I am looking to buy a TL for my wife. I came across a '02 type S w/o navigation today and would like a little input on it.

The car has 85k miles on it. The car was purchased 4/01 according to carfax. That averages out to about 2400 miles a month. I am assuming it is highway miles.

Is there anything that I should be worried about with that many miles? Any common problems that I should look for?

What is a good realistic price for this car? Edmunds appraises it at 17,153 trade-in and 20,182 retail with the miles.

that many miles leads me to believe also that its most or all hwy miles, which are the best miles a car can have. i guess try to find out what type of maintenance it has had done to it.

IMO....dont do it. Though the TLs are awesome cars, the trannys have issues. Acura covers them till 100K. U would probably hit that mark in a year.

there is a very low chance of the trannie actually going if it hasn't gone already, check the past records for the car and MAKE SURE there was not a trannie replacement already done. if not get the car, it's an amazing ride and I highly reccomend it to everybody I know!! TWO THUMBS WAY UP!!!
