Looking at a Acura TL in my search for a decent commuter. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/an-odd-round-of-which-car/103784/page1/
What are thoughts ?
Also the current owner said the previous owner changed the timing belt around 100k but no records. Is there a way to check to be sure it is new with out tearing everything apart?

I love the TSX and TL, particularly with the manuals. Those engines sing when you get the revs up. The TL would make a very nice commuter in that format. No idea how to check the actual age of the TB, but you should be able to pop the cover off and do a visual on it. I don't know what brand was OE (or even if there was one particular brand) but that might clue you.
If you are that far in to check the belt you might as well replace it. Worry over.
And watch out for the Brembo front brakes, Retail is $225.47 for the pads.
Thanks for all the help just picked up a 06 TL this weekend.
