Just picked up an 04 TL A-Spec with 82K Miles... Wrecked... Here are some pictures of the car...

It needed... Headlights, Hood, Bumper Cover, Grille, Radiator Support, Radiator, Condenser, Both Fans. I picked it up for $5900 Wrecked. What Do You Think? Good Deal? No?

 

Welccome

Front end damage only?

 

those ron jon alone cost 1k +. It has side and rear aspec in good shape. Doesnt look like the airbag deployed, so i think i found a deal there.

 

Welcome ! So are you going to be fixing the car yourself? Cause that a sounds like a lot of work...coming from a non mechanic. The rest of the body looks clean and I love the color and rims. Is the front a-spec lip salvageable? Good luck to fixing it up!

 

Good luck man. That looks really nice though.

 

Welcome and congrats!

I think it's a good buy but then again I'm not a wrecked car expert. I hope the repair process goes well!

 

Your front end is ready for an intercooler.

 

doesnt look bad, but i think it was a good buy.

 

Get rid of that wood crap on the inside and she'll look fine

 

Not bad of a find at all. A spec sides and rear, with RJ rims already...not bad. Good luck with the fixing part and detailing the inside. Post "Before and After" Pics.

Welcome to AZine!!!

 

i think you got a good deal as long as the frame is straight. Other than that its going to be a nice rebuild. I like looking for salvaged cars, especially if im going to rebuild the motor and front end.

 

Yes just front end damage with good air bags! The front lip is saveable, i have a body guy whos going to put her all back together with new parts for cheap. Anybody know where i can get a hood latch that bolts to the radiator support?

 

At least you have son RonJuons on them

Dayum, that is the cleanest wrecked car I have ever seen!

Welcome to azine, looks like you got a deal

good start to the TL diet thread https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-performance-parts-modifications-112/m-010-putting-tl-diet-update-links-post-1-a-610974/

 

If that is indeed the only damage incurred then I would say you got a great deal. Usually other issues pop up down the road though.. Do a 3x3 on the ATF at those miles, assume it's never been serviced and change the ATF filter as well.

Welcome to Azine!

 

not bad and congrats at least it came with the A-spec kit and ronjon's. should look nice when repaired. shows us pic's when all done! nice buy.

 

I say go with type s front. I havent seen a type s that color yet. Good find

 

yea, welcome, looks solid to me man- great price too- FTW. Whats the quote on the Parts...and will you be doing the work yourself?

 

Fa-Sho!!!

 

Welcome.

 

haha wow that is a good deal considering how much you can do to fix it with aftermarket parts.

 

WOW! What a steal! You got a grat deal at $5900, and you already have the A-spec kit and RJ rims! How come I'm never around when these deals come around?!

Can't wait to see the after pics!

 

how come i see some TLs have fog lights and some dont? Is there a place where i could buy fog lights?

 

I'm guessing you're talking about the two separate fog lights on the 07-08 TL's, they come standard for those years. You can mod the 04-06 TL's, but not a mod for Novices like me...lol

 

Oh so the 04-06 never came with fog lights from the dealer? Where can i get like interior trim to get rid of the wood?

 

What is a 3x3?
