I think the reason may be in his signature...

That sucks man, I know the feeling. When these things come up, you have to jump on them IMMEDIATELY. Despite what some members here may argue, the 4G TL 6 speed is a rare car, so if you see a decent one jump.
I've had the same car you drive now, and trust me there is NO comparison.
I would try to get this one...offer them like 28,500 and tell them ur ready to buy NOW. Their car is priced high so they will probably negotiate

I bought a certified 2011.75 BMW M3 sedan, so the TL was turned in off lease. It does have the upgraded ELS audio, which is fantastic, and is present on all 6MT TLs since they have the tech package.

The car should have a squeaky clean carfax. I bought it new from Rick Case Acura and had it serviced at Esserman International, which is closer to my house. The only issues I had with the car were a broken height adjustment on the driver side seat, which was an issue since new, and the replacement of a trim piece on that same seat because it was damaged during repair. There are a couple of dings on it that could be repaired with pointless dent removal, as well as a cracked passenger side mirror housing (barely noticeable), which happened when I was backing out of my garage one day. Otherwise, it's pretty clean.

The TL was a great car for me and I considered keeping it for a long time but, in the end, I wanted something more powerful and sporting. The BMW isn't as comfortable, has a crappy stereo, and will likely not be as reliable, but I'm ok with the decision I made.

Edit: just saw that my car sold. Hopefully it went to a good home!

I will give them call and see if they negotiate. No records of even of a oil change makes me nervous. It is a ne car which means rough winters. I live in the south without the harsh winters.

Looks like a very nice car with low miles. Interior is especially clean looking. Good luck.

Nice, and with a warranty. If I didn't own one exactly like it, I'd jump on it.

No, what I mean is this guy may have bought it within the last six months or so for 5grand less and now may be trying to re-sell it for more. Might be a different car, just a heads up.

I bought it yesterday. I live in Austin, so they are shipping it to me next week. When it gets in, I'll give a review. Happy to join the 4G TL 6MT club! My 2005 NBP/Parchment Nav Auto will be up for sale soon.

Congrats. I like that color, it is what I was supposed to get. How close to asking price did you pay? Just wondering as I'm trying to see what I can realistically expect to get for my car.

I paid full ask ($30K) but they covered shipping to Texas, which costs about $750. So, I would have paid $29,250 if I was local. I would say it was a fair deal. If I wasn't so picky on it being certified, grey or silver, low miles, 2012-2014, etc., I probably could have held out for a car around $28.5 or so. At the end of the day, the dealer was great to work with and I got the exact car I wanted.

Congrats and welcome. GLM is a great color. If you want to turn yourself into an OCD freak, look on the Car Wash & Wax section of the forum. There is a guy in Ohio who operates a very high end detailing shop and he has your car. He's posted a number of pics of the detailing job on his TL. You've never seen a more beautifully detailed car - GLM really pops when its freshly cleaned/waxed/detailed.

Wow. 2 of the cars 3.2cls6speedmt was looking at are gone within a week. Another guy posted a 6 speed that another person bought for 28k 6 months ago and hes trying to resell it for 32k now. I am glad I got mine when I did as many of these are in some cases 5-6000 more than their automatic counterparts.

I think it's because the enthusiasts realize that manuals are a dying breed in near luxury sedans. Not many options at the moment.

That's a pretty damn good price on a 2014(30K). Pretty high mileage though(33k). Although you would think its all highway. But for someone looking for a manual who doesn't drive a lot of miles, they would basically be under full warranty till 2018. It really doesn't matter if its certified or not as the main reason to get certified is for the Warranty extension.
I would look hard at this manual if I didn't already have one.

This 2012 GLM/Ebony is still available. The listing was updated. The interior color is Ebony and it is certified.

Here is another 2014:

I just bought the 2012 GLM with 11,023 miles in the Sacramento, CA area. Sold my 3G TL-S 6 Speed. Saw this as my last chance to own a low mile Acura MT. Having it shipped to Ohio today. I drove the paddle shifter 4G so MT should be amazing. Had to buy it sight unseen, which makes me a little nervous. Still has factory warranty so no worries. Dealer in CA was terrible.

Hmm--36k seems like a lot for a 2014 w 20k even if it is a manual. Be interesting to see if they sell it at that price.

That is crazy, who buys a vehicle to customize, upgrade wheels and only drive it 1k miles per year?
Great find though.

I saw that the other day and was wondering the same thing. Seems too good to be true, if not impossible.
Is there any chance or way someone could turn back the odometer??? I would almost say that it driven so little its not good for the car.


Quick Reply: Really nice 4G TL manual ! For anyone interested.
