2010 Acura TL SH-AWD w/8k miles

I recently purchased this Acura CPO car with 8k miles and...it's Manual transmission! Love the power of the 3.7L...

Thanks guys...Luckily, I found this car at a local dealer and let's say, the price is too good to be true... I guess it's because it's MT, the dealer is having a hard time to get rid of it too.

The beak was actually painted before I got the car. The sales rep told me it was painted by previous owner at local dealership(?). I just hope it doesn't start chipping or whatever in a few years, which is a sign of poor paintjob.

You're very lucky, trying to get a hold of a 4G MT in the tri state area is nearly impossible.

You can always sell the items once you're done. Everything on the blackmarket sells here.

Not to burst your bubble or anything, but the color match on the grille is way off.

Damn that is a nice set of wheels. Great choice with the matte black on white. I think some matte black accents, maybe roof or or trim would match up beautifully. The stance is great and that rear quarter shot is mean. Well done

Thanks guys.

Turns out the key scratch is a lot longer than I expected under the sun. Hopefully, it can be buffed out at my friend's body shop. We'll see...

Puente Hills mall sucks man. People drive wrecklessly there. I actually got in an accident there by the 24 hr fitness. Dude just jumped in his car and backed out without looking and hit my 03 TL-S.

Good luck getting it fixed.
