Can anyone plese share their buying expericene in New Jersey Area?
I am interested in buying 2007 TL base model.
What could be the best price?
Thanks
My salesman name was Calvin, tell him that Ribossi sent you. I know that you can go to www.acurasearch.com to find out more.
Hope that helps.
Thanks
Second, my wife and I live here in New Jersey and we were looking to get 2 cars, a MDX for her and a TL for me. She went to the MDX forum and found Springfield Acura and we spoke to Calvin. He told us that he would K.I.S. our deal (Keep It Simple) LOL...and that's what he did. $34,500 + Tax 7% Jersey + Doc. Fee $189 + Etch $188 + Prep $400 + MV $389 + NJ Tire Tax $7.50. And that was that.
Obviously Cal can do a lot better on a TL Base, go to www.acurasearch.com if you want more details on your car. Hope that helps.
They indicated that because of that the car is a dealer buyback, but because it was never titled it can be sold as new. The car is currently being used as a dealer car and has a little less than 4K miles on it.
Does that sound plausable to you guys? They want $30,306 plus doc fee and TTT. Is that a good deal given the situation? Any questions I should ask?
The 07 are scarce in my town and I would love to jump on this!
I will advise that you look around for other dealers different States/cities, don't constraint yourself with dealers in your area. Dont be afraid to ship the car from other states. You can get great deals on 07 TL in Southern California and Chicago/NY/NJ area. Even after paying shipping, the car will be cheaper than what you are paying right now.
Again, I would not consider buying this car car for 30,306, it has already gone through some repair. If the dealer reduces the price to 28,500 then we are talking.
I have never tried to buy a car from another locale. How does that work exactly?
Oh...they threw in a 7 yr 100K warranty. Does that make it better?
It may be something they can call new on paper, but that's far from new.
It's been through major heart surgery and is sitting in the ICU hoping for a new set of adoptive parents.
The only benefit to buying it as a "new" car would be the possible lower finance rate. Most used car rates are slightly higher, depending on your credit.
The 7/100K warranty is worth approx $1,250 but if they sold it to you as a Certified Used car, that warranty would be included anyway.
The car has miles on it and had a previous owner.
It's been through major repair.
It's not new and that price is just too high.
The key is start looking for dealer throughout the US.
Start mailing acura dealers , in state and out of state. You are a little late but there are still 2007 TLs available, you might have to compromise on colors.
Buying a car from another state is perfectly ok, I jsut bought mine. You generally have to pay the shipping but you can get great deals. I mailed around 30 dealers, from in CA, NY, NJ, IL, FL. finally purchased it from CA. I live in TX, got it shipped. 28,500 for a new TL without nav. Act fast ! Good luck.
I think its a very good deal. If the colour is to your liking then you should go ahead and pull the trigger or if you can wait for the 09s, there may be better deals to be had on 08s, but than you may want to get an 09.
Can you tell us which dealership offered you that price, that will help our fellow members to do a price match.
Thankyou and good luck
Thanks
If yes, $33999 for a 2008 TL with Navigation sounds like a great deal.
I got mine at 34500 last month and was very happy with the deal.
Also, how much more would you expect to (reasonably) pay for a Type-S? $2000?
Any inside information of any rebates coming up on Nov 1?
Thanks!
I was trying to buy 2007 TL W/Navigation (wheel locks,splash guards).I found one which has 4300 miles demo car and i like the color.They are asking for 29500 + tax + license.Is this a good deal.
I got a quote for 2008 TL W/Navigation (wheel locks,splash guards) for 33,522 + tax + license fee.Is this a good deal.
I am unsure of what to go for.I am trying to save couple of bucks.are both the good deals?

