Is this a good deal?

Im looking at this 2004 acura tl with 144k miles on it for 6700. Should i be worried about the mileage?

Check if 105k maintenance has been done.

Price seems good, they don't get much cheaper than that.

If the 105K service was done and other maintenance seems good, I'd say its a pretty good deal. If properly maintained, that car has plenty of life left in it.

Yup, price is great! Pay attention to the trans fluid service. This is a particular issue on these cars. Plan to invest in switches and fluid changes to extend the life. With regular maintenance these will go way over 200K and probably 300K. My 05 has 160K and I fully expect it to go that far. There's a TON of help on this site, too.

Like I've said before, mileage doesn't scare me, owners do. If the person you're buying it from shows pride of ownership, you can be pretty confident in your purchase.

Check motor mounts and condition of fluids. Price seems to be on point if everything checks out.
