Wow, Keyser. Great price! I'm currently negotiating and am a few hundred $ higher than 30K. Which dealer did you buy from? Did you have a trade and get a fair price? What interior/exterior colors?
Three days to go...!

Hey laura. I bought from acura of boston. Black/parchmant no trade in. Send me an email (addy is on my profile) and I'll fill you in with the details (ie salesman etc). My guess is most dealers will be unwilling to discount so much once january 1 hits, so that only really leaves 2 days to make the deal (and 1 day for them to get the car prepped).

Is it snowing like hell there in Boston that no one shows up in dealers now? I think it's the first time we heard below invoice for TL!
It's cold and wet here in Cali, well at least in Cal's standard, but I've not heard any quote even close to that. Still at least a few $100's over invoice on a pure base model off lot. At least I don't have to deal with snow so I guess I can't complain.

It did snow on sunday night (about 5 inches I think). Went in monday afternoon (not snowing but snow on ground). That may have been a factor, but I can't be sure -- the dealership did have a few customers.
Either way you gotta figure they had to have some incentive beyond holdback to sell the car.

BTW, did you get your quote from internet and it was or pretty close to $30K already? As to incentive, I don't think there's any extra Acura rebate going on nationwide, so it seems to be local supply/demand driven, and what a buyer's market if that is the case. If they have to lower the price that much now, my guess is that it won't go much higher even after year end.

Theres no acura rebate, but acura (nationwide) is offering 2.9 percent year end financing incentive (see the incentive section of edmunds or do a web search on it). I got a ballpark quote from the internet in the 30500 range (including doc fee), and was able to lower number at the dealer. The final deal pretty much blew away every other internet quote I got.

I've lived in New England all my life. Dealing with snow is absolutely no problem. It's called skiing!!! By Monday morn, had a good 8-9" of gorgeous, light fluffy powder south of Boston (Home of the World Champion Red Sox and Patriots, for those that were unaware). Wish I was skiing!
Thanks, keyser. I've been emailing the internet mgr. at Acura/Boston and will probably head there on my lunch hour tomorrow. I'll keep your purchase at hand, the key is trade-in.

Wondering did you only get that kind of quote (below invoice already even at $30.5) past Xmas, or it's been relatively low even b4 Xmas (say $31K). I'd assumed you already looked around b4 Xmas and researched the pricing.
laurasdada, we Cal'ians go skiing too, and I've lived in some snow belt areas. At least to me, skiing is NOT the same as having to deal with snow on daily basis. Of course, growing up there, you are all tuned for that. At least you'd get the envy of me for the TL price you can get in that area.

The price the dealer gave 3 weeks ago was about $30500. I'm not sure if the dealer would've accepted the 30k deal 3 weeks ago. My gut says a combination snow/post christmas played a role (atleast it didn't hurt). I had also told the dealer that I would choose from a car on the lot.

Hi, igiban:
I guess I should have said that skiing is one way to deal with the snow by taking advantage of it! As I age, shovelling and driving in it become less enjoyable (was shovelling ever enjoyable???), but the sheer beauty of New England under a fresh blanket of snow (almost?) makes it worth it... and the skiing!
Still in TL limbo due to my current ride's (trade-in) value. The purchase price of a new TL (at least in Boston) seem very fair, however, as keyser has posted and I've negotiated.
Two days to go...
