I'm contemplating buying a used '02 TLS with 35K on it. Now here's the deal, it had the tranny replaced at 22K, it has 4 brand new tires, and is a certified Acura used car. It carries the 7 yr 100K warranty on the powertrain. The dealer wants $22,800. Is this a good buy? Or should I stay away from it?

I think you should be able to get it cheaper then that.......but wait for some other peops opinions too.

What do you drive and did you buy it new? I've looked around and I can't seem to find any that are close in price. All the dealers seem to be stuck on themselves (like their $&!? don't stink)

Does it have navigation?

Black2K2

No, but it has the Spoiler and their protection package.

What am I missing??? I booked it out on Kelley's and it comes in at $27,700 ...

I think the fact that it had the tranny replaced brought the price down. I think $22,800 is a pretty damn good price. Maybe you can see if they can get you out the door at $23k or something. I think that may be pushing it as they're already selling it well below the blue book value....

OMG...I knew that our resale was screwed, but I didn't expect to get bent over THIS bad...I drive an 02 TL-S with Navi and about 26k on the clock...ugh...we got RAPED.

it's a damn good price. i would personally go for it.

Thanks for all of your help, I decided to go for a new one instead. I got an '03 with spoiler, splash guards, and wheel locks for $29995. How did I do? (No Nav)

Wow. That price seems low. I got $22,500 for the same thing, but with 49,500 miles. (Mine had mods, but those do not usually count)

I think you made a great choice - I would have gone for the new one too!

Hey.....where in St. Louis are you from? Which dealer did you go to? Dave Mungenast or Frank Leta? I have a '02 ABP TL-S by the way.

this is me

This is just my opinion on this.
once the tranny been replaced, i wouldnt buy it.
who knows when the tranny will blow agian and this time you might be doing 85 on the freeway:wow: :wow:
i would stay away from it if i was you.
Instead i would put in another 10k for a new one or paying for an older one with no tranny issue at that price.

good luck!! if you planning on buying the car!
