That's right. They give you a key and a quarter of tank I believe. I was looking for the TL-S back then. They has one in really good condition and price, it's just I'm too slow .

I'm surprised they didn't paint the engine covers the same way, or even carry that paint scheme into the interior.

the guy is probably selling it since he got "flamed" for it too much.

Oh come on guys, if you close your eyes it'll be like you looking at your own TL



Flames definitely do not belong on a TL

I actually like that paint job (not for the TL though). It would look good as custom paint on a sport bike, not so much on a car. The interior looks good/ stock except for the steering wheel. I'm not a big fan of the wheels. Whoever buys it will need to budget for new paint to cover the flames. Those will diminish the value of the car to a moderate degree.

Great dealership for sure. It's literally like 5-10 minutes from me. They push a ton of volume in used vehicles.

Anyway, the paint scheme doesn't sit too well on an import. Made more for a bike.

Plus... you guys are hilarious in this thread. I never expected it to blow up like this.

That looks like a pretty nice car that's worth bidding on, despite the flame job and unnecessary wheels. I wouldn't mind driving it if I could get it for $10K or less and it could be registered here in CA.

when I think of flames, I think of something fast. the flame work is cool but doesn't have zhit under the hood. for that paint job, u need a supercharger, turbo or nitrous. something.

I have looked at many cars they have listed. They are pretty big.

And IMO I think the woodgrain looks uglier than the flames. True they don't fit the TL that well but it looks like a pretty good paint job.

I wouldn't rock it but I am sure some gangster would.
