new member. new owner 2000 TL. problems already

[wsqwest]

Hello. I recently bought a 2000 3.2TL. Beautiful car. Navigation. White with tan leather. Clean title. But already looking like I need a new transmission. Radiator leaking. And now while driving it just turned off. Thought maybe out of gas. Gas gauge does say empty with gas light on. I put gas. Now it just turns over but does not start... HELP please?

May I also add that I only paid $2000 for the car? and that it has 229,000 miles. I found out from Acura that in 2004 the transmission was serviced for the tranny recall.

At worst, you purchased a car at a price WAY under retail, and you'll have to invest money in it to bring it up to what would be an average retail price for the car if nothing was wrong with it.

I'm not sure where to guide you here, as there are multiple issues that need a lot more information to assess, but if you won't be doing the repairs yourself, I'd suggest bringing the car to a competent mechanic to get a baseline.

Plug the leak asap.... Keep in mind that these are temporary fixes and are not meant to be substitutes for a permanent fix.. they're meant only to get you to a repair shop. Use cold weld epoxy... This is the safest and most reliable option.
