Should i buy a 2004 Acura TLS?

[Parth]

I have found a well maintained 2004 Acura TLS with 150,000 miles on it and am thinking of buying it, now i have also heard of all the problems associated with the transmission and how if it were to fail it would cost me a lot of money. so is it worth it to buy this car? the owner took care of it and is selling it for $5000. i took it for a test drive and it seemed fine but i don't want it to break on me. So do you guys think it is a good idea for me to buy this thing?

You mean TL S-type.
Not without taking the vehicle to a certified technician for a "Used Vehicle Inspection" This is where the vehicle is completely inspected from bumper to bumper.
The Technician/Shop will advise you on any potential problems, repairs needed, and if it was properly maintained and if it is worth buying!

NOTE: The cost for this service is normally 1 hour labor (about $100) this may be the best money you ever spent.
Another problem on this vehicle (aside from the transmission) is failure of the Power Steering pump feed hose.

To many miles look for something else with less mileage.
