Offered $31,000 for a 2007 TL w/ no NAV based off of Consumer Reports bottom line ($30,509 dealer invoice). Following response is: "Your offer is a good one. However, it is below my true dealer invoice which I cannot do. Washington state dealer Invoice on that car is $30,848 (invoice) + $150 (NW advertising fee) + $200 (PDI/Post Delivery Inspection) + $670 destination) = $31,868. This also doesn't include the Protection Package (splash guards, trunk tray, wheel locks) $384.57 which brings the price to $32,252.57. So where your offer is a good one, I need for it a bit stronger and closer to true Washington State Dealer Invoice." OK, invoice is about $350 more than Consumer Reports. What concerns me is the "NW advertising fee", "Protection Package" and the "PDI". What is all of this and is this something I can just say NO too? I definately feel it is not justifiable from a buyers standpoint. I also read in another discussion that the Protection Package is pure dealer profit. This is our first purchase of a luxury sports sedan so I'm just making sure I've got everything covered. Thanks! |

Why is it that the Edmunds True Market Value is significantly higher than most prices paid that are included in this forum? Should the staff (or computer formula) who calculate TMV be factoring in some of the up-to-date info from this and other forums? Based on browsing forums for several cars I'm considering, it appears that the Edmunds TMV is useless and that these forums are a great help in finding out what a good price should be for a new car.  For example, when I pointed out to several Acura dealers (when getting e-mail quotes over the past couple of weeks) that the web shows that I can get a 2007 base TL for $30K or less they all adjusted their quotes to $30K +/- a hundred bucks. These dealers are in the DC Metro area.

Replying to: 09tlawd (Aug 26, 2007 8:15 am) Edmunds.com has a proprietary system for calculating TMV. Obviously, they don't disclose exactly where the information comes from. I'm fairly certain that they don't use the Prices Paid Forums for the information. Another thing to consider. Most CarSpace.com forums users are doing serious research about pricing, before they buy a car. TMV takes into account the whole market. regards, kyfdx Host-Prices Paid Forums |

Replying to: kev10 (Aug 18, 2007 2:34 pm) Can you email me the name of the sales person. My email address is mohans60  hotmail.com. I did have a price quoted to me and was changed just when I wanted that confirmed by email.

We are in the D.C. area and there aren't many Acura Dealers nearby. I have been quoted invoice (roughly $30,800) on a 2007 Base TL w/o Navi. That does NOT include Destination or TTL, so OTD will be roughly 33,500. Dealer won't budge below invoice on base price. We are using 2.9% financing. Please help --- Is this at least a decent price?? I am not willing to fight for the last $100 or $200, as we are in a hurry to buy, but I don't want to be stupid. MANY THANKS.
