I am with you- seven years with my TLS and then I will start looking again.   Just to add- we the consumer cannot keep up with the Manufacturers (I have said this a thousand times)with the different body changes and upgrades to their cars.If one is going to try and keep up, you will end up having car payments the rest of your life.   I could have waited for the 2004 TL, but for what? to keep up with the Jones. No way, I was happy with the $29,200 I spent on a fully loaded tight built TLS.

You can buy your car in any state. Just be careful about taxes and registration. Your state (NY) will demand a tax no matter where you buy your car so make sure that you don't also get charged the NJ taxes. One of my friends made a mistake like that: bought a Volvo in Arizona, paid taxes and registration there and then paid them again in his state (New Mexico).   You have to explain to the dealer up front that you're from another state. All the dealers in NJ should be quite familiar with the situation.

Can anyone tell me what, if any, prices have been advertised in the Chicago area this week on a new 2003 TL(non-Type S and non-navi)?

I would suggest requesting an online quote from one of the major services,or directly from your local dealer's web site. Most dealers will give their best initial price to online customers. If the quotes that you get back are not significantly below invoice,you will probably need to take a trip to a dealer to get a better quote. Showing up in person will show them that you are serious, as opposed to making a phone call or sending an email. My dealer was up front with the current $1500 marketing support, but I was ready to let them know that I was aware of it. There is nearly $1000 holdback on these vehicles, so there is plenty of profit left for the dealer. Having '03 models sitting on the lot costs the dealer money. I'm sure they will be very happy to get any portion of the holdback sooner than later. I'm sure sales of the TL have been slow as people have been waiting for the '04. The Acura dealers in my area still have a nice selection of '03s available, and many are Type-S.   I would not even consider an '03 if the price was not at least $1500 below invoice. It's basically a one year old vehicle with an old body style once you drive it off the lot. This is a car that people were paying close to MSRP for up until a year ago. This will be a $5000 savings from what the '04 will initially cost. You will save $7000 if you can live with 225 HP. You will probably start seeing a lot of one and two year old TLs on the market as the hardcore enthusiasts trade theirs in for the new '04. I'm thinking that I'd rather pay a premium and drive a new '03 off the lot instead of looking for a used one.

I own a 2002 tl-s w/nav, and on 8/26/03 my wife purchased a 2003 MDX touring w/ nav and res. We live in Washington, DC, but we purchased the MDX from Lindsay Acura in Columbus, Ohio. The DC area dealers were offering 500-1000K of msrp, but we got 1900 off msrp, plus discounted and free accessories from Lindsay. to Sweeten the deal for August, the salesman drove the MDX to DC for free! We signed an exemption from Ohio sales tax form, and registered the vehicle in DC and paid DC taxes. If you are interested in making a purchase in NJ- go for it! Just send them an e-mail and tell them what you want to do. That's what I did with the MDX. If you ask, you have a 50/50 shot at getting what you want. If you don't ask, the answer is always 100% no. Good luck on your purchase.
#66 of 10989 My Acura dealer... by rodeodawg Sep 16, 2003 (11:36 am)
is showing me a used 03TL-S (at a "great deal" price of $26.9 with only 27K miles), but I am also interested in their 03-Ss (but, when informed that I know about the incentive, only $1.5 "off MSRP"), as well as their 04's (will be "much more expensive and must have non-refundable deposit").   I am dealing with the same salesman who sold me my Touring MDX at full sticker last year. After reading edmunds TMV and these boards, I am surprised that they can keep a straight face as they make the above statements to me. I guess they made enough money off my MDX deal that they don't need my business.

Call Turnersville Acura in NJ and that will tell you the current (best) pricing in the market. I was quoted $25,000+tax+tag for a 03 TL (no navi or Type-S) yesterday. I would add $1,000 to $1,500 for a Type-S and about same amount for navi, so $28,000-29,000+tax+tag is what it should cost.
#70 of 10989 Great Deals on 03 TL and TL-S in SF Bay Area... by cohenfive Sep 23, 2003 (5:18 am)
just want to give you all a headsup that the great deals on leftover tl's are even around in the sf bay area, home of overpriced cars. my wife and i went to test drive both the s and base car last night. worked with a really nice salesman, happy to share his name offline. anyway, they are offering their tl's for $25.6k and tl-s's for $27.6k without any haggling. i'm sure you could do a tad better, but in any case i was surprised at the pricing. the dealer is concord acura by the way, if you want the salesmen's name email me. they have a decent color supply in stock.   richard cohen cohenfiveyahoo.com
