Pop that thread cherry girl

People are picking up type-s with the same or less miles for not much more then that these days.

I would shop around a while.

 

And find out more info.......

 

You're 21, don't finance. Buy a cheaper car (one you can afford).

It depends on the year...you said 2004-2008. If it's a 2008, 16K may be reasonable, if it's a 2004, no way.

 

welll im still looking around but most TL have 75-100k miles buyt they want more that 15k for them

 

Shop around. I was looking for a low miles loaded TL for a month before I found the one I bought. Most of them had 50K - 100K and they were asking anywhere from $15K to $20K. I found my 2006 TL w/navi with 37K miles for $17K. Patience is a virtue.

 

nice very good deal and yes ima be patient and wait till i get a good deal for the 17k thanks for u guys help

 

i got my 07 tl-s with 74k miles for 17k

 

I bought my 06 6MT with nav and 39k miles for $17k in Jan 2011. There are better deals out there. Keep looking

 

Bought mine with 88k miles.

 

If your car is in great condition, then you got an AWESOME deal that doesnt come around too often.


Keep looking Kid.
Go to CARS.COM and do research
Best of luck to you

 

I bought my 07 Type-S with 58k for $21,000; took me almost 3 months to find.

 

I bought my mint 1 owner 07 TL-S with 61k miles for $21

 

I wouldn't let the mileage concern you too much when looking for a TL. Try to infer from the previous owner the best you can how the car was taken care of and really really look over the exterior condition of the car. If everything looks good minus the obligatory rock chips on the front bumper, pick it up. You can always respray the front bumper and have it looking brand new for under $300.


Also, I think the concern should not lie with how long the car will last in terms of mileage but more so how long do you want to be driving the car, because in terms of the powertrain it will definitely last you a long time.

 

hey you guys i found one 2007 Tl with 39k miles for 22k its fully loaded nav rear cam side marker mirrors foglights in very good condition 1 owner it also has warranty what do you guys think should i jump on the deal???

 

TL or TL type-s?

That's a good deal.

 

Type-S or not it sounds like a great deal, not even 40k on it.

 

Keep in mind taxes and registration and what not will drive up tht price. I bought my TL-S 37k miles for 23.8k after talking him down from 26k. All said and done with papers, fees, and what not I paid around 25,8 and still added about 2k for an extended warranty. I'm sure u can talk him down some. When u test drive the car, go thought the cars messages to see what all the car thrown out. (ex. Tighten fuel cap message)

 

High miles are less of a concern if you are able to work on your own car and have the tools and skills to do so, than if you are going to pay a mechanic $80/hr plus marked up parts to do every little thing.

I just paid $12700 plus taxes/fees for a 2004 TL 6MT with 120,000 miles, but I am good with tools and electrical troubleshooting, I have a PDF of the factory shop manual (and I know how to use the search function on this site!!), and I either know how to do almost anything to the car myself or I know how to find out. So I will spend way less $$$ maintaining an old car than somebody who has to take it to a shop for preventive maintenance or every time something goes wrong.

As cars age, stuff *will* fail. You have to assess how much fixing you can do yourself and how much you will have to pay for, and then look at car mileage accordingly.

 

Bought my 07' nav rear cam CPO and all with basically the same mileage for 23k after tt&l.

Do it

 

i went to the dealer today im 21 and they were shocked about how good my credit score was and i was able to get it financed myself i gave 2000 down and was aproved 6.99 apr for 60 months i will pay 400 a month will post pics soon

 

Ouch... 6.99% is pretty high. I'm 21 and I financed 15k with 3.24% which I know will vary state to state but I still think 7 is too high even for 20k finance. I did my financing through a bank though. That might explain it

 

I bought my TL 4 years ago with less miles for $12k.. nah mean.

 

04 auto non-navi, 115K for $10K. I wouldn't pay more than 12 for an 04, regardless of mileage.

 

Ouch, you got gouged bad. Have fun with the $400/month payment for a 6 year old car. I hope you at least got some what of a warranty.

Agreed, it's damn high. My credit score is in the low 800s now after completely paying off $15k in student loan debt. When I financed originally my interest was 5.4%. It was adjusted and refinanced for 1.9%. I'm 21 also. To top it all off, I financed through Huntington Bank and I have hardly any proof of income though I do make a great living and own my own business but wasn't able to show proof because of writing the majority of my income off as business expenses.

 

it was 6.99 nut i think i got lower rate you guys think i should go to a bank and get a loan????

 

well at 6.9 you are paying over $3500 in interest

 

I'm at 6.69%, some of us don't have 15k laying around in cash, no choice but to finance. I plan on modding till I'm happy, then doing close to double my monthly payment. that way it's paid off in under 5 years and I save money on the interest charges.

 

Like a sommmmb0000deee, dat duh toooo much m0nee.

 

Not saying you should get a loan through a bank, just suggesting you explore your options. Check out different banks and see what kind of interest rates they offer. And don't tell them you've got 6.99 from the dealer. Keep that to yourself. Once you find a low rate, then go around notifying other banks, maybe even dealership to see if any one can beat that lower rate. My finance rate started at 3.74, with the competitiveness of the dealership and the bank, I was able to get the 3.24.

 

Pay off car first and then mod.

 

i don't have 15k laying around either. what i am saying is that someone that has good credit should not be getting 6.99!! i got 3.9% on my tl and just refinanced to a 1.9% with a credit union. that = more $$ for mods

 

Paying off the car is > importance than modding, I don't know why people go out a buy a new STI or WRX then immediately modding it and add more debt into the list of monthly payment and then later bitch when their car got repo because they don't have any money left to pay for the monthly payment.

here is a little story I like to share to OP.

thanks guys well see what happens im waiting on bank approvals but its kinda hard thos because im a first time car buyer lol but it will be lower than 6.99 thats for sure but the car is worth it its an o7 and look brand new with no scratches fullyloaded and 39k miles 1owner and has full warranty

 

I'd shop around more to see if you can find one with lower miles.
