DFW dealers, who is best to deal with by hostage46

I'm close to pulling the trigger on a TL. I've been to MacDavid in Plano where I drove a '05 and Churchhill in Fort Worth and took a spin in the 06. Poor old guy at Churchill couldn't handle all the features and wasted valuable driving time trying to get the blue tooth to work, I told him his competition was able to get my Treo to pair just fine and we moved on
 
Last time I bought a car (Oddesy for my wife) I just called around for good deal and went in to pick up the new car.
 
Still trying to decide between lease (closed or open) and buy. Curious what folks are getting an '06 TL Auto/Navi out the door for (including TTL).
 
Heck with Southwest here, I'll fly out and drive back for a good deal, that would be fun!

Halloween special offer was 33,440 (MSRP-2500), tax is 2090 and T+L cost 260. I am in Dallas and there are 4 dealers in DFW metroplex. Talking to these guys added carbon fiber steering wheel, tint and wheelocks for 210 more, total price of 36,000. All accessories are being installed as new.

hostage46, see the prices on my post. I liked McDavid and Vandergriff. Keep talking to these guys. I felt like Goodson Acura was not trustworthy and the salesmen not very friendly.

.. **If your car is destroyed within the early any period of ownership, the insurance companies will only pay you the market value of your car... NOT WHAT YOU OWE** ...
 
         No kidding, welcome to the planet earth...!
 
            But it's a a very good reminder though and most folks do forget about Gap on financed vehicles, especially if there was a trade involved ... it's the cheapest insurance you can buy for potentially a very costly mistake ...
 
              Thanks for the reminder ....

I bought from Goodson and they were pretty solid (the internet sales guy is not the F&I guy though). I definitely received the hands down best, most desperate bid from Vandergriff. I personally had nothing but high bids and arguements about how they are "as low as we can go without going out of business"...
 
Good luck hostage46. I agree that there are so many dealerships nearby (check FW also) that you can really haggle down to a good price. I think $33,400 is very good for an '06.

I was just noticing, this TL forum is reaching its 5000th message, and the guy who created this topic only logged in once and posted one message back in July 2003. I wonder if he knows how fun its gotten in here!

Seeing as how I am a respected engineering professional, I don't need someone to refer to me as an idiot by your commented edit of "No kidding, welcome to planet earth". I don't know who you are or who you THINK you are but you have no business editing my post with your personal comments. Either add your own or delete mine. Your lack of maturity is obvious.
 
Unfortunately you have just placed this forum in the trash so I’m out thanks to you.
 
Seeing as how I have never had to deal with any insurance claims, I was under the belief that my extra coverage would supply "replacement value" as my homeowners does...
that is WHY I BOTHERED TO INFORM OTHERS !
 
Thanks for ruining what I thought was a good forum.

Your car insurance does offer replacement value, just like your homeowners... And, just like your homeowner's insurance, the amount of debt you have attached to the collateral property has absolutely nothing to do with the amount the insurance company pays..
 
The big difference? Very few people have a mortgage balance that is more than their house is worth, but many people owe more on their car loan than their car is worth..
 
The insurance works the same either way.. They'll pay enough to replace the insured property.. What you owe on it, is your problem..
 
Additionally, you are free to ignore posts that you don't like... and that is what I recommend.. And, respected professional or not... no one called you an idiot... those were your words..
 
regards,
kyfdx

liferules, I went to Goodson 3 years ago to buy a MDX. The guy looked at me like I cannot go up from an 97 Subaru to a brand new Acura. This pissed me so bad that I left and bought a Mercedes SUV instead.
 
This year I gave them another chance and went to get a quote for TL. They said they will send an email which I did not receive for 3 days. When I called to ask, he said they will not give me a quote because I did not say I will buy the car that day. Despite this, I still called them several times to get them into competition. They never gave me an absolute value, always said "if you bring us a written offer, we will beat it" I beleive this is a gimmick used by all dealers since none of them gives any written quotes, including email. I gave them one last chance "to beat it" when I was driving to the other dealer to buy. Amazingly, he did not beleive that I am buying the car to the price I told him! So I bought my TL from competition without any hesitation.
 
They will not give you a good deal unless you promise them to buy it on the spot! I am sure, they are selling cars to some people like that at or near MSRP since they 're still in business. If the salesman I am talking is not friendly and helpful, that dealership is not for me..
 
Bottomline, Goodson is NOT so good son!

Any comments on the Bridgestone Turanza for TL by expertbi

Hi,
 
What is your SNOW experience with the stock Bridgestone Turanza tires that come with the TL? Do they have a good grip or have you changed to snow tires?
