I travel alot on the weekend to visit my friends and fiance. I take the back roads so there isn't much around but I do drive through a few small towns. As I was driving through Wrens, GA this is what I seen from the road.....

Its a 07 MRP Type-S for under $14K at a smaller car lot selling newer cars. I couldn't believe my eyes so I had to take a few pictures for you all. As far as what I could see it looked very clean. It has the darker two toned interior and is a 5AT. The tint is a mirror tint, probably about 35%. The only immediate flaw I could see what a huge gash in the rear passenger rim. It could have been from something serious, hence the price, but I still thought you all would enjoy!~










Below are the pics of the large gash on the rear passenger rim....

definately test drive it. get a car fax(salvaged title?). have it checked out by a knowledgable mechanic(preferrably honda or acura).

Looks like it on a "small sales" lot, where maybe they finance on the spot(hence the low price)

What milage is on it? Because it says "No-Warranty".

Would make a nice part-out.

if its a clear title, and you mechanic checks it out, theres absolutely nooooo reason why you can't buy it then sell it for a profit....

Well it looks like new tires and they seem bald. I bet there is about 100k miles on it. 100k miles on a year old car will do that to the price.

definately a nice looking TL there.

but yeah for that price, there is something waiting to be found to tell the rest of the story.

Either it's been wrecked, it has 100k miles, or most likely both.

can someone run the vin?

Paint looks like its in rather rough condition or at least its pretty dirty. And the headlights have some oxidization going on.

The vin of the car is 19UUA765X7A005433.

You mean run it through Car Fax? No.

Vin comes back with between 7 and 10 records depending on the site, seems like alot for a newish car...

Word. Sounds like a salvage title.

I wouldn't say all that. My CPO TL-S has over 30 records on its carfax because it was immaculately maintained at Ed Voyles Acura by the first owner. Every entry of the car going to the dealer for oil changes, brakes, tire rotation, etc is annotated on my 3 page carfax.

pretty standard actually, especially since just getting an oil change at the dealer will alot of times put another record on the carfax report (even registering it in another state, from like moving will put another record on there too)

odehboy

unbelievable

nivekov

whoaaaaaaaaa

Crestwood1001

Yea but judging by the state of the paint and the rims being pretty beat, im assuming the previous owner wasnt exactly hopping on taking it to the dealer to service it.

Dino81

hmm something doesnt seem right..Im going with others and saying salvage title.

RonJonTL757

Nobody mentioned car fax but you

Bearcat94

What do you think "run the VIN" means?

SanMarinoCpe

No Salvage Title...Last warranty repair was 4/24/09 at 97,580mi so it is high milage.

Here is the link to the car lot's website. It definitely has ALOT of miles. http://www.bullocksauto.com/cars/index.php

Here are some photos from their website.....

I think it says 137,XXX miles....

It "may" not have a NAVI disc also

Rick_TL-S

Damn, that's what, 34K a year? I wonder if the 100K service was done.

if it is just highway miles.. i still think that is a good catch as long as there is a clean title...

superdave80

agree

VQPower37

i wouldnt buy that car, for some reason something just doesn't seem right about it, i dont completely trust carfax either

I hate cars

I agree. I don't know why but something isn't right.

I wouldn't make any conclusions based on the one scraped rim (rear passenger side). They are easy as heck to scrape in drive-through teller lanes... or careless parallel parking... or cutting a right turn a little short and catching the right rear wheel on a curb. A wheel shop should be able to fix/re-finished that wheel...

drcoke

Shine a flashlight on the mainframe under the hood. Also under the rear of the car. If no dents or bent metal exist, the car is worth buying. Nothing wrong with a Honda with +100,000 miles as my last 5 honda motor passed that by a landslide.

Eek. That's a couple of miles. However, as the person said above me, that's nothing to fret over. My car has 95K and feels/looks freaking brand new. Other 3G owners can attest to this too I'm sure. It's all about how the car has been maintained. In terms of appearance, this TL-S looks kinda iffy.

nfnsquared

Hmmm....Just curious, what do you find iffy about it's appearance?

IMHO, I think it looks pretty darn good in appearance (noting the right rear wheel rash)...

antlive

nothing wrong with that car...the rims are like that from parallel parking...I did that to mine with I first got the car...hell 137k...I got 112k on mine...I put 178k on my 01 before I crashed it and it was running great....good maintenance on these cars you can easily go above 200k no problem..I got 18k when I totaled my 01 in 06

I think that might be a great deal....
