Question Help with pricing and bumper mismatch on a 06 TL - WDP

I am looking at 06 TL w/ Nav - WDP, Ebony interior, AT, with 13,500 miles on it. I went to look at it today and noticed the bumper mismatch that I have read about in the forum.

What, if anything, can be done to correct it or should I just live with it? It is not "that" noticeable (if I hadn't read about it on the forum I would have never noticed) but if you look hard enough you can tell.

Also, I am trying to gauge what the value of the car is, I pulled KBB/Edmunds, but what are you guys that have recently bought 06's paying for them?

if it is not that noticeable, leave it alone so long as you can live with it.

IMHO, you really have to live with it. Some are more noticable than others. The only real solutions are 1. repaint the whole car with special care to mathing the bumpers or 2. repaint the bumpers (maybe several times) to get them just right.

jwright, +1 on live with it
there's not one WDP out there with a perfect match
the car you're describing is worth 28K easy. If its priced below 28K I think it is a very good deal

try to talk them down a grand or have them throw in an extended 100k mi warranty included in the price. You could get a brand new 2007 non type S, auto and NAVI for only 2-3 more grand, ( 32-33K on the road) and get better financing through Acura, so your pmts are going to be so close that it wont make any sense to go used
