New TL Owner

I'm about an hour away from going to pick up my certified 07 TL Type S! It's black with with 29K miles and appears spotless inside and out. I'm getting it from my local dealer for $27,500. It doesn't seem like a steal by any means, but for the condition and miles it seems to be about the average price. Especially considering I only have to travel 10 minutes down the road.

This looks like a great board. I look forward to chatting with everyone.

It's an automatic. I've heard that the manuals are a blast, but I drive in a lot of traffic on my evening commute. Of course even if I had wanted one it doesn't seem like I could have found it!

Yeah it's a CPO from an Acura dealer. Hopefully I won't need it, but that extra year and 12,000 miles provides a nice piece of mind.

CPO is good since it should have all maintenance done, including new brake pads and tires. Sounds like you got a good deal. Enjoy!

CPO cars are only required to have a minimum of 5/32nd's tread depth left on the tires. Brake pads are replaced when they are more than 50 percent worn. I don't people running out to buy CPO cars thinking they will get new tires and brake pads.
