TL CPO advice
Hi ,
I am looking to buy Acura TL CPO. I am currently having a offer from the dealer 2008 TL/3.2 (no Nav.) with 24K miles and he is asking 19K including fees. so it comes to 19k + Taxes.
Is this a good deal ?

Yes I have test driven the car, it has been on dealer lot for > 90 days and he had to jump start the car. The drive was smooth, The ext color is a grey and on history report it is reported as personal leased vehicle.

Any accidents on the Carfax. I doubt you will see a lot of maintenance on it. Hell...it's probably just on it's 4th oil change.
Good luck.

I offered 18K and they won't bulge for that price, not even 18.5. They offered removal of any extra fees on the car. I think they reduced the price just because it has been on there lot for > 90 days and the door panels was having some color patch which they promise to clean before delivery.
and meanwhile no accident ,, and no major service record other then wheel alignment.

At the end of the day you've showed them your cards and they've showed you theirs. The price is good and will not change.

If it's the one at Acura of Manhattan, clean looking car and although w/o NAV, great price on a CPO car and still has the OE warranty in effect. Owner must have been paranoid as an alignment was performed at 5k, 7k, 9k, 13k and 17k miles, but do check the tires for any uneven wear just to be certain.
Good Luck

If I remember correctly for a CPO the brakes and tires are required to be > 50% life or else they need to be replaced in order to be certified.
But I'm also guessing with that amount of mileage they should in pretty good shape and have plenty of life left.

Yes thats the one at Acura of Manhattan apart from some color spots on rear leather door panels car looks good. Tires are in good shape. The only thing missing is Nav. I will be going in again today and check every thing once again..

So I finally closed the deal. It came $20.6K out of door price. I think its okay price for 2008 TL. One thing more the dealer didn't mention about purchasing extended comprehensive warranty. It's come with 1 year year extended (comprehensive) but I think there is option to convert it to 7 years. I am not sure of what the cost for it and is it worth buying.

If it's a CPO vehicle-From the Acura site:
A limited warranty and three-day exchange policy (where applicable) provide unparalleled peace of mind with any Acura Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle purchase. Every buyer receives a 12-month / 12,000-mile Limited Warranty plus a 7-year / 100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty, and coverage is honored nationwide at all Acura dealers.
Start of Coverage
12-month / 12,000-Mile Limited Warranty extends the new car non-powertrain coverage by 12-month / 12,000 miles (whichever comes first) and starts after new car warranty expires.
The 7-year / 100,000 mile Powertrain Limited Warranty starts from original date of new car warranty registration.
The clock starts ticking from the in-service date of the original owner.
The optional extended warranty:
One program extends the non-powertrain equipment coverage for a total of 7 years, 100,000 miles from the date the vehicle was sold as new – the same as the powertrain coverage. Or you can increase your confidence interval further and extend both powertrain and non-powertrain coverage for a total of 8 years, 100,000 miles or even 8 years, 120,000 miles. See dealer for details.
Extends the same coverage provided in the Acura 12-month/12,000-mile limited warranty.
Acura Care Certified Additional Coverage is transferable.
Do your homework to decifer what the dealer is wanting you to believe.

$2K might be a lot for it. Acura Care quotes $1150 for 4 years. And CPO already have 7 year powertrain on it. It should just be the cost to add additional non-powertrain warranty. I thought it should be much less then what Acura care is offering.

It should be less expensive as it isn't a true bumper to bumper warranty as many items aren't covered. On the car in question, factory warranty, basic 4/50,000 & powertrain 6/70,000, but with CPO it will be 5/62,000 & 7/100,000. As you can see, the extra cost warranty is for only the basic coverage and adds 2 years & 38,000 miles, which shouldn't translate into thousands of dollars. Got to make money somehow. They also have available, 8/100 and 8/120,000, can just imagine the additional cost.
When we purchased our '04 back in 3/07, the extended warranty was only $800 and with the NAV, thought it to be a good deal, but never needed to put it to use. It's a gamble.

You got a really good deal. Let us know how much they quote the extra full warranty extension cost (to extend full coverage from 5/62,000 to 7/100 or 8/120).

don't drive in stop and go traffic. always use 91 or higher octane...and don't lead foot from light to light.
get the TL out on the hwy and the MPGs will go up. 15 mpg in the city with an avg speed of less than 18 mph is NOT uncommon. get your avg mph up to 24-25 and your MPGs will go up to 21-22mpg.
