Salvageable Sedan: Performance at Its Best
In October of 2022, the Acura TLX Type S PMC Edition was released for sale in three different shades: Curva Red, 130R White, and Long Beach Blue. The production was restricted to a mere 100 units for each color variation. Unfortunately, a Long Beach Blue model of this high-performance sedan is no longer accessible, but there may be a chance to restore it to its former magnificence.
The initial cost of this specific vehicle was $63,995, inclusive of destination and handling charges, upon its delivery to the first buyer. This made it approximately $7,500 pricier than the standard TLX Type S. However, the sedan endured significant harm to its front section. Based on the accessible images, there appears to be no serious impairment to the engine compartment, indicating that the car may be repairable with minimal inconvenience.
Based on the listing on Copart, the estimated retail value of the exclusive TLX Type S is $51,709. This indicates that the car has retained much of its original value despite being involved in an accident. The overall condition of the car is listed as “Run and Drive,” which is a positive indication that it could potentially be repaired and put back on the road. However, it is currently not open for bidding and there is no announced date for when it will be available for sale.
To reiterate, the PMC Edition lacks any mechanical modifications compared to the regular TLX Type S. It utilizes the identical turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine, producing a maximum of 355 horsepower and 354 pound-feet of torque. This power is distributed to all four wheels through a 10-speed automatic transmission. A team of skilled technicians, who also assemble the NSX Type S, meticulously crafted this vehicle at Acura’s esteemed Performance Manufacturing Center in Ohio.
