Replying to: xtabi (Jan 17, 2008 12:15 pm) Where in Ohio did you buy? I got my wife's MDX at Acura of Cleveland. I've got an Audi A4 now which is fine but if the '08 TL's are really being discounted than I am tempted. I had a TL-S loaner about two months ago. Loved the power! The gas miles sucks compared to the Audi Turbo (which still spins its wheels on take-off) and the radio isn't as good but it would be nice to have something that is a little bigger inside than the A4.

Replying to: wbrook (Jan 20, 2008 1:21 pm) the one thing that I hate about it is the torque steer. it drives great, decent power, and corners pretty flat, but if you get on it, you do get torque steer. I recently test drove a used 2006 RL that had only 10k on it. it also had the factory aspec body kit/wheel package. i honestly think it looks better than a TLS - more upscale, and less ricey, while still looking aggressive..yet in a subtle way. not quite as fast - but it feels TWICE as nice inside. it has a very upscale/luxurious look..and I had a chance to really push the RL through a twisty set of roads, and the SHAWD system seems to keep the car more composed through turns. whereas the TL will start to plow... the RL just keeps going. you can tell it's a bigger/heavier car, and on the "fun" factor level it may be a notch lower...but it probaby actually handles BETTER on a long sweeper or a cloverleaf on/off ramp. the price of a low low mileage used RL is near what you'd pay for a new TL-S. RL is way more car. now i've got more decisions. |

If you check their website you will see they currently have 91 TLs. They must be a volume dealer or something. They do a top notch job, no BS. |

I have been following the comments on this forum and they were a big help to me while shopping for our '08 Acura TL w/Navi. We just bought on Sat the 19th, so I thought that I would give our info just in case someone else is in the market. We paid $30,773 which included the destination fee but did not include ttl. I sent out emails to four dealers the previous Mon. and this was the only quote that I received a response on. I then contacted more dealers, but none of them even bothered to get below invoice cost. We test drove a couple more cars during the weekend and then last Thu. I looked on their website, saw they had the color I wanted, sent an email asking them to have the car ready and that I would be there on Sat. to pick it up. We got to the dealer at 1:30 pm and left around 3:45pm. I have NEVER in my life been a party to such an easy transaction! I couldn't believe the price, the service and the time. I would recommend our location to anyone now! I give them 5 out of 5 cars.

Replying to: madmanmoo (Jan 18, 2008 9:19 am) I was a salesman for 6 years in a nationwide health club chain. Not major $30K deals but still dealt with SERVICE and contracts etc. I was the type of salesman that sold on service, I had a service to offer other than the club itself, I had ME to offer. I could give myself to my members more often to help work out, give gifts too {hats, t-shirts} and be there for the members. I dont know how much service a car dealer can give, "Backrubs"  brilliant I was gonna say "Didya want him to pick up your suits at the dry cleaners?"It seemed more to me a 'contest' and a challenge for the OP ed. of this to the salesman, IF your a good enough salesman for ME than you get my business. To a point he has a point, its his money and his hard work to deal it out to whichever salesman convinces him that he is worthy of his money but in the end, its about feeling comfortable with a dealership and getting the best bottom line price and being able to go back for service and getting top notch service. Service guys dont give a rats poop about your sales pitch etc. They could even make your car owning experience bad... I still wish I could get a TL and one day I will get one.

Replying to: jaymk (Jan 21, 2008 1:35 am) I have about 350 miles on it now. I like it The decision was between this car and a BMW 335XI. This car was such a great deal we could not pass it up. It was about $20,000 less than what the BMW was going to be spec'd with the same options. |
