2013 and earlier-Acura TL Prices Paid and Buying Experience

shan7

Hi-
2 questions...

1. Is $28995 is a good price for a used 2005 w/nav and 15K miles?

2. Are dealer internet prices (ex. Autotrader, cars.com) still negotiable, or is that usually their final price?

BTW-this vehicle is in Wisconsin

Thanks in advance.

I think it's good...not great but good. It depends on how much time you have to haggle with the salesmen... If you're pretty busy, take the deal; if you have time on your hands, I suspect you could get it down another $500 based on posts on this forum.

Did you check with any of the Dallas area dealers? There are more up here and the deals seem to be better than Houston or Austin (don't know about SA)...

Where did you buy your extended warranty from?

I got a quote for 300 under invoice for TL/w Nav.

However they are adding Pro Package for 220.

So the price is like this.
Price 32519
Pro Pack 220
Final Price 32739 (Before TTL)

Also this car has 125 miles although it's new.
So my question is: Is the price OK? And what about the 125miles? Is this adequate or is there something wrong with this car since it has high mileage on it?

buckeyebill

It depends on your location, but 32,600 before the pro package is a pretty good deal in the Mid West.

seanh2o

I am from Ohio, which is Midwest. The dealers around won't budge under the invoice. This one was an exception. However I am kind of hesistant because of the extra 125 miles on the vehicle. Should I be concerned with the extra mileage?

bartalk3

A new car with 125 miles on it was used as a demonstrator or as someone's baby at the dealership. And who knows how it was driven. Cars are delivered from the factory with 6-10 miles on the odometer. I would demand another car.

kennyg8

Also, if it is a MT (as opposed to an auto), I would stay away even though it has only 125 miles. God knows if this car was driven by someone who knows how to handle the manual shift.

I'm excited to purchase my first car - a 2006 TL (auto) with navi. I am horrible at negotiation and this is my first car purchase, which is why I am asking for bids online - I got bids back for $33,800 , $33,400 , and $33,320. Now that they have given me their quotes, how can I ask for lower bids? Havent these internet dealers seen everything? I've read that some people purchased their TL's at invoice - what did you say in your emails so they actually gave you the sale? Thanks!

seanh2o

Well thanks for the input everyone. However, I just got fat up with dealing and negotiating. So I came home with a new vehicle tonight. Although it had 150 miles (It wasn't 125 miles), everything seemed to run smoothly. It turned out that my vehicle was dealer traded from Indiana, which is about 130 miles away, which explains the high mileage. It had nasty bug marks, but the lot techs did a fairly good job of cleaning it off. It wasn't perfect, but very nice overall. They had other vehicles, but all of them had some kind of flaw like scratches or nicks near the key holes. I think I have a talent for finding them.

Anyhow, I just got tired of finding these little nick marks and decided to take the vehicle home. The salesman offered to drop off my old vehicle to my home tomorrow as well.

So the OTD price for Black/Quartz TL w/ NAV/Protection Pack was 35000. All the other dealer around cincinnati area was at least 100 or 200 above invoice while Superior offered 300 below invoice. Also this dealer was closest and had the vehicle I wanted. Superior did offer all the vehicle on the lot for the same price that had less than 10 miles, but this was the only black with Nav.

I am very impressed with the interior and the Nav. The Car has class with enough boost to get the adrenalin rolling. It's black, so I will need to take care of my baby, but it looks SEXY.

Thanks all and happy hunting all.

mikefm58

You did great, and as you can see a vehicle with 100+ miles is nothing to worry about. It probably was a dealer trade that fell through, happens all the time.

petomlin

It helps to put your feet in the show room and butt in the car, to show you are a serious buyer. Do this at all three dealerships.

Go to the dealerships who are higher in $$, show them the numbers you got from the lowest dealership, let them compete against each other. If they are within an hour ride from each other it should work fine. It did for me. You could save yourself hundreds of dollars. I know I did.

I'm certain that a response was posted for this previously, but I wasn't able to find it so sorry if this has been answered before.

I live in Southern California and trying to get an idea of the title, license and other fees that will be added onto the final cost of the car. The tax is easy to figure out - just trying to get an estimate of the out the door cost all in.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Ok, here's my offer:

33,500, seems to be the lowest any CT dealer wants to go. Is anyone else from this area and think this is the norm? According to Edmund's for my area, around $34,060 seems to be the TMV.

