Are you kidding me?

I was bored today at work and decided to search for some used TLs. Is it just me or is this type S ridiculously overpriced?

Unless that thing is practically brand new, then yes, it is over priced. When I say brand new, I mean less than 5k miles.

This dealer is 10 minutes from me. Why the high price? You have to understand the area there, RICH folks. Upper High Class, mansions, $20,000+ a year property taxes etc, so I guess they figure it only takes one idiot to come along, hook, line & sinker.

but the thing is rich people won't pay $32k for a 4 years old car (soon will be 5 years old) used car, they would rather spend extra $10k on a brand new 2012 TL SH-AWD tech or advance packet with ZERO mile on the clock.

Couple of thoughts -

Rich folks have kids that want cars and not necessarily wanting to buy a new car.
Dealer has newer TL and TSX as well as an A4 with less miles for less money, so they likely know what they have in the Type S. Not saying it isn't overpriced, but the Type S isn't a normal run of the mill car.

Its true, I've personally been to the dealer and where a bitch about the price. Plus there are not many acura dealers in northern NJ

the TL-S a great car and all but $32k for a almost 5 year old car, thanks but no thanks. i'd rather buy something new with zer0 miles (well under 100, can never get a car from a dealership with zero miles.)

24k for 28k miles for my 07 TL-S. Wow, if the dealer is able to sell that car, they're making a fortune off it.

If you're "rich", you wouldn't be looking at a 5 year old car... or an Acura for that matter.

27.5k for one with that mileage and condition is not uncommon for a dealer. $32k is a stretch though.

Couldn't have said it any better. It's a marketing scam

If someone wants the car bad enough they'll buy if for a few grand off.
