New member, shopping for a TL-S

just joined acurazine since i've been looking for a new used car. i'm shopping for a TL-S and hoping to get one at a good deal. anything to look out for?

currently looking at a NHBP 08 TL-S w/130k miles, timing belt and water pump done at 110k, clean title, A-Spec lip kit all around, and lowered on tein springs. transmission fluid replaced every 30k. pictures look great so far, but got him down to 14.5k. wondering if that's a good deal? there aren't many TL-S selling in my area right now.

a good deal is relevant to what you would pay for the condition of the car.

if you have no qualms about spending $14.5k on a well maintained car, than by all means purchase it!

if you feel that its still quite high, counter his offer.
OBVIOUSLY, the lower the price, the better for you.

but again, all relative, as I paid $23k for a 31k mile car in 2010.

Ahh what the heck, I'll reply to this thread as well lol.
Just like justn said, its all relative and its hard for us to say exactly what a good deal is because it could be in real bad condition, or could be a super clean rare find cream puff with one owner, all service records etc etc.
Assuming a pretty clean and well maintained car, I would say maybe in the low 13's would be a decent price.

All of the above are great advices.

Um but why did you start another thread? You should have continued on your previous thread.

I'm super Jealous of James tho.
If I had just waited a year, I could have had a SUPER mint TL-S 6MT for less than what I paid for mine.
