Advice on TL 08 please.

Good afternoon guys, i'm currently in the market for a car. I've found a pretty decent priced 2008 TL around where i live. It will be my daily driver, the car has 55k one owner clean Carfax, it always has been serviced at Acura dealership. It is also priced at 10,977. I have some questions regarding the car, how reliable is the transmission on the 2008? Do you guys think it is a good deal? Thank you in advance.

very reliable, you shouldn't have to worry about the trans on an 08. 04-06 were the bad ones.

look for a type s in that price range. Mileage really isnt a problem for us tls. Just make sure you change out the cats if it has higher miles. But for 10k, id be in the market for a type s!!
