Replying to: m6user (Oct 05, 2009 2:22 pm) I believe the lower sales in September was a supply problem. I recently leased a 2009 TL in Chicago and visited 4 acura dealers in the area. None of the 4 had more than 5 TLs on the lot and their total inventory for all models was less than 40. Normally these dealers had over 100 cars on their lots.   I also heard that acura stopped producing the 2009 TL in early spring and did not start shipping the 2010 TL in earnest until a week or so ago. My salesman said that they had quite a few people come in looking for a specific color choice and left since they had such low stock.   Acura either miscalculated or is limiting supply because of the economy and in order to keep resale values high.

Replying to: mlb11 (Oct 05, 2009 5:48 pm) I was just looking at the sales numbers and I have to admit I was looking at them in a vacumn. If what you say is correct, and I have no reason to doubt you, that may be the reason. When you look at Infiniti G37 sales in comparison it seems that Acura may have missed a lot of sales by having such low inventory. I still think you should be able to cut a decent deal in Oct/Nov timeframe as they have to feeling the pinch.

Replying to: m6user (Oct 06, 2009 7:43 am) I agree - and remember the only data I have is for Chicago, but given that large of a market if 4 dealerships are this low, then I think it could be extrapolated to other regions as well.   In checking inventories last night, it seems that Acura is now delivering more cars. The dealership I purchased from now has about 40 total cars with about 12 TLs - most of them now 2010s.   I think dealers might also be aggressive with pricing as we go into fall since their sales have been squeezed by the lack of deliveries from the factory.

Replying to: m6user (Oct 06, 2009 7:43 am) I agree with M6. Seems that most reports here were that of dealers having low inventory, but I see a lot of references to leftover 09's. Could be a great time to get an '09. Btw, my telephone experience lately with dealers with young female receptionists is that they do not understand what the word 'leftover' means, so be careful, have a definition handy!

Replying to: mlb11 (Oct 06, 2009 8:18 am) Rohrman Acura has the largest 09'TL inventory left in the Chicago area. Still working on a price for the 09' base. Keep you posted.
#10894 of 10989 2010 TL Tech by hewittp Oct 08, 2009 (1:34 am)
I live in the midwest and I got a quote for a 2010 TL+Tech for 37.5K and TL-AWD+Tech for 41K. I thought the price is high. What should be my reasonable counter offer? Also, would you recommend 2010 TL+Tech vs. 2010 AWD (no tech) since the 2 are priced almost the same? (price is a factor). Thanks.

Replying to: hewittp (Oct 08, 2009 1:34 am) For us, traction, nicer seats and other 'amenities' overode (?) the desire for the technological terror of a GPS system. I think all that option has is wonderful, but since this is the most expensive car we have ever bought, (or ever thought we would buy, we couldn't justify the extra cost. Even some dealers said we would be fine with a Garmin, which is what we ended up with. The car is wonderful whatever you get. Replies to this message: mlb11 (Oct 08, 2009 1:10 pm)

Replying to: Chasboy (Oct 08, 2009 6:38 am) I completely agree with Chasboy. We also ended up getting the base AWD TL. The AWD was the most important, plus the sport tuned suspension and performance and 18" tires were pluses as well. We came from an '07 RDX, so even this suspension felt plush.   The nav, stereo upgrade, and keyless are nice, but we couldn't justify the cost. Remember, in order to get real-time weather & traffic you'll also have to pay an additional monthly charge to XM.   The base AWD TL already has many upgrades from the base TL, so the additional $3k for the above 3 items didn't seem cost effective to me.
