I have been looking for an Acura TL for the last 2 months or so, and so far it seems like a lot of them in my area (Dallas area) are salvaged titles. Am I wrong in thinking 9k + is way too much for a salvage title TL? Also, is there any chance in finding a TL with less than 125k miles for around 8? I can afford more if the mileage is lower but I have been on a "pay the house off" kick and if i can make it with 8 or under I would like to send a payment to help pay it off faster instead. At this time the main 2 I am looking at are higher mileage and I am uneasy about them. I am hoping not to have to settle for a Nissan since they are so much cheaper but I also don't want to be chasing an impossible dream.


ps looking at this one...

BTW timing belt done at 99k and says trans flushed and fuel lines flushed as well.

 

Mileage is a little high but it's worth considering. Take it to a mechanic?

 

Whoa that interior has been beaten, But I recommend taking it to your mechanic or get another inspection done just to be on the safe side. Mileage is a bit high but since it has Honda DNA it will last many miles with proper maintenance. And I would avoid Salvage I know in CA trying to get insurance for a Salvage titled vehicle is hard. I am sure their are 05s out there clean title in Texas or a neighboring state.

 

^^^the interior pics is not from the seller he borrow those pics from another posting.

 

Am I missing something? I assumed those were interior pics from the ad? I guess he might have sold it I'll keep looking (he didn't answer me anymore)

 

OP there is one with 65k miles on my inter-company job listings for 12,500. If you want I can send you the email. It looks in good condition. Car is located in Houston

 

Than that's total false advertising, why post photos at all.

 

If you read carefully he stated "I WILL POST PICTURES SOON"



"THIS CAR LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THE WHITE ONE POSTED ON HERE EXCEPT MINES BLACK. OTHERWISE EXACT SAME CAR FOR LITERALLY THOUSANDS LESS."



I hate people doing this sh*t because it got you all hype up and go out and see the car then when you see the car in person it turned out to be one biggest POS. I would recommend you stay away from that seller.

 

don't even waste your time and gas because it not worth it.

 

Pm sent to icy, and I just assumed he updated the ad with pictures since it was a black TL. I guess I should never assume anything

 

I make a point to not trust car ads where every other word is misspelled.

You'll have a tough time finding a <125K mile TL for 8 grand. One of the ones I test drove had 110K and was listed at 11.

 

Seller sounds like a Dbag from the capital LETTERS AND SCREAMING AT THE READER.

Srsly? Get some damn pictures up. Who tries to sell a 9k car without actual pics?
