Lowest mileage 3G

How few miles do you have on your 3G?

Here is my 08 TL-S with 41,750 miles. I have owned it since it was new.

Your TL-S looks so pristine if it was my car I wouldn't even want to mod it because of how clean it is for it's age... id rather continue to preserve the car and its condition.. i have a feeling someone out there will pay a lot of money for a low mile mint condition TL-S

Thanks, I have be made zero modifications to it. I recently had the timing belt and water pump service done. I change the oil every 5,000 miles, change transmission fluid every 20k, and just put new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires on. The car looks pretty much like the day I bought it.

The interior looks like new as well. I just need to replace the cup holder since the sliding cover of it broke off.

Last year I tried to buy a Red 2006 TL 6MT NAV with only 20,300 miles on th clock, however, the seller wouldn't budge off of the $14,000 asking price; he ended up getting the full amount.

Bought mine 2 years ago for $9400 with 51k miles. And I thought that was good! Nice pick up. I will say I wouldn’t pay over that for a 3rd Gen tho lol

Good thing you bought an automatic; low mileage 3Gs with manual transmissions often go for will over $10,000, in fact, $15,000 for a low mileage Type-S 6MT is not unreasonable.

I just got a 2004 TL (no S) with 36k miles. It was owned by the father of a good friend. He didn't drive much. Lucky me

Which transmission? Just for a quick level-set; for the 3rd Gen TL, the Type-S was only available in 2007 and 2008.

Congratulations on the new ride.

Just thought I'd take a look, so here's an '07 with 7,770 miles. That's correct 7,770 miles and carfax verifies the mileage:

It's an automatic. I guess I'm getting soft. I've been clutching through top and go traffic far too long..

ya my TL-S has 85k miles im not even in the competition...

Those low low miles are neat to see, and a really lucky find for new owners (Especially if car was garage kept).
but I really like driving it so I’m not sparing it an miles. It’s still worth way more in my eyes than anybody would give me for it, so unless it starts having mechanical issues I’m not selling.

Hey Phil, glad your keeping the TL! We need to get a meet going one of these days!




2004 here with ~81K, not nearly as low as some others, but low for the year...

Just over 1 year ago I bought a single-owner MT 04 TL in AM with 64k miles for under 9k in an area where they really hold their value.

Now it has just over 100k miles
