Condensation on the hood

Hello all, I have been lurking on the forum for the past few weeks research 3G TLs and finally decided to buy a family members 2008 TL non-Navi. Getting a good deal on it and it’s been maintained well and it’s at 106k. The fun part about this is I’m driving the car back to NJ from South Carolina, about 800 miles hopefully the car makes it, the trans fluid has always been drain/filled every 15k so I’m not too concerned.

Welcome Ampliified, what a great find. 106K, nothing for this car. With the service history,, and family owned, wow, you really lucked out. Not to worry, regarding transmission issues, as the 2007-2008 transmissions, were much improved, over the 2004-2005 and 2006 model years. Has the timing belt service been performed? Congratulations

The drivers seat also has a tear in it so I’ve got some plans for the car and it’s going to be tough for me to leave it stock
