I am thinking about purchasing a 2005 TL with Navigation. It is a lease return with 32K miles. Grey color with black interior. It was leased in Colorado Springs and is now in Dallas. The asking price is $22,900. Does anyone have any comments about this price? Is it a good price? Should I pursue a 2006?

Any comments are appreciated.

Thanks

22.9K.. NO!! that's even above Kbb Excellent Private Party and fair market value...

Off-lease means they made good money from this car and beware of this salesman statement:

"off-lease means the previous owner / driver had to have taken care of the car, otherwise they'd be in big trouble and we wouldn't sell it."

Offer 18K or 20K with at least a 1-2yr Acura extended mfg warranty. The dealer makes the most profit from off-lease and trade-ins. They at least made 18-24k on the car already.

You have the bargaining power... be prepared to walk away from the car... you may get a call within an hour of leaving the dealership!

>> Beware to those who Have to Get it NOW!! <<

It may take you 2 months to find the right car at the right price. Be patient. Otherwise you'll pay thousands more.

Don't buy Auctioned Vehicles!!!! Think about it: If Acura auctioned the vehicle, it means they didn't want to sell it on their lot.. somethings wrong.. (burnt fluids.. faded brakes.. undisclosed accidents) I learned this the hard way..

Good luck on the car search..

Many cars are auctioned at one point or another, if you are in the market for used and avoiding all auction vehicles, you aren't going to have many to chose from.

Is the 05 a CPO vehicle with the extended warranty/ and or are you buying from a private party ? Does it have any extras like the A-SPEC kit on it? How is the exterior & interior? Have any links to pics? Auto or M/T?

Welcome to the forums BTW!!

Below is a link to the vehicle. Their is no extended warranty on the car. No A-spec that I know of. Exterior and interior looked great. It has new brakes and new tires. Again below is the link, and thanks for the input.

Car looks clean and unmolested for the most part. I would offer 18k.

I also have been shown a 2008 TL with Navigation. It was a car the Acura dealer used to loan to people while their car was in the shop. It has 6800 miles. They are asking $29,800. Bronze in color and dark interior. What would you offer?

I would offer 19k and see what they say. I don't think it should sell for more than that.

You can buy a brand new one for that price. Plus, I wouldn't buy a loaner....especially one they loaned me.

To the OP...Offer $18K.
