I don't have my purchase sheet with me, but I believe my OTD price was ~ $34,700 or so. There is a 5% sales tax, plus a $99 doc fee, and some minor miscellaneous fees.

AZ road trip by nat02

Just wanted to thank everyone for all the information on this forum. Here's the deal I got:
 
05 Acura TL Auto/no Navi
diamond white pearl w/parchment interior
Wheel locks and Splash Guards
 
Contacted Bell Acura, Tempe Acura, and Scottsdale Acura and they all gave the price of : $35,181 OTD without splash guards and wheel locks.
 
With this forums help, I contacted southern California dealers and got the best deal at Keyes.
 
Base Price: 30,000
Doc Fee: 45
(8.25% LA county Tax) 2478.71
Tire Fee 8.75
 
Total OTD 32532.46
One trip permit (CA to AZ) 15.00
Airline ticket from AZ to Burbank 109.20
Register in AZ ~ 600.00
 
Grand Total 33,256.66
 
Knowing I saved ~$1900 on the car Priceless
 
Did everything through emails and faxes with Keyes. That was the easiest and fastest deal I've ever done with a car. Very impressed with Keyes and would do it again when I upgrade to an RL . Got the car with 4 miles and had a blast driving the car back to AZ. XM radio was great along with the demo DVD-A.
 
I heard that I could have gotten the AZ tax rate if I got a third-party trucking company deliver the car to me, but I didn't want to get another person involved in the deal. But like I said it was a blast to drive the car back to AZ. Anyone have any data on getting the car delivered to you in AZ (i.e. cost, tax rate)?
 
I sent the above information to the AZ dealers with suprisingly no response back . I also sent the above information to dealers in the Riverside area so I could fly into Ontario, CA and save some drive time. And, get a lower tax rate 7.75% for the OC. Again no response.
 
Thanks for all the info.

Glad to see I'm not the only one unhappy with the Phoenix dealers. I test drove at two of them and was ignored by the salespeople until I disturbed them and asked for a drive. Even in the car they were very cold. I test drove G35, A4 and BMW and had such a better driving experience with the salesperson who was friendly and talkative. But I was there to buy a car and liked the TL best.
 
So I tried going the internet route, but they all insisted on talking on the phone to give prices. Not only would they not budge on price, I got lectured about them not discounting end of year to keep the price high so it wouldn't hurt current owners resale values. And that their inventory was so low they could sell all they had and more at current prices.
 
Needless to say I'm still driving my old car and deciding if maybe the helpful saleguy at the Inifinity dealer couldn't get me a good price on the G35. Waiting to see what happens once the '06 hits the lot or maybe SoCal is the way to go now.

The different experiences that frisconick and I had point out the value of casting a wide net. In my experience, the folks at Concord were very easy to deal with. They held a car for us for several days based on our oral commitment to purchase, the matched the best deal we had, answered all the questions we had and followed up after the sale (e.g. helping us program the car with the garage door, etc.) Marin was profession, but wasn't willing to match the lowest quote we received. (Also, so as not to confuse Acura2005 who started the thread, the car we purchased was with navigation, whereas I think frisconick's car was without navi.) The good news is there are a lot of Bay Area dealers from which to choose and it's a great car.

Guys,
 
Has anyone recently purchased a TL w/ NAV in the Chicago area for a good price ?? If so please post... I am seeing $400-$500 over invoice as the best. Also any idea when the 06 TL will be available ? Has anyone pre-ordered an 06 ? Thanks.

Best deal for CA Bay area buyer by rajeevpsft
Sep 12, 2005 (2:50 pm)

All,
 
What is the best deal for the TL in the Bay area - is it worth going down to S Ca if there is a better deal?
 
I got quoted 31K w/wheel lock and splash guards. I am not in an immediate rush and am willing to wait a couple of weeks if that will bring the price down

Lease vs Buy by sks109

Why is the lease on the TL so bad?
 
36 Month
12K annual Miles
$605.06/month
 
New to the whole car buying/lease, so please explain. Looking at Audi A4 and BMW 3 series and their leases are more affordable. Please advise.

We just purchased a 05 TL with Nav tonight at Woodfield Acura. Paid 33K even, plus tax, title, etc. I used Edmunds internet service to find them. They came back with the best offer, offered to find the exact color combo my wife wanted, and didn't play any games with us. Sales guy took a lot of time going over the features of the car. I would highly recommend them.

'06 TL Debut by bartalk3
Sep 13, 2005 (11:23 am)
Reply
I phoned the Acura 800 number this morning and was told that the '06 TL will debut on Sept. 22. Dealers have been saying end of October, beginning of November, so your bet is as good as mine. Does anyone have any other information.? Apparently they will have the tire pressure monitor. If it's as good as the one on the RL, it will be a worthwhile addition, and a great convenience (compared with crawling around the garage with a tire gauge)!
