Hey all, I used to have a 2005 Acura TL and it was one of my favorite cars. I am going to go test drive the below 2008 Type-S, is there anything I should look for specifically and what is a fair price to pay out the door for an 08' with just under 100,000 miles?

It will need the 105k service done. Might be able to lower the price or get that done if the dealership is decent enough?

thanks, my last one didn't have over 100k miles, what is the 105 service?

timing belt and the like, plenty of threads on it.
if it's worth the price to you, go for it.

a Milestone where dealer can make you keep the car for the long run or trade it in for a TLX Aspec.

thank you for the heads up, I don't get the impression this is an Acura dealership so I will have to ask about it.

In the event they are not able to include it, how much could the 105k mile service cost?

$600-1500

Offer them $10k.

Nice!!! I will soon need the 105k, I'm at 104,459 right now...

My local Honda dealer I get all of my service done at quoted me $900 for t-belt and $1,200 with plugs too...

Ouch!!!

Couple years ago, my base 08 my local dealer wanted to charge me $1000. Which is actually a shock... I thought that was cheap.

What price do you want to hear?


Indi Shop ---- $550 for labor with no loaner car

Dealer --- $781 hook up special let me bring my own parts, two cam seals, all the tensioner and radiator flush. and my choice when come to loaner vehicle without requirement advance booking.

Dealer --- $1250 for WP/TB for the whole deal

or

Dealer --- $2100 for 6 spark plugs, valve adjustment, radiator flush and TB/WP.

Now you can see if they hit people with $2100 they will lay option out as follow (I making up numbers)

07 TL-S clean condition at 95k miles --- $6000
105k service ---- $2100
Things could goes wrong past 105k miles ~ $1500 per year

Oh boy the next thing you know is they said you could use all of that money (approx. $10k down payment toward new car) and trade in for a new car with nothing to worry about. Whooalla magic happen

I'm used to having a car that only needs oil changes, and tires like every 5+ years, so proper maintenance is still new to me....

Im glad someone posted complete pricing for everything, something good to know!!!
