I know some will probably hate on me, I know some will just think to themselves why??!? and others will probably think im just crazy. Well obviously everyone else was dragging their feet while I got my ass on an airplane to see this car. After many days of back and forth with the owner and LOTS of questions I decided to go for it. I thought to myself, there will never again be a chance to find a MRP with ebony interior, 6mt, with high performance tire package, and 5,000 miles EVER AGAIN. I obviously have no problems selling my cars so I thought why not. Even though I had some bad experiences with my previous 6mt Type S's, this one seems awesome so far. Maybe the other ones were ragged on which I guess is obvious considering I had to replace the clutch at 62,000 miles in one of them, but for whatever reasons im digging it again.
Like many of you in that original thread about this car, I had a lot of hesitation at first because of its unusual history, but no matter what I did I just could not stop thinking about it, and I am EXTREMELY glad I didnt. I am now the owner of a 2007 MRP 6mt Type S purchased yesterday with 5,090 miles. After going over every part of the cars interior and exterior the owner was right, Honda Corporate pretty much left this car alone. It basically looks, smells and drives like a new car. I know my actions dont show it, but this may be the TL that I finally keep. The cool thing is, my 08 CBP Type S is just as clean as this 07 with the exception of 25,000 more miles (also extremely low miles). Its going to be hard to let that one go if thats what I decide to do.
The seller of this MRP Type S said there was one other serious buyer from the forums and I just got in my offer and was on a plane very quickly. So hopefully no one is pissed off, but I had to have this one.

I drove the car home 11 hours yesterday and have done nothing but give it a quick washing today. Its so new that there really isnt anything else to do. After I washed it I glanced at the under carraige and couldnt believe my eyes!!! I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

I told you that you would get this MRP , knowing you having trouble staying out of low mileage TL, BTW would you mind to post some close up pics of the damage that you stated in the other thread.

Very nice... Good luck. I think you have a sickness though

Yeah I will do my best but I'm gonna have to take some pics so it will be a little. So as far as the minor issues, I just over thought things, and it turned out when the original owner said minor he wasn't kidding. When he picked me up at the airport I was so relieved and thrilled to see that what he mentioned was very minor. The drivers side lower side sills were scuffed from shoes, which as you can see in the pictures I quickly clay bared off. The other thing is a very small ding above the fuel filler door. Again, it was much smaller than I thought and I may or may not have a PDR guy take care of that. There is a 1" scratch on the drivers side rear quarter panel that I will probably do no more than touch up as its definitely nothing worth having repainted. Plus I would rather have a small scratch than an entire repainted panel that will probably never be as good as factory paint. As for the interior it looks great, the only slight issue is I can tell is the steering column cover was removed as the two sides don't seat perfectly flush anymore. I'm anal so I'm gonna order new ones as they are pretty cheap. Most people wouldn't care or notice it, but I'm weird like that.
I went all throughout the entire car and see no other signs of any screws or bolts being removed so I was very happy about that as well.

Thanks for the compliments!

I do, I won't deny that. My wife thinks I'm an idiot.

so James need to buy another low mileage WDP Type S to complete the whole Type S color theme

WDP and ASM I have not owned. No offense to the white or silver guys but neither of those colors do it for me on the TL. I love all TL's, but those are the two colors I can't see myself buying. I know a lot of guys feel the same way with MRP, but it's a color I have always loved.

Acura_Dude

Holy hell man. Isn't that the 6th TL? Congratulations all the same! MRP is a beautiful color.

Nice pick up bro...I have been reading your posts every now and then so I know you have been through a collection of tls. I think that's awesome. As sick as it sounds but I would do the same if I had money like that. I hope you keep both tls and don't get rid of either one..

Slpr04UA6

OCD at its best! Gosh such low mileage! Beautiful color as well! I hope not to see another one of your threads where you sell it! Lol!

For what its worth I had full intentions of keeping my mint 08 CBP and have not visited autotrader or cars.com, but one of you guys had to go and post a link to some crazy low mileage 6mt Type S.... So really, I blame you guys ;-)

Nice! I saw that car on the other thread- I'm also interested in how much you paid for it.

Immaculate. I'm sure the new car smell is still somewhat present, with only 5K on the car.

edit: now that i'm done laughing my ass off - when I saw the title of this thread and the person who posted it, I had about 85% certainty that I was about to open a thread about buying another 6mt type-s. Dunno why, but I just KNEW that's where this was headed.
