Good Deals to be had by kupe15

I just purchased a 2005 RL, Black w/parchment (tan) interior at Acura of West Chester, PA. $42,900 base and I loaded it with 18in wheels/all season tires, wood trim wheel and shifter knob, trunk mats, floor mats, splash guards, wheels locks and deck lid spoiler. $46,600 total + tax/tags/reg. Will be picking it up on Tuesday. Also, got financing through Honda Finance for 4.79% for up to 60 months. How can you beat that (except maybe paying cash but for 4.79% that option went out the window).
 
I drove the M35x and I really liked it as well. They are both great cars. But with the same option packages it was more like $53K. Infiniti not really willing to move to much on the price. I would have liked the back-up camera and the cooled seats but maybe Acura will get them in a few years.
 
All in all the RL is a great car and with the deals they are giving on '05 models you can't beat their value.

A $2500 dealer incentive is current now. Other forums are reporting sales of $39.8 and $40.3.

I think those reports are coming from CA and mostly SoCal, so a long way from PA. Wouldn't be surprised to see some low prices in the sunbelt states where the awd aspect is less important. KU69

That dealer incentive is only for leases. And the RL's are selling for more in states that will have harsh winters, such as PA.

Kupe I will be getting a RL by December. I haven't seen an RL w/ the 18" wheels. How does it look??? Did you see it on a car before you purchased it? How is the ride changed by them, comfort, handling road noise and mpg? Or anyone else that got the 18" wheels.
 
Also, on a lease if I am getting the car nov/dec, would an 06 be a better lease price due to higher residual? Or the deals are just too good on the 05's.
 
Any changes in the 06?

I got an email last week from Downey Acura, offering $39899, with wheel locks and mudguards. The offer was good for just a few days. I wasn't previously considering the RL, but I'm starting to consider it.
I also stopped by Cerritos Acura this week, and the salesman there was talking $44K.

I personally feel the 18in wheels add a lot to the RL's classy look. There was a test car with the 18in wheels at the dealer and it looked a lot nicer next to one with the 17in wheels. I felt like it handled better with the larger wheels too (drove the 17in and 18in back to back). The road noise is about the same (with the all season tires). As for mpg, I am not sure as I won't have my car until next week. As for which is a better deal, I am not sure as I have never leased a car, but I would think the much lower price on the '05 would be the way too go (but someone who is an expert on leasing would be able to tell you better). Good luck in your search, you will be very happy with the RL.

Thanks, that was very helpful. Did your dealer give you a credit for the 17"wheels?

I was able to purchase a 2005 Acura RL Redondo Red Pearl with following options for $46,795:
VIN (last five digits) >15000, not a demo (<20 miles on odometer) most recent Service Bulletins (05-022, 05-027 and 05-028) and all previous Service Bulletins applied Wood steering wheel (the one that is supposed to go with the parchment interior) Splash guards All season floor mats Wood shifter knob 18" OEM wheels Pirelli Pzero Nero M+S tires (I drop shipped them from TireRack so add about $840), mounted and balanced Engine block heater Backup sensors Full tank 93 octane fuel Cost of installation of all accessories included The dealer did not give credit for the OEM 17" rims/Michelin tires, but judging by eBay prices paid, I should get a total of $1200 for the rims and whatever TireRack sells the tires for, with maybe a 20% discount for the buyer). That might net me about $1800 The only additional charges were the Maryland $100 fee and $19 for temp tags, and state tax. I gave the salesperson a copy of the three Service Bulletins issued by Acura on 9/13 so that they are applied before delivery. All in all, it was a pleasant buying experience, done mostly through email. I'm looking forward to driving this car! If you want contact information, please email me at ishan at sbinet dot com. HTH.

No, the dealer did not credit me for the 17in rims/tires.
