New TL owner

Well after looking for a while my wife finally found her TL. She "had" to have the black/black combo. It's got few recent mods from the previous owner (dropped, AEM, tails).

Looking forward to be a part of this forum. Seems like a great place to learn more about this car and possibly meet up with some TL enthusiasts in the future...

That looks great. I would never be able to own a black on black in NC. Way to hot. I love the drop.

I bet it is because of the Type S tails and rear sidemarkers.

You can rest assure the previous owner took real good care of it, if that person was a member on AZine. And you will too I'm sure.

Throw some wheels on and you are set.

If you don't mind sharing, can you tell us a little bit more about the year, mileage, and price that you paid?

New TL owner here too, and just wanted to get some ideas...

Also, I've seen that used NBP TL sells about $1000 more, is this normal guys?
(At least in several dealers I've gone to)

I bought it from a guy in N Atlanta. I'm not sure if he's a member on here.

The previous owner definitely took care of this. The car came with complete records for everything. The Tein's, AEM, and all new tires (Toyo's) were installed less than 1k ago.

And yes she browsing the photo gallery here to see what wheels she'd like to put on the TL... lol

All the dealers we went to said they can sell the NBP for more too. Apparently, it's pretty popular. I told her white looks good but she was adamant on the NBP.

Sure I don't mind sharing: it's an 04, 70k with 100k extended warranty, non-nav (she wanted Nav but I told her we can get a Garmin lol). Oh, and got the car for $15700.

Congrats on being a new TL owner as well
