I was quoted full sticker price (verified @ Acura.com) including shipping.
I was offered for a 10 day period 13% off of that amount -- but the deal expired in 10 calendar days. Since the dealer was in a city 100 miles away, and they had no way to contact me, I ultimately ended up saying "yes" since the best price I could get otherwise was less than 8% off MSRP (again using www.carwoo.com).
I was unable to get the interior leather I wanted, but ended up with the exterior color I wanted most, so I was satisfied considering Acura's fairly inflexible interior / exterior combinations offered.
I highly recommend www.carwoo.com -- they are NOT affiliated with any dealer or mfrg (unless they are lying out the wazoo.)
Best and easiest transaction I have EVER had, period!
:surprise:
The residual value for a lease with only 10,000 miles per year would be 1% higher.
You're right about both the $1,250 and the $500...however the $1,250 is a national program that is available everywhere and the $500 is an additional incentive that is only available in California.

Thanks!
So money factor remains at .00166 and residual at 56%?

I am picking up my 2012 TL w/Tech FWD. 15k/y for 36 months. MF 0.00156, RV:57%
$800 due at signing(including all fees and 1st payment). $495/month (tax included).
I have now had my first Acura (my first non German car since 1977), a TL, since September 10th. The car is great. I really am pleased with it. It still has not WOW'd me like many of the German's I have had over these many years (29 Audis in a row for example).
However, therefore, notwithstanding: this car grows on me every time I get behind the wheel. I came, most recently, from an almost fully optioned out 2009 Audi A4 quattro 2.0T Prestige Sport (with a 6sp tiptronic transmission).
Little things about the TL impress me every time I discover one of them -- and I especially love the sound system.
What has, however, most recently started me on a journey that MAY end up at least as a near WOW is the power of the 3.7L V6 and the nearly ideal shift patterns of the 6speed automatic. The ability to double-downshift with the paddle is one of the little things that I have come to like very much, for instance.
The comfort of the seats (I have the Advance package) over long distances, too, is impressive.
I was able to set the cruise control at 85 and make a 100 mile trip in great comfort and with ease and a feeling of control that was damn near Germanic, if not fully thus.
Despite the thing being FWD biased, which I swore I would never again get, somehow Acura has managed to banish the FWD feel (mostly) from the SH-AWD drive train -- and now, at 3,000 miles, I have gained confidence to accelerate through curvers and let the torque vectoring and F-R power transition take care of things almost as if it were an Audi quattro I was driving.
I am to the point I now suggest to people I know, who are in the market for a new car, to at least "shop" Acura -- again something I probably would not have done, even on September 10th after I signed the papers.
I can't tell you what it would take to make this thing a WOW -- but at this point, it wouldn't take too much more, I'd imagine (especially for the price.)
An Audi S4 with Audi Drive Select and the Sport Differential (aka torque vectoring) would have been my preference were it $12,000 less, but the Acura TL Advance SH-AWD is a darn good knock-off (again adding "for the price.") The S4 could push you -- hard -- against your seat upon flooring it; the TL not quite so much. But overall the TL is proving itself to be sportier than I had assumed it would be.
I predict you will respect this car and possibly love it (probably in fact), your call with respect to being WOW'd though.
I'm still at about 8.5/10ths (of WOW), but moving, bit-by-bit, in that general direction. :surprise:
thanks

Thank you for your recent help with the A5...
I'm also considering both 2012 SW_AWD Tech and Advance Packages, 36 month -15k per year.
I currently own two Acura's, one MDX and one TL, both were financed through Acura (read, do they provide any additonal incentive?).
Can you provide the money factor and residuals for both vehicles above?
Thanks again!

This is my first time posting but this forum has been helpful in the past and I thought I would contribute with my experience. I recently signed on the dotted line for an Acura TL AWD with tech package. exterior: black, Interior: The beautiful Umber leather .
Zero money down except first month payment of $555 (this number is including NY State tax of 8.8% and all fees).
Lease Details: 12,000 Miles for 36 months.
Give it to me straight.... Bad deal? Good deal? Average deal?
NET SELLING PRICE- 32,700
DEALER IS GIVING ME ACCESSORY PACKAGE AND REAR DECK LID SPOILER ALSO FOR COST
USING $3,250 TRADE IN PAYOFF ON MY CAR, ZERO ADDITIONAL OUT OF POCKET
15K MILE LEASE - $336 MO
TECH IS $75 MORE, IS IT WORTH IT?
GOOD DEAL?
Personally, I don't think the tech is worth it on a lease, your basically paying for the entire cost of the nav system spread out over the life of the lease ($2,700), but if it's important to you, than it's worth it.
P.S. Try DCH in Wappinger Falls. Their staff is awesome and a bit closer by about 300 miles.
As far as its lease program goes, Acura's November buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 TL Tech AWD with 15,000 miles per year are .00114 and 53%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Super Preferred" credit tier.

When negotiating your lease on this car, don't forget about the $1,250 dealer cash that is currently available on it.

Acura is currently providing $1,250 dealer cash on this car. Make sure to take it into account during your negotiations.
