What's up guys... new to Acura's so I have a question.. I'm looking at an 07' TL Type S with 171k miles. It has a clean carfax 1 owner, though it's being sold from a dealership so I don't have any records for it. But the carfax does show pretty much every oil change done between 5-8k miles at an Acura dealer since new. Timing belt and water pump were done at 95k miles at an Acura dealership too. I test drove it, it seemed just fine. No rattles, no weird noises, no leaks. The only thing I noticed was a slight vibration with the cold start, but was gone once the car warmed up. And the driver mirror wasn't a fan of being moved when I put it in reverse (the mirror popped and seemed like it was caught up but eventually moved down). Other than that, it was in near perfect cosmetic shape.
I'm just concerned about the miles. I know these cars can run 250k+ easy, but I've also heard the transmissions aren't that great (5 speed auto). The dealership is firm at $6k, which seems like a steal compared to other Type S's being sold. I can't find one within 500 miles of me (DFW, TX) under 150k miles. Most are 180k miles and dealerships or even individuals are asking $7500+.
What do you think? Should I pull the trigger? It's going to be a 2nd car to go along with my F150.
Thanks!
