Thanks for the input.
Now, if I can go pass the front grille and the super-sized body....
Included splash guards and all weather matts.
$35,091.00 with rebate applied.
Continental Acura - Naperville, Illinois.
With the 1.9% finance rate and the tax break (which will be worth about $675)seemed like a great time to buy.
Happy New Year!
I don't see many new gen TLs around. But, I did see one yesterday....crystal black with umber interior. It was a Tech, no AWD, but did have the 18" wheel/tire upgrade. Very sharp.
I get my '08 Accord serviced at my local Acura dealer since I've bought a previous gen TL from them before. They let me drive one of their TL loaners every time.
I've driven both the AWD and the regular FWD TLs. They're both about the same as far as acceleration is concerned. I think Acura really tamed the torque steer in the FWD version of this gen. Really like the combination of refined ride and handling of the FWD version, to the point where I don't beliee AWD would be on my radar, especially at added cost.
If I could find another crystal black with umber TL tech, who knows, I might be quite tempted (which is what I'm sure my local Acura dealer is hoping for by letting me use their loaners).
Dealer also gives us 9 coupons, each for $40 off service, which basically pays for oil changes for the first 45,000 miles.
This dealer, St Louis Acura, gives you an Acura loaner while your car is serviced and hand-washes and vacuums car on every service trip!
Great people!
We don't have the $1000 dealer rebate in our zone?
The sales tax thing is a non-event for us in Missouri, since the deduction is less savings than the personal property tax.
If I take delivery in 2009, I have to pay PP tax of about $850 for 2010.
I'm waiting until tomorrow to pick it up, so I won't have to pay PP tax until 2011.
- My wife and I have 2 cars and both leases are up in the next 2 months. I don't want to lease anymore, so we're getting an old car (98 Sentra) that will get us around the neighborhood and another used car that will be more reliable (possibly an Acura).
- I'm currently looking at a 2000 Acura TL with 120k miles for $4200 being sold by a private seller. I haven't checked the car out yet, but I have had conversations with the owner and I have good reason to believe the car was well taken care of. I asked the owner about the transmission due to the issues I've heard about. She says she's had the car for 6 years and has not had any problems (any way I can verify that?). She also had a routine transmisison flush done at the end of 2007.
I have never owned an Acura, but I'm pretty loyal to Honda and my sister is a loyal Acura owner. My gut tells me that the car will be reliable and that I'll be able to get a few years out of it. I've been told not to buy an older European car as repairs will be costly.
What are your thoughts on this? Do you think it's a good deal? Assuming my mechanic says it's in good shape, do you think I'll be able to get it close to 200k miles?
Thanks! Any thoughts are appreciated.

I would check the service history and ensure that the maintenance was kept up. For example timing belt changed, transmission serviced regularly with Honda / Acura ATF, oil changed regularly, antifreeze changed with Honda / Acura antifreeze just to name a few. If you didn't already know Hondas are very sensitive toward their fluids for the AT, power steering, and antifreeze. Just my thoughts...Good luck!!!
By the way, you might try asking this questions in the real world forum here:

Good luck!!!
Not sure how much leeway the dealer has on that.
Maybe if you go in today, ready to buy, they can find a way.
If not probably best to wait for the next round of incentives.

2000$ dealer cash- For TL TECH model only. It could be regional too (I checked for NE region). Seems good deal to me...Now if I can find mayan bronze color in this region then I'm all up for buying this machine :shades:
p.s: dealer cash & APR "can" be combined
It does not matter if its AWD or FWD, as long as the Tech package is included.

The paint protection comes with a 1 year warranty that can be extended for up to 5 years. The protection package included's color matching splash guards, wheel locks, and the trunk tray.

Dealer is making $2518.14 on your deal. The holdback is their money and in most cases they will not give you any of this but you are adding another $500 of pure profit to this deal with the packages. If this was my deal my first offer would be $36,100.00 out the door including tax, lic and doc fee without any packages. If you just must have the worthless packages than my offer would be $36,300.00 out the door with the packages included. The most I would pay for this car is $36,400 out the door without the packages.
I always feel you are better off taking everything out of the deal except the purchase of the car and buy everything else after the deal is made on the car. It's funny how much an Acura dealer will try to sell you when you sign the papers.
Here's what I got:
1.9% for 60 months
2010 TL w/ Tech
color-matched splash guards, trunk tray, door edge guards, cargo net, all-season mats and wheel locks.
I may have been able to get it a bit lower, but I was worn out from negotiating!
Anyway, I'm happy with the deal!
I added the paint /interior protection package my dealer offers for $299 (they wanted $499)
It includes a 5 year deal where they will re-apply sealant and interior application once a year.
That's $60 per application, and obviously they vacuum and wash the car each time.
When you roll that into the financing deal, it's not a bad deal.
Not exactly a detail job, but who else would do all that for $60 on a cold day in January, which is when I plan on having it done every year.
Thanks
Even BMW is pretty loaded up with new '09s still on the lot, as is Mercedes.
I just think it's the general state of the industry right now. One thing's for certain, you can get some pretty hefty discounts on all of the brands I mentioned, right now. They're all slow.
