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

man, I am so glad that someone else pointed this out!. I dont know if it is layziness or lack of time that some posters here have, but just like you, I wish people here stop posting OTD prices. Heck, I wish that OTD letters did not exist. Its like comparing apples to golf clubs...exactly, no relevance whatsoever.
 
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!

2007 for $27,000 by ohiocarbuyer

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?

TL Type-S in the Chicago Area by car_enthu

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!

For $27K (before TTL) you can get a 2008TL base model. Call around to other dealers in Cincy, Columbus, and Cleveland. Give the dealer you price and stick to it. Don't negotiate up from the price or you lose the upper hand.
 
Even with the market being up yesterday, people are not buying cars right now and it will get worse by the end of the year for the dealers.

From what I have seen and heard, you ought to be able to get a brand new 2008 TL for around $28,000 with the current incentives. If that's the case, the price on a used 07 w/15k miles is absurdly high. I wouldn't pay any more than $23-24k.
 
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.

Enjoy your car. I don't care for the 09s. I now have 5K miles on my 08 S and the mileage is much better than the sticker. Just got 33 and 32 MPG on 280 mile trips. This is actually better than my 01 Accord V-6.

I agree with some of the posters. I’ve been following up this forum for a couple of months.
people posting brand new 2008 base TL for around $28,000, some posted even less then that.
 
Plus you can get much better financing on the new model. I think 0.9% -36 or 2.9%- 60 month.
Check out incentives and rebates on the new cars section. And you can combine this with $3500 cash back

You should be able to pick up a NEW 2008 for 28 to 28.5K.
I just priced 29.3K one in on carsdirect.com in zipcode 44016 (Cleveland Heights area...use to live there while back).
 
As far as VW goes get a REAL value by posting on
real world trade in values board here on edmunds..
Then advertise it on craiglist
 
my two cents
