Hi,

New member here, ok I am looking at a 2006 TL w/nav with 58k miles looks very clean one owner has service records the thing is timing belt will need to be done along with the 60k service from what I read here. He asking 16.5K do you guys think that's a good deal? Thanks for the help.

 

Welcome to AZ.

FYI, there is no "60K service" for any TL-- the services are done per the Maintenance Minder (car's computer), and the timing belt code ("4") usually doesn't come up until about 100K-120K miles.

If it's a 5AT, code "3" may come up-- change of transmission fluid-- around 60K; that might cost a couple of hundred $$ if you don't DIY.

The price is right about the Edmunds private party sale price for SoCal; check Edmunds and Cars.com for prices in your area to see if the price is market-correct.

G/L!

 

Thanks for the info. let me get this right for major service the cars computer will let me know it's time? Thanks for helping a noob.

 

Major and minor services, like oil + filter changes, are covered by the Maintenance Minder/ car computer.
The only thing not covered by the Maintenance Minder is the brake fluid change, which the manuals state should be changed every 3 years.

 

Is the car an automatic or a manual? Cosmetic damage? Mods? Pics?

 

Automatic, no cosmetic damage, completely stock, will get pic up soon.

 

That helps me out a lot. So since the belt is replaced at 7 years or 105K miles I should be ok for a bit? I know it's best to change it early but I will get on it ASAP. I was quoted 1500.00 by a dealer here.

 

First off Welcome! Second, the car your looking at has 58K on it, why would you even be worrying about the 105K yet?
