Acura of Glendale pricing is no better than any Los Angeles area pricing...very common pricing. They are not unique.

I'm in the market for a '05 TL in the Houston area. Just curious if anyone has any recommendations as far as a good dealership, price, etc.
 
I test drove one this past weekend at Gillman. Question: Does paying cash for a car, give you a better deal? The salesman stated that it wouldn't make a difference...maybe 1500 off the price.
 
And since the '06 models come out in Oct., would I get a better deal on an '05 around that time?
 
Any info is appreciated.

Hmmm. Cash may be less attractive as then the dealer won't have the opportunity to sell you the financing...

I think walking into a dealership with checkbook in hand is always a slight advantage in buying a car. I think that it shows the dealership you are a serious buyer and the deal could get done right then and there. Although this is a luxury line and I am sure allot of high end clients come in there paying cash so it is not an unusual occurance. Right now just about any Acura model you can get it for invoice or slightly below...except the MDX which has a $1500 factory to dealer incentive...so you should be able to get one for $1500 under invoice...
But as you know the pickin's is getting thin...they quite making the 05's already and started on the 06's so now is the time to buy...make sure to get quotes from as many dealers as you are willing to travel. For me it was a 300 mile radius...it saved me $1300 bucks by doing that...dealerships will vary with price and availibility of the colors you are looking for, navi-non-navi, etc...once you have a handful of internet quotes then you can really get down to business...best price should win, but not always...take the dealership for example...is it a good one..or one with a bad rep? Go back through some of the threads here, plenty of people buying in the Texas region...see what they were paying for their cars...a little research can save you big $$$$...good luck!!

I have to disagree with you on this one....
Cash in hand is better than a promise later....short, sweet, done deal...
Cash is King! Especially when they are trying to blow out the 05's...
IMO of course...

Regarding if there is a bias between cash and finance buyers. I have paid cash for all my cars and this is how I deal with it.
 
My deals are discussed in isolated components. I discuss the pricing of my trade-in as well as my new car purchase separately...as well as financing. When they ask how will I pay for the car...I indicate that I am considering various avenues and that I wish to discuss pricing alone. Financing can be discussed separately.
 
Work the deal out..then at that point indicate you are a cash buyer.

Sorry if you had a bad experience NIKKI. I like to speak well of them, because I feel I was very well taken care of. And pricewise, The three San Diego dealers couldn't come within $1500, and the next best LA dealer was $600 more (Tustin).....

I wouldn't consider I had a bad experience. What I was pointing out is that the price you indicated is comparable to many Acura dealers in the general LA area. You just happen to quote one of many. The reason is probably because of more Acura dealers in the area compared to many other regions. So consider other LA dealers.
 
When I say LA dealers, I do not consider San Diego LA. I am referring to others like Downey, Keyes, Pasadena, South Bay Torrance, Santa Monica, Weir Canyon, etc.
 
I live in LA, sounds like you live in San Diego. I didn't know that San Diego dealers would charge $1500 more.
 
I am sure you got a good deal, but the price you received is similar to others in the region. And maybe it was at the time you purchased your car it was different (when did you purchase your car? Recently?) As you can see, many in the LA area, and you just indicated one.
