I would go for the 08 TL since you get the best bang for the buck. If I'm going to spend 41K, then I would go for the 09 TL with all wheel drive and tech package.

IMHO, it's better to not restrict yourself to only 2 choices. Your in the driver seat these days when it comes to negotiating a vehicle. Personally, I would never put up that kind of money for a any vehicle with 48k miles.
I have been considering the TL as well, but the two Acura dealers in St. Louis must be suffering from recession denial. I got the same quote for a 2008 TL w/o NAV.
The Infiniti dealer offered a huge discount on a 2008, but the Infiniti's mpg is low.

Hi Louking, I'm confused... not sure where you're getting the 48,000 Miles from. .

I have my eye on an '08 TL, and it comes with an "appearance pro. pkg." as well as pinstripes down each side. I talked to the dealer, and they had a lot of trouble explaining to me what the pro pkg was. I am assuming your "propac" is the same thing.
Do you know exactly what it is?

From my experience, "pro pack" (short for protection package) includes 4 mud guards, a trunk tray, and wheel locks. Dealers usually charge between 300 to 500 for this addon. The trunk tray and wheel locks I think are fairly standard between dealers, but some dealers will have painted mud guards whereas others will include generic black plastic mud guards. (The latter are cheaper, but I actually kinda like them better)
Not sure what the "appearance" pro pack is. But it is somewhat unusual that they cannot explain what is included with the car. You usually can ask what additionally installed accessories they have, and they better be able to explain exactly what is on the car.
Beware of any dealers who try to negotiate a price and THEN disclose that there are additional accessories on the car than when you first negotiated (at an additional cost, of course). Sometimes, they'll say one thing over the phone and then reveal the other accessories when you actually go into the dealership.

These items are dealer installed options - AKA additional dealer markup. I got the Acura mudflaps thrown-in on my deal. I would teld the dealer I was not interested and have them taken off. A roll of tape is cheap and would not take an hour to install.

I would also go for the TL as I believe it will have a much higher resale alter on as well as it being an new car. The warantee is 4 years 48K miles I believe so why buy without a warantee?

Hi, I have just purchased a 2008 TL base model for $27400. Out-the-door total $30,100 with 0.9% 36mos financing. The total interest for this car is only $420... almost free money. The car has 124 miles, but includes floor mats, trunk tray, and wheel locks. Is this a good price? I bought it from Elk Grove Acura in Sacramento, CA. It's white exterior, ebony interior.
Thanks.

Search this forum under the word vibration and you will see this apparently was a problem in many TLs especially 2004-2008. Don't know if there are any resolutions but I would read and see what others experienced in the way of a fix.
