2G to 3G upgrade!

What's going on guys,

I'm currently the owner of a 02 TL with 164k miles. I'm looking to upgrade to a 3G TL, preferably a '07-'08 model. I came across this '08 TL Type S with 94, 385 miles for $16,269. I wanted to get y'all opinion on whether or not it's a good buy. I haven't gone to see it yet. Will do so this weekend and get all the particulars on the vehicle and it's maintenance history. Also, do you have any suggestions as to what to look for when making a decision on a used TL?

It looks pretty clean! Keep in mind that the 105k service will be due soon.

Nothing specifically to look out for on an 07/08 TL Type S. They are pretty solid all around cars. Just look at all the normal things you would look at on any used car. Service and history reports, how many owners, accidents or body repairs/paint work, tire condition, brakes, fluids etc etc.

The last owner of my car I assume was a shitty owner and didn't take care of it. It had 4 different tires on all dry rotted, buttons where missing on the interior and a ton of painted over scratches. Then I decided to buy it for a little more than I should have.
I spared no expense in doing the 105k tune up early and changing all the fluids.
I've had no major issues with the car. It's been rock solid rolling over 120k miles. It's an everyday reminder why I'm such a fan of that Honda reliability.

edit: It was an impulse buy, I was tired of searching for the right TL.
