2010 TL good deal or not?

I bought a 2010 TL for 15k
111,000 miles
Tech package
New Yokohama avid tires
New pads front and rear
New timing belt and water pump
New front turn signal housings
It did have one accident on carfax. Rear end damage but drivable.
I did look it over pretty well. Inside is clean. Black interior gray exterior. Some minor scratches on the outside. I'm not sure if the plugs were changed or if the top end was cleaned. Drives great. I love the interior. The exterior is growing on me. Had an 06 base previously that was a total loss.

Obviously I can't take it back nor do I want to. Was just curious what you all thought?

I'd say the deal was OK. The mileage is up there, but all the important maintenance has been done which isn't cheap to do. Make sure you check things like the tranny fluid and brake fluid to make sure they've been changed recently. Assuming the coolant has been since the water pump was done. But with the timing belt replaced and brakes all around, and if it drives well and no odd sounds, you should be good to go for a lot of miles.

I think you way over paid, but can't say for sure since used car pricing really varies by location. I hope the car itself is pristine inside and out at the very least.

There are a couple in my area that are hundreds less but, they have not done the timing belt, tires and brakes. That's about $2,000+ if I had to pay for those repairs. The car is almost perfect inside and out. Thanks for the response.

Not way over price. OK deal for buyer. Good deal for seller.

But who cares, the car is ready for another 100K miles. Just enjoy it!

i think you overpaid considering the high mileage (for a 2010) and involved in an accident before. fortunately all major maintenance are done.

I bought a 2012 TL Base FWD with 44K miles, clean carfax, no damage inside or out, and still under warranty for $17K. I wish I had the backup camera but personally I don't want to pay for all the bells & whistles that come with the tech package. I think there was room for negotiation between you and the seller. Just my two cents. Regardless on the amount of money spent on it, you still bought an outstanding automobile with great power, looks, and dependability. Honda/Acura's that are well maintained and looked after will drive for a very long time. Enjoy your new whip!

That sounds like a great deal. It also depends on where you live. I did a lot of research before I went for the buy. I had to to drive an hour to find this one. Anyway, no regrets here. I love the car. Thanks for the .02

Just found out the spark plugs were replaced and the tensioner was replaced because it was leaking.