Hey guys,

Just bought my Acura TL for 35,000 OTD. Black on black. Will pick up the car today. Am really excited...

Oh, BTW, highly recommend Montclair Acura. Contact the internet sales manager, had a really great experience with him, he is awesome.

Thanks a lot dmarcus

dmarcus48

I'm glad it worked out for you. I found the experience to be about as pleasant as buying a car could be. The internet manager is a nice guy.

Hey,

Here is what I got in an email from the Santa Monica dealership - an out the door price I had asked for.

$31,660.00
$ 45.00 DOC FEE
$ 285.00 LICENSE
$ 2,615.66 TAX

What part of Southern California are you looking for a car?

Hope this helps.

P.S. Got an email from a dealer that the special financing may come back for Memorial Day.

Larry

Hey Larry,
Was this price quote you received from Santa Monica with or without Nav?

Thanks

Tyler

liferules

In my opinion, its above average, but if that's all you can get, then you have to decide 1) put up with it and buy locally, or 2) buy from another state and pay to have it shipped. Certainly, you could save ~$1300 in price in CA from posts here...

sauvy15

What city is this in? Also, where would they have been with Nav?

justalaguy

Tyler,

Was with Nav. It was an email quote and did not actually sit down at the dealer to discuss the details. As you have read on some posts, what dealers say in email quotes may not always be what you get (my opinion) as actual price out the door.

If and when I get ready to buy, I would take a copy of this email with me to try and get that price.

Good luck, and lets hope special financing comes back.

Larry

ty1234

I emailed Santa Monica last night and got a quote of $31,700 for a 2006 6 speed with Nav. I also got a quote from another Southern California dealership of $33,500. I'm going to see what kind of deal I can work out this weekend. I'll write back with any more updates.

graphicguy

seanh2o....I bought my TL from Superior, also....a few months ago. No games. No hidden charges. Good prices. They made a good offer to me up front. Columbia and the place in Dayton wanted too much "back and forth" to get to a good deal.

I did ask them to throw in the all weather mats (the rubber ones) to my deal. They did. I didn't want the protection pack, so declined that. So, I did just a wee bit better on price, but nothing to get all "bent" about.

Superior's service has been....well....Superior. Quick in. Quick out. They've always been able to accomodate me the following day I call them and try to work around my schedule.

I like them.

I'm thinking of adding an RDX to the stable when it comes out. They will be the first phone call I make.

Hey guys, I live in Somerset, NJ and I'm in the market for a '06 TL probably within in the next two weeks. I've been getting quotes left and right from NJ and NY dealerships and so far, the lowest is 32,280 includ dest but not fees and title. Can you guys tell me what's the price breakdown on your TL w/ Navi? Also, if you can give me any contact info on who you guys dealt with, it will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance! -Ray

You may include the dealership name, city and state in your post. Please do not post names of salespeople, telephone numbers, email addresses, or other contact information.

graphicguy

I'm in OH. So, I don't know how much it will relate, but I paid $33K even...all fees included, but tax was extra. This was for a TL with Navi. No trade involved....straight purchase.

That was around November/December time frame, though.

tlinnj

Ray:

I'm in Flemington and looking to purchase a non-Nav TL in the next few weeks as well. My best offer has been $30,600 to date. Where did you get the $32,280 quote from? DB

gabuyer

I read something about special financing for the TL. Does anyone know the specifics of this? I am looking to buy within the week but will hold out if the special financing will be available soon.

justalaguy

Hello,

I was told via an email from a LA dealer that the special financing Acura had the whole month of April "may come back" for the Memorial Day weekend. Could be just a rumor as have not seen anything in the local papers yet. I too am waiting.

Larry

pda97

Hi,

I'm looking for an automatic with Nav. What is the best price that anyone got in San Diego or Orange County (CA) ? Thank you for the replies.

gabuyer

Hey Larry, I talked to the dealership today and the special financing will be the 25th - 29th on new TL's. He did mention however that as of today you can get financing on new TL through Honda Financial for 5.75% with great credit so its not going to be a savings for me at all, unless you are going shorter term which will start at 3.9%.

crazyalex

All - I am purchasing my TL this Saturday, and my dealer says that there are no special financing deals. Are there any internet links that I can use to counter him? What dealerships have you talked to that said that they had the rate for this memorial day weekend??
THANKS!!!

acuintegra

Hi tlinnj, the lowest price I got was from Open Road Acura. The problem is with the help of some posters in the forum, I'm beginning to think they are withOUT dest. Regardless, I did not go w/ them and with the help of dmarcus48, I'm on my way on getting a TL at Montclair Acura.

gabuyer

Hey man, Im in the Atlanta area. I have been to three dealerships and they all had information on the special financing.

justalaguy

Hey Crazyalex,

I'm in LA and just got two emails from LA area dealers that special financing for western states Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington will run from May 25 - May 31st. 3.9% 25-48 months; 4.9 49-60 months.

