Replying to: aal27 (Sep 20, 2006 7:11 am) Another dealer is trying to get me to buy a demo, any thoughts on how much off a demo with 3800 miles should be reduced? Thanks in advance! |

http://www.hondanews.com/CatID3000?mid=2006092258708&mime=asc I wonder why the navi option on base TL went up to $2.5K ? edit- I forgot the backup camera in addition to NavTraffic. |

I would advise anyone in York PA to go to Baltimore or Harrisburg (maybe Lancaster). The sole Acura dealership in York is pretty much a study of "Only game in town", developing an exclusivity attitude that doesn't really exist. My Acura TL buying experience actually started last year but was postponed by keeping an old Saab going for another year.... I guess you could say I got the ultimate low price. My wife saw a Blue/Parchment TL and got even more excited when she saw it was a manual - at the York dealership. I knew the pricing, so I offered them 33.5K just to lock it up, no questions or "fluff talk" from the salesman. I'm sure this price appears completely ridiculous to folks in this forum, but remember - we have already saved thousands by just keeping an old car going a year longer. THEY TURNED IT DOWN! We were shocked! We split, my wife was dejected and I just told her that I'd hunt around and give it over to internet sales - we would get a far better price but probably not the exact car she loved. I told her that they're trying to get rid of their "lot queens" down in Baltimore or elsewhere. She agreed. Baltimore was hungry! At one dealership I got the definite feel that they were really trying to to dump one car in particular - it looked really "sunburned" like it sat on the lot all season. They started at 31k with no fees. I said no - didn't like it. They started going lower and I said it wouldn't help, I just didn't like the car. We got to Frankel Acura on the north side and found a price of 31k, (really 31.8 because of mumbo-jumbo fees that everyone knows don't really exist) and the salesman would actually try to find the car my wife wanted. I warned him that we were from PA, so don't deface the front bumper (we don't have front plates in PA) and don't put that stupid dealer logo on the back either. Also save the sticker price and brochure (we like to have this when we sell the car someday to a college student or such - they seem to like that) He was very accommodating - putting up with my idiosyncratic behavior. We gave him the order of preference on color the only hard deck item was that it had to be manual. Couple days went by and he found a blue/parchment TL! We went down and picked up the car and while waiting I casually glanced at the sticker price to see where the car originally came from.... It was the exact same car that was on the York PA lot!
