2020 Acura TLX 3.5L Advance Pkg

THE RECALL COMES FIRST, BECAUSE IT SHOULD

This 2020 Acura TLX has an open manufacturer recall and we are not going to bury it at the bottom of the ad. CARFAX shows two recalls issued 11/08/2023 by Acura Canada: AM33, connecting rod bearing wear, and AM32, connecting rod bearing inspection. CARFAX states at least one still requires service. That work is performed by an authorized Acura dealer, who can confirm exactly what remains open on this VIN and what it covers, and we will help you get it scheduled. Read that, sit with it, and then decide whether to keep reading.

Here is what is on the other side of the ledger. No accidents. No damage. No structural damage. No airbag deployment. No total loss. No indication of an odometer rollback. Ten service history records with oil and filter changes documented at 4,127, 9,058, 9,619, 17,711, 28,086 and 40,509 miles, most of them alongside a maintenance inspection and a tire condition and pressure check. Four wheel alignments performed at 2,028 and again at 9,058, where the engine air filter and cabin filter were also replaced and the brakes checked. The original factory warranty is estimated to have expired.

And what you are buying is the top of the TLX line. This is the 3.5 liter V6 with the nine speed automatic and SH-AWD, Acura's Super Handling All Wheel Drive, wearing the Advance Package, which is the box you tick when you are done economizing.

The Advance Package means the ELS Studio Premium Audio System through ten speakers, which is a stereo people buy this car for. Premium perforated Milano leather. Heated AND ventilated front sport seats. Heated rear seats. A heated leather steering wheel. Driver memory for the seat and even for the climate settings. Acura Navigation with 3D View, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, AcuraLink, HomeLink, dual zone automatic climate, and a power moonroof over all of it.

The driving aids are there too: Lane Keeping Assist System, automatic high beam headlights, rain sensing wipers, auto dimming inside and outside mirrors, and front fog lights.

Now picture it. Valencia Red Pearl, which is the color that makes people look twice in a parking lot, over an Ebony interior on 19 inch Berlina Black alloy wheels. You take the long way home on Highway 224 through the vineyards because SH-AWD makes a corner feel like the car is helping you. The ELS system is doing something to a recording you thought you knew.

46,131 miles. This TLX is Archibald Certified. It passed our 100-point inspection and is backed by our 3 Month/3,000 Mile Limited Warranty covering engine, transmission and transfer case, and differential components.

Come look at it, ask us hard questions about that recall, and take it around the block. Archibald's, 6902 W Clearwater Ave in Kennewick, 509-737-1199.

A negotiable documentary service fee of $200.00 may apply to each purchase.
