#4673 of 10989 Re: Getting at or Under Invoice - How? [capt_crunch] by bartalk3 Oct 02, 2005 (6:41 pm)
Replying to: capt_crunch (Oct 02, 2005 5:30 pm) Captn Crunch. I seriously doubt that "corporate" sets the doc fee. That's ridiculous. Why should Acura/Honda care what dealers charge for typing up documents (which probably takes a secretary ten minutes, if that). They're padding the price. In fact, as I recall, in my area, the state has fixed the doc fee at something like $55, so dealers can't pull any shenanigans.

#4674 of 10989 Purchased Black 05 TL Navi in Virginia by badman5 Oct 02, 2005 (7:55 pm)
I purchased a black on parchment 05 TL navi in Falls Church VA three days ago for a base price $33K (including destination charges)+TTL. The dealer experience was okay and I should have probably negotiated at least $500 off of the 33K, but the price out the door came to a not too shabby $34.5K. I've heard of great prices in the So Cal and mid western regions. Anyone else have better deals/experiences in Virginia area?? The financing was a crappy 5.09% though.

Replying to: bartalk3 (Oct 02, 2005 6:41 pm) Thanks bartalk3. I have been doing a little more research and learned that this so called dealer invoice may not always be the dealer's actual cost. It sounds like most dealers get a holdback from the manufacturer of 3-4% of either the MSRP or invoice. So on a '05 TL with an invoice of $32,980 3% the dealer automatically makes $989. I also see that the true doc fee really should be about $50 to cover the setup, etc. of the paperwork (most should be a standard template).   I guess I'll keep looking around. It just puzzles me that here I am ready to sign a check and pick up a car and all I get is a ho hum attitude. I'm not too worried. I figure if no one is going to deal now I'll wait until December and shop again for an '06. Replies to this message: bartalk3 (Oct 03, 2005 7:29 am)

Replying to: zeak (Oct 02, 2005 5:59 pm) There are four wheel nut locks, one for each wheel. The dealer should have returned to you the four standard lug nuts that he replaced with the wheel lock nuts as well as given you the star nut adapter that fits your lug wrench. When I picked up my TSX, the dealer had repackaged the original nuts and the adapter and left it in my trunk.   If you don't the four original nuts and tool, ask your salesman for them.

Replying to: capt_crunch (Oct 02, 2005 5:41 pm) I paid $500 bucks installed....their initial price was much higher....but I said $500 is the most I will pay and they accepted the offer without a fight....makes you wonder huh??? If you pay what they are asking....they will make at least $300 profit without breaking a sweat....stick to your guns.....

Replying to: badman5 (Oct 02, 2005 7:55 pm) You may have missed my earlier post, but FYI, I paid $32,599 for an '05 TL Navi at Rosenthal in Gburg two weeks ago.

Replying to: capt_crunch (Oct 02, 2005 8:05 pm) captn. crunch. Besides the holdback, Acura may be giving dealers an incentive on the remaining '05s. Probably the reason they let you walk away is that they probably only have a few remaining '05s (my dealer has about 8), so they figure they can sell them all with no trouble and don't need to give anybody a particualrly good deal.   If you wait till the end of December or January when nobody's buying cars, you will probably be able to get a good deal then.
#4680 of 10989 06 Acura TL by diverp Oct 03, 2005 (10:11 am)
I'm new to this board. I just got a 2006 TL in northern California w/o Navigation, for $32,499 including a protection package of the wheel locks, trunk tray and splash guards. I also got them to throw in the invisible car bra protection which is normally $800 or so.   This price is before tax, but includes desitination and fees.   I looked at the 05 and they are pretty similar except for the display panel is a blue color now. The warranty went up on the power train to 6 years, 70,000 miles. That was nice.

Replying to: diverp (Oct 03, 2005 10:11 am) That's a good price for a new '06 right out of the box. Plus they threw in the extras. Let us know how you like the car and any problems you might have (e.g., rattles).
#4682 of 10989 Re: wheel lock lug bolts [hi5kid] by zeak Oct 03, 2005 (5:26 pm)
Replying to: hi5kid (Oct 02, 2005 8:49 pm) I revisited the kit and realized that they did install the nuts. Didn't realize the star bolt was part of the locking kit. I thought that there was a locking key to insert as my Porsche nuts had.   Thanks for helping me figure this out.
