Unhappy

Hello all, this is my first time posting and looking for an Acura vehicle. I'm deciding whether or not purchasing an Acura TL 2008 Navigation (Black Nighthawk Pearl) with 93,100 miles for $16,977 is a good buy. My main concern is if the miles are too high for a vehicle like the Acura TL. It has a clean title, carfax, and is in well kept condition. What do you guys think? Is it worth the financing for a TL? or should I keep looking? Keep in mind this vehicle is at a dealership in my city. Thanks in advance.

a good deal is relative to what you want to spend.

I looked up the Nada value for my area code, and it says for an exceptional clean car with 98,000 miles, you can expect any where from $17-20k.

So, the price for this car is fair.
not a good deal, but not getting raped either.
its fair.

THese honda motors will last past 300k miles.
it being a 2008, one of the last ones to leave production, it would have a lot of life left, depending on how the previous user treated it.

Use car fax as a tool to help you determine if this car is right for you.
you can also have a mechanic take a look at the car for your piece of mind.

You should be able to bargain the deal down to 15500 or at least 16000+ taxes

Soul, the engine will last you. Just know that you have a major tune-up at 105,000 miles.

As stated above, Honda motors last very long as long as they are maintained well. You will need to do the 105K service soon to. Maybe you can make a deal and get that done with the price of the car. Other than that, i think its not that bad of a deal..Good luck and keep us updated...

Thanks for the feedback guys. The vehicle has been on sale for quite some time (since this post) and the dealer recently lowered the price 13,995 with 1,500 down. Still worth the investment?
