I'm also looking for a Type-S. Problem is, there are not that many of them left. I've been scouring the internet contacting different dealers throughout the country. My experience so far has been that if you're in the 32K+ range, you're doing pretty well (that would still be over 3000 below invoice). If you want a particular color, you have to really look for it too. I sort of low-balled one of the dealers, and they came back saying that they would not budge on their initial offer! Now I'm playing the awful waiting game. In addition, if I find one out of town somewhere, I would expect to have to pay some kind of transfer fee to get it to my town, unless I make a major time and gas investment to drive it all the way back. What do you think?

I bought an 08 S about 7 months ago for 33.4 plus TTL from Rizza in Chicago. Given the extra $1k available now and the limited supply I would suggest you go ahead. The new S will be more complex and will cost you at least probably 10K more when it comes out.

im planning on holding out till around xmas and new year, if i dont get one for the price im looking for , i will go for a MB C350 or Lexus...i honestly dont think paying over $32k is worth it on a 08 TYPE-S NOW, just my opinion, cause come the new yr. that car will depreciate a ton.

that's true, but i'm planning on keeping the car for a good 7-10 years, so the depreciation may not matter all that much to me. thanks, al

Price Paid 2009 Acura TL Tech Package by lware

Austin TX area dealer.
 
Price Paid: $36,500 + $400 + TTL in a few extras that I didn't have the guts to negotiate off after arriving (finally) at the $36,500 price. I believe the $400 included a trunk tray/liner, 4 wheel locks, something else that I cant remember now, that wasn't terribly substantial.
 
There was a trade involved. 2003 Merc CLK500 for $15,000 credit. 54K miles, loaded with everything but a built in phone. (distronic, parktronix, xenons, navi, etc)

The extra add-on that I forgot were the splash guards-- good to have.

That sounds like a great deal. Where did you get it?

Thanks for your input. The offer that I have now is 32,985, which includes a very high doc fee, but does not include TTL. I think this is a fair deal.
 
A major issue, however, is that this is an out-of-state purchase, and I am planning on closing the deal by phone/fax/Fedex, then having the car delivered to me. Any idea if this is a risky proposition? What are the chances I will get a lemon?! This is a brand new car from what appears to be a legit Acura dealer. Wonder if any problems I might run into over the ensuing weeks/months can be fixed at a local Acura dealer and covered by the factory warranty, or would this turn into a blame game between manufacturer and dealer of origin, with me left holding the bag?
