Thinking about buying a used 2007 TL with 50k miles and was curious to see if anybody here have any experience with Acuras and can attest to their reliability. Thanks!

It's a Honda? That should be all you need to know about it's reliability.
About as reliable as posters not knowing how to find the garage...2007 Acura TL - how reliable?

You could get a brand new Altima V6 for very, very close to that price if you shop a little.I can get a 2007 TL base with 50k for 22k out the door. Trying to figure if this would last me a while or if I should look into a used V6 Camry or Maxima.
did they ever fix the autotragic transmission in these things?
After the autotragic fiascos of the 2001-2004 5 speed auto tls, they improved the oil flow of the 3rd gear clutch packs of the 2005-2006. Finally in 2007, the 5 speed auto was re-designed with a 3 shaft arrangement (the prior 2 shaft arrangement was the culprit as the 3rd gear clutch pack was the furthest away from the oil pump - so it constantly starved out of oil, until the oil jet recall was done. By going 3 shaft, the clutch packs are much closer now to the oil pump). AFAIK, the 07-on 3 shaft 5 speed autos have been bulletproof without any widespread failures. I would change the tranny oil every 30k miles instead if what the manual says at about 60k. Always use genuine Honda ATF too, it doesn't like other brands too much.

They also look WORLDS better than the current Acura crap.
Sorry didn't realize there was a garage forum now.

For that money, I'd shop around for a new/newer car. The car depreciated, 30% in 6 years?
I have a 2007 BMW 550i that I couldn't sell for 22k. The used car market is broken
I was looking at 08 TLs last February with less miles for around 22-23k. Price seems high.

Is there a better buy for a 20k price range?

Very reliable.You could get a brand new Altima V6 for very, very close to that price if you shop a little.
I'm trying to get a combination of reliable with a fun drive. Not sure what's the best bang for the buck. I've been looking at 2007-2011 Camry V6 SEs but they also sell for a premium.
