I just purchased mine tonight. I had the same experience as jrkelly above -- dealers acted like I was crazy to be asking for anything less than sticker. Some were willing to deal -- I called everyone in a 100 mile radius (which is about 18 dealers in southern Ca), mostly because 6-spd are hard to find. I couldn't secure anything over the phone, and a barrage of faxes didn't work either. So I bit the bullet after doing my homework for a week, went to a place that had one, and offered cash for the only 6-spd on the lot. I started at invoice, they countered with the Carsdirect.com price (32,200), I countered with 31,200, and we settled on 31,600. It is a 6 spd, non-nav with the high performance tires (HPT) and wheel locks and mud guards. Invoice is about $33,600 so that puts me 1,000 over invoice. Not bad -- I think both sides were pleased. All-in-all a pleasant experience, but there was a little good cop-bad cop, "this is a really hot car", "I am not making any money on this" but it all lasted about 10 minutes total. I just didn't respond to anything and just focused on the price in as professional a manner as possible.

When they say it is a "hot car" and they are "not making any money", they really are saying they are "not making enough money off you." LOL. If you live in a area with few Acura dealers, they can easily band together and demand a high price, which seems like price fixing to me!! Unless we buyers also band together, we will end up paying more than we should. I have no problem letting dealers make a reasonable profit, but we should not yield to those who demand MSRP.

I recieved a price of 33,995.00 for an 04 Tl automatic w/nav. I am in the Cincinnati, Oh area with 2 dealers in town and one 50 miles north in Dayton. Is this a good price? Edmunds TMV shows a price of 34,973.00. |

I think it's O'K. but not great. I picked up a 6-speed w/Nav and HPT for $33,310 in Pennsylvania. The equivalent price for an auto w/ Nav, but w/o HPT would have been about $33,100. The automatics w/ nav are a lot more common than the 6-speeds, so I think you could do better shopping around a little more. Especially in Ohio, where Honda/Acura prices seem very competitive.

| My wife was torn between the TL and the Lexus ES 330. The lexus was $33,600, and the TL (non-navi) was $33,200. This past week, we negotiated both cars down to $31,200. We wanted a 36 mo., 12,000 mile lease on either vehicle. The best deal we could find on TL was $530/mo. with $1500 due at signing. However, the best we could do on a lexus with same lease terms was $381/mo. with $1500 due at signing. I was floored. Needless to say, I got her the Lexus. The TL has taken much of Lexus' business. Therefore, Lexus is throwing crazy money into lease incentives. Its a great time to lease a Lexus. | |
