if that guy can find me the car that he claims exists it will be VERY productive for both him and me. he makes money and i get the car i want. sounds like everybody gets what they want. unfortunately a unicorn could likely be produced before that car...

Unless my english is off, let me elaborate since so many of you found my comment so outrageous. before I begin, let me advise you to do your homework before you bash others.
 
i SUGGESTED he pay only $23.5 for the car, i DID NOT say it was readily available everywhere. now i will explain why I came to that conclusion.
 
A 2005 of lease, with around low to mid 30k mileage when returned on lease, is sold by honda, on average to dealers around 17k. The same Acura dealer advertises it for $25k on the lot, with cpo. How do i know? because my dealer, Ann arbor Acura did the exact same thing for me, i paid them 500 "service fee", and they resold it to me for 18.4 with cpo. Do they do this for everyone, NO..but it doesn't hurt asking.
 
now my thought process on the 2008. At the end of 2008, there was a 3k rebate, and most dealers took around 5.5k to 6k off sticker, to move the old body style, in preparing for New bodystyle 09. If you are not aware of this, there are only about 25pages on this very own thread to read, if not, Read Acurazine.com
 
So the BASE non-navi(in my opinion terrible looking without navi) could be had for 27-28k Easily. once again, check the threads. So now your telling me, a car, thats been used for 10k miles, sitting on the lot most likely for 2yrs since factory, is worth 26k, then i'm not sure what more to tell you.
 
A NEW 09, base, NEW BODY STYLE...can be had for 31k, and demo'd versions of those cars, can be had for around 28-9k. Now its your responsibility to FIND these deals, people have done it, and because you haven't, dont bash others.
 
So with a 15second search on autotrader, i found Pohanka Acura selling two used 09 RL's (30,900.....having 250miles on it). now I'm pretty sure if you bargained with them, you can get it down to 29, being a NEW untitled can be readily bought for 31k, as clearly other posters have done so, WITh special APR rate.
 
So in conclusion, if you think, a car, that has sat on the lot for 2yrs, with 10k miles, having no idea how it was driven, is worth 26k, then you buy it. But i promise you, that car isn't worth 26k. Take it to carmax, another acura dealer, see how much they give you, ill bet 22k, hence i came up with 23.5k figure(the trade in value, is according to Manheim)

but Vchad, I'm asking you to find a certified preowned 08 non-nav with 10k miles for $23K. This is what you stated in your first e-mail. I am holding you to that ($500 finder fee).
 
Thank You
 
I did not want an 09. Do not like the exterior.

This is going to be easy money for you VChad. The same Aura dealer(Pohanka) has the 08 TL that I am looking, advertised for $31K(same as the 09TL). Granted it has twice the miles I am looking for. . I want that car for $23K, as you stated. If you can negotiate it too $23K, you will be the great deal maker ( and $500 richer). Remember you stated $23k......
 
Thanks in advance VCHAD

VChad - thanks for your extended version reply. it was much more informative than the glib few lines in the earlier posts. i can now understand your reasoning for coming to this conclusion. i still don't know if it works that way and if the cars we are looking for can actually be had at that price but at least you explained how you came to it.
 
i am buying a 2006 MDX off my lease this Friday. it is a base model with 20K miles on it. the dealer has told me that they will make it a CPO for $500 as well. my payoff price is just under $23K. i have been told that this is non-negotiable but does anyone know if this is written in stone or is there anything i can do to get that price down?
 
i am also looking to buy an '06-'08 CPO TL. where are you getting that number for what honda finance sells back off-lease cars for? is that documented somewhere? that seems like an excellent bullet to have in the chamber when negotiating for the car. where can i get it?
