16k mile 2008 TL-S For Sale at CarMax

https://www.carmax.com/car/18691267

See above. This is one of the lowest mile pristine examples I've ever seen, besides another NBP with Taupe Interior that had 6000 miles in 2014.

Should go quick. The price is decent considering mileage and condition. Poor J35A8 probably sat most of its life in a garage, probably owned by an old person too lol.

I see that you still keep an eye out for a Type S on the used car market...

The question is who is gonna pay 18k of "non negotiable" price for 11 year old car? I get it's in great shape and all, but still 18k is quite a lot.

What's the point? All the value (and that's subjective) is in the low mileage, use it as a daily driver and you're pissing money away in depreciation.

Joke's on you, I've paid less than my TL-S in maintenance because of a combination of knowing a mechanic/who is now a buddy, and working on it myself for simple jobs like fluids.

Oh yeah, it's not my daily. I daily a C300 and NA8 Miata

Lol, as nice as this car is, good god, I would never spend that much for a twelve year old TL-S Auto. I was pulling out my own teeth spending 12K on my '07 three years ago. Hard pass, if it was a '14 I'd be considering it.

Agreed, hard pass, but if it was a Type-S 6MT..., yeah, I'd be all over that like white on rice.

the passenger seat doesn't look like it's ever been sat on impressive!! funny people talking about the price, this will have no problem getting sold, some people have no problem spending that for something they value or have emotional attachment to. i agree if this was a 6mt it wouldn't even be available right now haha

depend on how much the potential buyer willing to pay, there are two MT TL recently listed at $19k and $18k and they are now gone. Proof that it will take long to sell but it will be sold.

Carmax must have changed their model not setting out anything older than 10 years on their lot. Curious if this was a trade or purchase, cant believe given how stingy Carmax is on value using auction values that the PO got a good deal.

Depends on color, mileage, condition and if any records. The sticks are drawing stupid premiums on sites like AT and Cars.com etc.

When I bought my non-Type-S (a 2006 6MT), I probably paid three to four thousand more than a comparable automatic 2006 TL, and after looking at roughly 100 cars, I was happy to pay what I paid.

Have been reading a lot about vales for Type S 6sp MT going over $20k. Looking for someone to make me an offer I can't refuse.

Original owner of a '07 Type-S, MT, black exterior, grey interior. Have all maintenance records from delivery, has 255k, miles and still running strong. Best car Ive ever owned, but need something a little bigger like RDX, MDX or ES350.

What would be a reasonable price to expect?

At 255k, $5k is fair - though a typical used car lot would advertise for $8k.

I would keep it though, if you have room to store it. Try to break 300k miles!

I just bought my 07 with 67,500 for 12K, still needs some cosmetic love.

Still love my TL. Recently bought some Firehawk Indy 500's for it.

This guy put out a review just a few days ago, he loves it too!

Flipper? no I didn't intended to flip car for a living or side cash. I bought the MT SSM because I want to see what the MT hype is all about, beside it was stupid cheap with no crack dash and rip interior, what I am saying there are always demand for 3g TL and they are still pretty hot in the used car market.

FIY for the past 2 years any 04-06 MT TL listed in my area sold for what the asking price with a cracked dash and tore up seat. Generally speaking about $4000-$6500, now are they selling within a week? no. But they are sold.

It's super common to find 12 year old Corvettes, Vipers, Mustangs, etc with low or very low miles. But the boring wrong-wheel-drive sedan TL, and especially the TL Type S, are so incredibly good at daily driving and (I hope to experience this soon) road trips that low mileage ones are accidents.

Yet a 4th white-over-2-tone auto TL-S has popped up for sale locally to me. 179k, ad actually has the honestly to state "needs some mechanical work". Yawn.

Still keeping an eye out for unicorns. It is grim to fully consider, but as COVID-19 thins the ranks of humanity there will be nice cars popping up for sale that surviving relatives don't have a use for.

While that's true, on a less grim note, those who lost jobs and need to pay essential life bills will also be off-loading their toys/or even a bit too pricey DD so that they could get some immediate cash to help with life needs. Extremely unfortunate but certainly will be a quite nice market for those who are fortunate enough to take advantage of these opportunities.

edit: And for those who are more well off, there will likely be screaming deals to be had for new cars and probably lightly used higher level sports/luxury cars that people will want to offload as their financial situation worsens....maybe cars like the NSX/R8/911/Corvette/etc. that could be coming to the market

I might aim for end of April or May....some project peak of the virus to hit within next month or so....from what I've read virtually all car sales are deemed non-essential business (only service dept of dealers are open) and this may be shut down for quite a while. March sales reports will be bad...and April willl be even worse. It's going to be very hard on the car sales industry in general.

I don't know how bad the dealers will want to offload....but I would imagine there will be incredible deals once they do let some businesses open back up.

Thing is I'm getting dealer emails now that they are unable to sell any car even if you want to because of the lockdown so it's gonna be pretty crazy few weeks now....

Here's hoping for a mint condition NSX for $50,000 or a mint S2000 for $10,000.

Indeed. I think alot of moderately costly sports car like a 1st or 2nd gen NSX, S2k, etc. could be had for good deals since these are more likely to be owned by the working class and this crisis could hit lot of them hard and some of them might need to offload them to help with cash flow needs. Upper tier cars will unlikely be that much cheaper IMO due to this likely not affecting the much more well off families nearly as much.
