So I'm considering purchasing a 2011 TL SH-AWD with Tech for $30,800 from a private seller. Excellent condition, clean title etc....I'm fairly new to the TL and just would like to hear some thoughts on this. From what I've seen the car looks great and has zero issues with it.
Thanks.

 

Welcome! What is the mileage?

 

My bad, its 13,800 on the ODO

 

Sounds pricey to me. Bought my '12 Advance with 0 miles from the dealership for $40,444 before the 2013 model came out.

You have to consider that the original warranty only has 25k left, unless a transferrable extended warranty was purchased...

 

Consider 2012 new shouldn't be a big price difference due to the 13's and new means better interest rate

 

Welcome. As others have said, the price seems high to me for a 2011. Look into the 2012's - refined body style and probably not much more $$...

 

Thanks everyone for your advice...I'm going to shop around and consider others.

 

seems like a good price to me.

I bought a CPO 2009 SH-AWD Tech with 19s... for 29k. mine onlyh had 28k miles.

I added a 100k extended warranty for another $1700..... so I was over $30k and mine was a 2009... not as new as the one you are looking at.

I looked all over so cal and any 4G SH-AWD with low miles was at or near 30k.

I was on a very fixed budget and a new 2012 was out.... i was not willing to spend clsoe to 40k for a new one.. so saving 10k and getting super low interest was a good deal for me...

good luck.

also... depends what you want. i was dead set on WDP / ebony.... which is not easy to find.... in my 2-3 months of searching for one in So cal I onlyh found two.. the first one had major cigarette smell in it... the one I found next and bought was MINT... it looked and smelled new... I had seen some cars that were CPO but had a lot of scufffs/scratches.. looked like they were not super well cared for... if you find one that is exactly what you want, in mint condition... paying a bit more might be worth it.

good luck

 

Curious when did you buy you tl because the 2012's are not 40xxx ever since 13's came out theres like incentives close to 5k if not more
