Dumb Ebay Seller of TLS

So i was looking at some TL Type S's on ebay and I came across this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=260188896723

And what caught my eye was that he had it listed 0-60 in 4.9 seconds. LOL. So I sent him a message and told him that he should do some research before listing false numbers and he responded by saying, "mind your own business." Just thought this was real funny so I had to share.

It's funny how he is trying to get $30k for a salvage vehicle. That car is worth no more than $17k/half of book value.

Not only is he ignorant about the performance of the TL-S but he is also color blind. The interior is obviously not black and "white".

Yeah, but only the two side doors were damaged and it was fixed by a professional shop with all new Acura parts.


Can anybody say, "There's more to the story."?

Says title: salvage... Condition: new... Contradiction of the decade...


Ps. No way it is just 2 doors in damage... It was probably the entire side + every single airbag + sub frame damage

He is also continues to say that is has a "heated steering wheel and Auto Close/Open Trunk". I don't own a type-s, but im pretty sure those aren't features.

Boy is that a confusing ad. It's listed as "2007 Acura : TL TYPE S 3.5L". Then in the specifics it says "2007 ACURA TL TYPE S BLCK/BLCK NAVI/CAMERA 1KM G37 RL"

Maybe it's the combination of TL-S, G37, and RL engineering that enable the car to do -. in 4.9 secs?

I'm feeling bad for the guy who got t-boned in his new TL-S with 950 miles on it. Hope he had gap insurance.

I would guess he listed G37 & RL to pick up anyone who does a search for those models......

Awesome....the reserve was not met. SHOCKER!

I have to say the writing in all caps is ALWAYS a sign to look closer and a bit more critically...

Gah....hope he fails...

Doesn't really look like a t-bone. Looks to me more like a sideswipe. Looks like the front driver's side wheel took a hit also. I wonder if there was suspension damage also.
