Default Looking for some help finding a car

I'm looking for a 2008 Acura TL Type-S (auto, navi). Black exterior and the black/silver interior with the Type-S wheels. I'm not having any luck with dealers and the closest private seller is in Pompano Beach. Any and all help is appreciated.

I know this should fall into the "Cars for sale/wanted" section, but I'm more so looking to be pointed in the direction of a dealer, I don't suspect anyone on here would be selling one of these themselves.

I've tried every Acura dealership in the general area and they have searched dealers throughout the state with no returns. Either they don't have black interior or aren't the Type-S or are a Type-S and don't have the Type-S wheels.

Definitely not settling or compromising with anything. I'll try the Ferman Dodge dealership, thanks!

Srsly? I'd hope that anyone with the ability to access the internet would search the most obvious sites before making a post on here. Cars.com and autotrader.com are the first sites I visited. I've used all the sources I have available to me and have been able to find 2 within 250 miles.

Once again, if anyone can point me to any dealers or private sellers you know of, I appreciate it.

if ou plan on modifying it at all just get the color combo without the ts wheels since more than likely you will upgrade, then go on the forums and find the stock wheels for cheap.

well if you can't find one within 200 miles, change your criteria?

Not "planning" on modifying it. Also, I think I'm over the black exterior. Of course I plan on keeping the car as pristine as possible, garaging and/or using a cover, but black is much harder to maintain than other colors. Plus the features on the Type-S stand out a lot more on the white and silver.

Thanks for the help, heading out to some dealerships today.
