Question
I am buying a 2002 3.2 tl Acura but it has 148,000 miles on it and i am not sure if it will last long and around how many miles will it start to need work.  Also the car is in great shape and nothin seems to be worng and i am only paying $3100

Answer
3100 is a great deal for an 02 TL, make sure the transmission shifts smoothly, that seems to be the main problem for the TL. Beside the regular maintenance and timing belt needs to be done if not done so. Major service and timing belt, water pump should run around 1200 at the dealership.
