Man...what I'd give to have this 3G TL...

2008 3G TL Base Navi, A-Spec package. 656 miles. Black. My god look at this car and try not to drool...this or a 4G TL?

http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...5&aff=national

Thought I'd share this listing for fun and to anyone on this board considering buying a 3G TL...get this one! I've been staring at this listing for a week or two now. Saved all the pics to my computer for posterity. What a rare find. It's basically brand new. $32,000.

Damn, those are low miles.

I ed at the SAVE sticker on the back. You're not really saving money with this. It does look pretty nice though

Not uncommon for dealers to unscrew them until the vehicle is sold- for theft purposes. I'm almost willing to bet that this car was a show/demo car of some sort for Acura with that few miles.

I'd be leery of a car that has sat around for 2 or 3 years. Sitting is the worst thing for a car to do...needs to be driven, I wonder what has seized in that time...

I looked at an 08 WDP Base TL with 800 miles for $33K before I bought my TL-S. All the dealerships here are VERY steep due to the military installation here. Clean car though.....

KBB retail value of a 2008 Acura TL with 650 miles is $31,495. $500 less than what the dealer is charging, not accounting for the $1000+ A-Spec kit. Seems fair to me.

Very cool, but interesting to say the least, I agree whats the story here with 2+ years and only 656 miles and being de-badaged at a dealership??? I rarely drive my TL-S as I live only 1 mile from work and I bought it new and even I have roughly 8000 miles on mine. Something don't add up here I mean it hasn't been driven AT ALL!!!

Mods: Trunk lid spoiler, Tint, Debadged, clear bra, A-Spec... all to drive for 650 miles? Missing digit or two in the mileage?

I wanna know the story behind this car. A base TL with Navi AND all those A-Spec goodies woulda probably cost more than Type-S huh?

I really think it was a demo car of some sort. I don't doubt the 650 mile claim- it looks like it and the safety warning tags are still in the car.

Yup too much money. I bought my car new in 07 and only paid 32k for my type-s. I think my car had like 20 miles on it. Nice car but the emblems missing are suspect.

That thing is beautiful and the seats are pristine. Too much $$ though, I agree. Someone out there will get blinded by the looks and pay too much for sure.

I was thinking that it was a typo on cars.com but I went to the dealer website and it said 656 miles in the description.

It'll sell quick though. The new TL's are meh. And all it takes is someone looking a a 2010 model to not commit and then the salesman shows him a brand new 2008 model for $10k less. SOLD!

Don't know why the previous owner had gone with a UA6 rear A-Spec bumper than the UA7 one.

The rear A-Spec lip is the same from 04-08 for the Base TLs. The only variation from that design is the Type-S.

My side and rear A-Spec pieces are from a 2007. Betcha didn't know that

^ Wow, that is lame. I was thinking about getting the 07 base bumper + A-Spec so that I'd get that look like the Type-S.

I'm guessing it was a demo like my car...I think mine was listed at $30k with ~1500miles but we got it down to $26 so I'm sure this beauty could be had for 28-30k
