I found this car for sale on ebay (actually, it's already been sold). To me, it looks like a Premium TL w/ a type S badge, wheels, and gauges. Am I wrong? I didn't think you could get this color combo in the States. Also, it doesn't have Type S seats.

I hope I'm right because I sent the buyer an e-mail telling him he may have been scammed.

It's probably a 2002 TL-P. 2002-2003 TL-S headlights. I see TL-P interior with type-s gauges, and those rims definitely look like they came out of a 2001-2002 CL Type S. All and all.....even if it was a TL-P, it was probably an alright deal if it was actually a 2002 TL-P.

 

There was a thread that discussed this sale a few weeks ago and it's gone now. All the discussion indicated that the deal was a fraud. People e-mailed this guy and info came back that was conflicting and with a lot of discrepancies.

Hopefully, this guy used e-bay's services that guarantee the sale. If not, I feel sorry for the guy who won.

 

Ah, good. Glad to hear it. I guess the local Acura police are on top of things.

 

Also noticed that it supposedly had a 40/60 split back seat????
NOT!!!!!!!! on our TL's..

 

the car color looks like ABP, unless its the EBP

 

I received an e-mail from the buyer. He said it is a Type-S that was a theft recovery and had the Type-S interior replaced w/ that of the Premium model. Ok. It does look like an ABP but sometimes pictures are deceiving.

 

can't tell, interior looks black in some pics and blonde in others... either way, ghetto, that sucks, I want tl-s everywhere on my car...

 

All you need is the VIN to verify one way or another whether or not it's a Type S.

 

It's an S.

VIN: 19UUA568X2A032753
Year/Make/Model: 2002 ACURA 3.2 TL TYPE-S

According to CarFax, it's had 4 owners in 2 states with only 19k miles on the odo. Sounds fishy to me.

 

geez, 4 owners for a 2002.

 

make it 5 now.

 

It would have been nice if he'd have stated 'Theft Recovery' on the listing. Alas, caveat emptor.