The 2008 TL W/Navigation (wheel locks,splash guards) for $33,522 + tax + license is an EXCELLENT DEAL. This is better than ANY quote I have seen or been given.
The absolute best deal I was quoted for on a 2008 TL with NAV has been $33,550 (including wheel locks, splash guards, and a free oil change).
For the remaining 2007 Acura TL Models, ideal pricing is roughly:
TL $28,500, TL NAVI $30,500, TL Type-S (includes Nav) $32,500
I'm planning to get a 08 TL with Nav in the New York Metro area, anyone can recommend a good dealer that talk to start my shopping? I got a quote from plaza acura for a 08 TL with Nav in any color I want for 33800 +TTL. Is that a good deal?
Also anyone have an idea when will the 09 TL come out? If the 09 will come out at March 08, I would probably wait for the new model come out
Thanks all
Alex
33800 + TTL for a 08 TL with Nav sounds like a great offer - too good to be true!!
Does it include all dealer/doc/prep/etc/etc fees that the dealers quitely include in the final calculations?
I doubt the 2009 will be available before August 2008. So far I have see no information what so ever about the new model. Please share with me if you have found something.
Thanks.
My wife is getting antsy again for a new car and she initially wanted the RDX, but for a few thousand less it looks like we could land a TL and save the 5-7 MPG by driving the TL. Any thoughts on what I should be paying for either? I live near Pensacola/Panama city, FL, so I'm willing to go to Tallahassee or some of Alabama if necessary.
Compromised with Color (While Pearl and Tuape interior), not many 07s out there, though its great.
Anyway, here is the story of how we bought our TL. On October 28th, we received our third recall notice on a 03 VW Passat 1.8t we used to own. Two days before that, I had a accident in the Passat and damaged the intercooler that sits behind the front bumper. Needless to say, the wife freaked out and thought our car will fall apart.
So we checked our budget and decided to get a new car. We both liked the TL, but since 07s were gone, we didn't want to spent the money on a 08. We also drove the 08 Accord V6. It was nice, roomy, comfortable, but just not as fun to drive as the TL.
So we started to contact Acura dealers in the surrounding states and found both Acura dealers in Nevada still had some 07s left. So I started to contact both dealer to get a deal going. I all but finalized the deal with Acura of Las Vegas for a good price on October 31 on a base TL. Next day, I called to put a deposit down, but was told by the sales lady that the $2500 dealer cash was no longer avail and she jacked price up by $800.00. So I went back to second dealer which was Findlay Acura, outside of Las Vegas. I ended get a dark blue TL for $29243.00, incl mudguards, door edge guard, trunk liner. Paid $199 in window etching, $399 in doc fees and $28 in title fee. totalling $29900.00. I was too tired to fight for the etching and doc fees as I am already getting a good deal. without the extra package, the car would have been around $28600.00. I do need to pay sales tax in Utah once I get the Cert of Origin.
We happened to plan a short trip to Vegas during Veterans day weekend. So we picked up veh on Saturday. Findlay Acura was great to work with. It took them longer to get the car ready than the paperwork. Low pressure from finance manager to sell warranty, lo jack, etc.
Dealer was only offering $9500 for my Passat, so I sold it to Carmax for $11,000.00.
I am so happy with the TL, been reading the owners manual page to page.
Anyway, thanks again for your help with pricing and info. You guys are awesome.
By the way, Findlay Acura still has two 07 left. Dark blue/parchment non-nav TL and one champagne/parchment, Nav.

I want to personally address the complaint sent by the above customer of Cerritos Acura. Unfortunately, the retail car business is not a perfect place. Customers have more access to information, both truthful and erroneous, than ever before. Good, accurate information is hard to come by via 3rd party sites. Dealers, still use the old bait and switch tactics in their e-mail responses to customers. While I do not personally condone this type of behavior at my stores and have put control steps in place to prevent this, it still happens.
The customer above e-mailed my dealership about a 2007 TL-S in carbon bronze. At the time of the original e-mail, we had one in stock. The consumer then took a vacation and when he returned, the vehicle had been sold. We then agreed to a very competitive deal on a 2008 in stock and the customer took delivery of the vehicle. He was happy when he left the lot, but continued to shop other dealers via the web and, of course, he found a better deal.
At the Browning Automotive Group and Cerritos Acura, we want all of our customers to leave our dealership 100% satisfied. My family would not have been in this business since 1936 if the vast majority of our customers did not leave 100% satisfied. The internet now allows consumers to do the shopping that they normally did over the phone and in person. However, dealerships still low-ball people on price and options over the web in effort to get them on the lot. My advice to all consumers shopping for cars over the internet, is to get the quoting dealership to send the VIN# for the vehicle that they are quoting. You will find that most stores will simply not respond to this e-mail, because the quote that they are sending you is typically not a vehicle they have in stock.
The truth is, Cerritos Acura is the #1 store in California for retail sales. We want our customers to be happy before, during and after the purchase process. Our best customers are our current customers.
Regards,
Matt Browning - Director
Thanks

What do you guys think? I really like the car but and I'm not in a hurry and refuse to rush into a deal. Should I go back and offer them $31,500 and no fees?
I am also in the process of collecting quotes for the 08 TL w/ Navi. BTW, I am in BayArea, CA. The quotes I have gotten so far are 34,000 + TTL. The lowest I have gotten is 33,500.Which I believe is pretty good. I haven't ask about the doc fee. But 589 is nway too high!.
If you are not in a hurry. I have read that the days around Christmas are the slowest days for car dealships.
I made my deal on an 08 TL Navi, with mats, locks and mud guards, over the phone, in about 10 minutes. I got the price I wanted and no hassle.
PG was very polite, professional and to the point.
I flew to the dealership (Eugene airport is only 10 minutes from Kendall Acura) and drove the car home, 500 miles, that afternoon.
So good was the deal, my mom's boyfriend went back the next week and got one just like it; same price.
The only downside (and a very minor one) beware the finance guy. I paid cash but he still tried to get me to buy a bunch of extras. After the first pitch, I politely explained he shouldn't attempt any others or "he" would blow the deal and I would walk. Everything was perfect after that.
