Can anyone give me advice on a used 04' TL purchase?
Hi everyone. Just need to know if this is a good deal or not. I'm about to purchase a used 2004 TL, since my 1999 was totaled out by my insurance.
Pros
2004 NBP TL with ebony (love this combination)
Navigation
A-spec kit with wing
55K miles
Very good condition.
Cons
Not an Acura Certified used car (where would you recommend to purchase an extended warranty?)
A little curb rash on 2 wheels.
I've talked the dealer down from $27,955 to $23,400.
So for $23,400 + TTL. Is this a good enough deal?
Thanks in advance everyone!

If you're buying it from a dealer, they can usually certify it for you for a little extra money if you ask. If they say they can't certify it, that would send a red flag in my mind about the car.
It looks nice though. Good luck.

Thanks for the replies.
Carfax states this is a one owner lease return.
I'm purchasing this from a Nissan Dealer, so they can't certify the vehicle. From my understanding, only an Acura Dealership can. Can i do this or extend the warranty from any acura dealership? If anyone has done this, please share.
I forgot to mention, it's just the a-spec front,side, and rear kit. Does not come with A-spec suspension or wheels.
Certified = 100K miles warranty on the powertrain, non-powertrain equipment coverage is 5 yr/62K miles.
So....is the price good?

assuming everything checks out sounds like a fair price.

i found an 05 with 13k miles for 23k in virginia, but other than that good deal that seems average, do you REALLY need the warranty? i could care less about it, but then again ive had good luck, and i wouldnt buy anything with over 30k miles on it.

Just to be sure, you've found the exact same model (Navi, A-spec kit, no accidents) but an 05" with 13K miles for $23K. I would be all over that.

I ran a carfax on a few of the vehicles listed by that seller. It seems everyone has a recondition title.
