(exception being the Infinity I-35/37 AWD,
 
I think you meant the G35/37. They haven't sold the "I" in several years and I don't believe they ever made it in AWD. Anyway, I agree that tech is really getting popular(myself included) and I do like to keep cars 7-9 years. Thats the rub. I'm a little leary of tying up that much cash in tech that may break or become somewhat dated down the road.
 
I'm not all that familiar with leasing but I thought the residual was an estimate on the cars worth at the end of the lease that is used to base payments and price that the car can be purchased for at the end of the lease. How does it function as protection for the dealer/Acura? If it is set too low payments would be high and less competitive, if set too high payments would be low but the dealer could be stuck. If set accurately it would benefit both parties equally I would think.

Not sure where you got the info on what a residual is but in my last 4 leases, it has never enticed me to extend my lease or purchase at lease end. If the residual is calculated correctly, then it should be an accurate value of the car at lease end. Because Acura's depreciate less than other brands, their cars typically are worth more than the residual value - so you're better off selling, keeping the positive equity and putting it down on another vehicle.
 
Who knows how valuable the tech package will be - in my experience it is not important when selling however. If you follow auto reviews and promotions to advise you on the importance of the tech package then the marketing is working.
 
Concerning AWD not being popular on cars, do they sell Subarus or Audi Quattros in metro-Denver? They're everywhere in Chicago.

Oct pricing by acurafan11

I finally closed a deal on AWD with Tech for 36700. I got the same price a couple of months back as well but I think its still good . may be they made 400 dollars off me. Keyes in LA was willing to sell it for 36200 but their dealing is very pressurizing and I resent that.
 
Now I can stop researching and enjoy the car. Good Luck with your purchase guys.

Ya... its a 09. I dont think they will discount a 2010 that much. ALso. I did not care for the manual trans so it was an easy decision.

The buying experience was nice at Thomas. I did not negotiate much as I knew it was agood deal. They threw in the wheel locks as freebie. We discussed the price on internet and the whole process was complete in half hour.
 
The finance deptt wanted to "inform" us about all the goodies, but once we said that we are not interested , they behaved professionally as well. Overall we liked our dealing with them.
 
They have two more 09's left. if anybody is interested give them a call.

I have look at several dealership for the best price on 2009. I am not having the success that some posts I have read. What should I expect to reasonable pay for a 2009 TL Tech? Quotes range from 34,800 to 36,100 with pro pkg. Your input is appreciated as well as dealer reccomemdations in the states within 500 miles of North Carolina.

Mel, there have been so many posts of all manner of deals, I don't know where to steer you other than if the prices whomever is quoting you on an 09 are not good, try some other dealers by email. The 2010's are out, so any dealer with an 09 ought to wake up.
