How Much Should I Pay: 2003 Acura TL
Question From Colorado: I am looking at a 2003 Acura TL type S with 80K miles. V6 automatic. Seems to have most of the bells and whistles.
Queen of the Road: Hi Colorado. Welcome to AutoBragBlog!
For a 2003 Acura 3.2TL Sedan Type S with 80,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $9,400 (being in above average condition) to $8,200 (being in average condition) and $7,000 (being in below average condition).
A fair range for a dealership sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $8,000 to $10,600. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.
Check the carfax and do plenty of research on the history of the vehicle. Ask for their maintenance records. You can even bring a mechanic for a brief inspection. Here’s a good article to read before continuing: Car Buying Tips From An Insider. Let me know if you have any further car questions.
Good luck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes!
