Selling the TL

Love the new Acura, but w/ the exception of push button start and the option for AWD (at a large cost), it doesn't have much to offer above my current TL.

May be able to get a deal on an 09 Audi A6 premium with low miles. Anyone have experience with these and how they may compare to Acura?

Good idea on not getting the TL.

What's your budget?

Juniorbean had an A6 as I recall.

What are you looking for in a new(er) car? Maybe we can help with suggestions other than the A6.

I still am not certain I will sell. In great shape, but getting up there with 113,000 miles. No problems though. Would want at least $10k or it's cheap enough to hold onto (which is KBB suggested trade-in value).

Looking for a comfortable car with the bells and whistles. Would like it to be a premium brand (Audi vs. VW and Acura vs. Honda). AWD is a plus as I'm in the northeast.

Used car lot is showing an 09 A6 premium for like $35k with less than 15,000 miles. I don't get it, there HAS to be something wrong. Been on the lot a month.

That price (hopefully negotiable) is a bit of stretch and absolutely top of budget. Would stretch because it seems like an unbelievable deal... which makes me think it's not and I can't figure out why.

Used is ideal. Want to keep mileage under 25,000 if possible.

May have the ability to get a great deal on an MKZ, but not sure I am sold on the car... also can't get over the old manish idea of driving a Lincoln. Rear seat was shockingly small.

It sounds like you're more bored than anything.

My advice is to keep the TL and drive it until it falls apart. If at some point you end up wanting something else maybe you can get a toy.

If I were in your position I would definitely keep the TL as my DD and get something totally impractical as a fun second car
