Several people contacted me regarding the price I paid for 07 TL with Navigation. I paid $33400+TTL, $200 below the $33600 invoice. Bought in Houston, TX. Very cool manager, very nice salesman. It was a pleasant shopping process. When I'm spending 30 some thousand dollars, I wanna be treated well. Before I bought my car, I called dealers in Austin, Dallas. They either gave me higher price or bad attitude on the phone. Here's some short stories. Salesman from Goodson Acura in Irving, TX asked for $500 non-refundable deposit to secure the $33100 price I asked for. Very fishy and dishonest. I said I needed to talk to manager to finalize the price, then I could drive to Dallas the next day. He refused. I said "I only needed a promise", what if I just come tomorrow without paying the deposit, it's not like the car will be sold out. He was like "if you don't pay the $500 deposite now, I can't garantee the price be the same tomorrow. inventory may change, blah blah......." BULLSHIT. This was the BS of all BS I've ever heard. I told him I barely started talking to him 5 mins ago and his promise was not worth $500 of my money. He was like "you called us, we didn't call you." I almost said the F*** word. I hang up, this man was too pathetic. With attitude like this, he will be making very little money live poor for the rest of his life. Then Taiya from David McDavid Acura of Austin tried to sell me a used 06 TL with 8000 miles on it for $34999 + TTL, tried to rip me off. Keep your alert level up when dealing with female salesman. they're just as dangerous as male ones. I told her I could get a brand new 07 for even cheaper than that. I asked if she could do $34000+TTL for brand new 07 with Navi. She said there was no way what so ever she could do that, and she sounded like she had no interest in my business. (Actually I got an offer for that price from a houston dealer already, it's just Austin was nearer to me than Houston) so I said thank you and hang up. San Antonio Gunn Acura doesn't negotiate price, $34799+TTL, and the car had around 600 miles on it. It was an 07, and they wanted to sell it as brand new with so much miles on it. Overall, I'm happy I chose the right place, even though it was a 3 hour drive to houston. Car was clean and got a full tank when the car was delivered. Salesman even paid out of his own pocket to buy chips and peanut from vending machine for my girlfriend. I know it's only a dollar, but it's not about the money, it's about the way he treated us. To all of you still out there car hunting, if I can be of any help, please let me know. my email's niceguysanantonio  gmail.com Good luck to you all. PS: Don't buy accessories except for window tint. you can probably get original Acura accessories cheaper online.

Just want to tell you about the experience I had when I bought my Acura in DFW. (and want to make sure that David McDavid doesn't get any business from honest people) David McDavid quoted me a price and then backed out of the deal stating that they had misquoted me a price with out Navi when I specificly put it in the email. Goodson made me an offer, but "forgot" to add all the fees and such to the quote. Vandergriff, good price, and in and out of the dealership in 30 minutes, great service and honest. Love the car. |

Last week bought a new 06 TL w/o NAV, with 24 miles on it at Weir Canyon Acura in Anaheim Hills. Bought a black/black with the Chrome Acura rims w/Michelin Tires. I paid $ 28,400 INCLUDING the chrome rims (retail: $ 1695/Dealer Cost: $700) Plus, the salesman threw in the protection pkg. for free. Not including the rims,I paid $2600. under invoice. Checked out the 07 extensively, and felt that the small difference was worth saving at least $4500. w/the rims. What an awesome car for $28K. And, as a added perk: my 1st tank of gas, MPG: City: 17/ Highway 35. And to think I almost bought an EXL-6 Accord for just $3500. Less......
