Buy Tl From Carmax Or Acura Dealer???
My girlfriend is also trying to purchase a TL (used), but there's no Acura Dealerships that has a used TL that matches what she's looking for. However, Carmax has a good number of them. Should she just go ahead and purchase a used TL from Carmax or wait indefinitely for an Acura Dealership to get more?

If the car is still under factory warranty, I would buy from Carmax anytime. I have co-workers and friends that have purchased cars at Carmax and they vow to only buy their cars from them in the future. There are a few drawbacks...
1. They don't negotiate. The price listed is the price you pay.
2. Her loan interest rate may be higher than buying a CPO from Acura on a Acura program.
3. If you buy a CPO, the car comes with a factory warranty to 5 Yrs/62500K miles and a powertrain warranty to 7 Yrs/ 100K miles.
Good luck.

I ran my credit last month and pulled a 816. Honda of American (who acura uses) gave me a 7.94% rate and that was their best case rate.
using my own credit union I was able to pull in a nice 4.9% loan.
right now the rates are high outside of credit unions.

Depends... American Honda Finance often runs special interest rates for Certified Pre Owned Acuras. You can sometimes get 2.9-4.9 on tier one credit depending on length of the loan.

Let's say she does buy it from Carmax, can she get extended warranty from an Acura Dealership? Will it be a little different since she didn't buy it from a Acura Dealer (the warranty that is)?
