I offered $27K for the TL-S on Sat and the dealer told me to pound sand. I explained that it was merely the same as his previous $28.5K offer prior to the $1500 dealer cash incentive. no deal. they were stuck on $28.5K.

What state do you live in? If So Cal, which dealership did you purchase the TL? I received a quote prior to the $1,500 dealer incentive, for a 03 base TL w/out Nav for $29,600 out the door. What's a good "out the door" price I should go to the dealers with? From the discussions my guess would be $28,000.    I'm also seeking a dealership names/recent price quotes received. I live in Southern California (Orange County).

I bought my Tl one month ago. I have posted my deal earlier. I have been following other messages and I think deals have gotten better since I bought mine (except 2.9% financing). You should be able to get it for $25,500+tax+tag and anything else you can get thrown in, wheel locks, etc. Trust me you can do better than my deal now, ask for quotes on the internet. Call Turnersville Acura in NJ and see what they are asking, and that is probably the best deal out there, at least here on east coast, and there should be someone similar to Turnersville in S. California. I live in Maryland.
#54 of 9502 2003 TL Type-S $27,152 by fdefulvio Sep 12, 2003 (5:10 pm)
About two months ago, I was ready to go with a 2004 Honda Accord EX V6 when they came out. During my research, I discovered the soon to be released 2004 TL, and thought that was the way to go. Although the new TL would be great, I'm not real keen on paying MSRP, which is probably going to be around $33,000, at best. I'm usually against purchasing a leftover, especially a body style that is getting replaced, but the $1500 Acura "marketing support" on the '03 TL made me think twice.   I went out today to check out the '03 TL, '04 TSX, and the '04 Accord. I hadn't driven any of them up until today, although I did drive an '03 CL Type-S last week. I requested a quote from Autobytel so that I could deal directly with their internet sales person. When I showed up, I explained my situation, that I was still up in the air on what I was going to do, wanted to check out the cars and I still planned on looking into the Accord before making a decision. My first surprise was when they came right out and told me about the $1500 "marketing support" on the TL. The second surprise was when they told me that the TSX is in great demand, and they were only discounting them $1000. From what I've been reading, a $1000 off on a TSX is a great price. The third surprise was after I drove the TL and the TSX, they came back with a price of $27,152 + tax and tags for the TL Type-S and $25,990 for the TSX. Both prices included destination.   Although the Accord was very nice, and I felt it had the best driving feel of the three (very smooth transmission), it didn't have the level of quality of the Acuras. The leather was not rich, and some of the trim just seemed considerably cheaper than the Acuras. The dash and the switches were definitely top quality, but the Accord woodgrain in person is much worse than I had expected. The woodgrain in the tan TL interior has the typical richness you expect in an upscale car.   The TSX is also a very nice car. It has a nice upscale look and feel, but the 4 cylinder with auto. didn't have the smoothness of the 6 cylinder cars and the suspension was noticeably tighter. I'm sure it would be a blast to drive hard, but I didn't think I would be happy with it on a daily basis.   I went back and drove the TL again, after having driven the Accord, and that confirmed to me that the TL had a much richer and quality feel. The TL was not as smooth as the Accord. The suspension is a little tighter, and the transmission was not as smooth. It's a great car for this price, but I'm don't know if I'll be making a mistake by buying the old body style.

If you want the 03, then go for it. You need to take a good look at what you want vs. what it will cost you. As it stands right now, there is(using your figures) about a $6000.00 difference between the 03 and 04 TL. You need to decide if the changes in the 04 are worth 6k, and do you want to spend that much for a car. If you think it is worth 6k for the 04, get it, if not, get the 03. i have a 2002 tl-s w/nav, which is the same body as the 03. I have seen and read about the 04 and I like the changes, but there is no way that i am getting rid of my 02. I plan to keep it at least 7 years. Remember- whenever you are ready to buy, there is always something out there to purchase. Get what feels right to you.

#54 of 55 2003 TL Type-S $27,152 by fdefulvio Sep 12, 2003 (8:10 pm)   Wow, that's $400 below invoice and after - $1.5K. Could you provide the info on which dealer, or web site and state you got this. Thanks.
#57 of 9502 Acura of Turnersville NJ by fdefulvio Sep 13, 2003 (8:35 am)
www.acuraofturnersville.com I think they are going into the nearly $1000 holdback. I was expecting them to go no lower than $27,500 on the '03 TL-S, so I was pleasantly surprised when their initial offer was $27,152 on a $31,830 MSRP vehicle.
