thanks i am definitly going to work on that price.. ive been looking for a black one with tan int for about 3 weeks now.. i found decent ones or regular tl non type s.. she really wants tan int.. theres a lot of silvers she dosnt want that and whites dosnt like the color.. so black is a winner..any oil leaks i should look for in certain spots.. what gear do the trannys maily messup on or slip.. or do they just go bad car dosnt move?

Im not sure about that i only have 65k on mine when i bought it i had 63k got it in september. Yea listen for the belts and look to see if any oil is dripping. White those are the best colors WDP! I was looking for a TL for about a month and finally i called my dealership and they said lets see if we can find one and they did. Thats how mine came stock with those ugly rims LOL!

I'm a thrill seeker in my
That looks so mint, and with some tasteful worthwhile mods. Tranny has already been replaced as well...You've found quite the deal there; hopefully you can get him down to a good price for you.
All the best, and if you make the deal, welcome to the forums!

Well if it is in fact a mugen you are very lucky if you are getting it for under 1k. That is the premium they are fetching.

price is a little high...but car looks really clean. I see he mounted tweeters in the doors too..looks nice.
Good that tranny has already been dealt with.
Make sure both heated seats work...one thing I didnt check on mine before purchasing.

wow, mugen wing, like the moderator said that's like $1k right there!! And sway bars springs, and intake are about $200-$300 each set (used). I'm not sure about the price for the brakes though.
It's a really sweet car and you will have a lot of fun modding it! If I were you I would buy the OEM body/lip kit (perhaps you can ask the dealer if they have it and if they will include it, if you are lucky).

he will give you blackouts? What do you mean? The films? I'm talking about painting the inside of the headlight housing.
Wow, her integra is pretty low...
and please correct me if I'm wrong, but is that a sunbeam?
