The tech stuff can be overwhelming. I'm a techie too but it will take me some time to get familiar with it all. Even having watched all the videos on the Acura site as well as on myacura. I also downloaded the owners and navigation manuals before I got mine. Last night I spent some time just sitting in the driveway playing with the audio system. I like how for radio you can use the RDS to do category scans (ie scan for top 40 stations). I used that to set my presets.

Congrats!! I know the excitement can be hard to contain...I'm still feeling it after 3 weeks. I love the engine growl...feels like a real muscle car. Th red 'pearl' must be awesome...although I have never seen it. All the pearl finishes seem to be really nice.
 
By the way...excluding tax, tag, and license, were there any fees on top of the $37,880? Is so, how much? Sounds like you got the best deal possible...congrats again!
 
Interesting about the refundable warranty...my dealer never mentioned that otherwise I would have gotten it too.

Joe, welcome to the 'no-sleep-the-nite-before-I-pickup-my-dream-car" club!!! I didn't sleep either. That refundable warranty package is the first I've ever heard of that. The only time I ever got one was for my 1984 Audi and no, we never used it! (It cost about $500 at the time).
I did all of the preparatory reading, and mooning over the info and pix, yet nothing compares to taking that key and getting into YOUR car!! I get excited just knowing I'm going to drive it...anywhere...!
The pearl colors are all nice, the only 'semi straight' color is the black, tho' I think it may be a pearl also. We love our white one.
Another thing I love is the transmission. It 'acts like' a manual in many situations, downshifting at times as I would if it were a stick, and staying in a lower gear as I would want at times also.
Lots of luck!
Good luck

2008 TL leftover by cman7

I just left a Georgia Acura dealer. They have four 2008 leftovers sitting on the lot. They m that they would have to spre asking $32,500 plus TTL.. I offered 31,000 OTD. They claim that the General Manager is the onlyt person that could approve that. My question to this forum is how much should I offer for this base 08 TL, no navigation ? It is new with 120 miles on the odometer.

The black is a pearl, Crystal Black Pearl, however I don't see much pearl to it. When I look closely I can see it. I think that's what I liked about the Grigio, the pearl stood out more.

For the $32,500 they're asking you should be able to get an 09 TL Base. For the 08 I'd try for around $30K.

Metro Denver TL Inventories by cebteb
Jul 03, 2009 (12:40 pm)

I did an on-line check of the 2009 TL inventories at the 3 area Acura dealers and compared it to what I found in April on-line. The Boulder dealer has upped inventory from around 37 to 56. The second dealer is at about the same with an inventory of 35. The third dealer has dropped inventory from around 35 to 27.
 
Now I'm trying to figure out what that all means as far as demand and potential deals. I'm guessing the Boulder dealer has picked up the TL inventory from the small dealers in the mountain states area in hopes of selling more this summer in a more affluent market. I think the third dealer is either doing a good job on sales or is playing it safe in a down economic market. I did note that the SHAWD models did make up 25 to 40% of inventory at all 3 dealers. I also noted a preponderance of Brown colored TLs in those inventories. I though Blue was the non-seller. Hmmmm!
 
Seems like I see a lot of Acura and TL advertising here, but nothing about deals, discounts, rebates, year-end specials. Maybe the latest unemployment figures will get these dealers and Acura to shake loose a bit rather than eat their '09 inventory.

I paid 33K for 08 TL type S on 06/08. You are able to get a 09 as the same price.

Hey Falcon74
I was also in the market looking at the Acura TL+tech. Did you consider reaching out to Steven's Creek Acura or AutoWest Acura of Stevens Creek(if you request your quotes via edmunds, it will reach the people i was negoiating with)? I think you can get the car for 33 to low 33K. I decided against the FWD as i was not comfortable with the seat so looked at the AWD which has better cushioning/seating and loved it. Different story on why i had to pull the plug on the Acura.
 
thanks
