I just picked up a 2004 Black TL with 77,000 miles original owner. I have all the dealer service records and it was very well maintained following the recommended services...
There are a couple of issues that enabled me to get the car for what I consider is a very fair price. The paint is oxidized on the roof and driver's side upper door. The dash has a few cracks, and the driver's seat leather is cracked (although it is covered by a nice seat cover...)
Other than that, the car is in excellent mechanical condition. It drives and feels like new. I was wondering if I should have it resprayed in the original black and what that would cost me. Also how much would it be to get the seat fixed. I guess I'll be calling around Monday. I also plan to tint the windows soon...
I am an experienced mechanic so I will be changing the tranny fluid with the mix I read about on here, and getting those 3rd and 4th pressure switches done too. I did read that the fluid was changed at 33,000 miles with Z1?...Also it was called in for a 2nd gear tranny recall whatever that is?...
Anyways, I plan to read all I can and make sure this baby lasts for many years to come...
