- Join in on the fun as we achieve a milestone in a well-maintained Acura TL Type-S 6-speed manual that belongs to my friend James. Thanks for celebrating with us!
One of my favorite acuras. My neighbor, who’s almost 90 had this gen TL up until recently. This is a lady who lives in a $6+mm house and could buy any car she wanted, yet she drove a 15+ yo TL. She must have loved that car.
She def gets it!
I felt like a King getting an 08 Type S right out of highschool. Kept it for 10 years. Rock solid. Miss that car.
That's a pretty sweet car for a recent college grad
That’s so awesome! This past December I sold my 08 TL Kinetic Blue Pearl. Had 222K miles on it. I can’t express the love I have for this car. The look, the color, design, performance were all things that made me grab mine. To me, this era was peak Acura. The RDX, TSX and even MDX were all great looking cars.
I’m glad to see it’s kept stock. It always bugs me seeing people who have modified it heavily. Beautiful car as it is.
Agreed this was definitely a high point for the brand!
Just hit 235k in my MRP 6MT as my daily, never selling it. Keep her running until the wheels fall off. Welcome to the 200k Club.
That is awesome, glad it's still doing well!
Congrats James! I just hit 220,000 miles on my ‘07 TL Type S in Alabaster Metallic Silver in automatic. Absolutely love these cars! I also remember we used to drive around that area for fun when we lived out in Phoenix. Good times!
Good stuff! Congrats on your 220k!
86k on my type-s. I use the CD player all the time, and also have a cassette available for fun as well!
Very nice! Low miles too!
Those wheels will never get old
Such a great design
This is great 🎉 I screamed when it hit the 200000. It gives me great joy and confidence that I will be able yo have my car just as long!!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Same here! I've had my 2013 Tl advance for 2 years now on June 30th. I got it at 94k miles and it now has 137k. Got it pretty much pristine mechanically and esthetically. It was a California car originally. I've been taking great care of her and she runs perfect still.
Nice video, Tyson. I've owned an '06 TL since 2007, and it's by far the best and favorite car I've owned. It's no longer my daily driver, but I still drive it several times a week during non-winter months (Illinois). 110k miles; Redondo Red with camel leather (dash still Intact).
That's awesome. And, I'm in Illinois as I type this. Been touring Chicago today.
@@TysonHugie hope you enjoy your visit! Chicago is fun and alot happening this month.
Congrats James🎉! Here's to many miles more 🥂
Agreed, thanks Ty!
What a clean third-generation TL Type-S for 200k miles. Congrats James!
Definitely, and thanks!
Protect all rare Clean Acuras at All costs! That red is sharp!
Definitely! Agreed
I just love this car so much. Mine turns 16 in July coming up on 35 000 Miles.
Congratulations on 200k miles!
Wow low miler!
Best car ever ! mines at 187,000 and runs amazing I love acuras!
@@SensationalShorts awesome!
Congratulations to James on rolling 200k with his gorgeous TL-S! Great to see such a cool survivor of one of my favorite Acura models of recent memory.
Tyson, is there anything you miss about the TL-S that you owned for a bit?
Oh yes lots of things. The driving experience was great, and I liked the ELS audio.
Congratulations James on the milestone! Love the color of the TL!
It is such a cool color for sure!
Just picked up a silver 07 Type S at 114k, incredibly well kept, no dash cracks, and leather seats intact! Mechanically she drives like a charm, hoping to keep her for the long term. Love the look of these.
@@brettmedina24 Nice, congrats!
Beautiful car in and out
@@ericcasanova thanks
What a treat! Beautiful car and beautiful location!!
Thank you!
Beautiful classic! Congrats James and thank you Tyson. 👍🏻🇺🇸
You bet, thank you!
This is one of the best cars ever built & I see them everywhere here in Jersey. I've had the 12 TL, 18 TLX aspec, & now the current 21 TLX Type S, & even though all my cars were new I always appreciate a well kept car that has alot of miles on it
Awesome rides!!
Great music, and even better editing. We really appreciate the hard work and effort, it really shows! Cheers
Hey that means a lot, thanks Chris
Such a cool video. Cool sticker and certificate that was awesome, I want one of these cars so bad
Haha they are great cars
Great content, wonderful looking car! Happy 200k miles!
Thank you! He'll appreciate that
Congratulations, James!!!!
Thanks Thomas!
Fabulous color! Beautiful car! 💕 Congrats, James!
