Car choice

New to the TL world and wanted some advice. I am looking at a black 2005 6sp tan interior w/43xxx mi.body/paint is prestine,not even a swirl mark from polishing.Tires are about 70%,interior is perfect,no nav but a really sharp lookin car.is 19500 a good price?It is located in SE PA from a used car lot.

PS.... I was going to toss 17,500 in 100 dollar bills at them and see if they would bite

You are looking at a 2005 Non-Nav with 43k miles, not to mention its NBP on Parchment interior (not as desirable as NBP/Ebony interior)....I would offer no more than 16k OTD...good luck... I do admit the fact that its a 6spd is pretty rare but still....

By the way if you are looking at used TLs I HIGHLY recommend trying to find one with Nav, It definately worth it in my opinion....

I tried trading my 06 cummins and they wont budge off of 20,000.All I hear is auto auction this and auto auction that.I tell them I need 24 for mine and they show me a bunch of auction prices.I tell them we are not at an auction and their response is if they can't sell it,the truck goes to auction.just took it to the dodge dealer today and they offered me 21,5.Told them no dice.For the life of me I can't find any truck like mine anywhere near me(60 mile radius).These trucks are scarce as hens teeth,dealers want them,but they don't wanna pay for one.

get the silver. ebony interior alone is worth it, plus 6 speed plus navi. And cleaning them is easy, can't see swirls at all

Try selling it private party. I was going to trade in my 01 Tacoma and they offered me $5,500 for it. Told them no thanks, put it up on autotrader and about 2 weeks later I sold it private party for $10,500.
