Need help on purchase descision ASAP!
I'm currently looking at 99'TL, fully loaded with NAV, 129K miles, priced at 8500.00 CarFax comes up clean and no signs of damage. My main concern right now is the tranny issue I've been reading on the forum. I know Honda products run forever but I don't know enough about the type of car for a sound descision. Please help!

Well, after 129K, you probably would want to test drive it and see what the condition is in. Tranny isn't an issue, you hear about it more often because people that have problems with it will find websites and post their problems. I heard the problems with tranny was about 1.5%. You can check the condition of the tranny by test driving it and have the tranny fluid anaylze to see if there are alot of metal shaving in it.
