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?

Hi, sorry for the confusion. When I said "picked up", I didn't mean actually picking it up. I made a deposit and signed all the paper.
 
The deal was orginally 27900 and i made them throw in the remote starter for $100. I'm not sure if it requires a separate remote or you could just use the lock button... I've heard two different versions.
 
anyways, what do you guys think about this deal? Should I have gotten more for the trade?

Sounds like a pretty good deal - funny I was just planning to go to that same dealership this week. Any specific comments on the buying experience there? Or what their inventory is like (I was thinking S-type but might consider base)?

The people there are pretty friendly, their prices and trade-in values are both better than Prime Acura. It seemed to me like the managers were trying a lot harder to get rid of their 08's.

I just purchased a base 2008 TL silver/ebony (no dealer options) on Friday in Little Rock, AR. I paid $28,000 cash (excl. TTL) and no trade-in.
 
It seems to me that there are too many posts that can't be used for comparison. Some people don't mention any dealer installed options or whether they financed or what the exact model and miles of their trade-in. Also, TTL varies by state so is it relevant to even mention? Just my two cents worth...
