I know what you’re thinking “Oh boy..what an ugly beak nosed Acura TL”...BUT WAIT!!
wait..what’s that thing right there?
that strange lever
OH...
Anybody know how many manual TL’s of this generation were made? I know the previous generation didn’t have a high take up rate, outside of the Type-S. This dealer in JC apparently has 4 or so of them on its lot.

Based on the amount for sale on Autotrader, not many. Currently there are only 27 manual SH-AWD cars for sale.

Unicorn for real. My cousin wants one of these middle of next year so I promised him if he did I would help me detail it.

You better be committed to drive it till the wheels fall off. Because that car will be impossible to sell later.

this is where I would expect the Reverse to be. When I put the Allroad into reverse I put it into 6th instead.

You know, I thought this was going to be true when I sold my 5MT 6 wagon. Turned out I was worried over nothing, dealers offered fair prices and I got plenty of hits on the private side as well. Apparently there's enough folks who seek out even boring commuter manuals to maintain the market.

That dealer always has cool cars. When I was looking for my 335i they had tons of manual cars for sale. I would love a manual TL. Would be a reliable and decently fun daily driver tank. That interior is pretty nice too!

This dealer seems like a unicorn farm! I mean, they have a TL with a rear entertainment system and a manual TL with white leather seats and a modified grill.

My neighbor actually has a Black on Black 6-speed TL of this body style. It’s in beautiful condition as well. So there are at least a few out there. He also taught me stick on his old 04 TL.

Confirmed: I have a 3G manual tl and I absolutely love it!

You know you can modify the grill?
I own a 3G manual tl and love it

The color of these seats is also pretty awesome.

I like the white one - it has 34k less miles and someone already replaced the truly awful grille with a slightly less awful one. The baseball glove tan interior of the one you posted is pretty awesome, but not necessarily 34k more miles awesome.
My parents live a 10 minute drive from their Avenel location (I remember driving past it when it was a Land Rover/Range Rover dealer, so maybe I should give it a test drive.

That color combo + manual + awd = perfection.
I rather like this white manual with the better grille.

They are sweet rides, have any problems with it? My neighbor just hit 120k in his.. He isn't really a car guy but he says it just feels so solid he doesn't want to get anything else.

I would change the grill and drive it till the wheels flew off!

I haven’t, but my car is a family car, I’m the 2nd owner, it only has 50k on it right now (with a 10 year old car). It has been maintained based on time (as opposed to mileage) since new, so its pretty well kept.
