They are a great look, but under body spoilers are not standard, they are considered an accessory. Over $1,000 MSRP for all three.

My impression is basically take it easy. The manual says "avoid full-throttle starts and rapid acceleration", "avoid hard braking for the first 200 miles". Driving at varying speeds refers more to not holding at the same speed as in a long road trip. Give it a little time til you see what your babies made of, and these sweethearts are well made.

Anyone else told that Acura "doesn't negotiate" the price on the TL? This is an Oregon dealership...anyone have a better buying experience on a TL w/Navigation? Gave me a price of $37,400...

Thanks for the tips, I really was just poking fun at the brochure which describes the manual-like F1 style paddles (does that make it manumatic?) for "spritited driving". Quite an improvement over my '98 accord 4-banger. So this is what "fun to drive" means...

My experience was with a "one simple price" place here in San Antonio but they have about 1/2 dozen other dealerships (Infiniti, Honda, etc) that are the same way. It is the dealership's policy to be "no-haggle". it is NOT an Acura policy at all. The reason I dealt with them was their "one simple price" was actually very good and quite frankly they are the only dealership in town. I would have gone to Austin or Houston but there just wasnt going to be enough difference to justify the time and effort.
 
Remember this is a game: You want the car for the lowest price, they want to sell it to you for as much as possible. So the TL w/NAV at invoice is around 33,600 - 3% holdback (about 1100) which means they would be making a profit of almost 5k if you bought it for $37,400. For that price I would sell you my brand new type-S and make a nice little profit. I think 33k for a TL w/NAV should be your target price. Do not walk in with a chip on your shoulder looking to pick a fight, but be firm. Most of these salespeople are honest and friendly (that is why they are good salespeople) but remember to think of it as A GAME. You can buy a TL w/NAV for 33k and the dealership will make $500 plus whatever options you add (the margin is huge on those), plus whatever warranties you buy (the margin is huge on those), plus kickbacks on financing, plus you add a sale to their books which contributes to all sorts of factory-to-dealer incentives.
 
Anyway, this place had plenty of TL's and I test drove a really nice grey one with Nav that had the "no-haggle" price of around 33,400 (dont quote me on that, but it was around that price and they had a few that were even cheaper). If the "no-haggle" place has prices like that you better believe other dealerships will too.

The price around 34,000 is that the price before tax?

I got an 07 TL-S at Mullers Woodfield Acura near Chicago. I paid $36,200 and got a pretty good trade on my 06 TL.
 
Totally 100% happy with every part of this car. A DREAM!

Here were my observations (just from dealing with the one dealership in San Antonio and calling a few more in Austin and Houston)
 
1. The TL's with NAV seemed to be very fairly priced from a little under invoice (33,000) and up. The cheaper ones had been on the lot longer and there were several of exactly the same type, mostly white. I drove a carbon gray one that I think was priced around 33,600.
 
2. The Type-S's were plentiful and ranged from 34,999 and up. There were lots to choose from...white and blue seemed to be lowest price.
 
3. The non-Nav's were not as discounted and it really didnt make much sense to even consider them given how close they were in price to those with Nav.
 
4. After looking at websites in Austin and Houston I saw a plethora of TL's in inventory...especially the type-S models.
 
Conclusion:
 
Knowing that the "no-haggle" places are almost always overpriced and based on their prices combined with looking at the invoice prices I would say around 33k + TTL for a TL w/NAV and 35k + TTL for a TL-S are reasonable targets to shoot for (at least in this part of the country).
