Recommendations for around 15k?
Could you get into a decent 4th gen TL at that price point?
Basically my current truck is on its last legs and I’m either going to spend 15k on a reliable car that will retain some value, or I’m going to buy a brand new truck if I can get the right pricing

If I had the garage space I'd totally buy that civic. If it really is as clean as it sounds, it would be a good clean shell to start from. Swap in a period correct B16 or something and it'll be perfect. Worth it compared to those other rust bucket civic's with high kms selling for 3k.

This is so tempting... so much potential. | Agree. Slim picks as the years go on. Clean unmolested original condition cars from that era aren't common place. We laugh now but they'll be worth something in the future as everything else becomes electric and automated.
Also:
Not really a good buy, just hilarious.  https://vancouver.craigslist.org/van...796394529.html

A 2G TSX is doable, maybe even a V6 one. The 1G TSX is totally possible - most sell for less than $10K now. A 2012-2015 Mazda 6 could be a good one.

J35 without the possible issues in the SH-AWD transmission, although you’ll have to settle for 5-speed V6 fuel economy and torque steer.

watch out for oil consumption issues on the 3.7L TL (SH-AWD's). The FWD versions should be ok (3.5L)

Buick Regal AWD 2.0t. 20” wheels look great, turbo motor makes something like 300hp. Pretty nice interior, overall I say it’s an under rated vehicle. Even has brembo calipers
vvvvv edit: as funnel points out, rebuilt. Dang it
