#9 of 10989 come on now stickyman ... by djdez Aug 05, 2003 (3:23 am)
the INVOICE price on a TL-S is $29053 ... the BEST deal I've seen is $1000 UNDER invoice, which would make the car around $28000 ... so, that would mean they are eating the holdback, and essentially making NO $$$ on the car !! Are we to believe that YOUR dealer actually sold the car at a $4500 LOSS and even gave you the $500 or so protection package ??? I think not !! You're not telling us something here !   And, WHERE were you able to drive 135 MPH ? Just curious ... lol

"And, WHERE were you able to drive 135 MPH ? Just curious ... lol"   Clearly, you've never spent time in the Boston area.
#11 of 10989 2003 TL Base Package by skynet2500 Aug 05, 2003 (7:48 am)
Is $26500 a good price for 2003 TL??

DJDEZ, Can you tell give me the name of a dealership please. I'm in Michigan and the dealers here are still staying $500 over invoice. I'm willing to travel a bit, especially for $1000 UNDER. Thanks cj
#13 of 10989 $1,000 under invoice by dulnev Aug 08, 2003 (10:55 am)
Couldn't be true. The dealer holdback on Acura is either 2% or 3%. At $1,000 under invoice they'd be selling the car at a loss. Maybe it was $1,000 under invoice but + $500 in junk fees + another $500 in markup on accessories. This I would believe. Replies to this message: nvn (May 02, 2005 9:08 am)
#14 of 10989 New TLS by stickyman Aug 08, 2003 (1:47 pm)
I apologize to everyone for my error. In my excitement of purchasing the 03 TLS, I typed in $23,500 and should have been $29,500.00. I apologize again for the error. In Iowa, between the burp of Hamburg and Rt 2, (I29)there is a great stretch to lay the ears back. The speedo read 135 before I backed off and the wind noise was really low. With the big dig in Boston, I can't see how anyone can get up to 60 much less 70 or 80. Once again my apologies to all but, I love this car....
#15 of 10989 can someone breakdown the fees? by cjfairman Aug 08, 2003 (8:09 pm)
Thank you all so much, your advice has been very helpful. I'm about to wrap up my deal on an 03 TLS. I'm getting conflicting stories from 2 dealers. (I'm sure this shocks everyone here) Anyway, can someone tell me what the real non-negotiable fees are? I'm sure some of you think you didn't pay acquisition fees, or documentation fees, but they were rolled in somewhere right? Or am I wrong? One dealer tells me acqu. fee is $550, the other says $525. One tells me security deposit rounded up to nearest $50 the other says nearest $25. One tells me documentation fee of $160 is "state law". They both tell me that their advertising fee is non-negotiable. This I really don't understand. Isn't advertising under "the cost of doing business catagory?" I advertise for my business too, but I don't tell my patients that I'm tacking on an extra $400 for my ad in last week's newspaper. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The only fee I trust so far is tax, and plates because I know sales tax must be paid. These others just seem like miscellaneous additions. When the dealer says they are non-negotiable, can I tell him that's not true? Are these fees the same nationwide? Can anything be waived? I mean truely waived not just dropping the price and adding them back under another catagory. Thanks board cj

and my sister bought her TL-S w/nav for $31,000 which also includes rear spoiler, mud guards, and free oil changes for life. That was in March.

How does she like the car after 5 months? Has she had any problems? How about mpg? If she had to do it over again, would she buy the TL?

cjfairman, check out the discussions on our Smart Shopper board for some thoughts.   Lots of folks say just negotiate the OTD (out the door) price and don't worry about the fees.   Good luck!
