$3400, I'll be able to sell this one for close to $5k.
Previous owner spent $250 on front seats and they look OEM and are soft as butter helps make the car feel and look good. Engine bay is super clean and maintained, transmissions has history of fluid changed. Shifts almost seemless. This was an October 2006 build i believe so should have updated transmission.

Very nice! Seeing these cars so cheap and a little TLC would make a good flip. Just can't scrounge up the initial buy in at the moment. Damn house projects.

Good deal, but the car's rear end looks jacked up.

I'm enjoying the RBP. I have gotten the most compliments from this color combo than the others. I'll most likely keep this for a few months. Sell and pick up a Type-S. But no rush. Being in the ATL market people abuse their TL's here so when I sell mine they go quick because of basic maintenance and they are cleaned up and shiny lol
