http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/cto/3871100498.html

Wish there was a way to aid people in their due diligence so they can avoid misleading advertising such as this. Most people looking for a TL know that the type-S model was only made in 07-08 for third gen.

I feel like the opposite would be true for the average car shopper IMO. I can't see the ad since craigslist is blocked at my work but it's a shame the seller is trying to pull this crap.

You're probably right. For someone that is shopping for a TL type-s, they would know right away. For someone just shopping for a TL, they would be easily fooled.

Ha!

I guess this part is sort of true

Not many 2004 acura tl were made type s
Technically none is 'not many' right?

The car needs as A-Spec badge too, then it would be even rarer!

It would be even funnier, albeit sad, if this guy bought the car from the original owner thinking that it was a type-s that he bought.
