Last summer I picked up a 2008 base / nav with 34k orig miles. The same week I picked it up, I immediately had the timing belt / water pump service done by a Honda dealer, and had new tires installed a few weeks later. As of now, the car has around 39k miles. It obviously doesnt get driven much, and my wife would really prefer a suv. I love the car, but I'm also not giving up my truck. What does everyone think its worth? KBB and NADA are about $1500 apart... one being around 10500 and the other right around 12000. I have more into it, but I also paid above KBB / NADA when I purchased it, because lets face it... there are not many TL's with that kind of mileage and condition out there. Its in great shape, but not perfect. It has the typical driver seat bolster wear, and the rear bumper has some marks. Dash has no cracks.

 

You could definitely get more than that. I paid 14k for my Type S with 120k miles last year. It's super clean.

 

$9150 is auction value. Dealer retail is suggested at 12800, but average sales range is 7300 to 10500. you have certainly put some money into the car but the truth of the matter is that not much money goes into the purchase price from maintenance done. It's certainly helpful during selling but you won't get an additional 2K for timing belt job. You can always list the car and see what folks offer.

 

I realize I won’t recoup maint money out of it, I’m just wondering if I list it around 14k if that’s a crack smoking price. Lol

 

I think the low mileage justifies the premium

 

Have you seen if BringAtrailer or carsandbids want it?

 

I had that idea but didn’t know if it was unique enough for being a trailer.

 

I'd list it for as high as you want and see what happens. The market today is wild and theres someone out there willing to pay top dollar for something they really want. Like not for nothing but new cars have a ridiculous mark up. Some north of 30K... Whatever you do, don't list it on Facebook 3rd gen groups. They are still living in 2019 and think everything is worth less than 3K, no matter condition or mileage.

 

Bringatrailer probably not, but I have seen several TL's on CarsandBids

Here's another automatic for comparision. https://carsandbids.com/auctions/35XaR4BR/2004-acura-tl

 

Yeah that’s the last place I’d list it. Lol. The for sale page aggravates me to know end.

 

Awesome low mileage TL! I would post it for 14k and see what happens. Its the last MO of the 3G TL. These are fantastic cars. anyone wanting to drive for 20 years can easily get that out of this vehicle.

 

After 18 years and 360,000 miles, I can easily get out of mine due to the traffic, the XM signal cutouts, and the especially price of premium gas.

I understand Acura is readying an electric SUV for 2023 or 2024 release.

Get the electric Acura, but keep the 3G? Would be silly to get rid of your TL.

 

I couldn't part with a car after that long. It's basically a family member at this point

 

Not a type s, is it at least 6 speed?
10-12k sounds realistic.
Privately sold type s 6 spd last dec for 9k, about 163k. Dealer offered me 6k on trade in.

 

I would put it up on CarsandBids with low miles like you have. You can set a reserve.

 

Those pull hella money rn tho

 

It provides a good laugh though. 🤣

@eyecandynsx Put it on Cars & Bids if you don't get it sold locally.

 

Good laugh or contemplating becoming an alcoholic

 

Update… have it sold for $14,500 without really even advertising it. Threw I feeler post on my Facebook page and had a ton of interest because people know I take care of my vehicles.

 

Wow, I wish the Canadian market was this strong for 3rd gen TLs.

 

Congratulations! That car is a gem. I hope the new owner pampers it!!

 

Congrats!

 

Grats on the sale Eyecandy!

 

Well, it was a sad day, but it’s off to the new owner.

 

Looks like the buyer is having it shipped... I'm guessing the car was bought by someone who will really will enjoy the car and appreciate it!!

 

A good friend of mine actually bought it who lives in MD. I’m in PA. It was just easier for him to bring his trailer up and get it.

 

I consider mine a Type-S. After all, the '04/5/6 6MT was the unofficial Type-S for those years.
.

 

You've got that TL Sport!

 

Yea never mind that whole 3.5 vs 3.2 garbage...heavy sarcasm but that's pretty much true they were basically Type S's to me...

 

There are good things about it. Like the TL-Sport harmonizes with the Comptech S/C better than the Type-S.
