I agree with you. The "dealers fee" is part of the total price. More dealers are adding this on, than not. To the dealer's credit, they quoted it up front with the purchase price, and it was not a surprise later on. I suppose they use it as a marketing tool so that they can quote a seemingly lower price, but I wish dealer's fees would be eliminated completely. I bought my son's Mustang 2 years ago at Maroone Ford in Margate FL, and they were one of the very few Florida new car dealers that did not add any dealer's fees to the price. Anyhow, the TL is great. My son and my wife just argued over which of them would take "my" car tonight. (The Wife won).

Shali,
 
Based on what I read from this forum, the price you got is very good. I am also looking to buy a TL. Could you please tell me which dealer offered you this price?
 
Thanks.

Hey Steve, I leased a SSM 2004 6spd TL w/nav and HPT tires form Acura Executive in North Haven, CT in Jan 2004. I got it for 1500 off MSRP and they included wheel locks, trunk tray, and splash guards. Plus 4 free oil changes every year. My sales guy was John Fulvi. Really nice guy. I shopped around all of CT and they gave me the best price. Call him up and see what he can offer you.

Antonino Acura of Groton offered 31650 right over e-mail... haven't talked to them in person yet. If I could get someone down to around 31000 I think I would be pleased. Antonino offers free oil changes as well.

TL Aspec and Gray vs. Black Interior by dan2345
Jun 12, 2004 (8:21 am)

My car (Anthracite TL w/Aspec) is currently in production and I have two questions for anyone that might have input:
 
1. Can someone tell me what the steering wheel that come with the Aspec package looks like (color, material, etc.)?
 
2. I have the ability to still choose between the gray and black leather interior. I have chosen black thus far based on the looks, but am having slight doubts that the black interior might get too hot because of the extreme heat we have down here in South Florida. I was told by the salesman that the black interior doesn't get any hotter than the grey interior. I was hoping someone may be able to comment on this since it is a concern of mine. Hard to believe that the black doesn't get any hotter, but I would like to know from individual experiences if possible. I love the looks of the black, but the heat issue is a major concern. Please comment.
 
Thanks ahead for your responses to the above issues.

I can't really see how black would be the same temperature in the sun as grey. Black objects absorb light rays, and lighter colored objects are reflecting some rays... White objects are reflecting most visible rays... That's the reason why white objects in the sun feel cooler to the touch. Now, if you are allowed to have very dark windows where you live, then that shouldn't really be a concern since much of the light energy would be absorbed by the windows instead of the interior.

Congratulations on your TL 6M purcahse ! Did you test drive it before you got it ? What do you think about the response of the car ? Torque steer ? I'd greatly appreiciate any feedback I can get from 6M owners since the Acura dealers don't give us the privilege of a test drive.
 
Thanks !

Acura TL Black-Camel Nav by jmelario

Had been driving 5 series BMW / sport , for many years, as well as a 00 Corvette, Became very interested in the TL ..the 1st time I'd seen one 9 & did not even know ..what car I was admiring ).
Did research , my dealer ( Northeast Acura..upstate NY) actually let me keep one for a weekend ...that's all I needed.
Rather than go for a new 530/45 ...I felt that the Acura TL was simply a better value. I am very happy with the car, despite a problem with bluetooth, I suggest the Sony E ..works great.
