I'm thinking of selling my 2002 TL Type S and I'm not sure what its worth on todays market. The Kelley Site calculated its worth at $22,550.

The only thing that is not considered in the Kelley price is the 100k warranty I purchased from Acura when new.

Here are the facts:

50,050 Miles
Acura maintained with all records.
100K extended warranty from Acura
Original owner
All Stock
Garage Kept
Original trans, never a problem, recall photo of gears at 45k service was like new, and they added gear sprayer per recall.
During the 45k service, I was told the original front brakes have 55% life and the original rear at 30%.
Tires have about 10k of life left.
Excellent Shape
Never in accident or speeding ticket so you know it was driven respectfully.

I noticed a huge variance in the prices in dealerships and I would put this car against anyone of them.

Any experts out there???

 

Depends. Luck of the draw. There was a SSM 2002 TL-S around here with 35K+ that was sold for 24K.

 

I only paid 22.4k for my type S w/navi in feb of 03, 28k on the odometer. and that was before the TL got a big fat red X on reliability(powertrain) from many sources.
Good luck trying to get more than somewhere between KBB trade-in and private party sale price.

 

That is what I figured, somewhere in between trade and retail. Regarding the trani problems, I was pretty concerned when the news hit the fan, but after I saw the pictures of my trani from their probe type camera, I was very releaved and surprised. I expected signs of burned and chipped gears.

With a clean bill of health, I can't figure how I got by the trani problem everyon else seems to have.

Maybe the car will explode at 60k instead.

 

I sold my '02 Type S with Navi, actually i traded it in. This was back in Jan of '04 and I got 21K from the dealer.

 

Well that sounds great, but I guess they were not very neg. on the price of the new car.

 

how did you calculate 22,500 at KBB?? for some reason when i price my 02 TL-s with 46k (less than yours) i get like 18,000??
does anyone know what the OEM kit will add to the value of the bluebook price?? thanks

 

my dealer just quoted me 23,000 for my 03 type-s for a trade in for a 05 TL. I only have 15K miles on it with

 

Do you have a NAVI? I'm curious as to the trade in value for '03 as well as the 05 are looking nice, but I can't stand to lose too much on the trade...

 

non-navi

 

I would assume it would add next to nothing to the value. Consider it's a $1000 option, so take about 25% of that for resale value.

Consider it a value add for a potential buyer, but not something you will expect to recoup at resale.

 

Sell it own your own, bump the price for the mods and the ext warranty and you're done. Don't think of trading it. You'll lose out that way for sure.

Check NADA.com also if you haven't already

 

I calculated the KBB based on their retail price, the trade in value was around 18k if I remember correctly.
