This Rare Acura TLX Type S Needs To Be Saved

When it went on sale in October 2022, the Acura TLX Type S PMC Edition was available in three colors – Curva Red, 130R White, and Long Beach Blue – and limited to just 100 units each. Now, a Long Beach Blue example of the performance sedan is no longer on the road, but you might be able to return it to its former glory.

This particular car had a starting price of $63,995 with destination and handling fees when it was delivered to its original owner. This made it about $7,500 more expensive than the regular TLX Type S. But the sedan suffered major damage to its front end. From what we are able to see in the available photos, there’s no structural damage to the engine compartment, which means the car might be reparable without too much hassle.

According to the listing on Copart, the estimated retail value of this limited edition TLX Type S is $51,709, meaning the car has kept a lot from its original value despite the accident. The overall condition is "Run and Drive," which is another good sign that the vehicle could be restored and returned to the road. Unfortunately, the car isn’t available for bids at the moment and there’s no sale date announced yet.

As a reminder, the PMC Edition has no mechanical tweaks over the standard TLX Type S. Power comes from the same turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 with a peak output of 355 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. A 10-speed automatic transmission sends the power to all four wheels. The vehicle was handbuilt at Acura’s Performance Manufacturing Center in Ohio “by the same master technicians who build the NSX Type S.”
