Hi all, I'm selling my TL as it gets little use, and I'll be moving fairly soon.
It's a 2004 with 210k miles.
6 speed manual with the front Bremno Calipers. It's known as the "Type-S" of 2004, since they didn't make a type S that year.
It's in great mechanical shape, and I would drive it anywhere. In fact this year I did and took it from Columbus Ohio to Montana for a week to hit a bunch of ski resorts I've been wanting to try. Side note- I did that spur of the moment trip because a surgery was coming up and rehab was going to be long... I don't suggest trying to drive it through huge mountains in snow storms, but it does great in Ohio lol.
It comes with a stack of maintenance records starting at 7k miles. My brother owned it since 50k and took good care of it, and I have owned it since 163k, and I have replaced A LOT of parts.
Recent Maintenance:
Always up to date oil changes.
Trans drain and fill with Amsoil at 183k, GM synchromesh at 200k.
Full suspension refresh at 198k. Includes Megan Racing EZ 2 Street coilovers on all 4s, new front upper and lower control arms with all new bushings and ball joints (using Sanskrit 555 lower ball joints), rear control/toe arms, all new hardware anywhere I replaced a part, and finished with an alignment and balance.
Timing belt, water pump, tensioner at 197k.
6 spark plugs (NKG Iridium), 1 ignition coil that looked suspicious, and new PCV valve at 196k.
New front tie rod Ends (passenger at 195k, driver at 141k).
Moog sway bar end links at 193k.
XLR8 engine torque damper at 193k that cleared up any jolting on acceleration as the OEM was shot!
Draw Tite trailer hitch (I think good for ~150lns tongue weight- I used it for my mountain bike
New Sentry UHP tires at 184k (well that's not so new for tires but I do like them- they balance well, have reasonable traction, and are quiet).
Faux leather front seat covers around 170k. The originals were falling apart.
All this, along with all the usual fluid changes, brakes, etc over the years. As I said- stack of maintenance
$3k to a GRMer, located in Delaware Ohio.
Next post will be blemishes, I just fear this post is too long!
