    That sounds like a decent deal. Question - what should I expect to save with 2005 demo? Can one be had for under 29K?

    Mine is Royal Blue Perl/Parchment :shades: . Acura of Serramonte is still insisting on $33,220, oops. :P

    I bought a 2005 TL AT no nav w/ 36 miles for $31871.70 OOD including protection package. Should have tried for lower price since nearing end of month and year and paid cash in full but oh well. Still happy with transaction. Happy shopping and Happy New Year!!

    I've found this forum very helpful during the past couple of days so I thought I'd contribute. Just got an 06 TL Automatic without navigation for 32,950 OTD. Power Acura in Torrance, CA treated me well. internet sales was very pleasant. Only add-on was a Trunk Tray. Happy New Year to everyone. Thanks for the good reading.

    Two weeks ago I bought a 2006 with Navi for $32819 including destination. This was after contacting and negotiating with several dealers in the area. Ended up getting it in Queens. Got Nighthawk Black with Ebony interior which was my first choice, but was on the lot. The professionalism of this dealer blew away a dealer in Westchester where I almost made my purchase.

    brian,am looking to buy within a couple of days in metro area,what town in the suburbs do you get non professional treatment??
  • juwllsjuwlls Member Posts: 5
    i've just signed up for a 2006 TL w/out Navigation. white with parchment.

    30500+298 doc fee+taxes, tags and registration.

    i used Open Road Acura in Wayne. couldn't have done the deal any faster.

    they are anxious to move cars. if you are in NY or NJ, it may be an option. i think the deals end either tomorrow or on the 3rd of January.

    thanks for the input everyone provided. i couldn't have negotiated the great deal without the power of knowledge and information.

    Curry Acura is advertising 2006 TL for 29,900 on the radio. I have to assume it's non nav, but don't know if it's auto or 6 MT.

    I bought a white/parchment 06 TL with Nav, an Ipod adapter, wheel locks, truck tray and rear seat wood trim for $32,850 in Tustin, Calif today. I found this forum a great tool in negotiating. Thanks everyone.
  • ftamftam Member Posts: 9
    Was it Paragon? I think they are the only Queens dealer. Thanks for your help.
  • brian32brian32 Member Posts: 7
    I bought at Paragon in Woodside and didn't buy in Scarsdale. I hope this information helps you get a good deal. Let me know if I can help with anything else.

    Hi Group,

    I am looking to buy a 05/06 TL w/ Navi in Jan. Does anyone has any pricing and buying experience in the
    Philly area + suburbs? Any dealership that I should
    stay away because of pre / post sales issues?

    Many thanks & Happy New Year

    Patrick
  • juwllsjuwlls Member Posts: 5
    Was the 29,900 including destination charges of 615?

    the 30,500 inlcuded destination charges, which was an actual purchase price 29,885
  • starman98starman98 Member Posts: 119
    You are not going to get as good of a deal in Jan. as in Dec. Its the end year so dealers want to meet a quota before 2006.
  • famatta127famatta127 Member Posts: 1

    Just bought a non-navi for $31,800 that included protection package, splash guards, and body side molding. Wasn't the absolute lowest price I've seen but they gave me a great deal for my trade, had the Anthracite/Quartz I wanted still in it's wrappers and got me 5.95% 72 month financing.

    Don't have many Acura dealers too close to me, so this deal worked out OK. Bottom line - this site helped me determine what a good range of pricing would be. I wasn't gonna walk for a few hundred dollars.

    Gotta go out in the garage and stare at my new toy. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Gonna be a prosperous one at that.

    joep3,
    Great deal on your new TL, Congratulations! The price is before TTL, right?

    leadfoot6,
    Your deal is great and your A.P.R. is outstanding! Don't worry too much about the price. The car is worth in the 40K. There are added extras in owning an Acura (if this is your first) vice non-lux cars that will make up your could have/should have thoughts.
    LOL. Im doing the same thing. Now back to starring at my TL :P

    My wife and I just picked up a 2006 Black/Black with navi and Protection Package from Piazza in Reading, PA for 32,600. I don't know if they will give you that kind of deal in Jan though, you will also lose out on the good financing. You may want to check Montgomeryville Acura, they seem to have pretty competitive prices.

    Good luck
  • psiupsiu Member Posts: 7
    Thanks. It is unfortunate that I am moving to Philly to start a new job in the middle of Jan. Trying not to buy it in Chicago before the move. :(
    I will keep the group posted on the OTD price.

    BTW, what's your opinion on the service (pre and post) from either Piazza or Montgomeryville?

