My 2007 Acura TL Type-S 6-Speed with 87,320 Miles

- Sometimes a car comes along that's simply irresistible. This is the second 3G TL-S I've owned, after letting go of my Kinetic Blue Pearl about five years ago. This is a White Diamond Pearl on Taupe 6-speed that has become part of the collection. Thanks for watching!

Probably the cleanest third-gen Acura TL Type-S I've seen. In addition, it's hard to find one of these with a manual transmission.
Totally agree!
@@TysonHugie What do you think of the Canada only Acura CSX Type-S ? I know someone who imported one successfully to the States...
@@battosaijenkins946 just a civic
He always clean 🧼 his Acura TL…
Yeah hard to find but I saw one last month for $3,500 on OfferUp 110,000 miles manual transmission. Someone beat me to it :(
This damn car has a classic design. 10 years from now, they'll still look good. Definitely Acura's best looking sedan.
Totally agreed
I think you are forgetting about the RL 😊
It's just crazy how well the 3rd Gen TL has aged. 18 years later and these cars still look modern. Truly a timeless design.
I totally agree!
I always thought the design of these was timeless and still looks very modern and up to date.
I have to agree with you, this is the real first 4 door coupe in my eyes. Not the CLS.
Agreed on all that!
@@hollaz2 what’s wrong with the CL-S 6
This is the BEST sedan Acura/Honda has ever made. NOTHING in their lineup beat this. Nothing, I had the 3.2 for 8 years. Loved that car, and I hope to get a TypeS like this one day.
Definitely an amazing machine!
I never owned one but I've always loved the timeless styling of this generation TL. I live in South Jersey and I still see them on the roads from time to time. Your collection is absolutely sick...impressive as hell. I'm still driving my '98 CRV with with just over 302K on the odometer....the first gen V's are crazy reliable.
That’s awesome, love the G1 CRV
I love this generation TL and the Type S. I was very fortunate this last fall to finally buy my dream one. I found a guy nearby who was selling his 2008 TL Type S in my FAVORITE color - kinetic blue pearl. It had more miles than I wanted, but it was one owner and he did all service at his Acura dealership which made me feel better. Accident free and no cracked dash board is hard to find. I can’t express how much I love driving and looking at this car. Even was able to negotiate the price down. I love my 2011 RDX with SHAWD but this TL is so much fun. It’s awesome seeing how many others share the same love for this car.
Agreed, thanks Alex!
I have the same KBP 2008 automatic . They are head turners and mine is all stock. Found it in2018 . A wonderful quite driving experience on highway’s 👏
@@davidboyce6427 Very much agree. It always amazes me on how well it rides for being a 2008 with cruise control set at 80/85. Very quiet and smooth.
Absolute OEM PERFECTION.
As an 07 ASM automatic owner I just can't get enough of my TLS, f'ing legendary.
I love this gen and this car, f'ing masterpiece.
Agreed, amazing car! Timeless.
Sitting here having my morning coffee and admiring your collection Tyson.... Hell of lineup.
Thanks Branden! This TL was sold to a friend a while back. I wish I could keep them all forever! 😀
love that classic honda startup sound
Very characteristic for sure!
I got 5 kids , We own two Honda Odyssey , last summer I've bough a 07TL , what a car that was ! Feel so much planted on the highway , love it !
Now I want to find a manual one for this summer
Totally, they are great cruisers!
Probably once a week I see a TL in daily traffic and it always catches my eye. Sharp car and relevant/modern now and this trim, color and condition is just so nice to see today. Future classic IMO and that's not too long from now.
Thanks Eric - I agree!
It's a gorgeous looking car, especially in Pearl White. I remember when the regular TL's were absolutely everywhere in the mid-late 2000s. Now they're virtually nonexistent unless it's a beater hanging on by a thread. Man I would love to have a garage full of classics Japanese cars, particularly Hondas or Lexus. I've always had a deep admiration for the 1990 Lexus LS400 for what it did to the luxury car industry. It revolutionized the way luxury cars were built thereafter. It gave Mercedes-Benz and BMW a run for their money and provided the luxury accoutrements that the Germans had with the added benefit of Japanese build quality and reliability. Same goes for Acura. That's why I have deep respect for both manufacturers.
Well stated CJ!
They're still mostly all over here in LA! Including my '06.
absolute beauty combination with wdp & cream interior
Agreed, it's a beautiful combo.
