Replying to: p_pietru (Nov 30, 2006 2:18 pm) General Question to the RL Owners: Would you buy it again or make a different choice?

Replying to: palalt (Dec 05, 2006 11:55 am) Would I buy again? You bet! Lots of car for the money.  (I was also looking at the Lexus ES 350 and Infiniti M35.) My one beef with Acura--the other luxury car dealers provide free oil changes, loaners etc. Don't know if it is just the policy of my local dealaers or this is a national policy.

Drove home tonight in a black/ebony 2006 RL Tech/CMBS/PAX with splash guards for $100 above dead cost ($42,475 + TTL). Trade was acceptable and no cash changed hands; it was a skinny deal. Got the 4.9% financing for 60 months. Acura of Santa Monica is a little bit downscale as Acura dealers go but they beat my former dealer by a couple grand on the total deal. Sweet!!!

Bought new 06RL, Navi. Dealer had car for three full days before delivery to get things ready and check the car out. From the problems that appeared within the first two weeks, the Dealer may have done almost nothing to prep or check it out! Plus, after 2 requests, the Dealer failed to follow through on Acura (Honda Corporation) advertised service. Additionally, there have been problems with items purchased within the sale contract and I've requested help from Acura on clearing up the situation. There's been NO RESPONSE at all from them. There has been no "new car buyer" follow-up at all. The silence is quite odd. In the new year, I will take the car in one day at a time for each problem. It's a real drag on my time but I have to do things right. This was supposed to be a luxury car from a luxury brand?? For now, the car sits in the garage while I use my Nissan Maxima. From my brief experience, the Dealer, Chevy Chase Acura in Maryland seems somewhat inept. In view of the problems, I'm hesitant to trust them. As for loaner cars (mentioned in some messages), the Dealer verbally promised to provide one on each and every service including oil changes that can't be done quickly. Needless to say, I'm hesitant to trust them on this promise. My feeling: From my experience, don't automatically trust Acura dealers to follow through on anything and don't expect much from Honda North America (Acura) when you contact them. The manufacturer is trying for an upscale market position while delivering low scale service. They certainly don't screen their franchise holders close enough. That's only part of my experience so far on a new Acura.

MSRP in Chicagoland for 07's?. They will be sitting on those cars for awhile if all they are offering is a token discount. The RL is nice, but still had not found it niche and used 06's for 40K... no sane person would buy one.
