Non Navi, AT, A-SPEC, NBP/Parch - 67K miles, $18k

Or don't so it can sit around and I will eventually get it

Nah after having two J series AT's I would definitely get an MT next time...great deal nonetheless.

 

Why do the back seats look like they are from a different car?

Is it the lighting? Or are they really a different color?

 

Looks like its been around the block a few times..

 

18K is top dollar for the car. The leather looks fairly worn but 04 was the year that they did not provide good seat support. I know we bluw book value and all but if you go to trade it in I would image they would not give more than 16k tops.

 

tl with no navi?


i'll pass.

 

IS that Supercomputers Door Sills on this TL????

 

$15k is a better price for it..

 

Dont know about you guys, but TLs are hard to find that cheap around here in NY, thats a bargain!

 

I would rather pay retail for solid car well maintained car, than below book for a car that's beat to shit like that one.

Hell for the right car i might even consider paying above book for it..

 

That car does not look beat to shit! I don't like the two-tone interior (read faded/replaced back seats), but it probably looks a lot better than the average 04 TL with those miles. It looks ok to me, but I like dark interior.

OP, if you were really considering getting that car, it looks good. Go for it!

 

yea in new york, it is pretty hard to find a cheap TL but you can definatly find somethig better then that

 

...looks quite beat?

 

I was thinking the same thing. The whole interior is camel except for the backseats which are parchment. Maybe it is the lighting?

 

From what i can tell from those pics the car has discolored seats, dirty seatbelts, excessive interior wear, and rims missing centercaps on pretty much all the rims. That is what i can tell from just taking a few seconds to scan over pictures. Who knows what you will find looking at it first hand. I am very particular about cars but just looking at those pics, i wouldn't even waste my time going to look at it in person.

IMO it is worth while to travel to find the right car.

 

I understand what you are saying Mark. I am still curious though, as to if we have any 04 owners here with Camel interior that looks hella better than that? Seriously, do we? One of the reasons why I didn't want Camel or Tan interior was because of fade issues and the knack for showing stains and dirt over time. Plus just normal wear and tear. You are right about the wheels though. I am sure with time I would've noticed that too.

What I do find hard to understand, unless you are a smoker, is how in the hell does the seatbelt get so dirty in cars like that? That has always disgusted me!

 

I agree about the rear seats...check out this pic, compare the color of the seats to the rear pass. side door or what you can see of the rear part of the center console...to me they look different from the seats, so I don't think it's the lighting, but it's possible I suppose.

 

I rather get another car. The engine and the rear seat looks beat up. I would pass on this one.

 

yea, the seats are definitely a different color, its not the camera exposure because the headrests are different too LOL. as for the engine being beat up...i cant say, it just looks like someone went crazy with the armor all and let someone touch it. or someone was eating chicken wings

 

Sah-Sah-Sah-SALVAGE!

[like a chia pet commercial]

 

flood.

 

also look at the top of the rear door panels, looks like a dog clawed at it or it was stabbed by a few screwdrivers.

 

Every wheel is also missing the center caps.

 

Ahhahaha, I literally started laughing out loud when I read that, haha.

 

hehe

 

Haha that cat is hilarious. No I was just trying to make a point of a good price, I wasn't contemplating buying it. In my 04 TL I had both the front seat covers replaced at 18k because of the stupid bunching and dents. Werd on the non navi looking like shit, I don't know why they couldn't have made the nn look any better. Almost like getting a tooth knocked out and just leaving a hole in your mouth. Center caps missing is minor. I did wonder to myself "what color is that interior?" because I did notice the camel front and parchment rear, but figured it was the lighting. I might call the dealer and ask them about the backseat just to see what they say. The fact the backseat was most likely replaced and the new one also looks like crap isn't a good thing. The backseat does look beat up, as far as the seatbelts...maybe the last owner didn't shower regularly and rode around shirtless often?
This TL is like some prostitutes, you wanna hit it but you know it's dirty.

MODS: Maybe the thread title should be changed to "Someone please DON'T buy this 04 TL".

 

STEVE YOUR AVATAR TRIPPED ME OUT AHHA .. I was like , how'd that fucker get in my screen lol ..

 

My seatbelts are dirty as well.. they were filthy when I got the car, I nee to take the time to get some warm water and soap and clean them up good.. I think the previous owner went a little nuts on hair spray everyday.. the thing is hard in some places lol

 

I wonder where they got the sweet central auto sticker on the trunk....

Make it any bigger and you could stick it to the hood and say it's a bra

 

looks abusedd like no tommro

 

Actually, Yea we do have an 04 Camel interior that looks hella better than that, MINE!

(and it has 67k on it.)
I think the previous owner must have took care of it like a TL owner should.
