I got mine from Radley. Pohanka couldnt touch Radley's price.

Sure! One more thing, if you get this phone (Katana) turn the bluetooth off when you are not in the car, otherwise you have to charge the phone almost every day!

qubic27,

I hope you are still monitoring this board because I am curious about the $500 off the original OTD price that you got from your dealer. Is this a manufacturer/bank to dealer incentive? I can't find any information on it online.

I am in the final stage of negotiating with dealers for a 07 TL with Nav, Black/Taupe. It would be nice to bring down the OTD price $500.

Anyone knows anything about this?

Thanks! :confuse:

I have a pretty nice quote from a local dealer, but my fiance wonders if the low quote is because the car is a lemon. Now that she has raised this possibility, I am getting all paranoid. What do you think? Is this a possibility?

qubic27

Hi vnh84,

I spoke to three dealers, each one eventually admitted they had a 500 dollar off incentive if I took financing through Honda Motor Company. Tustin Acura first said they didn't have that offer, they only admitted later that they did after I told them Alhambra Acura is offering a lower quote. When I told Tustin the price I was being offered from Alhambra Acura (did not mention the 500 incentive for taking the loan through Honda), Tustin replied with a statement saying they could match that price only if I financed my car through Honda Motor Company. I was a bit upset at Tustin because the first time I spoke to them I point blank asked them if they had the offer and they said no, only after I was offered a lower quote did they come out and tell me they did. Of course that was enough for me not to buy my car through Tustin.

As for the lemon thing. Not sure if it is legal to sell a car that is known to be a lemon without mentioning it to the buyer. Also if that is true, each one of those three dealers must have lemons in the color I was looking for sitting on their lots. Not very likely. I was about to settle for the 36,650 price with Tustin but ended up getting my car for 36,120.

Lastly, like you, I had no idea in regards to this 500 dollar incentive for financing through Honda. I could not find anything online documenting this other than the information I read on this site. However it turned out to be true. Give it a try, the worst you could do is save 500 dollars. Are you working with So.Cal dealerships? This may only be a so.Cal offer. What's the price you have been quoted if you don't mind me asking.

Just started negotiating with Lehigh Valley Acura in Allentown Pa. today. Quoted me $36,995 before TT&L on a 2007 TL Type S. They said the $500 back from financing with Honda Motor Corp ended the beginning of June. Also said the price was the best they could do since the car was a "hot" car and the 10 they had were more than any other area dealers. Also said some deals were going for MSRP.

Seems a far cry from the $35,000 paid by p3bPilot a few posts up.

What do you think?

joshuah1

Just purchased a TL S type today for $37,400 in Salt Lake City. The other dealer in town was asking $37,500. Both of them seem to be looking at Edmunds because of the similarity in their offers. In fact, one mentioned the site and said that the TMV had gone up $300-400 in the last week which I already knew. It may be that their decent trade-in offer on my MDX played a role...perhaps I could have done better with no trade in the formula?!? Did I overpay? JH

Hi I am looking for Acura TL w/o navigation to buy. What price can I expect from a dealer which includes destination? How much will they be going below invoice price (31500)? Please do let me know if should be going to any particular dealer. I am in brooklyn, can go around to NJ, long island to buy. Thank you.

The cars are going for close to invoice in the Atlanta area. I was able to get my car for ~$300 under invoice with the protection package thrown in (not calculated in the price). We're lucky to have 5 Acura dealerships within an hour's drive and perhaps more importantly, several Audi, BMW, Infiniti, Mercedes, and Cadillac dealers as well. (When I bought my car a few weeks ago, the Infiniti dealer was pushing M35's at under Invoice with 1.9% financing. I think A4's are basically free right now too, as are the current gen CTS's)

Also, when you see out the door prices on this forum, keep in mind that not everyone pays the same taxes, so some of the deals that seem too good to be true, probably are in your area. (e.g. We have 7% taxes in our county and 2 miles from my house they're 6%, and a few miles further they're even lower or higher)

Ultimately it came down to the 328, the G35 and the TL Type-S. The G35 was nice, but the gas mileage was terrible, the back seat was as small as my A4 (too small), and the navigation is crippled while driving. The TL offered virtually identical power (though I wish it was AWD/RWD) and a much larger back seat and better gas mileage. The 328 broke the $40k line before I even had navigation added, so that was out.

Even though the TL Type-S is an outgoing model after next year, there's something to be said for getting a car with every option available. It makes it easier to live with down the road knowing you didn't leave anything on the table to regret not adding to the car.

My 2 cents.

wbrook

I was quoted $300 under invoice, whether I went with the TL Type-S or the TL w/Navi.

billakishan

Thank you wbrook.

Hello, I am new to these forums and have absorbed alot of useful information. I will begin to negotiate on a 2006 TL/Navi this morning. This will be my first Acura purchase and would greatly appreciate any advice that you gents have to offer.

