I paid $12,000 in January of 2003 at a dealership. It had 81,000 miles and included a 2 year warranty from Acura. It had EVERY accessory, even pin stripes and a 10 disc CD changer in the trunk.

It was previously owned by an older gentleman who took EXCELLENT care of it.

BTW, its a 3.2 w/ premium package.

I bought my '98 3.2TL brand new in September of '98. The sticker was $34, but I got it for $31.5. It has been the best car I have ever owned.

I got my 1996 2.5TL a few months ago with 166000km on it, pristine condition (driven by an old asian couple before me) for $12900 Canadian. Meanwhile one of the guys me and my other half know bought a new sunfire for $16500. That thing drives like garbage and the seats are so uncomfortable. I told him starting NOW, my TL would probably outlast his car.

I bought my 1997 3.2 TL in April 02 for $14300 CDN w/ 126000 KMS (Got it Wholesale through a friend). Is only just now giving me problems but they are all wear and tear esp. considering the way I drive the car (HARD). Still love it and although I miss my '98 Integra GS, this car has everything I need (minus of course and available stick).

1996 3.2 TL Premium with 99700 miles on it for $9000, got it July of 2003.

It had a lot of paint chips/damage on the front and rear bumpers (no actualy body damage), and just the bumpers. That took an aditional $2000 to fix.

Haha...sorry Ken, wasn't trying to rub it in man. I just got lucky and got a helluva deal on a helluva car! Resale has DROPPED large since I bought it though with the new one coming out now. But Oh well, I don't really intend on getting rid of my TL. Prolly end up keeping her in the garage and getting something else. That's when work on the Legend V6/ 6 spd Manula w/ turbo can begin.

In march I got my '97 3.2 TL with 98,000 miles on it, a 3 year, 45,000 mile warranty for 10,500. The added warranty was kinda spendy, but I think my tranny is going to go out before then. I hope it does.
