Mine is a similar question.
 
Dealer claims that there are NO MRP TL-S w/ 6MT in the 3-state (PA/NJ/DE) area.
Since I'm kinda set on the color, I've no choice but to wait a bit and hope that the dealer incentives get better as the '09 release draws near.

I think a lot of folks have had to make the G or TL choice in the last few years. For me, it was the '05 TL over the '05 G35x. My priorities lean a more towards luxury/sport rather than sport/luxury and that is the dichotomy I perceived in the two models. Specifically, for me, what tipped the scales in favor of the TL (and, again, note this was in '05) included:
 
Smoother, quieter ride
Much better exterior/interior style with the TL interior materials/layout much better
Better MPG
Didn't want to carry the extra weight/complexity of AWD. RWD would have required snow tires, which: I've always driven FWD in New England w/all season tires, no issues with snow in 30 years. Until...the TL... Another story... Just bought snows...
 
The new G has addressed the interior nicely as well as a nice subtle exterior upgrade so if I was doing this again, who knows??? So, this probably doesn't help you decide... Sorry 'bout that, Chief!

If you're willing to schlep up to Bergen County, you could ping Troy Dawson at Park Ave Acura. He agreed to my price of $33,850 for a TL Type-S. Just mention that you saw this posting on Edmunds. I also got a quote of $34K even from Angie Davila of Open Acura of Wayne. Ramsey Acura seems to charge a bit more. Just remind the dealers that there is a $2000 dealer cash back until Jan. 2nd. The dealers are aggressively moving the TLs right now. I opted out and decided to get an Infiniti G35X instead. It was a tough decision. If you are a Costco member, the dealers participating in the program usually charge $500 over invoice as a rule of thumb. But, you can use that as a negotiating point to drive them down.
 
Last year, Acura was offering 1.9% financing in January. I would assume that these financing options and will appear along with more discounts like the $2000 cash back again in the next few months. It is the last year for the current TL model which is good and bad. Good in the sense that all kinks have been worked out by now, bad in that there is some emotional depreciation with a new model appearing (assuming that it is better). But, it is still a slick looking car in its 5th year.
 
Good luck!

My advice would be to work it up via an internet buy. You can pretty much eliminate wasting your time by going in person and getting attacked by the salesguys.
 
Do a request for what people paid for their cars.
I just got a 2008TL with NAVI and walked out the door at 32,000 with tax, tag, etc.
Alot depends on your credit. Mine is around 800 which is damn good and drives down int. rate. This makes their deal very appealing for a volume discount to the dealership.
 
Do your homework first. Find the car you want, Color, options (navi or non)
Then start looking at online dealerships. no difference between 2007, and 2008. New 2009 coming out and that will be worth the wait. I needed to replace my old lease so I went for a deal on the 2008.
 
Once you find a good deal, get them to fax it to you in writing. If all looks kosher, go for it.
Are you buying or leasing?
 
One piece of advice, and I dont mean to be chauvanistic. Bring a male friend along when you go to get it. They seem to always try to take advantage of women.
Good luck

I just purchased a 08 TL with Nav for about $32K, without it for about 30K. Acura is offering a discount of 2000 which brings the price for the car below invoice. Offer expires 1/2/08. Check Carsdirect.com for pricing info and use it to negotiate.

I paid $32449 not including tax for the 08 TL with Navigation, $30254 was quote for TL without Nav. I thought the price was fair.

marym2, I got both the $2,000 applied to my purchase and 2.9% financing on an '08 TL (no nav). It's not "cash back", it's factory to dealer cash which most dealers are "sharing" with the customer. I think you could have done at least $1K better.
