Buying a TL From an Auto broker

Has anyone here had luck finding their TL with an autobroker? As with all Acura's, a TL with a decent amount of miles on it for a good price is extremely hard to find here in Colorado. Looking for a 6-speed doesn't help.

I know HM Brown and Centennial Auto Leasing out here- both have pretty good reputations, but they must be busy because I am having a hard time getting them to call me back. Has anyone used one of the national autobrokers online or through Costco, or anyone else that can go to the manheim auctions?

Any advice would be great.

Bump

Since it doesn't look like a lot of people have gone through this route, I will report back my results. I am currently working with a guy at HM brown, wish me luck! Hopefully manheim has something good for me.

Auto brokers have access to the large Manheim auctions that dealers often get their cars from. They can usually help you get a much better deal, and have access to a much better selection. If they can't find what you are looking for, they don't get paid. Also, if they find a car at a dealership you like, they can negotiate a better deal (a lot of these guys are ex-car dealers).
