Almost about to settle on a NBP or KBP if I don't find a WDP soon enough. Kind of sucks because I personally think the WDP is by far the sharpest of the TLs.

 

KBP is good.

Search the nearby states too. If you're in Western OH, search IN, etc.

 

I like the KBP too but I had my sights set on a WDP for so long.

I know that these cars basically last forever, but what would you say is the max milage/price you would purchase for?

I'm thinking like $22k/60k miles is what I want. Saw a 07 WDP for $16.5k but it had 90k miles on it

 

My friend, I waited 2.5 years for my CBP due to financial setbacks as well as not being able to find the right price/ mileage on the car.

I strongly suggest that you keep your eyes open and eventually, it'll come to you! Got my CBP for $24k/ 28k miles, immaculate condition exterior and interior. Worth the wait and I've never been happier with the car!

 

Apologies for the double post:

I decided to take the liberty and look up some listings for you near your area. Mind you, I don't know exactly where you're located in Ohio so I just kinda did an all around search!

08 Type S in Sidney, OH - $23,601 / 45,559 mi http://tinyurl.com/6m6o4pl
------------------------------------------------
The rest listed below are out of state. If you want WDP that badly...road trip?

07 Type S in Fishers, IN - $17,950 / 119,690 mi http://tinyurl.com/6rqlxws
07 Type S in West Chester, PA - $22,900 / 51,700 mi http://tinyurl.com/894vy8f
08 Type S in Barrington, IL - $23,900 / 69,444 mi http://tinyurl.com/7fqzjpu

I hope this helps!

 

try the states near u, it will be worth it
dont settle for something just cuz it's closer and easier to get

 

I'd much rather have a KBP!

 

Word of advice: Do not settle. Get what you want.

 

^^Good advice.

 

I learned this when I purchased my bike. Bought a used bike, not in great condition. Two weeks later I see a nicer bike, same model, for a cheaper price.

Needless to say, I should have been more patient.

I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a nice TL though. The only time that dealerships get them in though is on new car trade ins because other than that nobody in their right mind would have a reason to stop driving one!

I'm trying to decide if there is too much risk involved in purchasing one that I find at an auction, craigslist, or from a private seller.

Opinions?

 

I'm probably a bit partial as I've got a WDP, but if that's what you want, keep looking. Look nationally. Twice I've bought a car that was over 400miles away from home. A quick one-way flight only costs $100-200, and taking a long roadtrip home with a new car is a great way to get acquainted.

This forum is great. If you need a member who's nearby a prospective car to check it out, it would be no problem. I randomly posted a question about a PPI on the Mid-West forum, and I received PMs from 2 members locally who were willing to give the car a real thorough once-over.

Good luck with your hunt!! And as was said.... DON'T SETTLE!

 

I agree with the others.. do not setlle.. because every day you drive the car you "settled" on you will always think "what if" .. I cant complain too much since I have a WDP and I love it.. I cant imagine being in another car.. well nothing under $70k

 

We love ours.. Place a wanted add on CL. You never know.

 

Saw one several weeks ago in Lindsay Acura in Columbus... Don't remember if it was 07 or 08 though.

i went ASM.

Be patient... they'll pop up.

 

when I bought my NSX I had to have a 91' Sebring Silver. I'm glad I waited and found one. I flew from Chicago to Denver, CO with a buddy. We drove it back the 1000 miles and it was a blast. The other responses to your post are correct: Wait or travel to get one. Don't settle.

 

yeah post a wanted ad on CL, maybe there are some who wanna get rid of their Type-S but don't wanna deal with punk ass tire kicking kids....
u never know~~~

 

If you're willing to travel to get what you want, it'll be worth it. I did and I couldn't be happier.

 

I'll back everyone else up and say wait for the right car, you don't want to settle for something and have the exact car you're looking for go on sale the next day. I remember seeing a WDP tls with a-spec wheels at acura of columbus a few months back, so they do show up.

 

I bought my 08 tl-s 6 months ago and all I can find was 3 type s. 2 in Ohio and one in Michigan. I ended up with a silver one with 30k on it for 25k

 

My top choice of a TL-S color was WDP and 2nd and 3rd being NBP and KBP (KBP being an exclusive Type-S color definitely had it's appeal) as well.

Also PM'd

 

I drove about 300+ miles to get my '08 6MT TL-S....dont settle.

 

PM me again, my inbox was full because I still have the 15 day limit on me.

 

I sure hope you checked post #5, JJH

 

I suggest doing a search on CARS.COM. And if you REALLY WANT a WDP Type-S you will have to be WILLING to go to any length. I plan on buying the same car. 07-08 WDP TL Type-S with ebony/grey leather. I live in Northern IL and a few awesome ones have been close by, but they are around $26-$28,000. I am willing to fly to California if I have to, and drive it back.

 

I searched on cars.com and found the Type-S that I wanted. The Acura dealership was 1 hr. 30 minutes away from where I lived and they offered to drive the car to my home. If I didn't like it the dealership said that they'll just take the car back. They let me test drive it in my area and I instantly loved the car and signed the papers.

I didn't go to the dealer, the dealer came to me

 

^ Damn, I've never heard of a dealership doing that before . . . especially for a used car.

Found one, but not near you.

 

That 2nd one in West Chester is only about 30 mins from my house. Let me know if you want me to check it out for you.

 

HOW DID I MISS THIS POST? Thank you!

 

I've always had good luck with Cars.com. Find yourself one and have it shipped to you.

 

I'm debating on whether to sell my KBP Type S and based upon the pricing above I may opt to sell mine. Will likely list this evening in the for sale section.

 

JJH, Carmax has a 2007 WDP Type S in Schaumburg Illinois with 50K miles and selling for $22,998. They will ship the car to another Carmax that might be closer to you for a few hundred bucks. That's how I got mine, saw it online in Columbus OH and had it shipped to Raleigh, NC. No regrets for me. You are on the line for the transfer fee so you might want to have it checked out by someone else on AZ that might be in the Chicago area. Anyway, thought I would mention it to you. Here's the link to the car.

I settled on my '08 ASM TL-S 6MT when it popped up at the dealership during my test drive of an '08 NBP TL-S 5AT. ...of course I wanted a manual, but my colors were WDP, ASM, and NBP for preferences. However, that MRP is REALLY growing on me

 

Superior Acura in Fairfield, OH has one!

I looked for 2 years for the right color, transmission, mileage combo. Just picked mine up 700ish miles away from me in New Mexico.
