Help buying car!

I am considering buying this 07 tl type s with 62k miles for 21,000. Is that too much for a tl type s with that many miles? Carfax checks out and it looks like its been maintained. I've been looking around in socal and found some 07-08 tl with navigation for about 20-22 grand with approx. 40-50k miles on it. The price is the about the same for the type s but the mileage is a little higher. What would be a good deal on a tl? Thanks in advance

a great deal is subjective.
I thought my TL was a great deal until I read your post.
As the years go by, the TL will get cheaper and cheaper.

What Do you think? is the car worth 21 grand to you? can you afford it? have you gotten a mechanic to check out the car?
your point about mileage is moot, because 60k on the clock is still very very young.
Do your home work, make sure everything is working on the car.

hows it treating you so far? any problems? I was about to get a white 08 tl navi with 37k miles for 20k not including taxes and stuff but was sold right when I got there.... such a bummer. I might jump on this tl type s if my mechanic finds no problems

No problems whatsoever, everything works ok, the only problem was the passenger side mirror would click when it moves down, but i fixed it by just rotating the mirror around..Awesome car, you wont regret getting a type S because you settled for the best You don't see many TL-S's around so it's nice to be a little different sometimes.

Usually these cars are bullet proof.
but every car is different, also depending on previous owner(s).
If your mechanic checks things out and says its okay,go ahead and scoop it up!
watch out for redflags tho, according to your mech.