    06 TL w/Navi, Ipod adapter, wheel locks, trunk tray, and a rear A/C vent wood trim piece was $32,850 before TT&L. I bought it at Tustin Acura in Tustin, CA.
  • jake3491jake3491 Member Posts: 5
    negotiated on 12/28, signed and paid on 12/31. will pick up the car (anthracite/ebony with body side molding) on Wednesday.
  • tumptump Member Posts: 3
    This board helped me a lot in negotiating the price.

    $32172.66 Car with destination
    $299.00 Processing Fee
    $974.15 VA State Tax (3%)
    $54.69 Business Tax (.17%)
    $49.50 Title and License

    Comments would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks
  • goodegggoodegg Member Posts: 905
    My $31800 did include a few hundred dollars of accessories. It could have been lower, but they valued my trade in the 'excellent condition' bracket, which it wasn't. So instead of lowering the price to say $31000 they increased my trade by $800. Saved a little in sales tax.

    We don't have 5 Acura dealers within a small radius around here. You gotta kinda take what you get, especially selection-wise. I'm keeping the car 5-6 years anyway, so a few hundred ain't no big deal.

    Again - this borad is a great negotiating tool.
  • goodegggoodegg Member Posts: 905
    Awesome deal. Shows to go ya what can happen when there are multiple dealers around to shop each other against. You are apparently a great negotiator.

    Did you have a trade?
  • tumptump Member Posts: 3
    No trade. It was just nice knowing what people had previously paid in the area. All thanks to this board.
  • ontopontop Member Posts: 279
    Your deal of $31800 is similar to my findings. If you have a trade-in there definitely isn't as much leverage in getting the best possible price since the car price and their offer for your trade are both negotiating points.

    I couldn't get a good number for my trade (damn American vehicle) so I'll have to wait another year or so til the numbers work out.

    I'm jealous. Happy New Year !
  • laurasdadalaurasdada Member Posts: 5,188
    Same here. I got a great deal on my '05 TL a year ago, but really screwed myself by trading in my "damn American vehicle." Which I really liked, but the new car itch just had to be scratched...

    I'm happy! And Happy New Year!

    Go Pats, three-peat!!!

    '21 Dark Blue/Black Audi A7 PHEV (mine); '22 White/Beige BMW X3 (hers); '20 Estoril Blue/Oyster BMW M240xi 'Vert (Ours, read: hers in 'vert weather; mine during Nor'easters...)

  • ftamftam Member Posts: 9
    Just bought '06 TL No Navi for $31,250 plus TTL. Anyone shopping tomorrow should know that they can probably get it for a few hundred less. I paid the extra because dealer is more convenient than the others. Picking up the new wheels in a few days. Info on this forum was very helpful. Thanks to all and Happy New Year!
  • ftamftam Member Posts: 9
    Brian 32,

    Your feedback was very helpful. Ironically, I had a more frustrating experience with Paragon. They were very polite but no one would commit to a serious quote on the phone. Given that I was focused on spending as little time actually at dealerships this was a turn-off. Bottom line is that I probably coulh have gotten a better price at Paragon but it wasn't worth the grief.

    Looking forward to cruising in my TL. Thanks again for your help. Happy New Year!.
  • uhuh1uhuh1 Member Posts: 18
    The dealer suggested $22,995 if I pay for it at a time in cash. And she insists it is a 'Certified Acura' car. Is it a reasonable price if I pay for it at a time in cash?

    But I wonder whether it is truely a 'Certified Acura' car. How can I check it? Does car have some document proving it is a 'Certified Acura'? Or can I check it with its Vin#?

    The salesperson working for Subaru has the car because previous owner traded in. Is it possible that the car is a 'Certified Acura' car even though it is located in the Subaru dealershop? I wonder they did the right job for posting 'Certified Acura' on the car at Subaru's shop.I don't know exactly what is 'Acura Certified'. What is it?

    Thank you for your replies in advance.
  • rroyce10rroyce10 Member Posts: 9,332
    ..... If it's clean, the history and the service is 110% and the CPO is in play ... then the dealer probably dropped the tall $18's low low $19's in it ...

    Nice vehicles .. but $22,900 might be a little stiff, even with the tiny miles and the "S" stuff .... properly done, you could probably get it in your driveway for $21ish and some change ......

    Good luck and let us know ..........



    Terry.

    PS: you pull the Vin# at the Acura service department it will show the CPO.
  • uhuh1uhuh1 Member Posts: 18
    Thank you for your interest. So what you suggest is that I bought it with about $21,000. Is it right?

    Thank you, Terry. I'll let you know if I buy it. Can you help me find where I input the Vin#? I couldn't find the Acura service department on the web.

