Love the TL!
Troy
Thnx.
I went to edmunds to price out a 2006 TL with navagation system and requested the 2 dealers near me to contact me. Open Road Acura of East Brunswick was the only dealer that contacted me via the internet with a price of $34,710. They keep on calling me & e-mailing me to come in & take a test drive. But I know when I contact them their price of $34,710 does even include destination charges.
So my question to you is did you first contact them via the internet or did you just walk in?
Also let me confirm the price you got was for a 2006 TL with navagation.
Please let me know Thanks
Santa Monica Acura is only 3 miles from where I work and would be the most convenient for servicing during the work day. Though I realize the car can be serviced at any Acura dealer. Any help would be appreciated, especially about the buying experiences. Thanks
I tried emailing Santa Monica Acura, Glendale Acura and Keyes Acura. Got response from all but Glendale declined to sell since their inventory was small. I took the quote from Santa Monica and got a deal from Keyes. I ended up with $31,800 + $45 doc fee for a White/Parchment Non Navi. Navigation doesn't work in Hawaii. State tax in Hawaii is 4.166% so I'll save some money there.
I thank all of you that posted vital information concerning good deals.
In Hawaii TL's start at MSRP + $2800 Additional dealer markup.
Hope to get the car in about 2 weeks.
Champion: "will try to get close to $1000 ove invoice" as I requested
Gillman: MSRP (whaddaheck?!) :mad:
Eagle: "a few weeks before your color arrives" but no price :confuse:
McCall: awaiting a reply
Orr (Shreveport): offered 1000 off MSRP but seemed interested in 1000 over invoice and "making it happen"
Let us know how you make out.
I'm thinking about leasing.
Not that hard, be pleasant, they are good folks, easy to work with. Good Luck!
Good luck, good shopping.
I live in Utah where there are only 2 Acura dealers and they wouldn't even go further than 500 below MSRP (Yea right). So I searched Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, and Oregon. I searched Oregon because I saw a few postings earlier in the site. Anyway, this was a long process but I think I found my diamond in the rough. This is the breakdown of best quote yet:
2006 TL with Navi Anthracite/Ebony
Price: 33,500
Tax: 2093.75 (Utah is 6.25%)
License Fee: 188.50
Pro Pack: 322.00
Total: 36,104.25 Out the Door
A few thousand below anything here so I will fly out to Portland in 3 weeks to pick it up and let you all know how it went, I will get a purchase order faxed to me tomorrow. I hope this thing is real! Can anyone let me know if there is something better out there in No Cal or something?
And finally, I checked out that broker the message board had on it and they are pretty good, they found me the car for 34,300 and that included the fees for them. I would have had to go to Denver, so that may be worth a shot. Good luck!
I was wondering what dealer was offering the price of 34,300 for the 06 with navi? I'm in the process of shopping around in Denver and haven't asked for any quotes yet. It would be nice to know the name of the dealership as I am looking to pay around 34k also. Thanks.
I was surprised myself to the low figures.
The guy didn't give me the dealer but here is the broker's website: http://www.centennialleasing.com/ , call them and tell them you want 35K out the door (including TTL) and they will do the searching for you. then tell them a friend of yours just got a quote for 34,300 including their fees. I hope that helps, I should have asked the dealer but I doubt they would have told me until I purchased. Good luck!!
PS I'm from Highlands Ranch myself but now living in Utah. I miss CO!
Thanks so much, I'll definitely look into it. Please keep us updated on your purchasing experience.
I'd say that's an excellent price. I have done much homework in the SoCal area and have only found $34,500 for an '06 w/navi. If you end up closing the deal, would you mind posting the dealership name? The only thing that is holding me back is that my house is in escrow, but should officially be sold by next week.
thanks!
Thanks,
Steve

2006, TL, Blk/Blk/Auto/Nav with wheel locks and factory carpeted floor mats all fees included for $34,000. We will see who wants my money !
I been to a few dealers and the best price i got for a 2006 blk on blk, 6 speed with navi, full body kit & spoiler...with tax and what every bullcrap charges comes to about $38,000. is that resonable? I been to other places which its going for about another $2000 or so. I dont want to get raped, so any advice or tips, would be appreciated ASAP...thanks!!!!
confirm with repost, please.
any hints on how you got this good deal??
Call ACURA and see if they have that rate.
I was wondering what dealership you went to. As I am also interested in purchasing a '06 TL w/ nav, and would love to save hours trying to negotiate b/w different dealerships. Thanks!
2006 TL with NAV including delivery charges
$33,500 if I want to wait a few weeks
$34,000 (with matts) if I want one on the floor
both are good offers
Some dealers would not play, others didn't discount much and said that they dont have to try and sell these cars as they are in high demand. My point is this....
I've got the money... WHO WANTS IT.
Remember this... when a car is the same...exactly the same... the car becomes a commodity and the best price is what sells !
Well for some reason he was ignored, got no help for over a half hour, talked to a sales guy and the guy did not come back. So he left and went 20 miles to the next Acura dealer in the area and had a good experience and bought a new TL.
This dealer lost an easy sale all they had to do was verify that he was really looking for a car, seems like they need to go back and review sales training 101. Old Mike
If all is good, I will post my experience, price and service. I will also post the dealer and thier phone number, so far I highly recomend them. Stay tuned !
Niello is one of the dealerships I plan on contacting to make my TL purchase next month. I have a couple of questions for you, what's a trunk boot? Additionally, what kind of teflon coating are you getting--is it an undercoating?
Also, how did you work the delivery to your door? I hadn't thought about negotiating that...
Also, if I get pre-approved by Acura/Honda company (which I assume means that they will give me more or less reasonable financing rates to buy the tl), does this mean that every acura dealer has to use that exact rate? Will a dealler be getting my credit history now from Acura/honda Co. or will he be doing the my credit history check anew? If the latter, then the situation becomes the same as in the above mentioned paragraph, and then there is no point in getting pre-approved.
I'm I wrong or what?
Thank you in advance for your comments/sugestions.
Seems like you're trying to cover too many financing contingencies.
Next... tell us where you're getting 500-800 over invoice for 06 Nav :surprise:
A quote is a quote only and not enforcable under law as I understand it.
"A dealler would not tell me a precise rate when I tell him what my credit score is. They keep telling me that I have a very high credit score and that I would get the best rates"
The dealer does not set the intrest rates.. the banks or CU's do. It can be true that MOST people with a good or high credit score can GENERALY get the best rates however there may be exceptions such as how long you have established credit.
" I cannot keep doing this because the credit score goes down every time somebody checks it."
If you have good credit a few hits will NOT make any difference at all.
Some dealer may "buy" a good rate from you from a lending institution such as 2.9 or 3.9 percent when they buy that rate they pass that price they paid for that low rate to you.
