Replying to: keith134 (Sep 27, 2006 2:00 pm) Keith,   I think all three dealerships troll this website to figure out what the other one is going to. If you scroll up you'll see krlesch got his for less than $32500. To be honest with you, I was VERY unimpressed with Bloomington Acura as far as professionalism goes. Buerkle is the place to buy in this town I think. You may want to start with the internet contact person there. I was going to go to Madison WI where I had a $32000 deal lined up. If you want to drive to Chicago, people are getting them there for $31500-31800. I don't know how worth it it is to you to drive to save a couple hundred bucks (ie time and gas money). Again, once I had a price at Buerkle, there was no more haggling or BS, and my salesperson spent almost 1.25 hours with me showing me all the bells and whistles. I was very impressed. I've bought 3 new cars in the last 7 years, and this was by far the best experience.   One other suggestion I have is to line up your money for the car now (ie get the loan or cash if you're paying cash, and walk in with a blank check and let them see you'll pull the trigger right then and there). To give the sales people credit, they must get tons of "feelers" put out to them, but when you show up ready to buy with the money lined up, I think it helps. Also, if you really are patient, I think you are right, you'll get the car for the price you want. Hold your cards tight. The only thing with waiting is if they get rid of most of the '06s, you might not get the exact color you want; however, if you are ok with 3-4 colors, then you should be fine. The car is AWESOME!! I absolutely love it! We looked at VW, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, and Infinity, and as far as car for the money, I don't think the others touch it. I just can't pull the $45k-55k trigger right now, and cars are poor places to put money anyway... I digress. Replies to this message: keith134 (Sep 30, 2006 1:00 pm)

Replying to: kennyg8 (Sep 28, 2006 8:27 pm) Thanks. I'm in the same boat as you taking public transportation during the work week. Voice command is cool but the navigation could use some work. I ask to show nearest post office near me in Queens and it brings up a list of ones in LI. Replies to this message: eseir (Sep 29, 2006 6:38 pm) kennyg8 (Sep 29, 2006 9:24 pm)
#6885 of 9716 I am the one who posted about the $26850 bse car but I ended up getting.... by eseir Sep 29, 2006 (6:38 pm)
Replying to: gonein60sec (Sep 29, 2006 5:30 pm) a brand new one for $29500 plus the $499 dealer fee (so essentially $29,999) for a base TL. I think the $26850 would have been a very fair deal BUT when you consider the fact that it is already a one year old car and soon to be a two year old car, Maybe buying a new one at these prices vs what people where paying even a year ago, the new one makes it more of a compelling buy. Also the 05 had 2.5 years left of warratny vs the 4/50K that I am getting now. ANd just as important, all the 06's include a 6/70K powertrain warranty not available in the earlier years. Then you got the choice of color thing , free oil change and everythng starts to look even better. Granted a low mileage 05 with 5800 miles is a rare find. BUt as someone else mentioned here. They are using the "old person" used to own the car. Who knows? It is a Lexus dealer, but sometimes you have to question why is it that a 1.5 year old car has 5800 miles. At any rate this is one incredible car. A lot of car for the money. I drove a G35 and yes, it is a fast car, but not even close in quality of materials, equipment, and value. I also consider a loaded VW Passat 3.6. The car is superb, It was about $2500 cheaper, but the realibility, long term resale, and dealer service or network was a big concern. LOve the car, the toys, the color (Pearl white with beige), and the looks. Enjoy!

Replying to: gonein60sec (Sep 29, 2006 5:30 pm) goingin60, just received a refund check from Curry for overpaid DMV fees. I didn't expect the check, which I will use for a tank of gas.   Yes, the navi is not perfect, because it does not always give you the shortest direct route. Also, like you said, sometimes the search function gives you irrelevant stuff. All in all, I think it is one of the better stock navi systems. If you venture over to the Avalon board, you will see many complaints about Avalon's navi.
#6887 of 9716 New 2006 Silver/Black TL 6-speed non-NAVI Louisville, KY by lewhnh Sep 30, 2006 (7:41 am)
I closed the deal on a new TL yesterday at Acura of Oxmoor in Louisville, KY: Price: 30750 Dealership fee: 400 TTL: 1865 Total: $33,015 I've had issues with this dealership (and other Louisville-area Neil Huffmann-owned dealerships) before and was reluctant to go back, but dealt with a good salesman this time around. They almost lost me on his day off when I spoke with the used car sales manager (would not even consider matching offer from another dealer), but ultimately I went with the convenience of buying in town. The car was driven down from Columbus and not ready when I went in to do the paperwork, so the salesman delivered it to my house last night. I spoke with dealers in Nashville, Lexington, and Indianapolis, and was prepared to drive to any of them if they offered a better deal. Oxmoor get to within ~$250 of Lexington's deal, and my wife preferred silver to Nashville's black/ black, so I stayed at home. Many thanks to those of you who posted information on your deals. It certainly helped me save some money on mine! I'm already in love with the car, even though my driving time was cut short by the Stones concert at Churchill Downs.   One final bit of advice that I found online that I'll share here... I applied for a loan at Lending Tree and literally got a phone call from Capital One within 5 minutes of hitting the button. They overnighted me a blank check, which helped to get me a lower rate at the dealer. They were originally in the 8.5 to 9% range until I quoted them my Capital One rate of 6.35%, which they beat by 0.02%. One further bit of information: they never saw any documentation from Capital One, so I could have told them they quoted me even less. Just a thought... Now, I'm going for a drive!
#6888 of 9716 Update from Louisville by lewhnh Sep 30, 2006 (12:31 pm)
I went back today to sign the paperwork for the loan, and they had added $70 for some kind of fees to be paid to the bank, lein filing etc. I was pretty PO'ed, so I threatened to go home to get the Capotal One check. The finance manager then offered to reduce my rate from 6.33 to 5.84%, effectively saving me ~$400 over 60 months. I accepted, then had them roll the xzilon protection package into the loan, resulting in about the same payment as originally agreed. Makes me wonder how low they really COULD have gone on the rate. Just another way the dealer makes money.

Replying to: caltman (Sep 29, 2006 3:25 pm) Caltman,   Thanks for the info. I'm ready to pull the trigger on the purchase currently, so I really only went to Bloomington Acura to make sure that I liked the '06 TL and compare with a the comparably equipped all wheel drive '05 BMW 330xi with 25K on the lot. The BMW was nice to drive but the interior felt a little on the cheap side considering that the car cost over 45K new! The TL was just as tight to drive, had a little more room and felt more luxurious.   I am paying cash without a trade so I'm ready to go. I don't care about the color of the car (as long as it's not black or white) so I'll take whatever they have when the price is right!   Call me old school but I found the Navigation a little distracting, so I think I'll forego it.   As for the dealerships in the Twin Cities, I won't go to Bloomington now merely because I'm irritated with the tactics of the "Internet" sales person there. The internet person at Beurkle was very attentive and responded to every email very quickly so maybe it's worth the drive over.   I'm just bummed that I can't seem to get the prices that folks are getting in Chicago.....

Replying to: nfurlow (Sep 18, 2006 7:44 am) Have you completed the sale? Do you recommend the Beaumont dealer?
