Replying to: billiken (Sep 05, 2007 8:29 pm) The proper answer is noone knows for sure. But there are a few thoughts on it. First, it is very likely Acura will add SH-AWD to all their cars, so the new TSX and new TL will get it. This will surely push the price up maybe $2K - $5K. If this happens then my guess is the current TL will hold some value as the new one would possibly be priced out of some's range making the current model more attractive. Also depends on how much people like the 09, many love the current TL and are nervous on what Acura may do to the current TL. Looking back at the 03 TL it seems to still have good resale considering it is a 5 year old car and the previous body style. The TL jumped about $3K from 03 to 04 and the older TLs are still very desirable cars. From what i have seen of the 09 TL spy shots I am not sure I will like it, they moved the Navi up int he dash and it is a big hump in the dash similar to the MDX. Also looks like all the Acuras are going to the BMW-like idrive controller and no more touch screen. I perosnally hate the ugly controller knob in the Acrua's and new 08 Accord. I beleive my next car will be a G35 as i liek the way Infiniti incorporated the nav screen and their controller much nicer than the way Acura is doing it. Also the Infiniti is also still a touch screen as well. As for your out the door price, is that with tax and tags and doc fees? You shoudl be able to get a 08 TL for $500 over invoice and including the goodies you mentioned. I just paid $36,138 for a 08 TL-S with all the goodies you mentioned.

Replying to: keithl (Sep 07, 2007 4:54 am) It does make sense that the current version may hold its value as with the 2nd gen models (and perhaps the higher price that the 4th gens may go for). My quoted price was for everything but TTL for the 08 with Nav. This puts your 08 TL-S at $1,638 more than the TL with NAV (if your price included all but TTL). A good deal. Were you able to determine what invoice is for the 08s? |

Can someone please post the invoice Price for a 2007 TL (5-Spd AT w/ Navigation System)? Edmunds has the invoice price listed as $33,137 + destination charge. MSN.com has the invoice price listed as $32,953 + destination charge. Which one is correct? Thanks. |

Replying to: alicia4 (Sep 10, 2007 7:44 am) Have you driven any other cars with sport type suspensions? When driving a car like the TL or even the Jetta my fiance calls the ride rough or maybe even bouncy, whereas I would call it "firm" or taut. If you traded in a standard passenger car with what I call a "floaty" suspension, then you might indeed feel the TL as rough or bouncy. Find a friend with a BMW or another Acura and take them for a ride. If they too find the ride bouncy, then there might be a problem, although I can not think of anything that would make a new TL noticeably "bouncy". That's why I think people should drive any new car on a road you have actually driven a few times before you buy it. I was just in a Mazda dealer and they actually have a test drive route map that was conceived by a person that visits each dealer and designs a test drive course on the nearby roads. I plan on learning this route, and then driving it several times in my car before I test drive any new cars on it. You might also consider that the design purpose of the TL is a luxury GT, which means the car handles like a sports car but has luxury appointments. Sporty suspensions are designed so you can feel the road surface and be more connected when driving hard. I have an acquaintance who recently bought a new Cadillac and had been raving about how he hated the way the new cars ride and nothing could match his 92 Caddy. Well, I drove both cars (he kept the old one). The old Caddy drove like a royal piece of crap. It floated like a beach ball on rough seas. The car had no road feel or control, yes you did not feel the road surface like a new car, but it was actually scary to drive for me. I actually considered this "floaty" ride to be "bouncy" but in the sense of the word meaning it would move up and down at about the rate of a kid on a pogo stick. I hope that helps.
