So im in the market for a car and ive always liked the TL but dont know much about them i found one for 10k has 126k miles and was looking for some input. Its 100% stock 6 speed and the interior is immaculate is there anything i should consider or watch out for or is this a good buy?! Thanks in advance for the help.

 

Read through all our subforums, there are tons of threads that will show you all the problems this car encounters! The more posts, the more people with the problem '!

 

Sure.

 

it's a used car.
you are going to be looking for used car things.

Does it track straight?
does all the electronics work?
does it shift nicely?
does it drive nicely?
are all the tires in good condition?
does the A/C work?
Does the heater work?
is the alignment good?
is the body panels straight?
any paint issues?
does the sunroof work?
does the car pull in every gear?
are there any leaks?
does the radio work?
does the navigation work?
How does the interior look?
any funny noises upon startup?
did the seller change the oil?
can you get your hands on the carfax or any records indicating it was well maintained?
etc

 

I love these threads. As my law professor would always answer questions....it depends

We have no pics or link or other details to provide solid feedback
Have you been able to address each of Justins points to your satisfaction?
Do you have skill to turn wrenches (you a DIYer) and can handle fixing what needs to be fixed?

Heres a good start...per Thoi's post...

You should check out my post a few days ago on when I was considering buying my 2007 type s hahaha =D i went through same worries like you and just said fuck it and brought it

 

OP is this the one located in NJ? I'd say it's a good deal. If you'd like a Carfax report I can hook you up.

 

Get the VIN and carfax it.Check to see if WP/TB was done.At THAT PRICE FOR A M/T ITS GOOD.IMHO

 

Did you buy the TL-S?

 

check to see if the timing belt was changed already... check the service records to make sure routine maintenance was done.

shifting smoothly
how well does it ride?
shocks / struts ever changed?
overall look
brakes
oil
bluetooth working?

carfax it and see whats up. if the timing belt wasnt changed i'd drop the offer to 8k, 125k miles is nothing
