How much are you getting for your TL Type-S
Its time to move on and trade her in. Im wondering what people are getting for theirs and how much I would see private for because I know certainly I will get more.
Car is a 07 Type-S, KBP, Automatic. Mechanically sound, does have a power steering pump leak. No HFL, and does need two new front seats (leather). Body is in decent condition considering the year and. Miles are up there at 192k. Does have a CEL but I think it something in the exhaust system.
I was hoping to get 5k private, do you all think that is reasonable? I know people like this care and particularly the engine, the J35.
Do you think it is worth putting a little money into to raise the value? Like the seats.

Really all depends on your location. Miles are up there. Are all the maintenance up to date? Do you have all the receipts for services done to it? Keeping up with maintenance and all services due are more important than actual miles on these cars. I think $4.5K to $5K is reasonable in its current condition. You might be able to fetch possibly $6K if you fix the CEL and the seats. If it was a 6-speed, I would say definitely.

They still go for decent money for a 10+ year old car down here in north Texas, 6 speed versions command a premium. Plus if they are original Texas cars they are rust free. There is one with an automatic and 186k miles currently for sale on craigslist locally, asking $5750. Looks to be in good condition. Another one with 212,000, interior looks good, $6500. There is a blue 2007 with 97k and an automatic, looks to be in incredible shape including the interior, owner is asking $13k negotiable. Someone wants $19,995 for a 2008 A-Spec TL (not even a TL-S) because only it only has 11,000 miles on it.
Not a single 6 speed car that I could find. But prices seem all over the place depending on condition and mileage.

I'd pay up to $8,000 myself for that given it's a KBP TypeS... Atleast if you fix the seats and complete outstanding maintenance...
As it sits, I'd say you could get atlest $6,500... :I
I'd say $3,500-$5,000 as a trade at a dealer...

How many miles?
No. You can fetch WAY more than that...
I find beat up TypeS's going for $6,500 easy...
A clean-ish 2008 TL-S with 100K miles would bring between $9,000-$13,000.... I've seen it!

I've seen pictures of the coverlay and it is barely noticeable, to me...
** Balls Getting Busted Below ** (no offense)
How can this bother you so much, Gatr???
You had that beater Traverse and then, almost purchased the "dented" Highlander... Just sayin'...

I would have gotten the Highlander fixed had we bought it.
Ya HAD to bring up the other car that shall not be named, DIDN'T YOU?
Crack grew to the windshield the past couple of days.
So others don't mind putting a band aid over the wound (i.e. dash cap over a cracked dash), but that bothers me.

Wow, thank you for all of the responses. I do want to fix the seats, it’s a tough time finding them in the tan color, and in good condition. I’ve considered keeping it but tbh I have a 1995 Jeep Cherokee that’s a beach truck, going to have the Acura, and a new truck is just too much. I still love the car.
I am looking at a a new F-150 Eco boost. Makes the most sense for me with my job and lifestyle now.
I want to take the money and use it for a down payment becuase once I’m done my paramedic I have my student loans kick in from my undergraduate so I think that makes the most sense.
Thank you again guys guys for all the responses. Caught me off guard lol

In July 2018, I bought a 2008 Acura TL Type S with 204,100 miles from the original owner with a folder folder full of maintenance records since day one. Nicely garage kept and very clean for age and mileage. I paid $4,600...I still think I overpaid for the car at the time....

You think you overpaid? No, I'm thinking you got a pretty good deal.

its hard to say how much you can get, we can give out average market price, however the interior/ exterior condition along with history of maint/ records will drastically increase or decrease your vehicle value.
