

This was my first car that I bought used in 2022 at 120K miles I have since added another 10K within a year. Be mindful that while this car is "higer-performing" it also comes with higher maintenance costs. Don't be fooled by "its a Honda, it lasts forever needing nothing", but also don't be alarmed as it can be your bargaining chip when buying. Upon purchase of the vehicle I checked for several things that are known to go out for this model given the mileage/age. They are the following: Disconnecting bluetooth receiver ----Known to go bad and drain the battery overnight. Lower Arm Control Bushings ----If torn/rotting, car sways excessively when turning, accelerating or braking hard. Timing belt + tensioner ----Failure to do so at specified time/mileage interval risks destroying the engine. Water pump ----Done during timing belt work, replace if leaking as its cheaper in the long run. Oil pump seal ----Very common on higher mileage TLs, dirt cheap part but high labour cost to fix. Rear sway bar links ----Rear end skids out during quick tight turns. All 3 engine mounts ----The V6 puts more strain/wear on them leading to vibration felt in steering wheel during idle while stopped. Lower ball joints. *Super critical* ----Failure causes the wheel to pop out and risks totalling the vehicle when moving at speed. In 2023+ if you're going for a 3G TL expect to do almost all of this if the previous owner has not done them recently. The auto transmissions should also have a 3x3 drain/fill if not previously done along with new 3 & 4 pressure switches and the filter.(Acurazine has many posts on why this is needed). Simply put failure to do so risks burning out and totalling the transmission. The autos are sufficiently reliable *if* fully maintained. The labour cost alone for all the work above can be more than half the vehicles value. Doing the work yourself cuts down the cost by like 70% + you gain the confidence, knowledge and experience of working on your own car. On top of all of this it *needs* 91 Premium gas (Costco is your friend). Not only will your mpg be lower but if the previous owners did not follow this guideline, you are inheriting premature engine failure. The knock sensor cannot prevent pre-ignition. Pre-ignition will wear out the crankshaft bearings on top of carboning the oil control rings leading to oil consumption. This dramatically decreases the life of the engine. Cosmetically at this age/mileage you'll be lucky to get seats that are not torn, mirrors that are not burnt and a dash that isn't cracked. (I was that lucky person). These are well known worn-out items for high-mileage TLs. The legroom to this year (2023), is still one of the greatest in its class while the bolstered leather seats are snug, comfy and smooth to slide into (If properly conditioned). Acura puts on a heavier paint coat on its vehicles compared to Honda. If the paint is peeling/faded its a sign the vehicle spent its entire life outdoors (expect external rubber parts to be worn out too). With just some polish and wax mine looked like it just left the factory. All being said, the 3G TL offers a very smooth power curve and the double wishbone (while stiff over rough roads) is most noticeable on tight curves and quick lane changes. When you punch it, V-Tec combined with the Intake resonators make the engine audibly come alive, it always puts a smile to my face. The UA6 TL is effortless on the highway, where it truly belongs. It's an excellent highway commuter/cruiser, routinely yielding over 32mpg. However if you tend to be stuck in stop & go/ city traffic expect under 20mpg. I intend on keeping her another 100K miles. Beware the initial purchase once-and-done maintenance costs and the high-octane gas. Push through that and you'll be rewarded with a great reliable vehicle that truly doesn't need anything more.

Chris Reis was very helpful and knowledgeable about the differences between the CX-5 and CX-50 Hybrid and made my trade-in an efficient experience.

This car has been very reliable with few problems in the 13 years I have owned it. I have kept it maintained on schedule and it has served me well
