so does that mean if I had a 30,300 quote in early July for a TL, they will now offer me 29,300? (I got that quote from the Tustin dealer
29.3 without Nav feels about right but I have not priced this version specificially....however about $1800 for Nav could be possible.
Competition is EVERY OTHER CAR DEALERSHIP not just Acura.
There must be other car dealerships in your area - Honda, Toyota, VW, Nissan or Infinity. Do a little research on some cars that are close to the TL/TSX - but are selling at a price that is below them. The Camry SE is a good comparison to the TL - more HP, 6 speed auto, uses regular gas, new model - ITS A 2007! Accord or Jetta stacks up to the TSX.
For example - if you want the TL -
Then go into Acura and talk to them - let them know you want the TL & you know about the $1,000 cash - but want a good deal - tell them your second choice is the Canmry SE (guess that is selling for about $27,500) - want to buy today (before the guys over at Toyota sell the SE that they have in stock that is EXACTLY what you want) - but it needs to be $29,500 - see what they say.
Also, when negotiating, do I just ask the dealer for a copy of their invoice for the car? Is this normal. Again, I am not looking for the deal of the century. Just don't want to be the one who is driving those TMV averages up! Sorry for all the dumb questions.
Rick Starr Acura in Ft. Pierce was $33500 plus $299 for dealer fees plus TTL.
Gatorland Acura in Gainesville was $33000 plus TTL and includes pro pack.
Palm Beach Acura was $31988 plus TTL and said they would beat any other quote by $100.
So far that's all I've got. Keep me posted on any deals you find in FL.
That's exactly what I'm trying to do, but so far, the three dealers I've been chatting with haven't blinked. They're telling me when the 07's hit the floor, the price will be MSRP.
Regal Acura in Lakeland: sales price $33425, OTD $36089
Fountain Acura in Orlando: $33400 plus TTL
Courtesy Acura in Sanford: $33000 plus TTL, incl. pro pack
I still love the car, but have not bought yet and am hoping the special financing will come back in September or so, or worse case, credit unions will come out with similar deals.
What I've done in the past is what many of the people on this board have done - that is, basically, email the Internet Manager, get an email quote and go to the next dealer and ask "by how much can you beat this price?" or words like that.
We in the LA area have the luxury of many car dealers in the greater metro LA area that want to make the sale.
I hope this helps.
Just looking for people's thoughts on this...thanks..

PS - Here's the Boston Globe article:

What are some of the OTD prices paid in DFW? At what dealership? I've been told by some dealers you can combine the financing and $1000 incentive and others you can't.
I paid $32300 + TTL for TL w/navi which included pro package at Sterling McCall. The OTD price was $34481. There were three dealers in houston area that were pretty close to this deal. This comes out to $500 less than the invoice. The only crook in Houston Acura dealer field was Gillman Acura who wanted $1000 over invoice and was pointing me to Edmunds site TMV prices. I sent him the link to this site just to show him that he was not dealing with an idiot.
I was also told by my sales guy that in DFW, you might be able to get about $200 less than the Houston market. I hope this helps others looking for their TL.
This site rocks!
I loved being single and I loved my lady magnets. I've owned a Benz E-320, Porsche 911, and now lease a 2 door Infiniti G35. But now that I'm happily married AND have a kid on the way, I'm trading in the sports cars for the...er... "family" vehicles.
My wife (God bless her), needs a solid navigation system (the G35 nav is awful). I love her to death but she could get lost in a supermarket. Correct me if I'm wrong but the Acura's have the best? I understand that they have or WILL HAVE up to the minute traffic reports ON the nav????
We live in Los Angeles and traffic stinks.
My question is, after reading about 12 pages of wonderful material, do I lease the TL now in 2006 with the great discounts (but bad rates), or wait until the end of the year (my G35 lease is up EOM so I'll rent a car for a few months)when the 2007's are out (albeit at a higher rate)?
Also, am waiting on the 2007 MDX - They're trying to give away the 2006 models, but the 2007 suspension and other bonuses look way too intriguing and much more appealing than their competitors.
I appreciate the advice. I'm off to the Thousand Oaks auto mall to look at BMW'S (X3, X5) and the Infiniti's (G35 4 door), and even the Mercedes C series. In the end... the wife always wins!
I appreciate any feedback.
Newbie,

