The transmission issue is old news. TL had a bad washer in the 01-02 which caused about a 5% failure rate. This was solved years ago and Honda made good on the bad trannies. My 01 Accord V-6 got a 73 month 70K mile extended warantee by Honda (I had no problems).

I bought my S about 5 months ago when they had the 2500 off. I bought mine from Rizza Acura in Chicago (southern burbs). I paid a bit over 36K out the door complete (including sales tax and Illinois title transfer). I got mudflaps and no DOC fee included. Chicago has a 1/2 % additional sale tax and an $100/car fee as well. Rizza has a good web sales staff and they seem to move a lot of cars so it might be worth your while to send them an email.. I worked with Chuck. Dale this the other half of the internet sales team. If your buying for out of state I believe you still will have to pay IL sales tax, if it less than your home state you will pay the difference upon registration, if it is less your stuck for the difference.
 
I think the S is a much better car that the "std" TL so I recommend spending the extra $.

Purchased used TL Type-S 6MT $28,900 by scdryver

Thanks in part to some discussion here and in the TSX forum, I purchased a used 2008 TL Type-S 6MT with 12K miles a couple of weeks ago for $28,900 from a Toyota dealership in Texas that had taken it in on a trade. The previous owner (and dealer) left the original owner's Aug 2007, $39K+ receipt in the owner's manual. The previous owner also left all of their phone numbers, etc. in the Nav system's memory. (Let this be a lesson to all of you when you sell your car later!)
 
Carmax had several 2007 and 2008 Type-S 6MT's for around $32K. (They have a blue 2007 with 18K miles in Raleigh right now which they've only recently reduced to $28,998. On Aug 31, they were asking $31,599 for this exact car.) The 6MT was practically impossible to find new from any Acura dealer nationwide last month. Even a used one was hard to find -- especially in silver or carbon bronze.
 
Getting 31 MPG Hwy and 21 MPG City. The most helpful search engine for my search was probably oogle.com, though I used several others, too.

Purchase TL-S $33K by mudshark405

Purchased a '08 TL-S a couple weeks ago for $33K (OTD was $36K here in LA county w/ 8.25% sales tax). That was the best price I could find in the LA/OC area and so, with inventories getting lower, I pulled the trigger. Silver with silver/ebony interior. They threw in floor mats but wouldn't budge on mud guards or wheel locks.

Hey the same car as mine. I paid a few hundred more in Chicago area 4 months ago but that was only with the $2500 deal. Amazingly I have gotten quite a few comments on the wheels from "non car types". How do you like the car? I am happy but dissappointed on a few minor issues: console does not have space for CD cases, no rain gutters so when you open the door in the rain the water runs down all over the inside door panel, not possible to tie down the trunk lid as the interior is fully finished. I would like the motor to be better finished (like my old 01 V-6 Accord) instead of covered with plastic panels (the motor looks like an appliance if the panels are removed - I tried that). Performance, handling, and MPG are great so enjoy! Glad I did not wait for the 09 as I don't care for either the looks or the increase in size and weight.

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum!
 
So I just picked up my 08 TL base last night in Brighton, MA.
 
$28000 including remote starter, excluding tax and other fees...
got $14000 for my trade (07 honda civic ex w/ 28k).
Didn't realize that I could've gotten more for the trade until I did some more research today!! ARGHHH, I was too impatient!

I was considering getting the remote starter installed in my TL-S, but don't have the time right now to drop off my car for an entire day. Does it require a separate remote to carry around or do they have keys that integrate that feature into a lock/unlock key? Any problems with it?
