Wow, 145k miles on a 99. I thought I had a lot of miles (52,000). Tell your friend that he can find a better deal on a TL w/a whole lot less of miles. Transmission problems have came up for the Tiptronic transmission, and I can start to feel my gears slip in 1st and 2nd. Though the problem is mostly among the 2000 and on models (5 speed transmission).

Well my car is a '99 as well w/52,000 miles on it. If you check on (www.kbb.com // Kelly's Blue Book); my car is worth about $15,000 for a dealer trade in and it's worth about $18,000 for a private trade in. For about $11,000 on a '99, a reasonable mileage would probably be anywhere from 60-80k miles. But that's just what I think. :p

The Blue book value of the car your friend wants to buy is $13,750 so $11k is a good price.

but thats alot of damn miles, personally, i would not buy a vehicle, no matter what kind, with 145k miles on it.....
I think it'd be worth it to pay a little bit more for a TL with less miles, just for peace of mind.

I just know its a pos!!! I saw it the day the dealership got it and was just curious how it sounded and the car started up rough and I played with it inside for about 5 minutes and just knew the car wasnt right. Oh and by the way my friend knows your friend I think. The car is for a girl right? and she works at Cigna healthcare right. If Im wrong my bad

Yep the guy in the millenia is my fake brother
, We both wanted a TL for the longest time. I have had mine for a year now and he cant wait to get a TL. I do know for a fact my man has told your friend not to buy the tl. I am posititve that tl has been abused. 145,000 miles in 3 years is a bit much. I have 38,000 miles on mine and its a 99 + The dealership she would buy the car from isnt the greatest. Tell her good luck but stay away from the 145,000 mile car .
