Worth buying ?

Hi guys. My local authorized Acura dealership has a 2006 TL available but I dont know if its worth buying or not. I have all the carproof and mechanical receipt which they sent me but I cant understand what it had been fixed so please tell me if it is still good or not . Thank you.

I forgot to tell you guys that they want $13,500, the vehicle is at 135k kms and timing belt has been changed, etc... The collision in carproof was parking accident according to them ?

Idk how much the prices are different in canada, but I just kept searching until I found the right one. I got a 2007 Type S 6 speed for $12,500 with 90,000 miles. I believe you can get a newer one for $13,500 or a cheaper 2006 model.

It looks like it was involved in 2 wrecks and had hail damage. I don't think there's probably much to worry about mechanically, but like JL said, it seems a bit high on price for something that has had nearly 10K in repairs done, cosmetic or not. I think 13.5K is high for the mileage in general, even without any damage.

I might keep looking for another one but 3G TL in my local place is very rare. People dont want to sell them because its absolutely beautiful car.

The mileage is actually low. 135,000 km is only 84,000 miles. Actually, let me rephrase that and say that it's below average for a 2006. But then that makes me wonder why the timing belt has already been replaced.

Still not worth it IMO. Keep searching and saving for the right one.
