Hey guys (and gals), I assume you can all do a little math to get your own OTD prices based on the state taxes where you live? But asking others in the forum to give OTD prices is ass backwards and makes cross state comprisons messy. Do they live in Delaware (0 sales tax), California (8%+) or somewhere in-between. In PA, you only pay tax on the difference between a new car and a dealer trade, so my OTD price was meaningless to anybody without a trade, when I had one worth $22k and only paid taxes on a $10k difference. In some states, the sales tax varies county by county. You don't really want to get that personal trying to compare prices, do you?? I suggest posting and asking for the bottom line cash price (including dealer add ons), but before sales tax . That's the only way to compare apples to apples, unless you are really into other fruits and useless comparisons. And if you are old enough to drive, but didn't learn decimal multiplication by the 4th grade, move to Delaware and you'll still be fine

Can anybody share their buying experience/ prices for the 2009 TL???? In full agreement with habitat1 when he suggests that members of this forum inform the OTD as the price paid or quoted with all the fees... but before the sales tax. I have been told that due to the current financial situation and the unfortunate timing for the release into the marketplace of the new 2009 TL they would be offering a some kind of manufacturer's marketing asistance... anybody heard about this??? Thanks

Replying to: habitat1 (Oct 13, 2008 3:16 am) I've posted before that all we need to do is post the price of the car you are getting or already bought (cap cost in case of a lease) and that will help us, potential buyers, much better that that OTD crap. Also the details of the deal in case that you got goodies (mud flaps, mats, wheel locks, etc). Anyways, let me go back to look what Apple is doing today to see if I can afford the car again...damm market! |

To everyone who is supporting the "first time" Acura buyers...a big thank you. I am looking at a 2007 TL BASE model listed at $27,990 at Park Acura - OHIO Miles: 15,879 Exterior Color: White Diamond Pearl Interior Color: Tan Leather Transmission: 5-Speed Automatic w/OD Working with the dealer he agreed on $8,000 for my 03 VW Jetta with 90k miles, which they originally offered $5,500. I asked for $8,000 because Edumnds.com has that as the trade-in value. After 3hrs the dealer dropped the price to $27k from $28k and agreed to $8k for the Jetta. Explained that he was giving a "great price" for my Jetta. Funny how that is the same price as edmunds this is a "great price." I feel that they can come off the 28k original price and apply the $8k for the Jetta. These figures don’t include taxes or fees, anyone with insight?

Hello, I am looking to get a TL Type-S and was wondering if anyone had purchased one in the Chicago area recently. Would appreciate if you could share information on the price and the dealership. Also -can the $3,500 rebate be combined with the 36 month 0.9% APR financing? Thanks!

Replying to: ohiocarbuyer (Oct 13, 2008 6:48 pm) Unfortunately, the current market conditions also mean that dealers aren't willing to give much in trade in. And Edmund's prices probably don't reflect that. My Acura dealer in western PA offered me a spectacular deal on a new 2008 MDX Sport ($38,500 price on a MSRP of over $45k). But then only offered us $15k on our 2005 which, according to Edmunds, should be worth $21k+. They weren't trying to screw us, as the price on the new MDX was fantastic - it's just that used prices have suffered as well. Frankly, a 6 year old 90k mile VW isn't exactly a sexy trade and they may be planning on having to send it to auction. My recommendation is that you first negotiate a good cash price on the TL. And then, if you don't like the trade-in they offer, sell your VW privately. But going back and forth on two negotiations simultaneously is playing into the hands of the dealer. And I also recommend that, if they don't get MUCH more realistic on the price of the used 07, you shop around for a new 08. The deals are out there. |
