I was going back and forth as to what color... but in the end decided on "Carbon Bronze Pearl." I'm really happy with the color. The interior is ebony.

Is it worth getting the splash guards if I have to pay for them? I see they are at $138MSRP.
Would be nice if they throw them in for free but if I have to pay for them are they a worthy add, or not to really be bothered if they aren't free?

I would push to have them thrown in, but if they won't you can buy them online (eBay) from Acura dealer in Colorado for around $87. You can install yourself.

Hey there sorry about the delay in getting back to you, I wanted to make sure that the deal was real. I am deployed to Iraq, so I bought the TL as a going home present to myself. I sent my father a power of attorney. the final numbers were almost exactly as the dealer promised. acura TL base (no Nav) 28,800 + 499 Doc fee. this includes everything except TTL. the dealer is Son's Acura outside Atlanta. They were very very professional and helpful. I went through the internet sales dept. I highly recommend them. Now I can add driving my car to the list of things I really want to do when I get home. Including having a nice steak, a beer or two, sleeping in a nice bed, and the obvious

Just bought my 08 TL w/Navi Polished Metallic/Ebony for 31,800 including wheel locks, splash, mats and trunk tray.
Did most of the negotiations via email and the dealership experience was ok. Herb Connolly Acura in Framingham, MA.
Traded in my 03 Civic for 9,200.
I think I did ok. Thanks for all the great info on this forum!

I have purchased 3 cars lately - not by choice necessarily. The first car, a Toyota Prius, option 5, for me, as it was somewhat cheap and gets 49+MPG.. sold a Honda Odyssey Van to get this - and I love the car. After hard fought negotiations, I got the car for .85 of the list price, before all fees, tax and license. I have used this as my basis for a Honda FIT (for my son who had his car stolen in LA!!! But we had insurance which covered the loss!!) and the Acura TL for my wife. So, I used this as my reference for the 2008 TL w/Nav. I also added all weather mats and the wood grain interior kit (for free) so the base price offer was $36,940 x .85 = $31,399 before tax's and fees. I traded in a 2000 S80 T6 with 135,000 miles on it, got $3,500 (dealer started at $1,800 - I got up and started to walk out – the $3500 was Edmunds trade-in value – and I know I got ripped off a bit, the some things wrong with the Volvo) then got the $3,500. I really wanted $4,000 but my bottom line price was $3500. $31,399+$3140 (Tax and fees) = $34,539 - trade ($3,500) = $31,039, they did not take that deal so I added $161 to this (to cover their cost for wood trim kit and all weather mats – less than list price) and was out the door for $31,200. Realize the cost of the car was $34,539 really (w/o trade) out the door.
Good luck to you all. Enjoy your purchase.

TL w/Nav purchase in NJ

Bought a TL w/Nav today, central NJ; carbon bronze w/ ebony; to be delivered Monday.
$32K incl destination plus (tax $2,247; doc fees $349 (oh well!); reg/title $354; all season mats $100; misc $13 - total of $35,063. Felt like I did okay. Got financing at 4.9%.
Struggled a bit with color - I like silver but have two silver cars in driveway already - love black but have had it before and am weary of its issues; so am trying a different color than I would usually go for.
Passed on road hazard warranty - any views on whether that's worth getting? Same thing with body side molding - any views on whether it really safeguards against parking lot dings?
