My 1999 Acura TL now has 188,xxx trouble free miles on the clock.
Technically there is nothing wrong with it, just tired.
If I were to keep it she would need struts, brakes, tires, and a freshen up on the front suspension.
Front tie rod ends have corroded apart here in Ohio. Bushing cracked, mounts soft, etc.
Almost time for timing belt #3.

So I want to consider a new to me used daily driver.
I have 3 young kids and drive 35 straight miles each way to work
The wife drives and Odyssey and I have a 1988 911 for weekend fun.
The obvious idea of another Honda/Acura sounds rather bland, but is not out of the question.

Looking for fresh ideas. Have looked for a 2005 320 CDI but are finding those rare locally.
Prefer 4 door. Diesel torque intrigues me.

I know you guys have some ideas. Let them fly please.
Lets set the bar at $15,000 for the time being.
