#9025 of 9365 Re: Wow-NAVI $31,300 Out the door [decisions2] by laurasdada Apr 05, 2008 (12:13 pm)
Replying to: decisions2 (Apr 04, 2008 5:55 pm) Smack is correct, at least that is how my '05 works. Little mirror adjustment swithc to left of wheel. Put in right or left position (as if you are going to adjust that mirror) and leave it there. That mirror will tilt down when in reverse.   When I switch cars with the Evil Wife, she leaves it in the middle. So when I again drive the TL, I initially think it's broken! She still hasn't figured out the memory seats...

Replying to: cj69 (Mar 30, 2008 9:17 am) On Saturday 4/5/08 just purchased 2008 Base Model TL for $28700 car price. out the door for $31327. I received 4.9% financing. I live in NJ the fees may be a little different for CT. www.parkaveacura.com Replies to this message: mchalmers (Apr 07, 2008 7:00 pm) jborrelli (Apr 07, 2008 8:41 pm) mchalmers (Apr 08, 2008 6:31 am)

Replying to: jborrelli (Apr 07, 2008 6:03 pm) That seems like a very good price. Did that include destination? Was the 4.9 through Acura?   Thank you! Replies to this message: jborrelli (Apr 07, 2008 8:41 pm) mchalmers (Apr 08, 2008 6:31 am)
#9030 of 9365 2.9% APR vs. $2000 cash back by bkostka Apr 07, 2008 (8:35 pm)
I got an offer today for a Base TL.   Option 1 was to go for $32,200 with 2.9% APR for 60 mos. Plus doc fee of $275.50, tax of $2,517 (at 7.75%). Out the door it's $34,992.   Option 2 was for $30,200 (by giving me $2,000 cash back), but then to finance it at about 5.5% APR for 60 mos. Plus doc fee of $275.50, tax of $2,362 (at 7.75%). Out the door it's $32, 837.   I plan to put $7,000 down. My monthly payments would be $502 for Option 1 and $493 for Option 2.   The dealer was pushing me to take the $2,000 cash back and said it was a better deal.   However, when I got home and crunched the numbers, Option 1 would be better in the long run as I'll pay $32, 217 over the life of the loan versus $33,385 -- for a difference of $1,168.   So why would the dealer tell me to take Option 2, if Option 1 is actually better for me? Any thoughts?   Also, how do these deals sound? Could I push him for $2,500 cash back. Replies to this message: slowcar (Apr 08, 2008 6:30 am) bkostka (Apr 08, 2008 8:31 am)

Replying to: mchalmers (Apr 07, 2008 7:00 pm) Yes that includes destination. The sales manager did a great job educating me that some dealers leave out the destination charge in the car price. Yes the financing is through the dealership. I am not sure if it is through American Honda Finance or another company. I pick up the car sometime this week. I'll ask and let you know. It is 4.9% up to 60 mo. After calling 4 other local dealerships and having them say that they couldn't touch the price, I just went in and signed the papers. I noticed a post for $28500. I was trying to go that low but they weren't having it. Replies to this message: mchalmers (Apr 08, 2008 6:31 am)

Replying to: smack518 (Mar 26, 2008 6:43 am) smack, i live in the philly area and have been pricing the TL-S. Was yours an S type? and, if you don't mind, which dealership gave you the best deal? Replies to this message: smack518 (Apr 08, 2008 6:55 am)
#9033 of 9365 Re: 2.9% APR vs. $2000 cash back [bkostka] by slowcar Apr 08, 2008 (6:30 am)
Replying to: bkostka (Apr 07, 2008 8:35 pm) First off, your price is about $1000 too much and doc fee $275 is way too much. That being said, Option 1 $502 for 60 months and Option 2 $493 for 60 months then how you came up with $32,217 for Option 1 and $33,385 for Option 2 over the life of loan ????? You pay more for each month (Option 1) for the same many months (60) but you end up less at the end??? It doesn't make sense.   Anyway, I believe Option 2 is always better for you because (1) the interest rate difference (%5.5 vs. %2.9) isn't enough to overcome the $2000 cash difference, not to mention tax on this $2000 too and (2) you put down $7000 down payment; thus lessen the effect of 2.9% rate advantage. Good luck. Replies to this message: bkostka (Apr 08, 2008 8:31 am)
