Any good dealers in Virgina? by bobaquino

I was trying to work a deal on a 06 TL with Nav at Priority Acura in Chesapeake VA. The best price I could get them down to was 31690 which I thought was a bit high, but was within reason. Another local dealer wanted 31750 but didnt have the color we wanted. We had worked on the price without talking about tradeins till tonight. We wanted to get around 13,5 for our 03 TL but they were about 2 grand shy. My feeling was if we couldn't come to terms on the deal with the trade, then no harm no foul. These guys decided to go for the hard sell and beat me up on trying to get the best price for the new car and my trade. The general manager was outride rude. Needless to say it left quite a sour taste.
 
Has anyone gotten a good deal in or around VA/NC or MD? If you have, please post the dealer and the price. We are looking for an 06 with Nav. Thanks.

06 TL with Navi $30,600 / $33,127 OTD by speedwgn1

Just parked my color choice new 06 TL with Navi in the garage! It's so sweet. The $30,600 includes dest charges. My OTD was $33127, which includes 7% sales tax. That's one of the best OTD prices I've seen on this board.
 
What makes this deal so sweet is that its inlcudes wheel locks and the all weather custom floor mats. If you consider the consumer's costs of these two items the deal is much lower than $30,600. Like many of us here, I didn't want to haggle too long to save another $100 or $200. I c ompleted the deal in less than 1 hour. Time is money! Good luck to everyone here.
 
PS~The Mrs. is looking at the 07 MDX - wish me luck.

Just to add to the collective: Tomorrow picking up a 06 TL/Nav Auto with the protection package (mats, wheel locks, etc.) for 30,450 + Tax + License).
 
The info on this forum has been invaluable. Hope all goes well tomorrow.
 
Thank you!

carbuyer13,
 
I found a message on one of these boards (some other car make) about someone driving to Bellingham to get their special Costco price and the price was actually $200 higher than the quote from their local dealer.
 
I did fill out the Costco form and submitted it. Got an email from the one Acura dealer that has a deal with Costco - Bellevue Acura. Was told I HAD to go to their dealership to get a quote. I live in Tacoma - after dealing with Hinshaw and their 'tude, I'm not willing to drive to Bellevue where I might not get a good price.
 
Of course it would have to be better than Hinshaw - who never bothered to give me a price.
 
You may be right about TLs in the NW - which is why I'm seriously considering the Lexus IS250 and Infiniti G35 (which I have a huge crush on right now). I think the TL is probably a great car but it's not as sporty as I want and after dealing with Hinshaw and Bellevue, I'm pretty turned off by Acura dealers. Since Hinshaw is the only one in my local area, I don't want to deal with them.
 
I really just want to feel like I'm getting a good deal and that I can respect the dealership enough go back to their service area. I don't know if that's possible with an Acura around here.

I live in New Mexico, but just wanted to share my experience with attempting to trade a 2001 TL about two months ago. I had a mint TL with 49,000 miles. Dealer offered about $11,800 in trade for a 2006 TL. Not what I wanted, so I advertised it myself for $13,700. I had it sold in a day at my price, and had two more potential buyers waiting in the wings. If you're car is in decent shape, it should be an easy sale. There is a good market out there. Good luck.

I bought an 07 TLS - one of the very first ones. I got a quote from a Portland dealer for $1000 under MSRP. The Bellevue dealer in Washington State wouldn't match it, but they were competitive and treated me well, so I bought from there. I saved hundreds over the costco price. Anyone else out there bought a TLS yet?

Thinking about buying a base 07 TL w/NAV... how likely is it that the prices will drop from the competition with 2007 G35 & IS?? In the next month or two, that is. vroom5, are you from WA or OR? Did you try any of the other Seattle-area Acura dealers and did they knock anything off MSRP at all?

Follow up to last night. The salesman called me at work asking what could be done to make a deal. Now they are offering an extra 1500 on the trade, about 500 away from what I wanted. I laid into him a bit telling him that we walked away from the dealership last night just a bit pissed for the way we were treated. I told him it wasnt how he handled it but rather the general manager who did most of the harm. End of the month is fast approaching and this dealer has a few 06's on the lot so maybe they will soften up another 500, we'll see.
 
Yes I know I can sell the car myself and easily get what I wanted for a tradein, usually I sell them that way but this time I guess I am being somewhat lazy and would rather trade it. In any event, I am going to wait another day or so and see what develops. For all I know, the dealer cash on the car could increase in Nov., I doubt it will go away since it seems that there is an overabundance of 06 TL's out there with the new 07's coming in.

header1,
 
Thanks for your info. I called Costco to see what the prices were and got the same story. Bellevue is the only dealer near me also. I believe the others were Bellingham and Vancouver, WA. So now I'm waiting to hear back from Bellevue to set up an appt. But I'm getting the feeling that the Costco price won't be the best deal, just less hassle to get a respectable price. Maybe the thing to do is to get the costco price and then deal with internet managers for these dealers to try to get them below the costco price.
 
The Lexus IS is sweet. That was a car I was interested in also. Good luck with that...and I'll be sure to let you know how my experience is with them.