Certainly you will get a cheaper purchase price on the TL now rather than after the '07's are out. Sometimes there are lease deals in December, but one cannot guesstimate if they'll be as good as the deals to be had now.
Good luck!
That's what they always say, but I never believe it. That just means they have no problem meeting their quotas for volume bonuses. I doubt there are "other" bonuses and incentives.
I just wanted to let everyone know the price I paid so you can use it as a comparison if you're shopping for a TL. I was searching for months to find a used white TL with Navigation and parchment interior and low miles, but could only find them hundreds of miles away. One day I filled out an online new car price quote just out of curiosity and was shocked to see a new one was almost the same as some people were charging for 1 or 2 year old models!
I bought a new 06 TL with navigation and 6 speed for $31,490. I also purchased the 8 year/120,000 extended bumper to bumper warranty for only $1300. I bought mine at Mike Piazza Acura in West Chester, PA. I also received a price quote from another dealer, Montgomeryville Acura which was $140 less, but I chose the one that was closer to me because the lower priced dealer is almost 50 miles from me.
Since them, I've been to Executive in North Haven and Acura of Milford, and have talked price with NH internet mgr only. I have no desire to visit Greenwich Acura (nor any other car dealership in Greenwich, generally). Executive was really great to work with, while Devan was kind of 'if not you someone else', and Acura of Milford seemed more interested in badmouthing the fact that the local Toyota dealer was pushing more Camrys out per month than they'd sold in TLs all year.
North Haven offered 33,490 for an '06 automatic with NAVI. Add on 6.5% sales tax plus the 'destination fee' and you're approaching 36K. The dealer assured me that the price was good for any Acura he could find in the tri-state area (i.e., color/interior combo I want that is still available). Sticker on the car was 35.9K, so I figure they are quoting about $500 over invoice. I am going to try and get the 2.9% financing for 48-60 months through Honda, and think I'll get it because it seems that in CT there is a *TON* of '06 inventory sitting around doing nothing.
Good Luck!
I intend to purchase a 2006 Acura Tl with Navi in the NJ/PA area and this is the best price I have seen.
Thx
Are the $1000 cash to dealer and "special" APR deal mutually exclusive?
And what's a reasonable destination charge and admin fee if anything?
Looks like alot of the good deals for the TL arein Southern Cal. Anybody know of a dealer in North California giving good deals?
Thanks
I purchased my TL from Sterling McCall in late July via the internet process and found them to be the most competitive dealer in Houston. They gave me very fair conditions ($500 below invoice and 4.9% financing). I also found Gillman :lemon: to be very proud of their vehicles and over priced.
Sterling McCall has the largest selection of TL's and best pricing structure in Houston. Buying a car from them is a no brainer.
The lowest I've found recently is 30,980 for a 2006 Acura TL WITH Navigation. This price includes EVERYTHING except tax and tags.
Would you mind going to Eastern PA to save 1000 off that Long Island price? How much is a greyhound ticket to PA? You can buy a 2006 Acura TL with NAVI including all fees for 30,850!!! I received some good quotes from NJ dealers as well so if you'd rather go that route I can check through my email quotes for what the NJ dealers were charging.
Here are my calculations for true dealer cost:
TL w/ Nav:
Invoice less dealer holdback of 3% of Bsse MSRP less $1000 dealer incentive ($32,205 - $1,060 - $1000) = $30,145
TL w/o Nav = ($30,384 - $1,000 - $1,000) - $28,384.
Typically, its considered a fair deal if the dealership makes a 5% profit, so for TL w/Nav, a 5% margin would put the price of the car before TTL at $31,653 whereas w/o Nav would be $29,803. If you can get them at or below these prices then I would consider it a pretty good deal.
