[@alphawolffe4175]

@@JonDoe-wy1srI just bought mine today and it's very nice. Hopefully it all works out. I bought it from a private seller and I even brought my mechanic. He said the car was really good and that I got lucky so hopefully the car stays good for a while or a few years. I also got it with 74k miles.

[@gav2159]

I found a fully loaded 2015 TLX for $13,000 it had two owners 160,000 miles but I needed a car because I totaled my 16 maxima so I said fuck it and I bought it go to pick it up. It has all the owners manuals, both rubber and carpet floor mats a thick ass binder of service records both keys and the original TLX keychain as well as the TLX CDs still in its packaging

Congrats!

If u have trouble with transmission u can rest transmission and it runs much smother and wont jerk

@@bigboyindaho0d Solid so far. Replaced the battery recently which was the stock battery. One of the interior bulbs went out but too lazy to replace lol. Other than those, no major problems at all. Never stranded me on the side of the road and been pretty reliable so far.

Hey, did you ever get the transmission checked out by your dealer? Did they do the software update?

No software update, didn't wanna mess with it, I sold it at auction with the issue noted

Just purchased a 2015 tlx advance a few weeks ago.... what's the issues with your transmission?

[@tonyyang3725]

Is yours v6? I've planning to get one but people been saying how the 9 speed transmission has issues with jerkiness and stuff. Do you experience that?

[@damianlou9617]

Sometimes I feel a slight jerk between 2-3 but not always present

[@brandenkemp550]

@@damianlou9617 Hey, I have a 2015 V6 3.5(74,XXX miles) and face the same issue. Some gears are smooth as butter and others give a little kick. I did some research and they made mention of some gears being dog clutch's. Those are the ones that seem to give me the kick when shifting. Other than that though car is pretty nice.

[@pacific322]

@@tonyyang3725 I purchased a 2016 TLX V-6. A transmission code came on while on the highway. This was just over a month after I got it. It was still driveable. Took it straight to the Acura dealer and the tech said it just needed an update. 2 months later and no problems since then.

[@OperatorGhostShadow]

I have the same 2015 tlx but I don’t see any issue in the transmission at all and I’m currently at 49k. Bought the car last year at 42k miles

[@amarlianderson795]

Would you get this or 2015 q50? Debating on this or a older Lexus

[@BenJS2]

Q50 all the way... But Q50 is a little more expensive so I might have to get this... I am considering this, Q50 or GS350, I want a luxury sedan that's relatively reliable so that's why I am not considering the Germans and I want a car that is in the 5 second range

[@RobertZ1973]

@@BenJS2 TLX 3.5 is in the mid 5 second range and more reliable than the Q50 plagued with turbo and transmission issues... never mind stomps it in fuel economy as well.

So this is direct injection engine (on v6) only? And takes premium gas only?

[@rodgercastro9607]

I can't say I've owned an Acura but 12k sounds pretty expensive for a car with that many miles on it but it all depends on how well the previous owners took care of it.

Not at all that's super pricey

yeah just get the loan for like $17k instead of $12k just in case it needs motor or transmission fix. you're welcome
