I originally thought about posting the entire email thread ...but it takes up a lot of space here so I decided against it. I will email it however to anyone who'd like to read the ENTIRE email, its pretty "interesting". I'm going to post just a few parts of the email to keep it short: I offered to pay 29,200 for TL w/ NAV. I'll post just a few of the salesman's emails here: (I've cut out the salesman's name per forum rules) #1--------------------------------- Acura Salesman wrote: (cant say his name due to forum rules) Friday, December 26, 2008 10:38 AM We have only one Acura TL NAVI (2008) left on our lot in White Diamond Pearl/Taupe. We have received several phone calls this morning alone on that vehicle from other dealerships, which puts us in a very good place. I know that you two are seeking a deal...so are we. This is truly 'first come, first served!' We only had two 2008 Acuras left at the start of business this morning: the TL and an MDX...which just got sold--and I had to send an email to my client that it was sold (unfortunately, not by me)...the TL has one of my co-worker's taking pix of this same vehicle right now! It may be sold before I hear from you, so hurry! #2--------------------------- Acura salesman wrote: Your expecting the dealership to lose just over $2200 on this deal...and if you recall, this is our LAST one--the same one that we have several offers on from clients and dealerships, alike! We have one inbound offer  $34500 on this vehicle that the sales manager is awaiting this clients arrival. Losing money is even open for discussion for him on this deal. He's looking to acquire more 2008, because of how 'hot' they have become at this moment! Edmunds has this vehicle going for $32,577 and you see how different your offer is to what he's about to receive. The clients have just entered the building. I will contact you when this deal has concluded (either way). Where could we meet (in the middle) with this deal--$33,995??? That's if these clients don't buy!I believe the online inquiry...you have the dealership's number to check the validity of the last 2008 TL potentially being sold--you can call and anonymously check.Talk to you soon.Let me know your final offer... #3------------------------------------ Friday, December 26, 2008 3:35 PM Acura Salesman wrote: Simple math alone (subtracting the $3500 and the $640) still leaves $32845--where is the other three grand comes from to get down to your final asking price??? I know that you are not intentionally not considering my work in this, but the dealership is not going to make a loosing deal--$32,577 would be the ground level on this one...the client is still negotiating...good thing he doesn't have access to this email, huh!I have an appointment; I'll type to you shortly! #4--------------------------------- My response: Hi, its alright, don't worry about it. You must be looking at MSRP price. I'm telling you that theres are people paying 29500 including destination minus TTL. The $3500 and $640 was off the INVOICE, not MSRP. But like I said.. dont worry about it, a response isnt needed. I think we both know this isnt going to work out. -------------------------------- Ofcourse, the salesman sent me another email anyways being a smarta$$ just like you would expect. I just want to say "Good Job ORR Acura of Shreveport Louisiana"

Hi All I have an offer of $30,000 on a new...untitled 2008 TL w/nav from a dealer. It was a loaner though and has about 5k miles on it and qualifies for .9% financing. What do you think? Thanks. |