Absolutely beautiful car! I came across a White Diamond Pearl pre-facelift TL A-Spec with a 6 Speed and it’s now on my list of attainable dream cars.
That is awesome. I would love to find all the A-Spec goodies for this.
i can never find a clean manual type S in AZ ever!!! clean car!
Thank you
Absolute beautiful car Tyson. I'm surprised you don't own a second-generation Acura RL. I'm the proud owner of an 06 RL with 300K. Still an absolute dream to drive and a total driver's car. Love what you do and keep up the good work
That's one Acura I still need to own!
@@TysonHugie I highly recommend it. The SH-AWD is absolutely amazing, especially in the snow but, that's not something I think you have to worry about. 😉
I agree I havyan 05 RL and they are built like tanks compared to the TL. The RL and the 07/08 share same 3.5 liter engine and the 05 thru 08 seats r real leather whereas the TL Type S seats are vinyl 😌. Hence cracking. I’ve never seen an RL with cracked dashboard either. I’ve got 3 Acura’s. Huge Honda fan but now I wish I had a JDM Toyota JZX 100👍
Adding my 2c the 2nd gen RL (aka Honda Legend) is a wonderful built car; almost overbuilt. I do almost all my own maintenance and if you've been under one you stop and take in just how intense the understructure is. Also they can take a hit. In trying to avoid someone spinning out I hydroplaned and hit a concrete wall head on at about 50, spun out and slammed the rear, spun again and was facing oncoming traffic. Was able to put it in reverse and back out of the traffic. The passenger compartment was completely sound. Very thankful to the Honda engineers. Of course even though it is a ULEV car due to the weight and drive train I have only been able to observe 22-23MpG on the highway.
True, the 05 RL I have is sort of like an auto TL-S but more solid and the AWD really keeps it planted for a heavy car. Love the aluminum suspension and real dual exhaust too.
I love that generation TL. Very clean and well kept version. Thanks for sharing!
You bet! Thanks for watching!
Nice car dude, I'm on my 3rd TL-S / 4th TL too (all third generation). Just picked it up yesterday for $10K w/ 46K on it. Enjoy yours in good health brother!
Btw did you swap your interior bulbs? You're lucky all yours are still lighting up!
Congrats, you got a great car for the money. I haven't swapped any bulbs out!
I had a 2003 tl type s for 15 years, really miss those glory days for the TL from gen 2 and 3!
They were really incredible cars
YUP. i had a white diamond pearl back in 2020 except mine was an A-spec car.. 2008. black interior, but prev owner put red recaros from a JDM EP3 in. not a single crack in the dash.. ran a J37 intake manifold out of an MDX.. ATLP 3" full exhaust. Ktuned shifter. such a dope car! i've missed it the passed 3 years, so i just bought a 2003 CLS 6spd with only 60k mi.. here i go again!
Wow, amazing CL-S, congrats!
@@TysonHugie yessir, the original "S car" in America that started it all for Acura. as you know, one year only in 6spd.. production #s literally only in the 100s for 2003 6spd spec CL-S
It’s difficult to find these in this condition. Stunning. The G2 Legend will always be my favorite Acura, but the 04-08 TL is a very close second.
Totally agreed!
I also have a 2007 TL Type S w/6 speed only 96k miles. My favorite car
That is awesome! They are such great machines
@@TysonHugie agree!
Awesome pickup! I searched high and low for a manual one as a daily back in November and every example I saw was either already sold/pending sale or was too rough/not maintained well. Congrats on finding such a clean, low-mileage example. I'd love to see it in person soon!
Definitely! Good chance I will road trip this one to Utah soon.
No telling what this went for though in todays insane market
Beautiful TL, wish when I picked mine up I could've found a well maintained one with the 6-speed. My Type S had a little over 74,000 miles on it when I picked it up and now has 88,000. Love mine and it seems everyone who has one loves theirs as well
They are such great cars, still a good design 15 years later.
Wow, what a beautiful example of one of my favorite Acura’s.
Thanks Mark! Yeah I am glad I grabbed this one :)
That's really beautiful. They took great care of it. That design has aged extremely well. About the same hp as our 2017 Accord 6-6 and it's also a blast to drive.
Ah another accord username haha
@@xenonsaccord4447 Accord cousins
Agreed on all! Thanks Justin!
