One of the Acura dealers I contacted earlier emailed this to me today... Thought I would share it with anyone looking for a finance deal to seal the deal on a new TL.. Acura has just announced rates available throught the end of the year. They ar 2.9% up to 36 months, 3.9% up to 48 months and 4.9% up to 60 months! These are all with approved credit! We have not seen rates in the 4.9% range in quite some time. Acura did exclude the TSX on this special because there just is no inventory of those to justify it. I'm not sure if you are ready to make a move but with these new rates maybe now is the time.

Greetings everyone! Just wanted to share my experience, especially since actual numbers from the San Diego area seem to be few and far between on this forum. I've been researching the TL and watching this forum for quite some time, as well as watching the inventories of the local dealers. We wanted an '06 auto w/nav in Anthracite/Parchment combo. One of the local SD dealers got one in stock, so on Sunday night I submitted an offer to the Internet manager for $33,375. He got back to me on Monday with a counter-offer of $34,127, including the $560 "Protection Package" which turned out to be splashguards, wheel locks, and the trunk mat (which seems to be about what everyone else here is getting). Seemed a little high, so I asked him to throw in a decklid spoiler and an iPod adapter for the same price. He said no problem on the spoiler but no-can-do on the adapter due to the fact that they're not yet in stock and they're not sure what the price will be. So, I still agreed to the price and got it at the following breakdown: -Selling Price $34,127 (including spoiler, trunk tray, splash guards, and wheel locks) -Document fee $45 (didn't want to get into a pi$$ing match for $45) -mandatory CA tire fee $8.75 -Total (minus TTL, which varies widely): $34,180.25 It should be noted that I had no trade, did not need financing, and really wanted that rare color/option combo. I didn't submit requests to any other dealers, as no one else had that combo in stock. Also, I felt really good about the Internet Manager and dealership. When I finally walked into the showroom, it was like meeting with old friends and there were absolutely no surprises. So, initial impression with Cush Acura has been extremely positive, I felt like I got a fair deal, and I highly recommend using the Internet option. Thanks to everyone for all of their posts; I hope this helps someone else.

Since I really didn't have to negotiate, others are probably better to guide you on how to get your asking price, however what I read is - simply deal w/ the internet sales manager and leverage the fact it's December and they want to move inventory for year end sales. Do a lot of pre-negotiation w/ the internet sales manager and have patience. The new financing package - released yesterday afternoon - gives you additional incentive to buy from a dealer and is obviously an incentive to move inventory at the dealerships. Finally - take everyone's advice on here - as you're negotiating - have some flexibility and be sure to confirm any dealer pricing "processing fee's" "other charges" so you know exactly what you're going to pay. Good luck and let us know how you make out. |

Picking up my new TL on Monday. (Blue/Quartz) I talked with 2 dealers in the Detroit Metro area where I live (there are 4) after getting a quote from Open Road Acura in NJ to see if they could match it (to save me a plane ticket and 11 hour drive). One dealership (Suburban Acura)would not entertain matching the offer and actually told me it was below invoice. I replied with a detailed breakdown of the invoice vs. the accessories and cost. He applauded my effort but still wouldn't do the deal or want to talk any farther. Not rude, but obviously not used to dealing with internet pricing (even though he was the internet manager). Acura of Troy did deal and was very courteous and prompt. The salesmen gave us a thorough test drive and explained the features. The number we agreed on was $34,000 which includes the rear wing spoiler, moonroof visor, all-season floor mats, and protection package (wheel locks, trunk tray, splash guards). The extras were documentary fee $75, 6% sales tax, title and license plate transfer fees for a total of $36,142.50 Basically, I paid invoice for the car and MSRP for the accessories. I thought that was pretty fair as they had to install them and they need some profit Anyway, I got a subsequent lower bid from the NJ dealer (competing against their sister dealership) dropping it another $150 but that wasn't worth the trip. |

I recently purchased a 2006 Acura TL with Navigation, spoiler, mud guards, wheel locks and a rubber trunk tray for $32,800. Do you all think it's a fair or good deal? I really didn't shop around for the best deal...went to a dealer, got a price and then went to another 3rd party dealer and received another price that was $2,000 below the original dealer's price.

This msg is for any canadian Acura TL owners. I just purchased a 2005 tl 2days ago and asked my car dealer if the ipod adapter was available for the 05's. Sadly to say they said that canadian tl owners purchasing an 05 or an 06 wouldnt beable to have this feature and that it would only apply to the U.S I was a little disappoineted because i went to buy an ipod 3 weeks ago. anyways they said you can puechase other crap acc. for it, but that was the problem there CRAP!!! Im dying to pick up my car, which will be sometime next week. The best part of my deal was i got the navi for free!!! |
