#1449 of 9744 TL 2004 Pricing by bongojean May 10, 2004 (12:50 am)
Replying to: shelly (Apr 10, 2004 4:03 pm) I feel so ripped off living in Hawaii. There is only ONE Acura dealer here so there is no competition. I test drove one & they refuse to go below MSRP....so my quote w/ tax + fees came out to be $35,000 w/ the protection package. They think they're giving me a great deal bc actually, they markup their cars about $4,000 so it should have been $39,000! And this is for a non-navi TL! Its a take it or leave it situation.

Replying to: bongojean (May 10, 2004 12:50 am) The price we pay for living in Paradise I was wondering how much over MSRP they were asking. I ran by their Honda store this morning, they are marking up Pilots 5K over MSRP. I learned that you can buy a car in Washington state and they will not charge you any tax if it is being immediately shipped out.

Replying to: shelly (May 03, 2004 3:21 pm) where did you get such a low apr? can i get it now through American Honda Finance or is it from a local Florida bank? The best I have seen is 3.49% for 60 months through Pentagon Federal credit union. Excellent bargaining skills on your part.Thanks for your help.

Replying to: vtec_2003 (May 10, 2004 6:21 pm) You got to take that low interest rate into the dealer and challenge them to beat it. That's what I did with my Pentagon Federal loan. I had the check ready to go and they came back and offered me a half a percentage point better loan so I took it. Of course if your credit is not good Pentagon Federal might be your best choice out there.
#1453 of 9744 MSRP in SoCal by 03oddity May 11, 2004 (1:31 pm)
An L.A.-area dealer emailed me to say that their one in-stock 2004 TL 5AT Navi sold last night for full MSRP.   They had been willing to give me a whopping $500 discount since I work nearby and would have had it serviced there. They wanted to charge extra for the protection package, which would have put it pretty much right back at MSRP.   BTW, I got quotes as low as $1700 under sticker for non-Navis, which makes that little in-dash doodad--about to become obsolete thanks to the new RL--cost $3200+.   HellOOO!!! The only thing that's going to get prices down is when folks start refusing to pay full Monroney! Can you say "walk out of the dealership"? (These must be the same people who are tripping over each other to pay $1 million plus for shacks.)   oddity
#1454 of 9744 Ready to buy - Any good TL/NAVI deals in LA/OC? by dannodaman May 11, 2004 (2:43 pm)
What do you guys think is the best price out there for a new TL Auto w/ Navi in Los Angeles/Orange County area? Do you think asking for $36,000 OTD is possible? I was thinking of that price, including the Protection Package (Mud Guards, Wheel Locks, Trunk Tray, and floor mats) sounds good. What do you guys think? If I finance with them (with a good rate of course), do you think they'll budge? Thanks.
#1455 of 9744 In a word: by 03oddity May 11, 2004 (3:51 pm)
No.   But seriously--read my post above. Even the USAA Buying Service says they are having a hard time getting more than a few hundred off the Navis.   I personally don't think in terms of "out the door" price--IMO it's better to negotiate up from invoice (or in the case of Acura, down from MSRP, unfortunately). Since sales tax and DMV are based on the selling price of the car, the price before TTL is what determines the "OTD" price anyway, so long as you don't let the F&I guy sell you any useless junk.   Analyzing your $36K--subtracting $500 for DMV and dividing by 1.0775 to account for Orange County sales tax--you are proposing a price of $32,947 before TTL. That's $827 over invoice--a generous profit margin since there is also a 3% holdback. But the dealers want $2500-3000 over invoice. You can see how far apart those numbers are.   I'm waiting awhile. I'm thinking you will be too. Replies to this message: dannodaman (May 12, 2004 2:20 pm)
#1456 of 9744 Great Price by checkers May 12, 2004 (12:07 am)
In LA/OC, I got offered 30,950 (including dest charge of 545) no navigation with protection package. Anyone get lower? And where?

Replying to: 03oddity (May 11, 2004 3:51 pm) Thanks for the detailed info, oddity... Waiting for a while sounds like a pretty good idea. I'm working with Thomas Acura, Weir Canyon, Downey, and Tustin. We'll see which one budges (if any) this weekend...
