2003 Acura TL 3.2 Type-S

This 2003 Acura TL Type-S is a rare gem, combining low mileage, exceptional condition, and the performance-focused features that set the Type-S apart. With just 64,163 original documented miles, as verified by a clean Carfax report, this is an extraordinary find for enthusiasts and luxury sedan buyers alike. Its pedigree is further enhanced by a clean accident-free history and the fact that it has only had two owners since new—the second of whom took ownership in October 2018 and meticulously kept it until just recently. Adding to its appeal, this TL Type-S has resided in California since new, benefiting from the state’s mild climate, which helps preserve vehicles and protects against the rust and wear often found in harsher environments. This TL Type-S is finished in an elegant White Diamond Pearl exterior, complemented by a luxurious Parchment leather interior. The pairing exudes sophistication while staying true to Acura’s reputation for understated refinement. The attention to detail in the Type-S trim is evident throughout the cabin, from its premium materials to its driver-centric design. Under the hood lies the 3.2-liter SOHC PGM-FI 24-valve V6 engine equipped with Acura’s legendary VTEC variable valve timing system. This powertrain delivers 260 horsepower and 232 lb-ft of torque, ensuring effortless acceleration and robust passing power. Coupled with a 5-speed automatic transmission with Acura’s SportShift manual mode, this sedan provides an engaging and smooth driving experience. The sport-tuned suspension, stiffer springs and dampers, and lower ride height further enhance handling, making this TL Type-S as confident on twisty backroads as it is comfortable on long highway stretches. The TL Type-S isn’t just about performance—it’s also packed with luxurious features and advanced technology for its time. The interior offers perforated leather seating surfaces, heated front seats, and an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with memory settings. The Bose premium sound system, complete with an in-dash 6-CD changer, ensures an excellent audio experience for all passengers. Dual-zone automatic climate control, a power moonroof, and a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel enhance comfort and convenience. Safety remains a priority in the TL Type-S. Standard features include Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), traction control, anti-lock brakes (ABS), and a suite of airbags, including front and side-impact protection. These technologies contribute to the TL Type-S's reputation as a secure and reliable choice. Finding a 2003 Acura TL Type-S in such outstanding condition, with low mileage and a history as clean as this one, is becoming increasingly rare—especially at this price point. The exclusivity of the Type-S trim, combined with its balance of performance, luxury, and practicality, makes this vehicle a compelling option for anyone seeking a premium midsize sedan with enduring appeal. Whether you’re an enthusiast looking for a collectible Acura or someone in search of a stylish and powerful daily driver, this TL Type-S delivers an exceptional value proposition.