I had a 2008 TL. Unfortunately it was totaled. I miss it so much. This car was a car before its time. It has aged gracefully except for the seats.
Agreed, the design still looks good today
@@TysonHugie good luck with it. Should last another 10 years
What a gem! The moment you decide to sell....I don't think I've ever seen a white type s. I have a silver 07 with 134,000 miles and one of the best cars ever made.
That sounds like a beauty!
So clean! Love when cars like this are well-maintained.
Couldn't agree more!
always liked these. what a great example. they make me think of a spaceship from the rear. taillights as thrusters.
Very cool. Agreed, love the design!
It’s really nice, thanks for the quick drive in it yesterday. A fine example of a well kept TL Type-S!
Of course! Glad you got to experience this one for a few mins! Thanks again for the visit.
Really really clean TL, she is a keeper, also the mileage and it a 6-speed too! Nice!!!!
Thank you!
@@TysonHugie anytime man, I scribe to ur channel, keep the post coming
I'm the only owner of my 06 tl 6sp. Believe me, it's way faster than the auto transmission. Leave them by a mile. Still love and enjoy mine. Has 200k and still runs like new.
That’s an awesome ride
Pretty impressive for a 2007🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes not bad!
One of the best cars Acura ever made! A fitting addition to your collection!
Why thank you!
Dude, as another 07 TL Type-S owner, that is amazingly clean. Mine isn't and will never be clean like yours. Sitting at 274k kilometers, it's been up and down the entire west coast from Alaska to California, Nevada, Idaho, into Alberta and Saskatchewan in Canada and frequently makes winter trips into the harsh British Columbia interior and the occasional forest service road for hiking and camping trips. My Hands Free Link obviously died, and I get the silly "tighten gas cap" light but it's been a great, fun and reliable car. Also have the original delivery checklist and window papers in the owner's manual pouch! At the end of the year, it'll be replaced by a '23 Kia Stinger GT Elite. The new TLX Type-S really doesn't do it for me unfortunately. I'll definitely miss the Acura though; it was one of the best cars of the mid 2000s. Congrats on this clean purchase.
The Stinger is a nice replacement. Thanks for commenting, I’m glad to get this car.
Another great find from Acura's Type-S trim. Amazing condition. Tape decks and Fleetwood Mac 👍
Haha, right on! Love me some FM
Picked up the exact same spec as this yours but a 2008 with 169000km ( I live in Canada). Been lusting over this car for years and was finally in a position to pick one up. Mine has been well maintained really pleased with my purchase. Such a great car.
Very good, congrats on yours!
@@TysonHugie Thanks man, had it for a week now. Been driving a 2000 nissan xterra for 3 years so this purchase has been an absolute treat!
Oh man what a phenomenal car. One of the great Honda/Acura products out there. I drive an 08 accord v6 w a manual, but this is the top notch version
Great rides for sure
The car is elegant to this day. With its sonorous engine and great driving dynamics, this car is still desirable to this day. I do like the newer most recent example of the Type-S, but its not as dramatic and theater as the 2007 Type-S.
I like that assessment!
So mint, best part of it is that the dash is not crack😆
I know!
One of the most beautiful Acuras. It looks brand new!
Thanks Todd!
Very nice! I learned to drive stick on my dads 2006 TL 3.2. Such refined, powerful cars, congrats on that gem!
Totally agreed!
Definitely a modern classic! I love these.
Agreed - thank you!
What an incredible example! We have one in Moroccan Red Pearl (unfortunately auto) considering the age and the fact it’s a sedan it’s sooo much fun in the SoCal canyons. I think for now on I will always have one in the lineup. Congratulations!
Thank you! Also, Moroccan is gorgeous! Yours sounds like a real beauty.
All it needs is the A-Spec kit and it will definitely be perfection. Beautiful car man.
Agreed. Thank you!
When this body style of generation came out, I always loved the styling. My ex had the basic one, theirs was a '05. I also rented a '07 & '08 back. I know I'm going to get cursed out by Honda/Acura Family. But for me this was one of the most uncomfortable car I ever drove. 🤦♂️😆 The generation after that 2009 , although not a fan of that Eagle Beak Grill was a completely different ride. But this generation still has a beautiful style and has aged well.
Good points all around!
