As far as I know, there is no real difference between the two.

No difference, and no problems other then the pads with the Brembos don't last very long, and complaints about the brake noise.

^^^ It all depends on the year of the car and mileage on the car.

i would say thats a good price...make sure its got a clean title as that price seems about 5k low......my car has 35k miles on it and the dealer offered me 22k for it...i believe my car to be worth more like 26-27k...

Is it a Certified Pre-Owned Type S?

Grab it-for sure.

I just bought a 2007 TL Type-S WDP with 35k miles for 27k OTD which included a whole of warranties and goodies. Bought it Certified from an Acura Dealership. Was that a good deal?

4yr/50K warranty is still good. That is a good price. If it was everything that I wanted, i sure wouldn't let the price of the car stop me. Check and double check the car, carfax, paint and body -- then pull the trigger. You can always find an AcuraCare Extended Warranty after the fact.

Prices are all over the board. The local Lexus dealer had a 2008 WDP TL-S with 10,000 miles and was having a hard time moving it at $27500.

Find a car that you like, make certain no mechanical or cosmetic issues, and if the price is in the
ballpark and within your budget, buy the car. No matter what you pay, someone will always say that it was too much.

Nobody charges you to look at a car.....that's crap. And who keeps cars in a warehouse??? If a dealer has a used car for sale-it's out on the lot.

haha it's never right to tell someone to fck off but if someone said pay me 1k to LOOK at a car I'd definitely tell them to fck off. One of the most ridiculous things someone selling you something, can say. lol
