A dealer in a neighboring state about 200 miles away offered it for $34,150 plus $70 in fees. That includes all except TTL. No extras included with car.
I see that people here are getting 33.0k to 33.5k deals for the same, including some extras for the car (moldings, etc.).
Was planning to see if either of the 2 local dealers will give me $33.0k, or close to it, plus moldings, mud guards, wheel locks, trunk extras.
Also planning to accept their 2.9% APR for 36 month financing from whichever dealer I purchase from.
But should I wait till July 8th when the current incentives end, to see if the new incentives are better?
Could they possibly be any worse? Seems unlikely to me, as we get closer to the '10s coming out, but would appreciate opinions/info.
I suppose you could wait. But, I remember last year when Acura pulled incentives on the TSX right before the new TSX hit.
It's always a gamble. I've never seen better incentives on the TL. Could they get better? Anything's possible.
Depends on whether you want to risk not getting the color you want as stock dwindles. Also, is it worth the $100 in gas to run around to different dealers who may, or may not beat the already good price you've got?
That's up to you!
Before settling on my 34k (+ttl) deal I had 2 other offers. One was for 34,109 (+ttl). The other was for 33,600 (+ttl) but was limited to the stock on hand - just 3 colors all of which we hated. So I am not sure if 33k is feasible unless you are lucky.
Just as an aside I was also negotiating with a BMW dealer and finally brought him down to 43.5k for a 528xi! Of course it helped that it was the last car on the lot. Didn't go through with it though since it was silver.

I just pulled my TL brochure to look at your color combination. That is one beautiful color (Basque Red Pearl) and pefect interior (Ebony/Black). That black interior really pops with the red, plus you'll love the black carpet/seats not showing any dirt/stains. Congrats on your deal!! $37,880 is way below what most folks are paying. Finance guy at Goodson Acura (#1 volume dealer in TX) said the TL SH-AWD w TECH is averaging slightly over $39K sales price for the year. Have fun and be careful not to get any speeding tickets!!
Joe
By the way...excluding tax, tag, and license, were there any fees on top of the $37,880? Is so, how much? Sounds like you got the best deal possible...congrats again!
Interesting about the refundable warranty...my dealer never mentioned that otherwise I would have gotten it too.
I did all of the preparatory reading, and mooning over the info and pix, yet nothing compares to taking that key and getting into YOUR car!! I get excited just knowing I'm going to drive it...anywhere...!
The pearl colors are all nice, the only 'semi straight' color is the black, tho' I think it may be a pearl also. We love our white one.
Another thing I love is the transmission. It 'acts like' a manual in many situations, downshifting at times as I would if it were a stick, and staying in a lower gear as I would want at times also.
Lots of luck!
Good luck
Now I'm trying to figure out what that all means as far as demand and potential deals. I'm guessing the Boulder dealer has picked up the TL inventory from the small dealers in the mountain states area in hopes of selling more this summer in a more affluent market. I think the third dealer is either doing a good job on sales or is playing it safe in a down economic market. I did note that the SHAWD models did make up 25 to 40% of inventory at all 3 dealers. I also noted a preponderance of Brown colored TLs in those inventories. I though Blue was the non-seller. Hmmmm!
Seems like I see a lot of Acura and TL advertising here, but nothing about deals, discounts, rebates, year-end specials. Maybe the latest unemployment figures will get these dealers and Acura to shake loose a bit rather than eat their '09 inventory.
I was also in the market looking at the Acura TL+tech. Did you consider reaching out to Steven's Creek Acura or AutoWest Acura of Stevens Creek(if you request your quotes via edmunds, it will reach the people i was negoiating with)? I think you can get the car for 33 to low 33K. I decided against the FWD as i was not comfortable with the seat so looked at the AWD which has better cushioning/seating and loved it. Different story on why i had to pull the plug on the Acura.
thanks
MSRP: $51,845
INVOICE: $47,705
SALES PRICE: $46,500
That's 10.3% off MSRP and $1,205 behind invoice.
Not a lease, outright purchase price includes everything but TT&L, can also use 1.9% simple interest financing.
Car is on the water (in transit from Germany) as we speak. Throwing in floor mats, and it drives out with a complete detail (3 coats of wax) and full tank of gas. What do you think? DEAL OR NO DEAL?

I-Drive is nowhere near as sophisticated as the TLs nav, nor is the stereo.
But, that's not what those cars are all about. I'll be the first to admit that the ride/handling compromise on a BMW 3 is the best in the biz, bar none. Plus, the 335i is fast....matching many muscle cars.
It is smaller on the inside. A little stark, too.
The big difference of course is an $8K-$9K price differential over a TL SH-AWD. Yeah, you give up a little speed with the TL, but you gain SH-AWD in the process. In truth, the TL SH-AWD is pretty darn close to the BMW ride/handling.
Although I liked my BMWs, I always felt they were overpriced for what I got.
Not a bad choice, though. ~$48K for a relatively compact sedan with funky I-Drive....I don't know. That's almost exactly $10K more than I paid for my last one, built on the same platform, with the exact same options, only difference being the twin turbo motor. Up to you whether it's worth it.
The better deal would be one without i-drive. I think the comfort access (which nets the same push button start without inserting a fob) was somewhere in the $400 range on the BMW (going by memory). That kind of struck me, too.
If the name cachet means something to you, you can get a new MB C350 Sport series for much less right now.
But, if you're liking the BMW, that's a good price for one equipped like that.
They are ripping you off. Horrible price, no question.
I got an offer a few days ago for an '09 TL with Tech for $33,100 incl destination. Not included - TTL. Also not included - a $55 doc fee. I live in a neighboring state, so will also have to pay $15 for a one way drive ticket, as vehicle will not be registered till I drive it to my state.
That's it.
Another dealer offered about $33,500, another $34,095 - both of those price not including same items as above quote.
The car they're offering you will be 2 years old in another month or 3 when the '10 TL comes out.
For 7% more than you offered for the '08 which I assume is without tech since you didn't mention it, you can bargain for an '09 with tech - although the OTD will be more than that of course.
I was sure that was the last day listed for the 2.9% financing.
Went to Acura's website tonight, and see that I went braindead - the last day was 7/6. 7/7 is the date for whatever new incentives, if any, will be offered. Was planning to finance with the 36 month 2.9%.
Does anyone know what the new incentives, if any, are for the TL beginning 7/7?
Financing incentives - 2.9% continuing, I hope?
Dealer incentives - I believe they had $1,000 during the last 4 months. Continuing? More or less or none?
Anyone know?
Everything seems to be gone as of now - no special financing, no dealer incentives.
Looks like I really blew it on this one.
Wouldn't they go back to special financing and dealer incentives shortly, with the '10s coming out soon?

Of course, nothing is posted regarding the dealer incentive. Anyone know what the current dealer incentive is or do I have to pay CR for a report to find out?

All that sales talk is BS. Make the offer you want to make, and if they don't like it, walk away. Believe me, I get just as excited as you must be about getting the new car, and the TL is one to be excited about. I still get giddy when it's time to go somewhere.
They are short on inventory?? who cares about their problems? you want a deal!
and...the 2010's are going to be coming in soon.
Good luck kid, I'm pulling for ya!
I live in Northern NJ, and seriously considering Acura TL Base Model. I got few quotes from various web-based car buying sites, but like to hear from the actual owners that what will be the decent price for the car? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Just got a quote from the local dealer- $32,230 (inc. destination + all season mats & trunk tray) for 2009 TL base. Do you think this is a good price or should I wait few more months before 2010 models roll out so that the price may further go down?
Thanks in advance
