Any problems with the six speed with this many miles?

Drive it and find out. Run the rpm's up and shift quickly to see how engagement might be in each gear.

kicha

will do. I pick it up tomorrow. The dealer put a new clutch, new tires, and did all of the recalls. Silver w/ gray interior

Does it mean you already pretty much bought the car already.

J-STEELE

Oh wow, how much did you get for it? It's a great car regardless...

PEACE!

kicha

Picked it up for 10

If that is the case, you should be good. The clutch would be my only worry but if it has already been replaced, the only other thing to ask about is the timing belt.

kicha

He said his tech pulled the cover off and the belt looked good. Water pump appeared to be replaced. Looked as if it had been done around 100k.

I would be skeptical that this tech really could tell/even checked the waterpump and belt were replaced. If you want a sale, of course you are going to say, "oh yeah we checked them out they look good."

congrats though on a good deal, just makes me depressed to know how little the value of my car is

piggydog

hold it one second. Every belt looks like that, ever seen a broken belt, except for where it broke all the other parts look like a good belt. Also the guy just pulls the valve cover he can only see like 20% of the belt so he'd need to crank it to see the rest.

Only had my TL for a few days, but the hood doesn't seem like it has a lot of access. Is everything hard to get to?

Send me a PM I might be able to help you with a VIN check, if the TB was replaced at a dealership it should show.

kicha

I never realized how many features this car had. Makes it a great value even without NAV. Im pretty happy with the purchase except for all of the torque steer but ill get use to that.

I own a 04 6-speed since 2007 with all original parts and it feels like new...Bought it at 100km, just turned the 170km If the transmission is good then you should be good! Make sure everything is in shape before paying!!!

Good luck!!

piggydog

Suggestion, bought an 04 Tl 6spd in Dec. Local dealers did not have the server records, but by using the locations from the carfax, called the dealers in that area and was able to get the service history from the original owners dealer.

kicha

Cool thanx

Dude the Type s MT sucks for traffic, it always burns the shit out off the clutch, I feel because the the car is so heavy!!


Anybody else feel this way, and also how long until the clutch actually starts loosing power!! I already have 50, 000 miles and my car is brand new, but they are all pretty much highway miles. Somebody at the dealer told me it was like $1900 for the clutch!!!

hey piggydog,
i'm in the market for a 3rd generation TL. just wondering if someone could help a newbie out. thats a great price kicha got, looking for something similar however i'm interested in a automatic looking to spend in 10K to 12K range. would you be able to get me an internet mmr report for auctions like you had mentioned so I can get an idea of the prices as i'm trying to get the best deal. also, i'm located in the NY area but willing to travel to find something good. appreciate your willingnes to help. if you could email me at hkny79@hotmail.com

piggydog

This is the internet mmr prices for 04 TLs with navi a few weeks ago. Gives you somewhat of a baseline. In general a lot of the 04s at dealers are auction bought. You can even reference it by VIN. They are buying it for 10-12k avg? And they are trying to selll them in the 15k+ in socal. Transporation and the little things they do don't add up more than about $500.

If they bought it for 10.5k + 500 fix ups + 1k profit. I say offer them 12k even if they have listed at 16. Don't have a lot of time now adays but I'll get around to look at NY. Or offer someone with a dealer's license a suitable deal. $400 is fair. You save thousand and he gets an easy 400

TLCrave

hey thanks alot piggydog, its a great help. I will definitely try your advice when bidding on cars but sounds like i could get a great deal finding a dealer and going to this auction. So i've heard they have acura off leasing auction events. Is that what you suggest? Right now looking at 2006 TL with no NAV and 90K going for 13000 at a used dealer lot. is that a good deal or you think i can get something better, possibly with lesser miles and possibly NAV for the same price off these auction? would appreciate it greatly if you could give me the internet MMR report on an 2006 TL. thanks in advance.

vipernj

10k?!? Thats a lot for that many miles. I got my 05 6spd w/navi with 84K on the odo for 12K. I found a whole bunch for this price actually!

damn.... too bad vegas is like 10435h3o miles away from mobile, al =[

kicha

Yea but you live in a diffrent area. You let me know if you find a deal like that in the mid west??? They must not be as popular here or they sell for more.

vipernj

Actually, here in NY they were terribly priced. I mean they wanted $13.5k for a non navi auto with 123k on it! I found the car in Detroit, Michigan. Flew out and drove it back. What kinda condition is she in?

kicha

Just found out she needs brakes soon but other than that not bad shape. Seats need to be treated. Wheels are loosing clear coat but thats not a big deal im planing on painting them. I dont know it must be the current market. I searched a 500mi radius and only found maybe 5 six speeds and this was by far the cheapest. All at dealers. I almost gave up and bought a auto till i found this one.
