Miami Acura would not budge on lowering the price.

I told them to cancel my deposit.

Back to square one.

I saw a nice white ( ) TL-S here in Jacksonville. Great mileage for the car...

The owner is not going to budge on the price as that is what he owes on the car.

You could get a 2011-12 Honda Accord V6 for that price with < 10k miles.

Confused at how the price is to high for this one with less than 40k miles on it. It seems to be the best priced one of any he has found so far with also the fewest miles I believe.

They are definitely asking to much for the one in NC since it has 70k on it. If you could get them down to 19 for it I think it would be a great deal. Gatr if you are interested in that one though CLtotheTL might know someone in Raleigh that could take a look for you.

It's about a 25 mins drive without rush hour traffic. However, I'll be going out of town this weekend so I won't be able to do that, unless you can wait until next weekend.

Yes sir, in South Florida in general, people don't know how to drive and they end up in minor and major collisions. They slap some makeup on em and sell em as perfect condition. And this place is the home of the wheeler dealer let's not call the cops and fix it on the side.

I was seriously appalled at the 2 TL's my buddy brought in FROM Acura Dealerships where he was advised they were NOT crashed and they were. Another friend of mine (Heatseeker on AZ) bought an 07...he asked the salesman, yep, perfect, no crash...OK...this was Acura of Pembroke Pines...we changed over his rear tails, major collision that they had straightened out (given, it looked perfect). Anyway, shook up my confidence with buying from a dealer. I'd rather pay a little more and get the carmax guarantee if I was going used again...or have known the history of the car, firsthand.

Why? It looks good, has the same engine and the interior is nicer.

Add in a full warranty and low miles, what am I missing..

I'm not going to buy a car from Texas and drive it back to Florida. My wife has already been with one toddler and one infant for the past week, so she's ready for me to get home.

I think I might buy that local white car, even though I don't like white. The miles are outstanding for that car though.

And a gloss black painted roof would look badass on that car.

I wish he would come down on the price, but there are no other taxes other than the sales taxes that I would have to pay on my own since it's a private seller, I assume.

Auto shipping is like 300-500. Not that bad if you get a great deal. Especially if a local member checks it out for you. Although, asking Justn may not be in your best interest. :crabs:

Only interested in the Type S (TL). Been wanting one since 2004, and I'm not going to make another mistake and pass this car up.

Thank you. I'm thinking more and more about this white TL. I can look and drive it in person, the mileage is great, it's $2,200 less than the Silver car in Miami, and there are no dealer fees or anything like that. I think I could live with white.

If the white one is an 07-08 Type-S---WOW.
I have owned a silver 07 Type-S and prefer the white(WDP) much more now.

A white TL-S is very nice IMO. It's a rich white and the contrasting black trim pieces on the Type S really set it off well.

My younger brother is looking to sell his; he just moved to NYC as he is now an NYPD officer. Its in pretty good shape; rear bumper has been repainted because of a few scratches. Think its an 08 TLS he bought it certified, pearl white with about 58k....let me know if interested...if not, good luck with the search!
