Not sure if this is a re-post. But I came accross these on Ebay.

2006 Chinese Domestic Market TL 1/18 Die-cast models - shipping from CHINA. A little on the pricey side.

wtf.. $110!.. good craftsmanship.. you can tell it's CDM by the headlights..

 

i wonder if they sell lowering kits for them? A spec kit?

 

I just noticed the 4th brake light as well.. .. the clear tails aint bad.

 

A little on the pricey side? I'd say very overpriced.

 

I just emailed the Mfg.. Guangzhou Paudi Model Tech.. and inquired about price / unit.. their english website list them as $123!

They have the TL in SSM & NBP.. not sure about other colors but I inquired as well.. They also have 2G RL, 2G MDX and I believe 1.5G MDX.. same price as well..

 

I got this for my bday from my gf.. these things are bad a$$.. when I sell my TL (if I ever do) I will update the 1:18 scale model look like my real TL.. the sunroof opens and the mirrors fold.. it is also the heaviest 1:18 scale model I own.. this thing is DETAILED..

 

I just got the price list from the company.. They're $109 a piece.. if you order 120 pcs or more it's 50% off.. 500pcs is 60% off..

If you guys are interested in doing a group buy I can post up the contact info for whoever wants to lead the buy. They're not in stock right now but the production has not stopped on them. Their catalog says they can come in Red (RRP), Black (NBP), Blue (KBP - not ABP ), and Silver (SSM).

They have a whole fleet of diecasts priced anywhere from ~$80 / pc to ~$140 / pc with the same discounts.

 

I want

I can respect that it was done the RIGHT way when it comes to die-cast models, but it's still overpriced.

Not feeling the cleared tails, 4th brake light, and it has the 07-08 side mirrors on a 04-06. Come on now

 

This is how they look in China. This is actually a replica of a Chinese Acura TL, not a US TL.

 

Here is a real China TL: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-photograph-gallery-96/tl-china-717697/

 

^Gotcha. My misunderstanding.

Although I think it's going to be very difficult to get 120 people to buy lol

 

i'd be down for one

 

yeah.. let's do some math..

120 * 109 * 0.5 = $6,540

Shipping ? Custom fees ?

Overall.. they'd probably come out to around $65-70 each to split even.. plus whoever leads the sell would have to take time out to ship these out so tack on a few bucks each.. $75..

It's still cheaper than $140..

 

Several years ago there was a group buy on these. One of the vendors on here got a deal for us at like $80 or something close to that. A bunch of us ordered them. I got my ABP one..

 

I'd like to have one as well

 

I'm jealous.. I thought you had a SSM?.. The catalog makes the blue tone TL look more like KBP.. I'm glad it's ABP.

 

no Brembos no deal

 

They marketed it as ABP when we bought ours, but then again I don't know if this is the exact same seller. We ended up buying them through a vendor here on AZ that got them from the guy in China and that was back in '07.

No SSM for me..ABP all the way! It was the first color I gravitated to on the lot and I never looked backed.

 

well if you see another ABP on the road it's probably me.. kinda rare here..

 

wow, it's even got the cleared tails and headlights!

 

So can you get the RonJon kit for them too?

 

I wish WDP was available

 

when I have time I will be painting mine WDP..

 

I just got one from my GF for my birthday this month, and its flawless, i love the detail to everything, including the bottom exhaust system is a different color. (usually just black piping)

It is on the pricy side, but well worth it. Got mine from a local sacramento Acura dealership.

 

Majofo- maybe you can contact one of the AZ vendors to set up a groupbuy? That's the only way a group buy can be done, otherwise, I would have to close the thread. Thanks.

 

Do they make a blue 07/08 type s one?

 

Sure I could pass the info..

 

No Anthracite...lame. They need to make Aspec body kits and swappable wheels and adjustable suspension lol

 

let see if mike will make some ATLP quads for these bad boys.. LOL

 

^

 

lol, we get the mod bug for our cars, and then we see a scale model and want to mod that as well...lol

 

yah haha.. i want to mod mine to look like my TL.. anyone know if there is a maker of 1/18 scale rims!! haha .. its really sad that I am serious haha..

 

i would be in if a vendor could get these for us...

 

how cute lol

 

I am in for sure on a group buy IF WDP is available, I don't want to paint it.