Agreed! Thanks Penny!
Cracked dash has entered the chat
Haha yep
Beautiful car and color. Congrats on the milestone!
Thanks for watching!
This was a fun video. Congrats James. Beautiful red car. That FLW house was interesting to see.
Definitely, thank you!
One of the few cars I really miss, my 08 TL-S. I know that I wrote it down in your guest car log book, haha. Fun fact - the driver's seat cover started cracking on the perfs shortly after I bought the car new. Thank goodness for the warranty!
Haha glad you made the log!
My first new car experience was with an 04 TL 6-speed in Anthracite Metallic with the OEM body aeros. Loved that car!
They are such great cars
Such a clean TL-S! ❤
Agreed! Thanks sir!
Looking great at 200k! Now onto 400k 😎
Woot woot! Thanks Brad!
Beautiful car. I have a 2011 Acura RL technology package, going on 166,000 miles. I owned a Acura TL 1997, Acura CL 1999. I absolutely love Acura's.
Excellent, you have had some great taste in rides!
@@TysonHugie I hope you still have your Acura Legend coupe. That car is a diamond. My cousin who introduced me to Acura's owned I believe a 94 Legend. Absolutely ahead of it's time in many automotive facets. And thanks for the thumbs up.
What a great car. Thyanks Tyson for thr video. BTW, my Ilx is about to hit 100k and nothing, except for tires and wheels, has broken!.
That's awesome! Keep on going
Beautiful! Still miss my '06 6MT 7+ years later. It was the longest I ever kept a car for (8+ years) and the last manual daily I owned. Sold it with 145k with next to no issues over the 65k I added on it. Time will tell how my '18 SH-AWD fares by comparison.
Awesome, pretty cool you kept your TL that long!
Just rolled over 150k on my 07 MRP TL Type-S A-Spec. Unfortunately its gotten some door dings being my college car and I had to rebuild the engine due to oil burning. Ill never let it go.
Hang onto it! Congrats on 150k
Very nice Tyson! Looking good as usual! Tyson, do you have any of the original Demo CD's that came with the TL's back in the mid 2000's?
Haha yes, I think I have a few of those!
256k on my 2005 TL STILL RUNNING STRONG AND IN GREAT CONDITION CUSTOM DESIGN
That’s awesome!
My twin! Wish mine was manual though. Ultra rare
They are def getting tougher to find with any transmission!
12:43 hopefully James doesn’t see this, don’t want to ruin the fun for him, but AkChUally the 2010 Lexus SC430 was the last car to offer in dash cassette player, and 6 disk CD changer. My mom just purchased an Indigo Blue SC430 to compliment our IS300 sport cross, 342k miles ES330, and GS430.
James TL is stunningly gorgeous! Love that he uses the cassette and CD changer, the sound quality is SUPERB when I do the same in my Lexus’s, they all have Mark levinson audio.
I was thinking the same thing about the SC!
Awesome video as always Tyson 😎
Thank you!!
that's a beauty! What does a 18 year old TL WITHOUT a cracked dash even look like?!?!?!?
I sold mine in December and it didn’t have one!
Haha for sure
I’ve got a 08 WDP TL-S w/ 152k miles and dash still intact 🙌 😮💨 Looking forward to another 150k!
I'll be flying back to Phoenix this weekend. Is there anything on display at the acura dealership you frequent?
I’ll have a 1993 Prelude in there
@TysonHugie oh awesome if it's the one from the previous video I'll be pumped
Which dealership is it?
🔑Another clean example!
It is, thanks!
I still have my 95 Black on Black Legend LS and Black on Black TL-Type S. Just wished they were 6 Speed Manual, But still love them any way.
Wow that's a great couple of cars
@@TysonHugie wish we could post pics, but you are right about TL Seats. Wile my legend still has original leather, the TL leather cracked early, although my dash has no cracks. LOL Knock on wood, but still need to find good replacement leather for TL.
Nice.. My 2nd Fav Acura.. No Acura can match the 2nd Gen Legend 91-95!
Some great designs right there
The MRP with the black silver interior is the rarest color combination
I wonder if we could ever get actual production numbers
@TysonHugie I emailed about Type-S 6-speed production numbers and they claimed not to have any available information. But the MRP was the rarest one to see on the road back in the day. The majority of the MRP had the taupe interior.
I have a 2005 TL black ,spot less with 132K runs like new no cracks great car
Awesome ride
270HP and it runs its A…s off
Wonderful
Thanks!
