I picked up my base 2008 TL two weeks ago for $27,500 (plus TTL) without the special financing (was told could not be combined). I got an email yesterday from Arlington Acura in IL that the $3500 can now be combined with the special financing. I replied asking for a price quote if I intend to take advantage of the special financing and got ~$27,400 for a base TL and ~29,500 for one with Navi. I regret not waiting a little onger before purchasing as I could have saved about $2000 over the entire term of the loan. Hope helps someone get a better deal. I do know that the color combination I got (and wanted - Carbon Bronze with Taupe interior) is no longer available at any local dealer - trying to make myself feel better here

Replying to: tenbelow (Sep 27, 2008 6:46 am) After picking up the car on Friday night and read you guys' messages afterwards about the new specials, I felt that we were not being treated honestly. I called the dealer on Thursday after learning the price that snm got. The same was very nice over the phone so we made the deal right away. On Friday we went there to finish the paper work thinking Saturday was going to be hectic. Everything went smoothly there. By the time we finished paper work ( in about 1 hour), the car was ready in the delivery bay. The only small catch was in the final pricing sheet there is this 3500 rebate. The sales person explain to us it was a mess up. Since we already agreed on the OTD price when we made the deal, I was not paying too much attention how they do break downs in order to match the final agreed-upon price. After read the messages, I realized that I have over paid by 2500. I called the deal this morning. After hearing me explaining what happened, The manager there was very courteous and promise to call back once he find out what to do. Within 20 minutes, he called back, first thing he said was to apologies because it was a mistake. and he asked us to come back to redo the paper work. We were in the dealership 4 hours later. All the paper work was ready. we signed all of them and got 2500 back and out of there in 2 minutes. So the grant total OTD price is 30250 with splash guard, mat , wheel lock. This is the best deal I ever had in the car purchasing thanks to all of you. BTW, I was told the special ends on Monday.

For those in the Chicagoland area, how is the inventory looking on Base TLs? I'm getting ready to pull the trigger next week.

Replying to: whit5 (Sep 26, 2008 7:52 am) I bought my Type-S at Acura by Executive, but it was their last Type-S in stock. Another dealer I was working with that is closer to MA is Schaller Acura in Manchester, CT - they were straightforward and easy to work with - price was $200 more on the car, but $100 less on the conveyance fee - so a matter of $100 more, but pricing may be easier to get lower as Schaller had a much larger inventory of 08' TLs than Executive. Good luck and if you get a Type-S you won't be sorry, it is a great car! |

Replying to: whit5 (Sep 27, 2008 3:52 pm) I always get hit with a conveyance fee, anywhere from $299 to $399, but I steer clear of Dealers who charge for advertising and marketing fees - it just means they are charging additional money for the normal cost of doing business, ie: running adverts in newspapers, radio, etc... I think your price of $32,200 is great, except I noticed that it did not include destination charge which makes the true offer price $32,200 + 760 destination or $32,960 which is very close to the price I get on carsdirect dot com. I would check out Schaller Acura's website in CT as they were very straight forward and did not try to tack on advertising or marketing fees. Good Luck! Mike
