how much did you pay?

JJH

CPO that thing!

J_AZ

I dont have it yet, but if all goes well I will this weekend. CPO?

JJH

iTrader: (1)

yes, if it is an Acura dealership ask them if they will Certify Pre Own the vehicle. That way you are covered by warranty. Rather than barter with them on the price, ask them to keep the current price and just CPO it.

J_AZ

Oh I see.. Yeah its already CPO'd. Is $24999 too much though??

JD TL-S

iTrader: (1)

Too much. More like $21,000 + $2,000 for CPO.

No more than $23,500.

Try to talk them down. They probably have $20,000 into it.

insxtc

6speed or auto? and the price is kind of high.

J_AZ

I thought it was a little high.. Its the 5at, but thats ok with me. Soo 23000ish is more in the ballpark?

Healingduck

Yea, I'd say try to get them down to around $23,000. The price is a little up there...

But since you've been looking for a specific one, I think it would be worth paying a little more than $23,000 if you have to.

Any pics?

Congrats

J_AZ

Yeah Im gonna do my besy healingduck, but I dont want to miss out on the oppurtunity to get this beast.

Haha thats the goal rockstar143.

Congrats J Boogie, I hope to be in the same boat by saturday

Price tag varies by state. I paid 24k for my TL-S that had 28k miles on it. CPO'd of course

J_AZ

See that makes sense though.. 25k for an 07 with 63k miles on it, not so much lol.

On a side note though, whats the mpg like on a type-s?? Ive got quite the lead foot, I went through a quarter tank of gas in my tacoma in 1.5 days..

DaeHanMeenGuk

i hope this helps, J_AZ.

As for me, I drive more city than on hwy so my MID tells me that I'm averaging 22 mpg.

J_AZ

Thanks DaeHanMeenGuk.. That was a good read. What a dream to get 20+mpg!! My tacoma only gets like 13-15mpg thanks to my cai and exhaust.

JD TL-S

iTrader: (1)

$24,000 MAX.

I am sure they should take that.

I will be ready to buy the same car in 85 days.

I dont want to spend more then $23,000.

But after waiting and searching for many months, I will pay $25k cash if I have to

J_AZ

I agree JD TL-S, Not a penny over 24k! Really? Well an early congrats to you! I know what you mean, the search has been quite exhausting lol.

$25k for 5AT is a rip-off. 5AT TL Type-S's are very low in demand, because a large proportion of the people looking for TL's today are enthusiasts. They want manual.

I wouldn't pay anything more than $20k for a 5AT Type-S. $18k is fair trade price IMO. Please go check Cars.com and stay informed.Sorry I'm low-baller but you really shouldn't pay that much.

See?

Glad you found one. I hope all goes well this weekend.

i think its gonna be hard to negotiate a WDP TL-S, since that is the best color for the TL-S(imo), im sure the dealer knows that the car will sell so they wont realli make an effort to plz the customer when they know that someone out these is willing to pay top dollar for a WDP TL-S esp since its no longer made brand new.

DaeHanMeenGuk

if i could, i would have one in every color

Carbon Bronze Pearl is my personal favorite, or Kinetic Blue Pearl.
I can't believe the prices on those type S's...

truonghthe

$24,999 is way too much for a 63k miles TL-S. I would say max is $23,500 CPO, my local Acura dealer sold one 08 TL-S with 31k miles for $24,500 CPO and the other TL-S with 42k miles $24,999 CPO.

J_AZ

Soo after two days and three emails, still no word from the stealership. Time to get serious.. So I left one last email stating that their customer was lacking and they might have lost a sale. Within two minuets I get three calls and voicemails. I really dont like dealing with these people!! Just venting, thanks.

that's how it works at a dealership!

I payed 21000 for my 07 manual with 47k on it about 2 months ago.

iTrader: (5)

damn the Type S's still look expensive....

getting a 5AT type S should not be toooo big of a problem, try finishing the sale with dealership....the Type S 6MT is the real fish LOL....

but either way good luck and keep us updated

Moises

Gotta ask, is having it certified pre owned a big deal? I'm looking at a couple of 07 TL-S and neither are CPO. Is it something worth getting? Never bought a car from a dealership

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

^^^ nothing is wrong with them but CPO gives you that peace of mind....

I got my car at 2005 sitting at 62K in 2007....so it was a 2 year old car but out of factory warranty....the CPO gave me 12 month 12K mile warranty....so i knew is something goes wrong with the car, i can take it in and get it serviced.....

i would always prefer a CPO to a private party if I do not know the private party.....

JJH

iTrader: (1)

Like Swoosh said, just peace of mind. Our Acura's are pretty reliable so it's just too big of a deal but if you can get it CPO and the price is reasonable don't pass up on it.

Myself, I got an aftermarket warranty for 2 years 24k miles.

Undying Dreams

iTrader: (3)

Same here JJH, they factored it into my payment, it was like $10 or less plus I got gap insurance for like $10 more. My car was 2 months too old for a CPO. All together is was $20 more per month for the gap and warranty which I felt was worth it.

Some people get very lucky finding a Type-S with low mileage and a low price.

Not everyone can be as lucky.

I have seen 07-08 WDP Automatics with low mileage go as high as $28,999.

CPO adds a great warranty and usually costs up to $2,000

If he gets the car for $24,000, its like getting it for $22,000 plus an extended warranty. Plus CPO cars have anything replaced that more then 50% worn. I bought a 2006 WDP CPO back in 2008 and it was like new. Tires, etc.

Get what you want Bro

I test drove an 07 NBP Type-S with 73k miles and a manual a month ago. They wanted $22,900. It drove like new. But I wasnt aware it had been in an accident, as reported on the Carfax report-Somebody on AZ told me
