Is this a good deal??

Been searching and searching and might of found the deal I've been looking for...

How does this sound to you all?

2005 TL
Ext. Silver
Int. Black
w/ Navigation
Mileage: 33k

Priced: $23,488

What do you think of that pricing? The carfax didn't show much since it didn't seem like they went to the acura dealer for regular service or took it elsewhere, but it didn't show any accidents. So would that mean it would have a clear title? Or how do I look for that?

What could I talk them down to or what could I get out of them?

This isn't from a acura dealership...

Thanks...

Where are you located? Personally i think that is pretty expensive from a non-acura dealer since its not Certified Pre-owned. Here in NY you can get the same car Certified Pre-owned with the extended warranty.

I agree, that is still pretty pricey from an individual. Actual street value is probably closer to $21K for that car with those (average) miles. It's not really a low-mileage car as it could have been a late 2005 model.

I'd say hold out until September-October, you'll probably see a solid drop in the 04-05 model years when the 09's come out...

It's from a dealer and not a individual...........this car is located in OH and we live in KY.

Guess I'll have to talk to the wife. So the 09's are going to be new models? Thanks for the input, but keep the responses coming.

So you all think this is a little high? I've looked around my area and can barely find anything w/ that low of miles for less than 24 - 25k... and with Nav....

For an 05 those are pretty low miles but it is still and 05. I would offer no more that 20500 or 21000. Just me though.

when I shop I get typical prices from different sources like nada, yahoo, autotrader so i know if what i'm paying is reasonable for my area. sellers do that. and they usually set the price higher so when they give a little you think you got a deal.

one thing about carfax and the other one: they aint near as comprehensive as they want you to think. all they do is pull public records so unless an event gets reported carfax doesn't know. i ran a car into the back of another several years ago, almost 7k repairs and it did not show up.

Yeah def ask about their extended warranty. Also, you might as well add up all the numbers, see where you're at and then offer them an "out the door" price. I tried and failed. Haha

That price does seem high but it always depends on your area.

Yea that is why I'm kinda reluctant to even start to bargain...

I would really love to find one similar to this that is certified and from a acura dealer.
