newbie question - 3G TL
Can anyone tell me what is considered high mileage for a 2004 TL?
I interested in getting one but dont have the cash to get an 05 or 06 right now.

i have heard that 12-15k is an average amount of mileage per year. i could be wrong of course.

Well High mileage would be depending in that state. Like the in Cali the avg driver would be 12-15k a year easy. Then if your in Hawaii it would be much less. But for an 2004 TL i would shoot for something like 30K or less. so about 10k a year. Anything around 50k and up I wouldnt touch. And also you want to concider what area the car was most drivin in. ie: near alot of salt water or a place that has alot of snow.

I dont think miles would matter if the car was well matained. It could have a million miles on it and still run like a champ if the previous owner kept the car in good condition.

True, all factors to concider when buying a used car. The Hawaii reference is 50k in Hawaii is like 100k in the states. Ive lived in Hawaii and buying a car with 50K is really taking a chance and the price would drop big time as to buying a car in the states with 100k.

Boy, that's a lot of miles, 80K. However, to be honest if the price is right and the car is relatively well maintained I'd probably buy. I'm from a Honda/Acura family. My first car at 16 was a civic, bought it with >100K miles on it and it served me well throughout high school and early college and them my younger siblings used it for several more years. My mom still has a Acura Legend with close to 200K miles on it and still counting.

84k miles is too high, for that year and the asking price. Heck.. I wouldn't buy it even if it was cheaper.
I say save up some more money and get something like '05 or '06 with 15~ 20k mileage.

Fleet vehicle can mean many things
One of the SCARIEST propositions is if it is a resold renatal car. I ABUSE THE HELL out of rental cars when i am traveling for work. I know most others are the same way.
Now, that being said, I think we can all agree that TL's / accords are some of the most reliable cars around. The difference here is the price, the mdifier on the price should me MCH better for 28000 miles a year.
Blue book for that vehicle assuming "clean" condition is 21,500 to 24,200. If it includes a warranty of some sort (make sure what is covered and for how long is pelled out clearly) then it seems like an OK price.
