Hi, I was looking at this car. I bought my TL from this dealership. They had this car for a while. When I got mine this type s was $15,999, now they raised the price. I was thinking to trade my TL for this one. I already had have mine 1 year and a half. No problems with the car, it's really good. Its the same dealer. So let me know what do you guys think?

seats look worn but otherwise looks okay to me. Might wanna test drive it and get it checked out before you pulled trigger.

 

No warranty coverage, high miles, and will need 105K service assuming it wasn't done. If you're ready for all of that, buy it, but I'd keep looking for a lower mileage example.

 

That is a lot of mileage for a 2007, i would definately look for a lower mileage one.

 

Maybe they raised the price because they recently had the 105k done?

 

What is the mileage on your TL? I am not as concerned with the higher miles. I have an 08 that has 87K on it now and by next year at this time it will be closing in on 130K.

I am more concerned about the services and NO Warranty Coverage.

 

A couple of comments I'll add;

The interior was/is filthy. If the interior isn't taken care of usually it follows for the rest of the car.

Look at the bumpers ... I'll bet thay have been repainted ... if so there is a 90% chance in a few months the paint will start to peel and flake.

Those bumpers are in way to good a shape for a 100K car.

 

Ok im keep looking im not in a rush just want to know more opinions

 

I never understand people trying to trick buys by saying "FULLY LOADED!!!" and start listing features that come with the car, like backup camera, bluetooth link, etc

 

Why trade an auto TL for an auto TL?

 

Because they ignent. Cool, that TL-s has Nav!

 

I'd walk away just because of the interior

 

Wow, that's a lot of mileage on that car. I've been looking for a Type-S as well and I've seen some as low as that price-wise but with fewer mileage.

 

mine has the same amount I'm at 109k...but there is a difference mine looks 10x better than that!!

 

I would if I found a Type S and got a good deal on my trade. My TL is a base model with no navi. I've only had it a couple months so I am not 100% emotionally invested in the car.

 

What is the mileage of your current TL??? if it 80k+ then i would trade it in for this car. Talk to the dealer and see how much they will give for your car, tell them like you brought the car here and stuff and would also like to buy here in the future, and they might give you a good deal on the trade in. Plus you already know the price they were asking before so it's give you more ground to negotiate.

I said do it if:
your car has 80K+
With the new price, all the maintenance are done for you
no more than 5k in difference after the trade in

The car look pretty clean with 110k on it. The interior you can clean it out and it even come with a A Spec kit which is over $700 DIY or over 1k at the dealer.

Here is a good deal in Chicago. Already had the 105k service done too.

 

cant stand the 2 tone interior...walk away...you can find better looking for couple dimes more

 

I'm with you there Alex. That two tone looks so cheap! Merely my preference though.
Another thing while we are noting Type-S stuff, give me the base wheels anyday. My brain says the Type-S wheels are more valuable. My eyes tell me the base wheels looks so much better.
Back to your normally scheduled thread.......
