Good luck with your new Acura! Your gas mpg...made me question if you may be using regular gas instead of premium gas as the car calls for. From what I have read regular gas will take a huge "bite" out of your mpg. I know this is not the forum for this....but please look in on the premium vs regular gas Acura forum. I read some great info. there!!

I actually use Chevron Supreme...91 ...that's what's recommended for the car....I think the reason for my lousy MPG is that I only drive around 20 miles or so each time...mostly within the neighborhood....my freeway driving is minimal.....even with that though...I was hoping to get 18MPG as it states on the standard specs for city driving.....

Thanks for the info. Stevens Creek quoted 30,899 including destination, plus fees (for cash sale). We bought our MDX from them 2 years ago and they were completely straight with us (pricing all done over the internet) but maybe I should contact Serramonte and Marin - they're both closer than San Jose. Elk Grove (near Sacramento) quoted 32K, then told me to bring in a written quote and they'd match it. 2 years ago they renegged on price when we got there.

Traded my '03 CLS w/ 50K miles - needed 4 tires - had electrical problems & needed 45K service - bad FAX due to $12K rear end accident. Also needed new tabs. Bought '08 grey TL Nav w/protection package.
CL Trade in + $22,435.00 OTD. Financed balance at BOA at 4.95% w/no finance fees. Maybe not the best deal - but, Acura Of Bellevue & Acura Of Lynnwood wouldn't even touch it. Thanks for everyone's help & info - it was truly invaluable. THIS IS ONE HECK OF A GORGEOUS CAR !! Now I just need to learn about all the incredible bells & whistles.
SOS - Save our Sonics !!

That's a good price.....I went over my purchase contract and my total including fees....no sales tax..... is $30,792.75. Includes the destination title etc.
Are they quoting the options? , the protection package, which includes the wheel locks, trunk tray, all weather mats, and color matched splash guards with it? just wanted to make sure we're comparing apples to apples here....that's what my price includes.....
To make it easier for the other dealers to match...try to get the OTD price...and have them match that...much easier....so you know your actual total by the time you get them to agree to a price.
Try to get them to email you the quote...makes it so much easier since you have proof of what they quoted you....Marin might be eager to match or beat that by $200 or so ...I didn't even need to email them the offer..talk to the General Sales Manager...look on marin acura's website to see who it is.... and not just anyone there...he's the one who would negotiate everyone else won't give you a deal....Serramonte would want something in writing....serramonte, the internet department is best.....if they send you an email....contact the person on the email by calling them to see if they'd match the price you got...but you'll need an email to send to them....

Hi, kayak162,
Does this one come with navigation? Is $29,700 before TTL or after TTL?
Thanks for the info.

Thanks to you and others for your assistance. I bought the 08 TL with Navi today from Serramonte in Daly City/Colma. They quoted 30,600 (includes destination) for any TL/Navi on the lot - they put that in email (no financing). I called - they had the interior and exterior color that I wanted, so I drove down there. The internet sales guy was a delight to work with, as was the lady who did the contract paperwork. Including a test drive of each of the 2 cars I was interested in, I was in and out in 2.25 hours. Excellent buying experience. Total out the door cost was 33,320 (that's at 7.75% tax).

Base TL no Nav, and it's before TTL. It seems, we are paying more for it than folks down in Northern CA.

I'm curious about sales tax. Power Acura South Bay is in Los Angeles County, and the sales tax is 8.25%. Orange county's sales tax is 7.75%. Maybe the sales tax is based on where you live, not where the dealer is located. I live in Ventura County (7.25% sales tax), and I'm also shopping for a 08 TL w/Nav. Can someone shed some light on how sales tax is decided?

Sales tax is usually determined where the address of the vehicle registration will be.
