seems fishy? Dealer plates but no dealer info listed in contact info..broker maybe?

wow, if that is right I'll buy that right now

 

seriously, me too..i dunno, something in the back of my head is red-flagging it

 

+1.

 

It's a salvage, its posted on his website somewhere. http://www.gtautopros.com/CURRENT_INVENTORY.php

 

he si right
gta auto pros buy insurance and salvage cars from auctions, individuals, etc... and they fix them up by doing good body work to make it look in new and pristine condition despite the car having a salvage title

 

As others said, salvaged unfortunately.

At first though, I thought that might have been right considering another member said a dealer offered him $19,000, but he had 8,000 more miles.

 

Salvage...definitely. It would be so hard to sell that car again yourself. So, even though it is super cheap. It might not be worth it. (plus all of the problems you would have during ownership!)

 

Guys, you are probably right on the salvage. There is one small thing that wrong with this Type S. This car has Base TL foglights, but it's a Type S car. If you'll notice, Type S foglights "curve out" at the lower bottom portion of the light. These foglights are Base TL lights because they "curve in" towards the inside of the car. I hope I'm explaining this so it makes sense. The Parts Department Manager taught me this about TL's.

It has all the typical Type S characteristics, so my guess is that something has happened towards the front end of the car.

 

Good eye, Steven. I didn't know that about TLs either!

 

Thanks Sharp...it's the only way you can really tell a base TL from a Type S if you're looking at two cars side by side (from the front).

 

Looks like the wrong grill too. It has the flat silver grill, not the chrome. Maybe it's just the photo though.

 

take a look at the before pictures

second set after the bmw

severe bumper damage both front and back
they claim no frame damage, but idk, you can never trust these dealers.

 

Whoever the car belonged to before, he was sure to take his CAI with him...lol

 

Can you post up some better pictures to demonstrate what you are referring too?
thanks

 

Here you go SCV......

This is a picture of my Type S below. Notice how the lower, outer corner of the foglight kind of comes to a point plus angles towards the wheels.



Now, here is a picture of a 2007/2008 Base TL. Notice how the bottom of the foglight curves in....away from the wheel and towards the center of the nose.



That's how you can tell.

 

Gotcha..thanks for clearing that up

 

Good pics, thanks Steven.

 

Oh snap. Someone is going to buy that car without getting a carfax report and there is a good chance that they will be on this forum complaining about how bad his car is and how Honda/Acura makes crap vehicles nowadays.

Side note, I would love to scope a junk yard of wrecked TLs for spare parts. An additional navi or HFL would be cool to play with on my workbench.

 

wow!!! yeah stay away from that car,but they did fix it up really good though it looks clean but, after seeing the before pics it best to just leave it alone

 

Thats crazy that they would repair it and put a stock front on it instead of an S front. Someone ordered wrong parts.

 

Right on the money, here are the pics i got from their site of how it was before

Run.............run far away!

 

Can someone please run a carfax number for me?

Im in the process of purchasing a 06 TL w/Navi ASPEC with only 6500 miles for $18,900. However it sounds to good to be true and I dont want to go and find out that its a salvage car. Its also 5 hours from where I live.

Please PM and I'll supply the VIN.

I dont have anything to give, but the almighty one above will

Thanks!

 

Good little note about the fog lights. I am sure I will be checking that out on TL's I see driving on the street!