    Thank you.

    this site was very helpful to me, so i thought i would post my deal--acura TL w/o Nav--$30,600 including wheel locks. I bought it w/ the 4.9% financing from westchester, pa. I did this at the end of december.
  • minivandanminivandan Member Posts: 19
    Sounds like a great deal. I'm in Cleveland and couldn't find a local dealer who would do an 06 non-nav for under 31.5. So I bought a new 05 non-nav w/150 miles for 29.700. Love it so far, but still feel the deal could have been better. No trade in.
  • tenukitenuki Member Posts: 6
    From Performance acura in raleigh, nc at the start of Jan --

    2006 TL w/ nav, protection package = $32,800. Total out the door was $34250.
  • juwllsjuwlls Member Posts: 5
    30,600 is $400 below invoice ...thats an excellent deal.

    i went back to the dealership with a friend yesterday and he bought one at 30,500, got a set of mud guards thrown in too. traded in his Accord because this TL deal is too sweet to pass up. i can't remember the car ever selling under invoice and with the 2.9% financing deal for 36 months its the icing on the cake.
  • ddlllldddlllld Member Posts: 10
    Got a quote for $200 under the invoice for TL w/nav from the manager at sussman acura. Not sure if there is any hidden fee. Anyways, have to pass the car, cause my wife still hates Japan cars.

    Jealous to you guys.
  • connmanconnman Member Posts: 1
    I've been trying to find posts in the NY tri-state area for the past couple of weeks. (Is anybody buying TL's notin CA?) anyway the forum is a big help, just picked up an 06 TL W/navi $32,800.00 $34,650. OTD Wish I got more on my trade-in. Bought it on 12/29 I couldn't believe how busy the dealership was. But hey I'm happy. Thanks to all for the input.
  • ckigginsckiggins Member Posts: 68
    Since you brought up Certified Pre-Owned, do you know if a dealer will give you more for your trade if they can sell it as CPO?

    I have a 2002 RSX which I hope to trade in later this year for a TL. I have had all of my maintenance performed at the dealer I purchased from, it has low miles (nearing 29k for a 2002!) and is flawless in & out with the exception of a pretty deep scratch on the rear bumper cover (plastic).

    I'm wondering if my car would qualify as CPO due to the bumper cover and the fact that, though my maintenance has been performed at the dealer, I have not done the 20k scheduled because they want $400+ to rotate the tires and change some filters.

    Thoughts?
  • twolivertwoliver Member Posts: 1
    I also wanted to thank those on this board for helping my in my search. Just landed an '06 TL, silver/ebony w/ navi and love it, everything I hoped for and more.

    $32997 w/ destination
    $175 doc fee
    $989.91 NC state tax (3%)
    $69 tag
    OTD: $34,230

    Purchased as Apple Tree Acura in Fletcher, NC outside of Asheville, NC. Had a great experience at the dealership when I picked up the car, very professional, straight shooters, very highly recommend them to anyone in the market.

    Thanks again to all.

    Tell your wife the car is assembled in Marysville OH and with more American part content then most so called "domestic" vehicles.
  • waynemawaynema Member Posts: 2
    Purchase date: 02/01/06
    2006 TL, automatic w/ navigation, anthracite metallic/ ebony leather
    $31990 + TTL
    Acura of Glendale, CA
    internet sale
  • tcw3tcw3 Member Posts: 8
    Wow...I couldn't get anyone to deal in the Raleigh/Fayetteville area. Best quote I got was 34,900 OTD. I found Performance to be shady and dishonest. Twice they said they had the car I wanted only to find out they did not. I had a buying service contact them and they told the buying service I would have to order the car but they told me it was "ready for me to come down and take ownership". Needless to say, they will not get my business.
  • suave_tequilasuave_tequila Member Posts: 116
    Very good deal! Can you tell me in more deatail your monthly payments and such! It will be very helpful since my sis *may* buy one exactly like that (but ext. is black) this weekend! THANKS

    I wonder if Valencia Acura would get me the same deal or better? Since I live here in Valencia! :)
  • brian32brian32 Member Posts: 7
    Congratulations on getting your TL. Don't worry about the price now- just enjoy it.

    I am glad I was able to help you. Sorry about your experience at Paragon. That is the frustrating part about the internet sales process. I understand their reluctance to give prices over the phone, but they may lose customers because of this.
  • waynemawaynema Member Posts: 2
    Paid in full. Total OTD was 35142.66. I added in mudguards and wheel locks for $170.
    Only Santa Monica and Glendale can offer me such deal. I recommend visiting both places.
  • psiupsiu Member Posts: 7
    Which dealership did you pick up your TL w/navi for $32800?
    It is such a good deal.
  • ddlllldddlllld Member Posts: 10
    I got my quote over phone from the manager. It is before the New Year and the loan APR could be 2.9% for 36 mon then. I am not sure if they still have that price now.
  • slugdriverslugdriver Member Posts: 16
    Tump,

    Congrats - sounds like a good deal. Good luck with the care. Where did you get it? Radley? Pohanka? Would like to know. Thanks.
