In search of another UA7/UA8 after a total loss...

So my Type S was considered a total loss after a hit and run accident with some douche bag. I've been looking around for another and found an 08 with 160k miles on her. Haven't checked the carfax yet but the owner is asking $12k for the car which I think is a little steep. They claim to be the second owner and the car was maintained with all scheduled maintenance done. Interior and body looks clean but I'm wondering if it's worth getting into something with that high mileage? I had 98k on mine before it was wrecked and I can't find anything else without going 500 miles out of the city. Any feedback is appreciated? Feel free to check out the sellers post if you like. 2008 Acura TL Type S

Nice looking example but $12k is a bit steep. Hopefully he/she is willing to be flexible with the asking price

$12k for 160k miles is def way too much.

Yeah possibly looking into 4G also. Should have kept it 3G in this forum I suppose.

I would hope so. Waiting on a call back to see if it's worth taking the hour drive to test drive it.
