Nope. Same as any used car.

Same thing you'd look for with any used car. You won't have a major tune up until 105,000 miles.

Look for stress marks under the hood and under the car.

I found a pristine WSP type S w/50k miles for $18k. The frame under the hood had stress marks from it being bent in a collision.

Test drive with the radio off.

What they asking?
That's exactly the amount of miles I have on my 07

FZ427

They are asking $18599.

truonghthe

That is too much for an 08 base tl.

96SC4

^^^i agree
i paid $17,000 October 2012 and my car had 38K miles at the time...

your in type S territory with that kind of $

Unless of course, IT IS a type S you are talking of.

Make sure it's got the appropriate 2008 parts on it...wheels, bumpers, headlights, taillights, things like that. People like to switch out parts and return to stock when selling. Just my opinion.

FZ427

Around here there is a 2008 type S with 83xxx miles for $18999.

Paid only 4.5k more for my 6mt Type S with 4,900 miles last summer. Like others have said, that's too expensive IMO, but really you have to be the judge of that. If you love the car and its worth it to you then absolutely go for it!

FZ427

Forgot to say car has navi.

TacoBello

Look for an engine under the hood. If there isn't one there, I'd be a little concerned.

i have same car and i would definately look under hood at the front end, to make sure it has not been wrecked but if it has, was it repaired with factory components. a car is still ok even if it has crashed as long as it was repaired correctly. my 2 cents we have an 08 type s, also i have a spare motor and tranny and cluster from another 08 type s i bought crashed for parts. need any help or insight give me a shout!!!!! goodluck

FZ427

Just got home from the test drive, car drives nice but dealer won't let me take it to the freeway, paint looks good except for normal scratches for a 6 year old car, no dents at all, everthing looks original, tires are brand new but unknown brand, oil of engine and tranny looks fresh, every panel has the original sticker with the vin number, the inside could be better but with some detail will be Ok, passenger front seat leather has a small crack where you seat. Around here every 08 TL that I see with around 80k plus miles they go for $15000-$16000, I just saw one with only 34xxx miles for 19900.

TL-GIXXER

If it's any indicator, I live in Phila., and I bought an 04 base TL a couple weeks ago... For $14k, but it has 16,000 miles on it.

^ show off

TacoBello

That's a rip off price. For almost 19k I'd expect a near flawless vehicle.

FZ427

I know it is not flawless but around my area that is the price of this TL-Nav.

TacoBello

Hey man, it's your money, but I'd say you'd be better off travelling somewhere and picking up a cheaper TL in the same condition, or a nicer one for the same money.

What area are you in, anyway? Seems crazy expensive for that car.

FZ427

I am located in the San Fernando Valley, around 20 miles north from downtown Los Angeles, CA.
I saw another one 40 miles away from my location black on black not my taste for $19900 with 34xxx miles, another one for $15900 with 83xxx miles, the rest all are with higher mileage.

truonghthe

For the same price you could get a type s at that mileage, Cali car price is ridiculous, may be you should start to looking out of state vehicle and get it ship back home, plenty people in the forum found their car that way.

odd that the dealer wouldnt let you on the freeway.

TacoBello

That to me sends off warning bells. If you can't hit cruising speed, it's like the dealer is covering something up. Many vibrations don't happen until you're doing 65mph .

FZ427

That's what I told the salesperson, she said dealer policy. I walked away.

FZ427

Just to keep comparing prices, saw another with with 81k miles for $15900.
