I bought a 2004 TL new in 2004. Kept it until 2012, sold it for $5000 with 235,000 miles on it. Then bought a 2008 with 15,000 miles on it, which has 208,000 and runs like new. Regular maintenance is all I’ve ever done. This model was probably the best car Acura ever made. Best factory sound system of any car I’ve had over the last 40 years.
Still have my 06 TL with navi and A-spec kit in black. Currently has 150K miles. It's in the shop right now. Had motor mount issues, leaky power steering pump and valve gasket needed replacing. I plan on keeping it as long as I can. Still a great looking car with the A-spec kit.
@@trenchfeet9457any luck finding it? You can buy the front bumper from the dealer and the rest from 2nd hand, people or junkyards. Rear bumper is the hardest piece to find
I owned a 2006 TL, and loved it. But due to growing family and needing something practical, I got the first gen RDX 2011 with SH-AWD and love it. When the car market cools down though, I decided to get a 2007/08 TL Type S but it has to be Kinetic Blue. Glad to see others loving the Type S as much as I do.
Looks like the Clazzio seat covers? They are not cheap dude! You’re correct, greatest sleeper daily ever. Dont matter if auto or manual, this car is a legend! You can fix it with a hammer
I never had the type s but always the regular tl. Im thinking of getting one and drive it as a daily. I love the regular im so excited on getting the type S
Last month I got a 07 TL Type S. 191,000 miles. Silver manual transmission. I fucking love it. For 7,000$. I’m so happy just going to work or taking my family out on weekends in it. It really is the funnest car I’ve had. Aside from my 63 impala. Me and my girlfriend did the oil today in it. Went with royal purple. ❤
Oooo I dig it, I’m new to this channel but I ain’t goin nowhere. Where can I get a dynomax resonator from? And just delete the mid (3rd muffler) and rear?
Goin to scoop up aN 08 TL Tuesday !!! Not aspec S but it’s still a nice one only 92k on her silver over black auto . (Bummer ) I know but the 6 speeds had hella miles and they were few in car between for my budget . TL Gang gang
@@willlauture3401 cars great , put coilovers on her and rims come February. Had to replace purge valve and alternator so far but that’s it . Solid car still . Super clean

Yo man I’m like tryna get into cars & would love to start with this one, is this the type of car that I could find at just any typical dealerships or no ?
You can still find these cars at smaller dealerships across the US. You can find them on Facebook market listings from dealerships and any car buying website
160k seems like a lot of mileage for this car unless it was a spectacular deal. Or are these just that reliable to the point where that kind of mileage doesn't matter as much?
It’s pretty much what you said but it depends on if it was maintained right. I hear the 07 to 08’s have better holding up transmissions. I have the 05 base tl and I got it at 162k and took it on a 4hr drive to California and back to Az and it gave no trouble for a 4000$ car I got for 3700$ on offer up. Now 11months later at 184k it makes a little suspension noise and needs a transmission drain and fill but other than that it’s still gets me from a to b.
How has your gas mileage been on both your TL Type S? I average around 17-18 which is honestly horrible regardless if I am being throttle happy or driving it like a normal human being. And all my maintenance is up to date. I have had mine for almost 3 years now.
Sounds about right, that’s how much I get on mine, especially with a modified exhaust but I love the TL for the luxurious build quality and reliability. For example, there’s no outside noise when driving vs a Honda Accord
@@AntnyNguyen Totally agree. It's got a lot going for it and especially for the price you pay for it used now a days, it's quite a lot of car for the money. But when I have to fill up every few days and getting mileage that's even worse than SUVS, trading it for something else sounds appealing haha
Yeah for sure! Make sure if it’s high mileage that the timing belt and water bump has been changed every 80-100k miles, lower ball joints have been changed would be really nice, and engine mounts have been changed. Those are the main things I look for
If you buy a car private sale it's simple. They have a title, fill out the title and date it. Write out a bill of sale stating who is selling who is buy what the car is and what the date is. Most places are minimum of 7 days but typically 30 days to register

do you think its worth to pick one of these up that has 180k miles and a new timing belt for only 4k its so worth it i think i love these cars
A type s or tl
Tl I would say 3k to 3500 but if it was a type s it’s so worth
Them seats fire

This cars fast enough 🤣. Facts bro my 2003 type is keeps up with v8s easily
Mileage on a car does not matter as long they are maintained well.
I mean yea it does lol
Why don’t you show us that dash homie lol. It sucks that the dashes in that car didn’t have a recall.
Needs a Jpipe atleast. Sounds too choked/restricted but I guess you’re not looking for gains
160k seems like a lot of mileage for this car unless it was a spectacular deal. Or are these just that reliable to the point where that kind of mileage doesn't matter as much?
Is 6000 for 140k miles good for one of these? I could probably ask for like 5000. Oh yeah it’s a type s not base
It’s pretty much what you said but it depends on if it was maintained right. I hear the 07 to 08’s have better holding up transmissions.

Just watching this vid finna buy one and you mentioned you were in Shreveport louisana😂that’s where I’m at
Very good idea I sold my wrx and got a crx lol and now and think about selling my daily Audi smh for a type s too
Do it bro! Hahaha
I’m damn sure selling my bmw for one
Do led light in the car it looks so sick
Where u get the type s badge in the front from?
My 7th gen accord does that too ✊🏻 with its windows
Dnt know if your still doing the build but a new wheel would look nice.

I own a TL base and I get about 19-21
I get 14 on my s60r 😭
Shits a beauty. Quick question, are the 07-08 type s auto’s prone to failing like the base TL’s or are they better upgraded?
I wanna know this too!
No they aren’t, 04-06 TL’s transmissions eventually go bad
07-08 type s autos have the 07 RL tranny in there. They are pretty robust and rarely fail unless morons screw with it of course
@@highzrollaz5428 good to know.
Yessssurrskiii
I'm thinking about buying another one too
LETS GET IT!!!
Where do I get the dynomax resonator I have rv6 pre cat deletes and rv6 j pipe and my shot pushin but sounds raspy
Iam gonna be 18 in next summer. Trying to buy a car under 6k . Hopefully can find that kinda car with good mileage.
There’s one being sold by a dealer with 60k miles for $13k 😣
you copping?
Good video in my city Shreveport
I’m looking into getting one used, I’m on a budget any tips bro?

@@lightheartmediaofficial 🙏🏿 thank you
Make sure the head gasket isnt leaking or blown either. This is a common issue. Then, inspect the rear main seal for leaks. Ask me how i know🤬
Good pick-up! 👍 But I’m a fan of the TSX more IMO BUT 🔥
How did you drive it home without registering? Serious question because I wanna buy a car thats a few hours away.
