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.

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.

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?

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..

$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

$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.

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.

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

$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.

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.

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

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

^^^ 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.....

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.

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
