Price check: low-miles 05 TL MT6
Hi all -- newbie here!
Looking to pick up a 3G TL and I'm amazed at what a deal they are on the used car market these days. Lots to be had between $11-15k even.
Anyway, I'm hoping for a MT6, which seem to be rarer and more expensive. I found a black/black 2005 single owner MT6 w/o nav which I'm going to look at tomorrow. Amazingly it has only 12,500 miles or so. Owner is selling because he can no longer afford the payments. He's asking $19,500.
I've seen lots of <$16k cars listed with under 50k miles around here, but all 5ATs. Heck, CPO'ed they're under $18k.
What do y'all think of his asking price? What would be a non-insulting offer assuming everything looks okay?
Thanks!

As for the deal you have right now, an 05 for $19.5k without nav is pretty steep, even with the low mileage. If the seller is firm, I would consider looking elsewhere.

Check the various SoCal Craigslists, e.g. here
some hi miles or salvaged, but several are not.
I suspected he was asking too much. Any rec's on a good counter? My guess is he's asking for the amt he has remaining on the loan.

As for the deal you have now, I wouldn't waste time, unless you MUST have that low of a mileage TL, I'd suggest looking elsewhere. Even if you were able to get him to lower, say $1.5k, $18,000 for a non-navi TL isn't something I would do.
If you can wait, that's what I'd suggest. There's a lot of TLs out on the road in SoCal, there's bound to be one for you. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice! I think it's worth checking out just so that I can test drive a good MT6. Most of them seem to be far away. I'll let him know what I think about the price and see what happens. I'm willing to wait!

Well I checked it out -- really nice ride and the MT is fantastic; among the best I've used. So I'm sold on the MT and the car itself is great. I do think he's asking too much, and I'd love to have the nav. He just listed it and neither of us is in a hurry so I'll let it settle for a while and see how the price comes down. I was thinking about the TSX before this but I really like the V6!
