#1563 of 9476 Re: Price I got today for Acura TL- and Honda Accord both loaded by novell May 30, 2004 (11:20 am)
Rosenthal Acura in Gaithersburg MD quoted me $30,300 (invoice)for a non Navigation unit when I was their earlier last week. I wound up buying a Accord Sedan EX V6 non Navigation for $22,400, $490 freight and $100 processing fee, plus tags and tags at Criswell in Germantown. I chose the Accord because of the softer suspension and didnt feel the Acura was worth the extra dough. I drove both cars back to back. Invoice shouldnt be difficult to get with Navigation IMHO. Shoot for Invoice and I bet you get it (if not lower like me : ) Good Luck.

Please tell me how you got such a low price on the EXV6 with leather? That price is well under invoice minus holdback? I may be buying tomorrow! I too love the Acura, but get torn thinking alls I really need is the Accord! Replies to this message: novell (May 31, 2004 7:15 pm) kennyg5 (May 31, 2004 7:28 pm) novell (Jun 01, 2004 9:07 am)

We live in DC and just picked up on Saturday a TL 6-speed Nav with HPT package for $33,308 ($1,000 over invoice) in my former hometown in Pennsylvania. I had Radley Acura of Falls Church, Karen Radley Acura, Rosenthal Acura and Chevy Chase Acura all tell me they couldn't come close to that price for a Navigation model, especially a 6-speed with HPT. The automatic Navigations are a little easier to come by.   My suggestions are to take a deal at $33,600 if it's a boni-fide offer and you like everything about the particular vehicle. I was pretty picky about color (anthracite/ebony) and not having a single extra test drive mile on my vehicle. Those constraints, along with the fact that only about 25% of the TL's are Nav and only about 20% of those are 6-speeds, meant that mine had to be factory ordered. DC area dealerships were willing to do that, if I was willing to wait 6+ weeks and pay MSRP.   My other benefit of buying (and registering) the car in PA was that I only paid sales tax on the difference between my trade and the new car (saving over $1,200 compared to DC) and PA doesn't require a front license plate, which makes the front end of the TL look a lot better, IMO. We do have a second home in PA, so the deal is legit.   As far as the Accord vs. TL comparison, I didn't drive the Accord. But the TL 6-speed with it's stiffer suspension, Brembo brakes and HPT tires give it a handling and performance advantage that was important to me.

Replying to: sjmurray3 (May 30, 2004 7:14 pm) I told them this is what I willing to pay or walk and meant it. I had a 4runner with 48K miles that was certified to a 100K and told them I really don't need the car, (which I didn't). They wound up buying the truck for $250 more than Fitzgerald offered me. I can't believe how nice the Honda is for $22,400. The Acura just didnt seem that much nicer to me. Faster and sportier yes. Driving 30K plus miles a year I care about comfort and reliability more than anything else. I considered a used RL, but couldnt see myself paying $25K or more for a 3-4 year old car. I was looking at a 2001 RL with 18K miles at Pohanka for $28K, before I went to drive the Accord. Who knew I would be practical at age 35....

Replying to: novell (May 31, 2004 7:15 pm) A brand new RL with Nav, XM and all gadgets is only $36.5k, which is about $10k off MSRP. So, the 01 RL for $28k is a bad deal, even if it came with Nav. IMHO, the Accord is no match for the TL in terms of performance, luxury quotient and fit and finish. Then, of course, the TL is $7k more, but you get what you pay for Replies to this message: novell (Jun 01, 2004 9:07 am)
#1570 of 9476 GREAT DEAL AND BUYING EXPERIENCE by otep89ers Jun 01, 2004 (12:29 am)
LAST MAY 21ST,FRIDAY AROUND 930PM MY NEW ACURA TL DELIVERED TO MY HOUSE AND ITS UNBELIEVABLE. THIS IS THE BEST CAR BUYING EXPERIENCE I WILL NEVER FORGET. GOT WHITE DIAMOND PEARL WITH PARCHMENT INT 5 SPEED AUTO W/O NAV FOR $30,995 WHICH IS $695 OVER THE INVOICE PRICE WHICH I BELIEVED IS A FAIR DEAL AND NOT JUST THE PRICE BUT THE BUYING EXPERIENCE. I THINK THE PEOPLE THAT I MADE BUSINESS WITH IS THE ONE WHO MADE THE DIFFERENCE. THATS WHY THEY'RE THE ACURA'S #1 VOLUME DEALER IN SO CAL, STA MONICA ACURA ,MY SINCERE THANKS TO SMACURA FROM A FAMILY IN BAKERSFIELD.

Replying to: kennyg5 (May 31, 2004 7:28 pm) The 01 RL was certified no Nav, I am sure I could have talked them down around to $24-25K. i just didnt think it was worth that for a 4 year old car. I disagree with you on your perception on the fit finish. The Accord is outstanding, same as the TL as a matter of fact they are built on the same assembly line and have the exact same paint schemes. Personally the extra $7K wasnt worth the harsher suspension and differences for me. The TL is a great car, just not for me currently. If it would have had a softer suspension, I most would have ponied up.
#1572 of 9476 Price Paid by superbeagle Jun 01, 2004 (11:33 am)
Washington DC area over Memorial Day Weekend for Acura TL 5AT Non-Nav: $31,000 (including destination charge, wheel locks, and trunk tray), plus $100 "dealer processing fee" plus taxes and tags. Cash deal, no trade. Relied heavily on recent posts on Edmunds in negotiating price, and dealer (seeing market) responded immediately. Thanks to the earlier message-posters.
