I've been lurking here for a long time, and I'm finally ready to purchase a TL. I'm looking at a used certified 2006 TL (no navi) with 14,000 miles. I'm looking for ideas on what I should pay. I've done searches but only come up with what you guys paid for new 06's. According to Edmunds TMV this thing is still worth $30k, but you guys were paying less than that for an 06 NEW. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I bought my certified 06 TL w/ Navi (9k) last November for $29.5k. I'm sure you researched till your eyes bleed because I surely did. The dealer tag was $33.8k (outrageous) but after 4 hours back and forth I finally got the price I was willing to pay.

Sites like http://www.autotrader.com were good to show comps in the area as a bargaining chip. Fortunately, here in the SF bay area there are plenty of acura dealerships. I would target mid-$20k's w/o Navi now but that may depend on supply and demand.

Good luck!

I know you have been lurking for a while but I would make sure you take a good look at some of the nav vs non-navi debates. Very few of the nav owners regret the decision of getting nav. On the used side, i would think that the cost delta is now below $1K. just my $02. Good luck!

Get the navi, you won't regret it!! Even if you never use it for directions, it makes it so much nicer to navigate through the audio menus, and I think that it makes the entire cabin look cleaner.

I got a '06 non-navi demo model with 5,000 miles in December. I paid $28,000 for it. Even though it's a demo, it still counts as new because I'm the first owner. i would imagine a certified should be a little lower now. For a navi with 14,000 I would think $27,000-$28,000 would be fair. Non-navi I would think you could get for $26,000-$26,500. Don't be afraid to leave the dealership. They want to unload the '06 models as soon as possible.

Actually, I'm very aware of the nice navi on the Acura's. The reason I started visiting this site about 4 years ago because I owned a 2004 TSX with Navi. I loved the Navi but hated the car...that thing had more rattles than my newborn son!

Anyway, I am considering one with a navi, it's just that the color I really like (silver) doesn't have it.

They have the Carbon Navi listed at 31k which I am considering. But they are going to have come WAY down from 31k!

Well, I've changed my mind, I'm going to look for a certified used TL with Navi. Sounds like I should look to get one (06 model) for around $28k?

I just picked up my 06 WDP 6MT w/Nav for $28,5k. The car had 43mi. on it so I was rather excited about that considered we're in 2007. I had a great experience at Pohanka Acura in Chantilly, VA. If you're in the area I highly recommend them.

I'm assuming you are the first owner? In this case I might be able to get one with 15k miles on it for $26 to $27k...

gomezine

dont pay more than $26k. i paid $28800 for a brand new 06'.

Volrus

With Navi?

gomezine

i paid that price without navi. but i think you can get an 06' for $26500K with navi.

Volrus

That's what I'm going to shoot for, but they are asking around 30k for one and I don't know if I can get them to come off $3500. We'll see.

i got my Acura TL 06 NAV only 15k mile for $28.5 include everything

lil12002

Bklyn02TypeS

where are you guys located? In nyc I am thinking about getting a 07 with navi for $31xxx... thats with out taxes..

Volrus

I'm in TN. Sounds like $28k out the door (TTL) might be the number to shoot for.

Was that certified?
