2021 Acura TLX Type S Pricing Revealed [UPDATED]

Agree on body kit but that's fricking insane. Have your Pacific Northwest used cars always been relatively expensive?

@28-Cars-Later Yes, partly because they tend to be in better condition than you find elsewhere, but that's too much. I think $11k would be a fair price for it, mmmmaybe $12k at most given rarity and HPT option.

@dal20402 Its difficult for me to price something like this because as you point out, it is a rare trim. I'd also factor in the cost of a timing belt in any buyer's extrapolation. Checking the tape, the lowest mile example w/auto in the country pulled 11 last week. With those miles, MMR suggests $7,625. Add a grand or two for manual transmission rarity. So typical dealer antics are simply all to see here.

@28-Cars-Later That's a very helpful baseline but in this case I think the combination of local market, rarity, configuration, and apparent good condition actually does add some value. Even after seeing your transactions I continue to think $11k+ would be fair assuming the mechanical condition corresponds to the cosmetic condition. And, yep, immediately budget timing belt, water pump, and (as with every single used car purchase) brakes. That dealer thinks they're in the middle of a BAT auction, though. If they are really trying to get $16k the car is going to sit for a while.

@28-Cars-Later There seems to have been a spike in wholesale sometime in the past sixty days which for all I know will continue into the summer. They could sit on it for 30 days and it actually increase in value. Normally the game is the opposite, don't keep stale inventory too long unless its niche (which this kind of is, but could also be argued its not).
