These cars are basically trouble free.
you should look for common used car problems, like for example tire conditions, and if the tranny is shifting smoothly, etc.

its a honda that will last forever, depending on how the previous owner treated it, just like any other used car.

Since it has the same engine as your last TL, anything that you noticed about your 03, you could apply it to the 07 type-s.

Again, these "what to look for" threads are becoming daily posts. Scroll through the first few pages and youll see a couple of them and your questions will be answered.
To sum it up quickly, the Type S is a VERY solid car with no major problem areas. Therefore, just do the usual used car look over and if that checks out you will good. Remember, an accident free, low owner (one preferred), well maintained vehicle is always optimal.

Thanks, I looked around up top just figured it easier to make a thread. It's a forum might as well make a post about it I just know my 03 was prone to trans issues so instead of searching around for a while I would ask the current owners. You guys told me what I wanted to hear though thanks just got to wait on the final word if my car is totaled what do you think

Too many variables to say if it's totaled or not- bumper, driver's side front fender, but the pass side can't be seen, and it's unknown from the pic if there's damage underneath. Also, how many miles on the car? That is a determinant to value of the car as well. I would say that if it's more than 6-7K to fix it, it'll be totaled.

honestly I wouldn't hesitate to buy another 3G no matter on miles if it was maintained properly.

A big selling point on that car is that it is 1 owner. Like everyone on this forum says, TL's are solid cars.

Basically your insurance provider will calculate the value of the car. Then if the amount to repair is xx% (probably 60-75%) of the car value then it would be a total loss.
But if it is, don't worry nor hesitate on getting that TL-S...
