| Well, the Montclaire Acura near Newark, NJ is certainly in the metro area and offers as high as $2,000 off MSRP. | |

...leasing the car instead? Your monthly payments would be much lower. The difference in the monthly lease payments vs. the purchase finance payments (that you would have been comfortable with) could be set aside to help pay the residual value, at the end of a 48 month lease period. I'm sure by then, your career would have taken off. Think positive! This is exactly what I did when I leased my 2000 TL in 1999. I just bought this car (lease buyout) and now my wife is driving and enjoying it. Meanwhile, I'm driving the new 2004 TL 6-speed (doing exactly the same thing). |

| skillcat what dealerships have you priced at? I'm in NYC also and will start shopping around for an '04 w/Nav in a few weeks. Did you get any on-line quotes? | |

I was given a quote for a '04 TL Auto w/Navi for 35,200 (including 545 destination charge) here in Southern California. It includes these options: 18' Alloy Wheel, Wheel Locks, Wood Knob, Body-side molding, Splash-Guard, and Trunk Tray. Acura website lists these options total MSRP price of 2047 (1516, 49, 119, 175, 89, 99 respectively). I can't find the invoice price on these options. Nevertheless, I want these options. Without the options, it comes to 33,153, which is about 2000 below MSRP. I know these options cost less to the dealer and they're making a profit on them. Is this good deal? |

kangol - With dealer invoice being $31,575 on the TL w/ Navi, I think you can do better on the price. It seems from the posts I have been reading that you can get at least the trunk tray, wheel locks and guards thrown in on any deal you make. I am leaning toward a TL w/ Navi. As end of the month approaches, I think dealers will be willing to play ball with buyers. I would think in SoCal that you could get down to $32-33k w/ Navi and get them to throw some of those options in. I am basing this on feedback I have been getting on the TL w/out Navi. I think dealers are going to offer 30-31K for the non-Navi and considering that the Navi is about $2-2500, a 32-33K figure seems reasonable. Maybe I am being unrealsitic and anyone can correct me if I am wrong but I definitely feel you can go lower than what you were quoted, especially with the end of the year approaching. Where was that quote from anyway? |

| Dont you think 30k for non-navi is a little too unrealistic to happen by this month end? 31k sounds more realistic and only a few dealers are going that low. I think 30k will probably be more real by Spring. Agree? | |
| I didn't purchase the extended service contract when I bought my 04 TL because they wanted ~$1700 (don't remember the exact price as I bought the car a month ago). Obviously this price is way out of line, but I'm wondering what others are paying for Acura Care or other 3rd party extended service contracts. | |
| Buying an Acura service contract is like throwing money away. You have bought THE most reliable car in the world! You made a great financial decision, so don't negate it by making a terrible one. | |
|
I think $2000 off MSRP is a great deal. What dealer in So. Calif gave you that quote?? I would buy right now IF I could duplicate your offer. |
