I'm in the process of negotiating a 2005 TL AUTO w/NAV front, side, rear body and wing spoiler, 18" high performance chrome wheels and body side molding. The MSRP w/out these options on the website as of 1 Apr 05 is $35,100. Edmunds.com prices the invoice w/out these options $30,164. What can I expect to pay with these options? I am a first time new car buyer and potential Acura owner. What should I expect to pay and is there anything I should look out for? What approach should I take to negotiate the price down? Help for this first time hesitant buyer is appreciated...

A 2005 TL auto w/ Nav invoices at aprox 32,200 plus 500 for delivery [not negotiable] so you are looking at $32,700. Adding those options you desire adds up fast. I'm guessing about 3 or 4 grand for the bling stuff. Dealers don't generally mark down these items because they are a great source of dealership revenue as opposed to manufacture's revenue. And the dealer knows once you want those things that you really have locked into that model and are willing to pay.
Negotiate the car without the options to invoice or close [maybe $33,000]. Once that is settled start with negotiating the options. There is room in there for them to knock a litttle off the rims and tires, maybe 10 to 15 percent. Good luck, let us all know how you do. Thats what the site is for...learning for all.

Just an FYI - Acura of Libertyville - 2005 TL with Navigation - including all season mats, trunk tray, wheel locks, splash guards - $32,700 plus TT&L. All done through the internet. Excelent experience and quality dealer. Bought my 2002 3.2TL the same way through them 4 years ago.

Maryland dealer offered me TL (without Navi), including wheel locks, splash guards, all-season mats, freight and $100 dealer processing fee for $31,248 plus tax, title and tags. Is this a good deal?

I got the following quote from a dealer near San Francisco. 05 TL with side moldings, deck lid spoiler, wheel locks, mud guards, trunk tray, door and fender edge guards all ready installed. MSRP is $35,509 and your price would be $33,163 plus fees. Without the extras $31,800.
Is this any good?

Sounds like a great deal. Thats about 500 over invoice....and you got the extras at a good cost.

Thanks for the infor archie. Does the TL look good with a spoiler? I think some cars look terrible with a spoiler. I have never seen a TL with a spoiler.

Like I mentioned before I got a quote for a non-Nav TL - 05 TL with side moldings, deck lid spoiler, wheel locks, mud guards, trunk tray, door and fender edge guards all ready installed. MSRP is $35,509 and your price would be $33,163 plus fees. But when I add up the sales tax and fees the Total = 37,500. That does not seem like a good deal to me.

What do you suppose the dealer cost is on the "extras" -- wheel locks, splash guards (including installation), all-season mats?

Forget the spoiler

The extras cost about 1600, but I think the rear end of the TL looks great without the spoiler. I have no idea what the dealer pays for the extras, but installation must cost some.
What are all season mats? I live near San Francisco, so no snow.
