Replying to: wisngamecock (Jan 16, 2005 1:10 pm) I actually bought at Acura of Brookfield (in WI).... Acura of Libertyville gave me the best quote over the Internet, and when I discussed live with them (over the phone) it was even better. They were very great to work with... they actually were the ones to reco getting the Vin# (in my past post). I took the quote to Acura of Broookfield, and they stated that they couldn't match it. I walked out... later that day got a call from them stating that they would not only match my IL quote, but that they would beat it by $200.   I get the feeling that they were sick of losing WI business to IL (it's becoming all too common). That fact that I was buying in late December didn't hurt either. The folks from Brookfield were SUPER nice, and the guy I worked with was terrific. In fact, BOTH dealers were WONDERFUL to work with, but being from WI, I was very happy to keep the business at home. I would reco both dealers, as they were both good to work with. As I mentioned in my previous e-mail, there were some "shady" dealers in IL that were less than honest, but Libertyville was very fair (not to mention, they gave me a great price). It worked out great for me... would reco both dealers... I can guarantee that the WI dealer would not have come down so much had I not had the IL quote and the fact that I was willing to walk also played a part of it. Best advise to all is to get as many legitimate quotes as possible... while it takes time, it's worth it in the end.

#2761 of 9552 TL prices by liferules Jan 17, 2005 (1:35 pm)
Those are some great prices people are getting! I wonder why Edmund's TMV shows only $200-400 off MSRP for these?   Anybody with dealership experience in the Dallas area? Looking for a TL for the wife.

Replying to: kkftz (Jan 16, 2005 3:38 pm) This is why dealers are crazy to give out their best numbers over the internet. They just get shopped and lower the market. The Libertyville guys will go ballistic when they see how unfair you were to them. Not only did you shop their price once, you went back a second time! Have you no sense of fair play? You must have never worked in sales. Replies to this message: keyser (Jan 17, 2005 8:36 pm) wisngamecock (Jan 24, 2005 12:03 am)

Replying to: indydriver (Jan 17, 2005 3:14 pm) Theres nothing wrong with shopping a price. In a transparant market (where all sales are known), price reflects a supply & demand curve. Without going into an economics lesson, if a dealer is willing to sell at a certain price, its not because the other dealer is, but rather because they've determined that price to be profitable to them. No one's forcing a dealer to sell the car at the price the buyer wants. Price transparancy is in existence in most markets, why shouldn't it be so in the auto industry. If one really wants to be fair, then the dealers should list their sales prices on the cars -- no haggling, everyone gets the fair price (not just the 'informed' customers), thus the dealers price would actually reflect their supply/demand curve.

Replying to: mikeg2 (Jan 16, 2005 1:42 pm) I figure I'd write with the end of the story.I am shopping in the DC suburbs.Since my old car is falling apart and the dealers were pricing high by phone I used Carbargains buying service.Got quotes from 8 dealers w/in 75 miles ranging from $1700 to $500 over sticker on a 05 silver 6sp w/nav.Cost of service was $160 and prices were guaranteed by dealers.I may have done better with more time but can't complain.

Replying to: voicemailking (Jan 12, 2005 10:01 pm) Only because I reviewed these posts did I get the following deal yesterday at Acura of South Bay in Torrance, CA (aka Power Acura):   TL with nav, anthracite/ebony invoice + destination +                pro pack: 33,673 (1,300 > inv.) chrome wheels 700 DMV, license, tires 327 Total: 34,700 + taxes   I went to curryacuracare.com and got a bid for $1,160 from them for the 7/100 warrantee. I brought that into the dealer and they honored it.   South Bay was great. I heartily recommend them.

Replying to: aaargh (Jan 23, 2005 2:06 pm) Over invoice.This service worked out for me on a CRV in the past when it was new and they were getting over list.Dealers outside of you buying area will go out of their way to get your business and then local dealers often match these prices.The service did $500 better than my best deal on my own.

Replying to: keyser (Jan 17, 2005 8:36 pm) I agree with Keyser. Another point: the non-local dealer in this case probably spent only 10 minutes on this deal. If dealers were losing their shirts they wouldn't be in business. Also, don't forget the Edmunds crowd tends to be price and information savvy consumers. There are plenty of other buyers out there that pad the dealer's profit margins.
