I'm sad to say I traded in my 2004 5AT TL today. Over 10 years, my TL gave me 230K trouble-free miles. I only had to do routine maintenance (never even changed the brakes!), changing fluids and tires. I only changed the timing belt once because I knew I was trading the car in when the 2nd service was due. Throughout the years, my car cost me $6502.18 for parts (including 7 sets of tires), $1907.86 for labor, and $670.14 for taxes. I sure got my money's worth, this was an awesome car!
