A reporter is looking for consumers who have traded in a paid-off older vehicle for a new(er) one. Did you trade in because of repair costs, or worries about reliability or safety? Was the peace of mind worth the cost (payments, depreciation)?   Please send your brief thoughts and daytime contact info to jfallonedmunds.com by September 20, 2004. Thanks, Jeannine Fallon PR Director Edmunds.com
#1991 of 9965 price, mileage on car , and 2005 by acura4me Sep 02, 2004 (7:33 pm)
Replying to: danny12 (Aug 31, 2004 3:20 pm) I have a quote of $750 above invoice on an Acura TL. Right now it looks as if they're trying to sell me one without navi as they have only a few left with it. I don't need the navi -- I tried it out today and I just don't really see the point for someone like me who will drive this car locally in a very familiar city 95% of the time. Is this just ignorant? Does anyone out there with navi who isn't driving all over America really use it after showing it off to friends?   But in test-driving I noticed the car has 248 miles on it. That just sounds like a lot. Plus the 2005's are out in a few weeks.   I'm just wondering is $750 over invoice that great a deal for a 2004 with 248 miles on it? I've reread back over the forum and some seem to say that it is. I know the 2004 cars will sell, but still -- I feel like I am buying a used year old car with no discount (according to one post the used 2004's are selling at 28k-29k).   Thanks for any input. I'd like to buy this weekend, and I have to say that the dealers I've worked with have been great (I heard bad things about Acura dealers and it just ain't so).

Replying to: acura4me (Sep 02, 2004 7:33 pm) I think $750 over invoice sounds like a fair deal, but not a great one. I got $1,000 over invoice on a TL 6-speed w/navigation back in May. It was ordered to my exact specs and had 3 miles on the odometer from the factory. I just checked Edmunds, and for my area, the "TMV" shows a much greater discount to MSRP fon non-nav models. If I were you, I'd probably be shooting to get the car at invoice even (or below), or wait for a 2005. If you wait a few months, I doubt you will have to pay more than $1,000 over invoice for a 2005 that HASN'T been used as a demo.   As for the navigation system, Acura's is the best in the industry, but only you can determine if it would be worth it for you. We have used it to avoid traffic jams on road trips, find specific addresses locally, etc. We are in the process of new house shopping and it's been a real time saver in that process. I use it a bit more than I would have expected in the greater Washington DC area.   Good luck.

Replying to: habitat1 (Sep 03, 2004 1:16 am) Thanks much for such a considered response. You have got me thinking about the navi again. But I wouldn't have thought of there being a greater discount without it. Below invoice or 2005 is going to be my objective.   Thanks for this input. Any other thoughts on buying the 04 TL's as we go into their final month before the 05's come out would be much appreciated.   i'm in Phoenix, AZ so I'm going to Edmunds right now to check TMV for this area.

Replying to: acura4me (Sep 03, 2004 11:56 am) For what it's worth - my friend is picking up his '04 TL nav tomorrow. He got it for $32,400 before tax (Long Island).

Replying to: ncsugrad94 (Sep 01, 2004 5:36 am) ncsugrad94 - Bought an MDX from Nalley 1 1/2 ago after getting quote from Ed Voyles. Nalley beat them by over$1500. Paid under MSRP when they were "hot". Now looking at TL and will get quotes from both. Hopefully Nalley will come through again. If not, I will look elsewhere. I really think playing the Ed Voyles card at Nalley will help, they seem to dislike them. I'll follow up after I get a quote. Please let me know where you end up going.

Replying to: fueledup (Sep 05, 2004 2:38 pm) Priced new at over $40,000??? In what, Canadian Dollars??   I think the $31.4k price is "fair" at best, but please don't buy the car thinking someone else took an $8k bath. Those plastic body clad ad-ons aren't worth much of anything to anybody at trade in time. As far as "factory performance wheels and tires", that's also suspect. The 6-speed manual TL has a stiffer suspension than the automatic. As such, the factory "HPT" package is only available on a 6-speed. Whatever they have put on an automatic should similarly be understood not to be worth a whole lot, either in trade in or actual "performance".   I picked up a brand new 6-speed with navigation and HPT in May for $33,308 ($1,000 over invoice). You should be able to do that or better now. Use that as your benchmark. But in my book, I'd rather own new for only $1,500 to $2,000 more than used, especially in a $30k+ car.
#1998 of 9965 2005 TL prices paid by sharpwitz Sep 06, 2004 (7:46 pm)
Due to unforseeable events, I will have to purchase a 2005 TL ASAP.   I was wondering how much bargaining room I have at this time of the year. In 2003, for those who had to order their 2004, how much did you have to pay with regards to the MSRP? Replies to this message: habitat1 (Sep 07, 2004 1:16 am)
#1999 of 9965 Re: 2005 TL prices paid [sharpwitz] by habitat1 Sep 07, 2004 (1:16 am)
Replying to: sharpwitz (Sep 06, 2004 7:46 pm) Don't go by what people paid in 2003. In my area (DC) most dealers were getting full MSRP for the car last fall, even w/o navigation, since it was a "hot" redesign and demand outstripped supply. That's no longer the case.   I would think $1,000 over invoice, which I got on 6-speed w/ nav that was special ordered in May, would be possible for a 2005.
