Default Buying advice needed - new to acura. Help appreciated

Hi all,
Is a 96 TL (2.5) for 3300 a good deal? 137k. How reliable are these? I had a civic but got hit and totaled and am looking for something with honda reliability but more comfort than my 98 civic dx!

I test drove a 97 3.2tl today at a dealership and LOVED it, but the asking price was kind of absurd (6500 for a 97 with 136k on it).

I'm a poor student and need something reliable that will give me minimal hassle and repairs. Are there any common problems on these?

Any advice is appreciated

TLs are reliable, not great on gas though. 3300 sounds overpriced, check out Edmunds.com for a fair appraisal.

For a student with limited money and little ability to make a car payment, I'd recommend test-driving some Accords. They are much more plush than a civic.

Any TL prior to 1998 is pretty reliable what are you looking to spend? 2003 acccord 2.4L auto is going to run you about 9-11K