Not sure what state you are in, but I would like to think if the western states are doing this, then elsewhere must be doing it also.

Hope this helps.

Larry

justalaguy

ga buyer,

Hey, I also received a couple of emails from local LA dealerships about the special financing coming back for contracts written May 25th - May 31. Email mentioned only western states, but I would guess if the special financing is here, then must be everywhere.

Special financing broken down by 3.9% for 25-48 months; 4.9% for 49 -60 months. What rate are you trying to get?

Larry

gabuyer

the rate i was given in ga was 5.9 for 60 months.

preeti

Larry,
I am looking to buy a tl this weekend and live in Santa Monica. Which LA dealership offered the special financing rate??
preeti.

bda1947

I was at Keyes getting my 04 TL an oil change and they have a parking structure behind their store full of cars. I've never seen so many Acura's in stock. One of the salesmen said they have more at another lot. So that's the place to go for selection!

rcoketguy

One of the two Orlando, FL dealerships have a Memorial Day "email" special of $570 over INVOICE and the special Honda Financial Financing of 3.9, 4.9, & 5.9. This includes the Protection Package.

The other Orlando dealership has emailed me an offer of $32900 (this is $76 over INVOICE), but with a dealer fee of $599.

I'm thinking of offering $35000 OTD w/ Protection Pack & Lip Spoiler. I think this is a good offer considering they have 13 Alabaster Silver, 5spd AT w/Nav IN STOCK.

gate87

Ray - Let me know how you make out at Montclair Acura. Open Road also have me the lowest quote which was matched by others. When I spoke to Montclair and gave them the lowest number ($30,600 with destination) they did not want to go that low. If you have a good experience at Montclair I will try them again. What help did dmarcus48 provide? Ben

justalaguy

preeti,

got emails from Browning Acura and South Coast Acura, but it said applies to all California dealers. When I was looking to buy in April, through various emails, Santa Monica had the best offer.

Good luck and may see you this weekend at Santa Monica.

Larry

dmarcus48

this is dmarcus. The only thing i did for ray was tell him to call the internet manager at Montclair. I don't work there or anything, a couple of us have just found that they're the cheapest in total costs (i.e. doc fee, mv fee, cost of car), in the NJ area. As for Ray he emailed me last night, he's picking up his black on black tl today.

lcomplex

Hey Larry, I assume that quote is for a TL w/Navi, am I right?

Is it from Santa Monica? I got an offer of 35K OTD from another South Cal Dealer in Alhambra...

Please verify that and I will really appreciate if you can forward me the quote. Thanks in advance!

justalaguy

lcomplex,

Yes, it was with a nav system. Quote was in form of an email, so not an "official" quote.

Good luck with your search. Which color are you going for? Have you had any luck getting a "written offer" from any dealer that you can take with you to other dealers to match?

Larry

happytl

the price that santa monica is doing is samewhere in the mid 34's otd like 34600.00 I beleave.

happytl

the rate from american honda for 60 months is 5.99

Just purchased today at Acura of Peabody (just North of Boston).

I went in well-prepared (many thanks to all in this forum) and had a good sales rep and straight-forward GM (which was a pleasant surprise since the last time I purchased an Acura they wouldn't deal and I was forced to travel over an hour away to NH to get my deal). These factors all combined to make it happen.

Got for just below invoice at $32185 (plus destination, TTL, and doc fee). I was happy with this deal as apparantly a Black 6MT with navi and quartz is in short supply here in the NE (plenty of 5 spd automatics, but not nearly as many 6 spd manuals with navi and my preferred color combo).

Can't wait to take delivery!

janber

Can anyone tell me what the best price is you have seen on a 2006 TL w/navi in Dallas? I was told Goodson Acura is a good, no nonsense dealership if you have done your homework.

carscar

I got $35K even OTD for TL with Navi in Dallas.

Let me know if you get anything better.