So fun to watch this because (1) I had this (almost) exact car...white (mine had an auto and black powder coated wheels and (2) I used to live in Scottsdale. Thanks for bringing back so many great memories.
Aw! Glad I could help with both of those!
Regrettably, I sold my 2008 TL Type S years ago. I miss that car. If you currently own one, enjoy it and keep it.
Well stated!
Great purchase Tyson. I absolutely love mine. I still get offers for it all the time. It rea has aged well and so well balanced. Keeping my 2008 TLS.
Awesome!
I wish my base model ‘08 was as clean as yours here. Love my TL
They are really great cars
Hey Tyson, just saw you on “Jay Leno’s Garage”. Like this video because I’m the proud original owner of a 2006 TL 6M w/navi. 145,000 miles black over black. She’s in great shape and runs great.
That’s awesome. Glad you saw the JLG episode! Your TL sounds like a real beauty! Send me a pic sometime.
fresh timing/water pump service... NICE
Right? On this car I don't think that's due til 105k
Nice Tyson! You've got a knack for finding these gems. Clever plate too!
Thank you, had to do it!
Sounds so good. Beautiful car. You're absolutely right about 04-08 the design aged well.
I knew you'd dig this one!
Welcome back to 3G TL. You are like the 6th person i know buying a 3G TL lately after they left.
Haha I couldn’t stay away
@@TysonHugie looks clean, i am glad you able to rescue this one. I like the last TL-S better tho.
Ah man I had an 06 TL 5-Speed as my first car. You've got an absolutely amazing garage filled with all of my dream cars 😂
Thanks Ben
Very nice. I came very close to buying a third-gen TL when they came to market in '04, but ended up with an '04 TSX instead. I had it for 15 years and barely had 50K miles on it when some asshole plowed into me at a stop light and completely totaled it. Straight hit and run. I never even saw the vehicle that hit me and my car was a complete loss. I was heartbroken. Stopped at a red light minding my own business. The sweetest manual gearbox of any car I've ever driven and super clean the day it was destroyed. I miss it to this day. I really enjoyed driving it.
The Acura's of that vintage were remarkably well-built and very fun to drive. I never had one issue with it. I'm also looking forward to the new Integra's. IMO, Acura kind of lost their way after the third-gen TL's and the original TSX's. Hopefully the Integra will bring the focus back to building enthusiast cars.
Enjoy your ride!
Thanks for sharing your experience, sorry to hear about that unfortunate accident with your TSX!
Love my 6 speed TL-S. Got it with 60,000 miles but now has 293,000....figured I'd drive mine as much as I can when Im not at the track and still looks like it has 60,000 miles :)
That's awesome, post a video sometime!
It looks so sharp in that colour. Congrats!
Thanks Rick!
Awesome find and addition to the family. And, of course, a great vanity plate! Sorry I never got a chance to see your TLX Type S in person. And I still haven’t seen one in the wild yet…
They’re out there! In fact my TLX-S is still in town and being driven by an enthusiast!
What a great example of what I think is the best year and model (TYPE S) for the TL! Enjoy my friend fantastic edition to the staple 👌
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for checking it out.
Love it. I got an 04 6mt with 220k running strong and in great shape still.
Awesome! Keep on rolling!
My daily is a 06 Base TL with the 6-speed. 240k miles and still a great every time I take it for a drive. It's been road tripped from St Louis to Seattle and back.
That's awesome! Keep on rolling
I will, and preach the manual transmission gospel everywhere I go.
That is a really nice looking TL .The manual transmission is a bonus. I have a 2004 Base Deep Green Pearl It runs and drives great with 180k miles. Thanks for the video Tyson.
You bet! Your TL sounds like a beauty
such a good and cool car.
Thanks, I agree!
82k on my 2008. Like you, I'm thinking i will finally let it go for the Integra type s
Nice, keep me posted!
Really love this car! I can't believe you even found one in this condition.
You and me both!
loving mine as well, was able to find a stock type s 6spd wit only 87k miles as well :) wonderful cars i have the type s lips ready to be painted as well
That's awesome! Post some videos of it
Oh snap! Identical to my TL. Congratulations!!!!!
Awesome!! Thank you
Wow this thing is clean! Have always wanted one but they’ve always been slightly out of reach for me…maybe one day
They are great all-around drivers!
Congrats on this gem! Beautiful inside and out. Been one of my dream cars for a while now. Currently have a 94 Integra 5 speed. Hoping in the near future to come across a TL-Type S as clean as yours!
