In 2007 they switched from the original TL's transmission to a RL based one which is much better.

Both the TL and TL Type-S receive an all-new 5-speed automatic transmission for 2007. With a 4-shaft design with higher torque capacity, it is more robust than its predecessor, but also more compact. It also features slightly revised ratios, new shift control logic for each model and Grade Logic Control and, on the Type-S, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Mechanically related to the transmission that made its debut in the 2005 RL, the 2007 TL unit has modifications to adapt it to the front-wheel drive TL platform.

Very few failures have been seen on the 07-08's compared to the 04-06.

Wouldn't be too bad if I got it for 10k?  Cause 07 ones came with foglights and back up camera.
Been looking for type-S, but they run almost double. |
That one looks pretty clean but these cars require a big maintenance at 105k miles replacing timing belt and water pump. At a dealer people say its at or around 1k to do. At 102k miles its getting pretty close to that so just keep that in mind.
Little things but in the ad it says its got the a-spec lip but it doesn't seem like it in the pictures
