Sedans Acura TL Good time to buy a TL
21 messages, Last post on Feb 27, 2007 at 9:51 PM
You are in the Acura TL Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
All cars do cool off after a while witness the 2007 TL for years it sold close to MSRP. Now in its JR year this may be the time to buy. Honda has reported sells of the once hot sedan are down 25% from Jan 2006 and now are going GM style give you some cash. Although the cash is not so GM obvious as in large bag full of 100 on top of the hood, Acura has instead tucked then count em ten $100 bills under the hood. So before you buy ask the dealer for your $1000 dealer incentive and refuse to pay more than a 1000 over sticker. These cars carry a 3000 markup. so that 33000 car is now 31000. They would be crazy to turn it down!

For the most part, folks have been very successful in negotiating a few thousand off of MSRP- consistently. Acura wouldn't be able to sell TL's for MSRP for very long with cars like the G35 and BMW 3er offered at similar prices. "Honda has reported sells of the once hot sedan are down 25% from Jan 2006 and now are going GM style give you some cash." Again, Acura has offered incentives on the 3GTL in model year 04, 05 & 06. This is nothing new. The biggest amount of $$ that Acura offered was when the MMC 07 was introduced to move out the 06's. The TL (& MDX) has kept Acura/Honda alive. The RL is dead in the water. When the next generation TL and TSX is introduced- I'll bet they sell for MSRP for a short while as well.

I purchased a 2006 TL in January 2006..After cross shopping and deciding the amount I would spend on a new car the TL seemed to be the best for my needs,,There were many on the road and it seemed the 2004-06 sold well..I live in the NY metro area and I am a road salesman,so I constantly saw the growing amount of TL's on the road although I drive a GMC Envoy for work..I have seen only 1-2007 TL and 2-2007 TLS>> Is this model now not selling at all?? I do know the subtle differences between the 2006 and 2007 and am very active in searching out the 2007 models I see on the road..They just aren"t out there..Anyone notice this in their market |

Replying to: maxman (Feb 07, 2007 2:29 pm) There is no dealer incentives in the form of cash back to the consumer on any 2007 TL- period. I live in Florida. I bought my TL in July of 05- in the middle of the month. Got it for invoice. Whoever paid 500-700 off of MSRP for a TL in Florida is IMHO not an informed buyer. California is a totally different story. People are buying them for under invoice dipping into the holdback. Again, whoever paid 500-700 off of MSRP got taken for a ride. Take a look at the prices paid forum on Edmunds and let me know who paid MSRP or few hundred off of MSRP in the last month vs. those who got a couple thousand off.

Replying to: ggesq (Feb 07, 2007 6:32 pm)  autonews.com. This is an expensive news joiners I believe it about 5.00 and it comes out every week or every other week in this you will find way more auto news than your current sources such as Edmunds.com, caranddriver.com…you know that baby stuff as many times the news you are reading is days sometimes weeks old. This news journal has all the auto news things like component suppliers to auto manufactures, manufactures job opening, dates plant overtime and shut downs and behold a complete list of ALL manufactures latest customer incentives and dealer incentives. So before make statements things like "There is (btw should be ARE no..)(Us college kids know a little bit of grammar at least) no dealer incentives in the form of cash back to the consumer on any 2007 TL- period,” you should check all your sources not just Edmunds.com as most times I pickup on incentive information before Edmunds. Take a look at my original posting and you will see I used the wording dealer incentive Not cash back, you should know if you are as smart as you think you are that Honda DOES NO CASH BACK! It is always referred to dealer incentive. The deal on your TL you most likely had a lucky day however, both of my friends who bought the TL’s wanted Navi and the color combo that they wanted had to be ordered. What dealer do you know that is going to go through the stress to special order a car and sell it for nothing? So if you got deal like that it was most likely was a ground unit, which is possible with an eager dealer. Rule #1 I will not buy a car $200 over invoice…..check this out my last deal Edmunds.com told me there was $1000 rebate on a 2006 Nissan Altima SE-R 6MT in Feb 2006, I took my little butt to the library did more research and discovered that the rebate was actually $1750.... So that $32000 car invoiced at $28900-1750=27150 and since I am such a nice guy I let the dealer make $200 for a total of $27350...If I would have been uneducated like you and put all my trust in Edmunds.com I would have paid an extra $750 dollars..…..my god that’s a lot gas! So I bet you your whole paycheck that there is a $1000 dealer incentive on the TL and if you really don’t want to research I will PDF you the proof! You not going to win!

Replying to: maxman (Feb 08, 2007 8:49 am) Let me give you a couple of suggestions while I've got you. Your post would be a lot easier to read if it were broken into several paragraphs. And your post would be easier to read if you will lighten up on the confrontations! It's all good - we're all friends here!

Replying to: maxman (Feb 08, 2007 8:49 am) The deal I had on my 05 TL is not an anomaly. I did my research, negotiated the car I wanted and got the price I wanted. Actually, I was there when it was unloaded off the delivery truck with 15 other TL's and it had 2 miles on it. Again, I invite you to check this website along with other sites associated with Acura and find out for yourself what others are paying for the 07 TL. Almost no one is paying some silly amount like 500-700 off of MSRP. I stand by my statement- there are no (current) incentives in the form of cash back to the consumer on the 2007 TL. Additionally, I invite you to post a link to any incentive to the consumer that Acura is currently offering its customers. I'm sure it would help others in their negotiations. Most if not all manufacturers offer dealer incentives to their dealers- this isn't breaking news. For the TL it's about 3% of MSRP. Which, BTW, is the 1k your talking about. BTW, name calling, insults and commenting on one's grammar is not proper- period. I'll look over the wonderful grammar you incorporated into your post if you'll look over mine.
