Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Acura TL Prices Paid and Buying Experience

You are in the Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum. Your Hosts are car_man & kyfdx
| Does anyone have any indications of pricing on a base TL without navigation in the Memphis area? Are people getting prices nearer to invoice or MSRP. The Edmunds/CarsDirect/Etc. are quoting prices right around sticker while most other areas of the country (based on this forum) seem to be getting closer to invoice price. Anyone have any info? | |
I love my '06 Acura, but I'm totally sorry I didn't get it with the navi.  So... I want some thoughts from you. Right now I have 2850 miles on the car. It's in perfect condition except a small chip on the edge of the driver's side door which I will have fix by a professional. I know this isn't the time of year to buy. So, am I better off holding on to the car for another two years and then buying a new one? I got my '06 at the end of November for 28,300. Should I just suck it up and go buy an aftermarket Garmin? (BTW.. I always sell my cars by myself and unless circumstances warranted it, I'd never do a trade in.) Any thoughts would be appreciated.

After reading this post for months I finally made my purchase. A 2007 TL/Navi silver w/black interior for $33,450 & free tint & free oil change and filter for 4yrs or 50,000 miles + TTL. I negotiated my deal over the internet and telephone then went to pick up my car. I live in Houston where we have 4 Acura dealers. It was the end of the month and I had all the Acura deals biding against each other to lower the price. I picked up the car January 30th . I missed the 4.9% APR from the dealer by my credit union had a January special of 5% APR. This post was soooo helpful in helping me set my price. The deal I got was much better then I expected.

Instead of spending ~$1500 on an extended warranty, self-insure! As the original warranty is 4 year/50k miles, take the $$$ and instead of buying the warranty, conservatively invest (CD, T-bills, Money Markets et. al.) it for the duration of the original warranty. If after the warranty expires you do not need any expensive repairs, you still have YOUR money + interest/dividends (e.g. invest for 4 years  5%/yr you'll have ~1825!!! still, in YOUR possesion!). If, per chance, there is a pricey failure, you still have YOUR money + interest/dividends to pay for the repair. I would have to believe that, espacially for Honda/Toyota products, that the odds are severely stacked in the house's favor re: extended warranties. I recently owned a first model year Chrysler product, odds would seem to be in favor of an expensive out of warranty repair? I kept the 300M for 2.5 years/31,000 miles out of warranty and no failures whatsoever. I won! Used the extended warranty $$$ I kept invested as down paymemt on my '05 TL. Needless to say, no extended warranty. Having written all this, if you can't sleep at night without the extended, by all means as vicnations advises, negotiate the price! |
