#10078 of 10977 TMV for 2008 TL base is $25,247. Error? by JimAcura Jan 14, 2009 (6:24 pm)
Don't understand this number. With navi is another $2,200, so not a typo. But no dealer will sell one to me at this price. I'm confused.

#10079 of 10977 Question/Statement by bigums Jan 14, 2009 (6:39 pm)
It's great and all that we talk about how much we paid for, and where we got our cars, and brag how low we got it for, but in the current economic climate, I'm afraid we won't be laughing or celebrating for too long. As this recession takes it's toll on the auto industry, think of this: dealers will be closing, more jobs will be lost, those that remain will be stronger and will control the market when the economy bounces back, and believe me, it will. I see things at the 50,000 foot level, these businesses need to be there for the long haul to service our precious cars in the future, they donate more dollars to the community that you or I realize, they need to make a profit to keep doing things like that. I'm not saying that you or I should blindly pay full sticker for anything, but these people that have made investments in these dealerships do deserve to make a living. We will all be better off for it in the future. That's just my two cents worth for any that want to hear/read it.

Replying to: bigums (Jan 14, 2009 6:39 pm) Car companies have been making good profits off thier customers for years. Companies who adapt to the changing economy and give thier customers what they want will be just fine. I don't feel sorry for any business that fails to ignore this. The free market will shake out bad businesses. Nobody wants dealers to lose money, we just don't want to be screwed. Acura was willing to negotiate to what I wanted to pay for my car. Lexus would not negotiate so I stayed with Acura. I would not feel sorry for Lexus if they went out of business.

#10084 of 10977 2008 TL W/ NAV by crispybear Jan 15, 2009 (11:19 am)
FYI   I just picked up a new 2008 TL w/ NAV for $29,600 in Southern California. The dealer threw in the wheel locks, floor mats, and mud flaps for free.   Out the door was $32,414.   There aren't many left at all. There were only 2 left at the dealer I bought it from: one white and one black.

Replying to: msballsitch1 (Jan 15, 2009 2:30 am) I don't disagree that there has to be some adapting to the current market conditions and I'm sure that a lot of dealerships are doing their best to stay afloat. My point is that we as consumers should consider that beating the dealership's brains in because we think we can take advantage of them in a recession like this is like kicking a dog when it's down. I'm not a big fan of car dealers per se, but as this "shakes out" it just may be the good guys that lose out and wind up closing. We as consumers will be left to deal with whatever/whoever is remaining. Good, Bad, or Indifferent Replies to this message: drtravel (Jan 17, 2009 10:55 am)

Adding high-priced dealer installed options (pure profit), adding market adjustments for in-demand cars (more pure profit), and giving us unfair trade-ins (even more dealer profit)? Supply and demand works both ways.   If you are extra nice to a dealer now - in three years when things turn around, will they remember this and treat you extra nice?
#10087 of 10977 Any 2008 TL in Houston, Dallas, Austin, San antonio by Acuratexan Jan 17, 2009 (6:40 pm)
Will begin calling dealers in those cities Monday. Hoping to find a 2008 TL with or without Navi. Anybody seen any? Best deals?
