Hi umalum1990,
 
Where did you end up purchasing your car? I'm looking for a TL with/Tech and live in Broward County. I went to Esserman --long story and they told me they would take care of me because they knew someone I worked with and they were an absolute joke. Like you said, the price was higher than the other dealers and they were supposed to give me a break! When I shared a written quote with them from another dealer at an approx. $70.00 lower price per month ---they said well we give great customer care--. I told them before going in I didnt want to waste my time and that's in fact what I did. Technically, they should have matched the other dealer's offer and they didn't even do that. I would not have purchased from them anyway because they made me drive to Miami.
 
Let me know where you finally purchased and what you paid.
 
Thanks,
 
KIM

Good quote for 2009 TL? by heffernan

A dealer I have been leasing from for quite some time made me the following offer on a 2009 base TL:
 
$489 per month for 36 months
 
10,000 miles per year
 
$1252 due at signing (includes 1st month's payment, sales tax, aquisition fee, title & registration)
 
He says with our past history, he'd be content to only make $400 - $450 on that car.
 
Do you think he's being straight with me?

I can't do the math here at work, but it sounds like BS.

Since you didn't give the most important number, the selling price, impossible to tell you how good of a deal it is. Do you buy a house by payment or selling price? Hopefully selling price, which is the same way you should buy/lease a car.

Of course... If I rent a house, I don't worry about what the owner paid for it... even if it does have an indirect effect on the rent..
 
That isn't apples to apples, but all else being equal (i.e.: money due at signing), the most important number is the monthly payment.
 
Knowing how the dealer got to that payment might help you negotiate a better deal... but, it could still be a lousy lease payment.

I'm inclined to agree with you. Actually, I AM just renting the car, not buying it. If I intended to buy it after the lease was up, I'm sure the selling price would come into play there. But I'm not. I'll admit, I don't know all the in's and out's, math formulas and all that stuff. I get involved with this once every 3 years and if I can negotiate a monthly payment that I'm happy with, what else matters?
 
In the end, I was able to lease the TL (no tech pkg) for $469/mo, no money down. The dealer also paid the last two payments of my 2006 TSX lease. I've been leasing from them for almost 10 years and they treat me very well. They bend over backwards to provide the best service and if someone else somewhere in the USA scored a better deal, good for them. I'm satisfied with the deal I accepted. I'll get back to you all in 2012 and we'll kick this around again.

If you know the selling price of the car you can with very little effort determine what the lease payment should be, and whether or not the dealer is jerking you around by doing things like marking up the MF.

Hi Carman,
 
Here is a quote I got today from acura in Tustin, CA.
 
Trim - 2009 Tl with Tech (+navigator) w/o AWD, black/black (in stock)
 
Retail Value 39445
Dealer discount 3222.17
sale price 36222.83
Sales Tax 3174.31
Tire Fee 8.75
Estimate Registeration fee 505.00
Total sales price 39965.89
 
$3000 drive off Include first month payment ..etc.
$525 incl tax.
 
I'm a first time buyer, they said my credit report is on the edge. No load history before. My GF who help co-sign still had a mazda 3 load for 1 and half year. So I guess my credit is not preferred by the bank.
 
Under this circumstance, do you guys think this is a decent deal??
 
Thanks!

TL + Tech in South Florida (Broward) by neilkod
May 30, 2009 (6:52 pm)
Reply
On a 2009 TL-Tech 12k miles 3 years
 
MSRP 39,445
Residual 57% $22,483
Lease Rate: .00220
Tax: 6%
Selling Cost - 35,000
nothing down, dealer wants $521/month.
 
I thought the selling cost was ok, especially compared to TMV, but am finding the dealers' claims a little sketchy-
they said the car's invoice was 36,627, but edmunds.com says the invoice is about $35.5.
 
It's both my first time leasing and my first Acura, so I'd love some help from the hive please.

Hi sosodef1. Thanks for taking the time to share the details of your lease with everyone. Sorry to hear about the bad experience that you had at that one dealership. If you want, you can tell an even wider audience about it by visiting the Dealer Ratings & Reviews section of Edmunds.com.
 
At least you got a great deal on the car that you wanted in the end. Enjoy your new ride !
