I realize that to most acurazine peers, that "I'm singing to the choir" regarding the attributes of the 3rd Generation TL, but the following is written for those new to the TL community.

*Rare '05 TL Sport with 6 Speed Manual Transmission*. $9,000 OBO. Nubian Black Pearl exterior, saddle leather interior, and very well kept for 181,500 mi. Non-smoker; No Pets. The TL is a dynamite model with a stellar reputation for performance, longevity, and reasonable fuel economy. Black pearl, saddle leather, and burl wood-like accents is a gorgeous timeless color combination. Legal tint on windows. TL's are very well equipped and the Sport (04'-'05) & Type S ('06-'08) models have few options, so the following denotes only what's a step above the others.

The Sport's already excellent Brembo brakes have been upgraded with (HT Stage 2 Sport front & rear vented/slotted rotors, S/S brake lines, HP pads, etc.), K&N air filter, new ignition coils & plugs on all cylinders, and Optima battery (new 09.2014). Acura Type S gunmetal 17" 10 spoke wheels with Cooper R53-A Ultra Hi-Performance All Season (new 2014) tires are on the car. The MSW 5 spoke wheels with snow tires in some pics do not convey.

I meticulously maintain my vehicles: fuel system cleaned and oil changed at 3k-4k intervals, always full synthetic plus Lucas Synthetic Oil Stabilizer, clean & re-oil K&N air filter, etc. I even flush out the oil pan at each oil change to ensure complete replacement of the used oil. Timing belt replaced at 112k mi - next service due at 217k mi. The clutch shows no sign of slippage or fatigue. Documented records & Carfax report.

It's my personal car, the motor has not been modified, it's never been raced or abused; not even my kids have driven it, and I've given it nothing but TLC in the 6 years, 125k miles since it's been in my care. Maryland State Inspection (required for sale/purchase) passed in March 2015 to ensure that vehicle is ready to purchase. Clean title. 27 mpg mixed driving, which is 3+ mpg better than in the automatic version (we own one of each), as high as 31 when cruising on the highway. The 6 speed manual transmission has earned a tremendous reputation in the Acura community; it is highly sought after and deserving of the premium commanded as compared to its automatic brethren.

Cosmetic: Interior is in excellent shape, clean carpets, leather, etc. Original shift knob shows wear, so I have a selection of replacement options, one of which I'll throw in for good measure. Trunk liner is included.

dang stop beating him up $7500-$8000 would be more realistic however anyone knows that when selling a car you price it higher than what you would actually take.

Good luck with your sale!

 

Good post.

I cleaned up the pricing posts previously posted.

The public has been made aware that pricing posts were made and deleted and I'm sure buyers can do their due diligence and arrive at a price that they want to pay and that the market will determine the actual selling price.
