Anyone looking for a Type S KBP 6MT?

I'm currently in the search for one and came across this, but its out of my price range. Maybe someone else would appreciate it.

Acura TL Type-S 2008

It's definitely an adventure/journey finding the exact car you want. I was looking for a CBP over black 6 speed,but ultimately wound up with my NBP!

Seems like a decent amount of the KBP 6mt's have popped up recently. A couple members just got them as well.

At 66K that car is still practically new in my book, but I agree on the 20K price, its out there. I really wish there was a confirmed list showing how rare it is by the numbers. I know my buddy has a 2009.5 G8 GXP 6mt and he has 1 of 1829 total production. Out of his options, 1 in the 300s. Then again that might be a bad idea since I'm sure the price will sky rocket

Really nice looking car. But for some reason I just cannot stomach the KBP... I really don't like the color. Don't know why. Too bold for the refined TL perhaps.

KBP 6MT Type-S is defnitely one of the top demand cars imo. That is a beautiful blue and looks sick on the TL-S. Definitely would command that 20k price premium. I'm ok with having 80% of that car (06 TL) for a third of the price

I'd take a G8 GT / GXP over a TL-S anyday

Too many miles. I wanna see a one of a kind KBP 6mt Ebony Type S with less than 10k miles :-P That'll grab my attention, then again it's safe to say my current Type S will be the last 3G I ever purchase, but still cool to find those one of a kind gems.

It's pricey but someone who knows the cars rarity will pay for it; or close to it. It seems to have some nicks on the silver trim and the leather looks a little loose and may not have the TL floor mats. I think $19k is fair.

Wow, that guy is stilllll trying to sell that thing? I remember seeing that same Type S for sale a couple years ago. Awesome car that I would buy if I was in the market.

Exactly!!! He is BS'ing though because a dealer is in business to make money and by offering him near 24K trade in, they will make little to no money on that car and could take a long time to do that.

Nice car, OK price.. I bought mine from a dealer with 57K on it back in December for $18500. Although it's automatic, it's Moroccan Red Pearl which IMO is a wayyyy better color than KBP.

^^^^lol the MRP fever. I don't see any dealer offer $24k for the KBP above, the best offer he got is around $15k. Oh well I am not in a search for MT anyway since Houston traffic is crazy andI would like to stick with my AT.

I agree with others; while it is a somewhat rare car with exceptionally low mileage, why not take the close to $24K from the dealer?

That is of course unless he doesn't have that in writing from the dealer -

More power to him if he gets it - private party sale or dealer.

its nice but damn i think its kinda pricey for a 7 year old car! I paid 20k two years ago for my KBP with 40k miles in (overpriced EVERYTHING) new york! this car is bone stock also so it gives me hope since ived added the a spec kit and a few tasteful mods that i to can sell mines still for about 20k with 69k miles now lol
