Going into the waaay back machine for a moment.

This 07 Acura TL-S is for sale at KBB pricing - asking $8,300

Garaged most of it's life (recently it got kicked out)
A-Spec wheels and body kit (front, sides and rear plus deck lid spoiler)
Brembo brakes
auto with paddles
black and silver leather interior
CAI gets 31 mpg on highway (honest!)
165K miles, mostly highway as I travel for work, live in the country no city driving
Oil changes every 3K with syn
Timing chain at 105K
DD not my beat on car, have the S for that
minor chips in paint etc, it's not perfect and reflects almost daily use since 07

Great car, I had an '06 base 6MT for a few years. I still miss it sometimes, when I'm driving my truck around. GLWS

07 and 08 TL-type s's are the best TL's produced to date in my book. I worked at Acura for almost 9 years and those were some of the most trouble free cars we had. They drive smooth, handle great, and have power to boot. You've got yourself a great car.

worked for Acura for 12 years, always wanted one, then i bought one CPO. I had a 08 Type-S Auto. Decent car at best. The only reason i got rid of mine was the excessive wind noise i didnt notice on the initial test drive. Anything over 45mph sounded like a door was ajar. Traded it in after 8 months of ownership. I really miss the power/comfort of a car like that, but that wind noise killed me. Not all had this issue. Nobody could pinpoint the origin.

Very quiet car... so much so I was really choosy about tires because I'd hear tire noise over everything else.

Detailed the car yesterday, parked it on the lawn late last night and had 8 calls and texts on it already. Would love to see it go to someone in metro...

Oh man! I love this car! Send me the for sale page, or maybe I'll just roll past your house...

I'll alert the guard, check in with him at the guest house. He'll pick you up in a golf cart and take you to the lawn. No donuts please.
