Got any good stories of your previous owners modifications?

 

bone stock except for 8.5" a-spec

 

I'd definitely take that!

 

seller said they were type-s rims

 

He would have probably tried selling it for more if he knew what they actually were.

 

Did you mean white LEDs? What's wrong with white ones?

 

previous owner installed the tvnav2go unit with a dvd player. i still use it to this day. great mod, I like it very much

 

What color are while LEDs?

 

ahhhhh damn!

 

yeah I meant white. And it's a good thing! I was planning on doing it anyways but now I don't have to. He even did the trunk.

It also makes me feel a bit better about the cars condition before I bought it; If a person is gonna do the entire cabin and trunk, it usually means they cared about the vehicle.

 

Oh, I thought you meant you didn't like them. I did mine with vleds a few years ago. The white is clean. The blue is rice.

 

my fenders appear to be "half-assed" rolled and must have applied too much heat in one spot because it looks like some paint melted so i assume the previous owner either had some coilovers or tried to put some DUBZ on this car....

 

tl rear fenders are factory half-rolled. not sure if thats what you mean though

 

previous owner did a complete interior detail before selling me the car. No mods since it was owned by an elderly woman.

 

LED's throughout was only mod.

Oh, and curb rashed wheels...

 

Picture fail. Atleast spell things right if your gonna post a picture like that haha.
That way people like me don't have to sit there and say wtf is while LED's.

My car was purchased 100% stock in every way shape and form. Just the way I like it :-)

 

Dark tinted windows & switched to full synthetic oil from day 1, which I would have done anyways. The rest of the car was 100% stock.

 

Says the one who can never get "your" and "you're" right.

 

 

If i ever sell, the car will have plenty of stories to tell!

curbs, trees, engine rebuild

 

Yeah you got me......im dyin over here. If my iPhone fixes it great, if not who cares. Anyway, about those while LED's.

 

you guys never heard of While leds? it's a new brand but has very high quality products

 

Yeah its all the rage in Europe!

 

Speaking of other owners of our cars... Decided to google my VIN from my TL I traded in back in March. Looks like it took less than 4k miles for the next owner to total it. Poor car, RIP.

100% stock for me.

 

wow that sucks!

 

Many years ago I bought a bone stock 1991 Eagle Talon Tsi (these don't have the best reliability ratings) but my Talon was very reliable. At the same time my friend bought a 1990 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD that was heavily modified. That thing would give Corvette's & Porsche's a run for the money....but it spent more time in the shop than on the road. The shop eventually gave up on the car because they didn't know what the previous did or where to begin. Every part on the Talon was changed/hacked....side note....that friend is now a mechanic

The previous owner of my TL-S was a Real Estate agent and the only thing she did was an aftermarket remote starter which I'm not crazy about but after testing it out it seems to work nicely. I wish I could buy a used car from myself lol because I wash & wax (basically fully detail) the car before I trade it in.

 

Say whaaaaat? Fronts too or no??
Then I wonder what other reason there could be for the appearance of melted paint in my rear fender...

 

Missing the window lock button. And his/family/friends personal identifiable information still left in the navi address book

 

not fronts, just rear.

it could be someone tried to roll the rear all the way and messed up, or it could be anything else.

 

Yeah those 4G63 NA/boost had a list of issues. Crankwalk (mostly on the 7 bolt) was the famous one to watch out for.
