ATTN: NYC AcuraZiners

I know this might be a bad idea as I have heard so many bad things about Paragon Acura...but I just can't get over the price!

Would anyone be willing to go check this car out for me before I drive the 300+ miles and decide it's a POS?

http://paragonacura.com/New-York-Cit...e-Car/4994577/

I'm not positive that I'm going to put a deposit down on it yet, but if it is in good shape then there's a 95% chance I will.

Just wondering if anyone would be willing to do this or if they think it's a good idea at all.

Thanks!
Shane.

17?! there are probably dead bodies and shit in the trunk.

There is a regional section of the forums called NY/NJ, if you post there you will have a lot more luck with finding someone to check out the car! Best of luck getting the car though, if it works out get your ass back in here and introduce the car

from the pics alone, base model, leather looks like it had a sumo wrestler sit on it everyday, steering wheel is either really oily or the pic was really bad, and you will have some fucking weird ass logo on your sunroof

exterior looks good though, which is a big plus, but gotta see it in person to be sure

I did notice the leather, which I'm not crazy about but for my price range I don't expect absolute perfection either :/ and I actually looked through the pictures a couple of times and never noticed that thing on the sunroof WTF is that...hopefully removeable?

Thanks a lot for that! If I PMd you my cell number do you think there would be an issue with passing it on to him? Or just give me his either way. I've talked to literally THREE different salespeople at Paragon and each has been incompetent and worthless

If its anything like my past experiences from Paragon, its prolly in horrible condition, or no longer available.

Most likely this car never existed but was put online to generate interest and calls. That or theres an error in the price.

Also, it says Tech Package but its clearly a Base model.

If in some crazy case that this car does exist, they will force you to finance the car from them to get that price.

Those are all the tricks they tried to pull on me when I tried to buy a used TL from them a while back...just a fyi

Wow! Really appreciate you finding this out for me. I don't understand how they could "certify" it with such extensive damage? Anyways I guess I'll be staying away from there...

Thanks again!

Paragon is terrible. If they advertise 17k, be prepared to tack on 2k for certification fees.
