Midnight Mystery

Here we have it, I picked up a 2007 TL Type S a couple of weeks ago. I had to fly from New Orleans to Tulsa to buy the car. It's a very clean TL with no curb rash on any of the wheels, no rips or defects in the seats, and working Bluetooth (amazingly)

Two owner, but the first owner only had the car a few months,so basically it's a one owner. Full service at the dealership mostly and TB/WP is current. 115K miles. Really can't ask for more.

I'll list the ugly below just to get that out the way

​​​​​​Has a dash cover but it looks alright
broken cupholder slider (dealer wanted like $450 to replace it when I had the PPI done )

Slight leak on oil cam seals
Rear brake pads need replacement soon
Intermittent SRS light but it's yet to do it since my ownership began

Tires are getting a little old, but at least they are Continental Pro Contacts, good enough for now (I want A Spec wheels anyway)

I definitely notice some tolerance stack up in the front end, so tie rods, bushings and ball joints will be my next tackle along with the 3x3 and rear brakes.

I really don't drive the car though. I've driven it maybe five or six times since I got back from Oklahoma with it. I've put my Accord back in service as my daily and I'm loving that old beater more than ever now. She's going strong at 203K miles and a new front suspension refresh, which fixed all my handling complaints from a couple of years ago.

I will definitely miss my white TL, nothing looks quite as pretty as a WDP TL, but in the long run, my KBP will be more special because of the color combination and condition. The perfect candidate for the A Spec treatment. Too bad, it's a 5AT, but the AT in these cars are pretty great for being the ancient technology that it is.

Big shout out to @truonghthe for walking me through the process of negotiating, getting a car inspected out of state and hooking me up with a rear A Spec lip. I can't wait to get the car out to Houston one day so we can take pictures together!!

Grats on the KBP MM!

After sitting in my blue turd, seeing the Ebony/Silver interior and you had to get one yourself. Oh and that Aspec wheel set don't help either

Well done my friend.

If you need side Aspec I got them as well. Thanks to you I reorganize my part stash and found out that I could make 3 full Aspec kit

When you get Aspec wheel make sure to keep your waffle set as you seen mine stack up in the garage.

Midnight Mystery

thanks

Yeah I'm definitely going to keep these waffles for sure. They have no curb rash or peeling, pretty remarkable for the milage on them. I kinda want those chome A specs from the RL. It might be too much, I'm not sure. Definitely don't want anything tacky and I'd have to double check the bolt pattern tho. I just feel the chrome pops on the blue.

I might hit you up on the sides one day. I'll pay you good for them.

You happen to have WDP A-Spec? I'm on the hunt these days.

Slash32

You happen to have WDP A-spec kit?

truonghthe

yes i do, shipping is gonna worth more than the lip kit lol.

Midnight Mystery

My WDP wasn't an A-Spec, but it was lowered. Unfortunately, that car was written off after an interstate pile up back in May.

Nice car! Did you take those pictures from the TL while you were flying it?

Nice car! The KBP looks amazing in the sun. 😎

I still regret not buying a 6MT KBP with black/grey interior a while back. 😢

Midnight Mystery

Thanks man.
