If you can drive stick, go for the one on CL, 2007 Type-S 70k, for 17500 obo

 

yeah i saw that ad, looks like too good to be true. im thinking its a rebuilt.

 

Doesn't hurt to ask, not like you're obligated to buy it or anything. I do agree it looks like it's too good to be true, but hey, it's RIchmond, maybe some rich asian funded by mommy & daddy is trying to let their car off cheap.

As for the one you're interested in, it's almost time for the big maint at 100k so you should factor that into the price as you will most likely reach 100k in less than a year. If it's from some shady used dealership, remember to bring your own mechanic to get it checked and whatnot.

As for my opinion on the price, it's alright. I've seen ones with lower km for around the same price with the same options except for the A-Spec kit and wheels. If the A-Spec kit and wheels are of value to you, then go for it since it is rare to find a TL with A-spec wheels and those wheels can be costly. The A-spec kit isn't expensive though, you can get it from one of the vendors here for less than $1k shipped and painted. If that TL has the look that you're going for then go for it, otherwise just find a better one with or w/o a kit and grab some aftermarket rims.

 

That thing is in kilometers, 56,000 miles or so.

 

why does it look too good to be true? i got my 07 tl type s 74k miles for 17.5k OTD. very good condition, no dents, no accidents, all vin stickers present, clean title. runs strong.

 

Do Canadian TLs follow the severe maintenance schedule? In which case TB/water pump service is at 100,000 km. Ask about that and see if they can cover that for you.

Don't know how that would work though, whether they do it at the GM dealer or at an Acura dealer.

 

Canadian prices are higher. The TL-S going for 17.5k is way too low compared to anything else on the market, that's why it sticks out as a lemon or something. All TL-s around the 70k range is going for $28000+

Yea we do, the 100,000 km big maint is pretty standard for all vehicles in Canada. I had my odyssey done a bit over 100,000km and iirc it was around $800. That wasn't even at a Honda dealership either, I'm pretty sure Honda/Acura would've charged more.

 

seems like a good car to at least look into if not buy

 

Boppa's all on my jock, boppa's all on my jock
Ever since I got these diamonds, boppers all on my jock
Money wads in my pocket, but I call it a knot
Got a roof with no top, and I call it a drop
its rasaq boy.