Thank you! Very happy with this. Share some videos of your Integra sometime.
Wow! Amazing! Sitting in my 04 6 speed manual watching your video. Would love to own one as clean as yours one day. Mine has 225k on it and I look forward to driving it everyday.
That's awesome! 225k is strong
@@TysonHugie I'll be watching a year from now to see when-if you list it for sale haha. I'd keep that baby for years. Can't beat the feel of the transmission and the way these cars drive with the J series engine. I recently got a 1996 Acura TL 2.5 premium with only 100k miles on it while it's a soft riding smooth cruiser I prefer the 3rd gens sporty feel
Yeah, Buddy! This is what happens when you are the king of Acura's! Epic find, totally stoked for you. Put me in line for when it's time to let it go, please, and thank you!
You bet! Thanks Markus
Awsome video Tyson.
Thank you!
I've always been curious as to if you had a day job Tyson. I'd love to know what it is. 😊. Every time I turn around you're out purchasing another literal gem! I've always loved this version of the TL.
Haha yes I have a day job. Keep in mind I just sold my most expensive car, the 2021 TLX, so that freed up some resources. :)
@@TysonHugie ha ha! Oh I know you're not holding onto all of them but still! What do you do for a living?
The intro reminded me of your old coupe videos. love it
Haha flashback to tripod and Sticky Pod days
@@TysonHugie haha yes More please!
You lucked out the seats indeed. I had to warranty the driver's side seat when I owned my 08 TL-S. It started cracking with only a couple thousand miles.
Def gonna have to take it easy on these
I’m gonna be looking out for that Acura in St. Louis!! Hope it stays safe out here it’s a crap shoot every time you take a car out on the road.
It lives in O'Fallon, hope you see it around
Beautiful car
@@nytnapoli8327 Thanks!
Congratulations! Beautiful car. Such a timeless design. Liking the color combo.
Thanks Denver!
I Have same year TL, color, but base auto and it kicks ass I would imagine this one would kick more ass. Nice choice.
Thanks Thomas!
The condition of the car really speaks to the love and care that the owner had for it. Plus the fact that it isn't from the rust belt. Cars like this just don't exist in Ohio, unless they get garaged during the winter.
Probably very true. Thanks Mike!
Besides the Vigor the TL is one of my favorite
Def one of the most timeless designs!
Love this car! So fresh and clean!!!
Thank you!
Looking good, I have an '08 Base myself. Tan on Tan!
Beautiful ride!
It’s mint. Gorgeous!
I miss it! Sold this one a couple months ago.
@@TysonHugie i’m not sure why the algorithms do not let me know when you have a new video uploaded.
Great car for a great person some one who really loves the truth....
Thank you!
Prettiest design to come out of Acura, IMO
Definitely!
That's rare to see one without cracked seats or a cracked dash!
Agreed!
Same exact as mine, except mine is a Base TL lol. But I have the body paint mudguards and it goes so well.
That's awesome! Looks good
I'm amazed the cup holder cover isn't broken? Wow! Great find!!
Haha yes! I noticed that too
I have a 2005 TL 6 speed manual red. Everyone wants to buy 😂🤣🤣🤣 the answer is no. Love that car and it have the navigation in it too.👌👌
That's awesome, keep it forever
The rear bumper was not repainted. Paint on plastics fades at different speed than on metals. I have 08 TLS WDP, same issues. Front bumper color is off too.
It was confirmed repainted, but I know, sometimes the factory paint is a mismatch. My ILX is that way.
Please make more content on this car. One of my favorite cars from Acura
Thank you, will do!
I have an 07 TL with 97k miles but it's an automatic. Would love to have this one in such good condition and especially the manual
Sounds like a great TL!
@@TysonHugie It's ok, but has the cracked dash and wearing out leather seats. Not a garage kept one. But it's reliable and with car prices so insane today, gonna keep it in spite of flaws.
Great car! Hope you're enjoying FM and Dire Straits with the ELS Audio. I love both of the artists, huge Dire Straits (Mark Knopfler) fan! Enjoy all the cars in good health!
Awesome! Great taste in music!
Damn near perfect. I’m not sure if I have ever seen one cleaner.
Thank you, I'm pretty happy with it!
Always love your collection
Thank you!
