Looking to Buy an 05 TL

I'm looking to buy an 05 TL and looking to spend $17000 or less what should I look for in these cars to make sure I'm getting a good deal ? And what issues do these cars have that I should make sure are addressed.

I would like to have leather and the Nav system.

Thanks everyone I hope to reprt my new purchase soon .

I just bought an 05 with 70000 miles for 15,200, so you shouldnt have a problem finding one for less than 17k. The most common probelm that Ive seen on these forums are issues with the transmission, so I would take a very close look at that before buying.

the only option for the TL of that years was weather you want nav/ and the transmission. so every tl you look at will have leather. i think for that price point you can get a good deal on a relatively low mileage 05 ... good luck with the search!

Looking to sell my 06 F-150 Lariat Supercrew first.

Looks as I will have to go to Chicago to get my LS no places around here has any listed on Autotrader.

What does the Navi offer other than directions ? It seems to be a expensive addition

If you have something to sell, post a thread in the Black Market in the Off Topic section of the forum. Posts have been deleted.

More posts deleted. I'm abusing my mod power.....

freeflowing PM me if you have questions but these types of posts (for sale) do not belong here. that's why they have been deleted. Again, if you have something to sell, post a FS thread in the appropriate venue.

You can always post a link to a for sale thread that you currently have running in the Black Market.

How about you PM people before deleting posts telling them what policy they may have violated and maybe I wouldnt have called you on the carpet. where have your manner escaped to young man???

You're right, I should have PM'd you asking for your permission first to delete your post and then apologize for the inconvenience I have caused you. Please forgive me wise one.

I bought an '05 w/ 32k miles last spring. Am just now changing motor mounts at 52k. There are a lot of recommendations on here to upgrade ATF and 3rd/4th gear pressure switches as preventative maintenance for the trannys.
