Looking to hopefully buy a 2007 Type-S in the future. Test drove one today and have a quick question:

A fairly large portion of the passenger side dash looks faded. Is this permanent or a common problem with the TL dash? Perhaps a simple Armor All fix?

Thanks in advance. Hope to join your ranks soon!

 

My apologies to all. Just found the thread discussing the issue.

My new question, however, is: should I buy the Type-S or not? The faded dash looked terrible, and I will definitely not be happy if the dealer is not going to replace - or worse, the problem recurs.

 

If you find a Type S that you like, be sure to grab it. But I would definitely negotiate them fixing the dash into the deal.

 

Agreed with Steven, Type-S are basically all gone now, you gotta hop on them!

 

ever heard of a dashmat?

 

You can try Aerospace 303 and see if that helps.

 

I didnt know that the dashes faded so bad I should be alright having the car garaged and windshield tinted then