Oh yeah? FYI, The online car dealer CAR GURUS has a 2021 Honda Accord Sport Special Edition for sale with 201,478 miles on the odometer. Asking price is $14,900 btw. 😳No joke. It is listed in the Cincinnati Ohio area. Another testament to Honda quality and reliability, even with the much doubted 1.5 turbo in the 10th generation Accords, which by the way is actually a decent engine with plenty of power for your highway drives, but it's also very fuel efficient. I highly recommend this car, if you're in the market for a good used vehicle. 😉👍
I know this is a channel dedicated to classic Acuras, but hey Honda and Acura are related so I just put in my "two cents." 😏
Thanks for sharing!
Very nice TL. 👍
Agreed - thanks Eric!
Had a red 2004 Acura TL 6 speed manual. Drove it up until 250k miles and let it go. Only problem it had was a bad A.C compressor
Nice, that's cool you made it to 250k!
@@TysonHugie Yeah. I stay in contact with the new owners and it's at about 275k miles now. If they take care of it like I did the car should have no problem reaching 400k miles
137k on my 08' UA6. Got it at 55k miles, first car, been 6 years. It's going to take a higher power to take me away from my TL she's a beauty.
@@rolo4733 that’s awesome!
I have passion for acuras parents had 1992 red 2 door legend and today I'm driving 2012 Acura TL love it. It's been amazing car I've always kept Up on all scheduled Maintenance.
This is a great Car :) is it type 2 with awd ??
Type S FWD
@@TysonHugie very nice ;)
Traded my 07 TL-S for a Tacoma back in 2017. Need a second car for commutes and nothing new is interesting (or affordable). Kinda want a TL-S again 😁 Just wish it had bluetooth.
Tacoma is a great ride too!
I would love to know what repairs he has had to do in his ownership.
I will have to put together a follow up story/vid on that
The automobile owners residing in the state of Arizona are so lucky to not have to put a front license plate on their cars.
Many years ago now, that's part of the reason I picked AZ to move to.
Definitely agreed
Any suggestions (from anyone) on dash cover mats for 05 tsx?
I wonder if Cover Craft makes one
@@TysonHugie thank you I’ll look them up..
I have 2013 lexus rx 350 now at 96k miles
Im dreaming to be at 200k miles
What i did
1.change oil every 4 months
2.change coolant every 2 years
3.change batery when needed
4.change tires when needed
5.change wiper blades
You are on the right track
@@TysonHugie i like videos like this to appreciate the things you have until the wheels fall off
I love my TL but if I hit the wrong hole the tires are terrible I've popped a lot of them
Wonder what brand tires you are using
James knows what he has and enjoys the real driving experience of shifting gears. This was the pinnacle of Acura engineering - after this gen, the TL quality went downhill imo.
I def prefer this car over the 4th gen! Thanks for checking it out
Doesn't really look like it has its miles. Weird to think that one day I'll roll that on my CL-S 6. Currently at 185k but I don't think I'm going to be rolling that thing anywhere close to 200k for years to come. She has hit the 300,000 km Mark so as a Canadian, that's high enough mileage to start preserving it more
Your CL-S should def last a very long time!
Just picked up Mr red with comptech blower and exuast
Nice!!
Is a 2009 Acura TSX with 239,000 miles worth 6500$
Hmm, maybe! I wonder what the maintenance history is like.
Hello people I have a TL type S 2007 manual 6 speed
That I will like to sale it
It has 106k very clean car is in my porch
I’m in San Francisco Bay if someone will like to see it
I’m not turning sure how much I can get
Any ideas $$$?
I got some pictures.
@@juverreyes1336 Sounds like a beautiful car, what color?
@@TysonHugie silver
Awesome great car with crappy cracking dash and cheap leather seats that don't last. Too bad because I'd own one by now. Fixing the dash would be a big deal for me. I'd not be able to look beyond it. Other that that, congrats on hitting the milestone!!
I think the driving experience is worth looking past a couple cosmetic things
@@TysonHugie It has been my fear of buying an TL of this generation. I drove a 6 speed Type S and it was amazing. I might still yet buy one but would look into the possibility of replacing the dash if cracked or yet to crack. Truthfully the seats can be easiliy recovered.
Acura was never able to top this, it was all downhill after this gen TL.
Def a high point
Too much the automatic transmission ones were made of glass
The 2nd gen automatics were pretty bad but I thought the 3rd gen were okay