I am currently working with the internet manager and have been told that he will present his best OTD offer this morning. The 2006 TL/Navi is listed on the dealer website with mileage at 8,000 and a price of $31,988.

It appears that this dealership thinks this vehicle is worth what people were paying a year ago brand new. I would appreciate any advice as to what target price I should shoot for.

Thanks in advance for any advice that you can provide.

armanipatrick

av8r7,
I can't tell you what a good price is for a used 2006, but I paid $33700 for a new 2007 TL/Navi and you will find others on this board who paid even less and got spalsh guards, trunk trays, etc. thrown in. So I, personally, would not pay $32k for a used 06. You should be able to do much better, IMHO.

greenhorn1

I am about to buy a 2007 Acura TL with Navigation but I will not take the incentive financing. I read through recent emails on this site but was not clear on whether purchase prices mentioned were or were not in connection with the incentive financing which reduces the sales price by $500. Any guidance on base purchase price I should pay would be appreciated.

qubic27

Greenhorn,

The price I listed in post #8033 was the price I got OTD with the incentive financing. Just add 500 dollars to the OTD price for the non-incentive financing price.

Qubic27

av8r7

Ok they just came in with an OTD price of $29,988. What do you guys think? 2006 TL/Navi with 8,000 miles.

Thanks armanipatrick for the reply.

greenhorn1

Dear qubic27, Thanks for the quick response.

tlsvsg

Hello,

Congrats!!! and Thanks for sharing the info. Could you please share the name of the dealership? I am located in Detroit MI, The quotes i got from the dealer are way too high than the price you got. Thanks in Advance!!!

ref965

wbrook, where did you get your deal? This weekend I had a terrible experience with a pushy, overbearing salesman that totally turned me off to the dealership. I had previously sent email messages to each Atlanta and Athens Acura dealer and none of them responded.

Hi, I have the following quote. Am new to the forum and this is my first experience buying a new car...so I could use some help ..:)
TL-S Bronze pearl, Taupe interior
34,637 (includes destination fees) + tax. the only car that this dealer has with my color preference has some plated wheels, so thats an additional 1500. Is this a good deal?

wbrook

That's pretty much what I bought my CBP TL-S for last month, give or take a few dollars (close enough that it's not worth checking). It's a decent deal, grab it. The TL-S is great and be sure to tint the windows, it really helps that color look sharp.

(I also have the Taupe interior, much nicer than the black/silver split in my opinion, though I'm sure it will be fun to keep clean)

*

ausdtech

Thats a decent price for the car but unless you really want the wheels ask them to either switch the car back to stock wheels or trade with another dealer for a car w/out the add-on wheels.

nandini

Just got another deal - 37,500 OTD with all the free stuff - wheel locks, floor mats etc plus first free service. Good deal?

And yeah, this dealer has cars that were delivered just yesterday, so I don't even have to go for the last one in the inventory. So no wheel issues Makes me feel better....

jmd1

Today I bought a TL Type S (Silver w/Ebony-Silver Interior)for $35,495 (before TT&L). Had to finance through Honda Credit to get the price.

new2cars

Thanks for your helpful info and script! Question: Does the $77/ year include NavTraffic too? I'd like to continue the XM along with NavTraffic option.

Thanks in advance for your help!

ausdtech

No, the $77/year promo doesn't include traffic but you can add it for ~$48/year

downersdan

Hi all
Anyone with recent price info for TLS w/ AT and all season tires in west suburbs of chicago or nearby? Could be convinced to go with summer hpt w/ expectation of blizzaks or similar - any opinions on this [opinions on this forum? ]?

Any idea if current financing deal expiring 7/2 will be extended?

Thnx in advance

andywuwei

I am looking into buying a 07 TL w/o navigation system and want to take advantage of the 1.9% special finance rate. Can anybody explain the creteria to be a "qualified buyer"? How long does the "qualification" process take? Thanks a lot.

ausdtech

"Qualified buyer" refers to your FICO credit score. I believe 710 is the minimum auto-adjusted FICO to qualify for Honda Finance's special rates.

When they run your credit at the dealership they can usually tell you immediately if you qualify.

andywuwei

Thank you! I am not sure if my score is 710 or above. Will take my chance this weekend. :-)

qubic27

Goose,

I'm not sure what city/state you are in but I got the 2007 TL with Navi quoted at 33,302.00 (this price includes destination). I was able to lower it by another 500 dollars by financing through Honda Motor Company. IMO the price you have been quoted is quite high. I bought my car in Southern California (Orange County).

donp3

Right now the best price I have is $35,137 with an offer that no matter where I'm at, if the car breaks down they will deliver a loaner on the spot. This might be good since I commute between Cincinnati and Cleveland weekly for work. But the again, how often do these cars break down? Another dealer offers lifetime tires - I could see that as being a real good deal with as much driving as I will be making.

bertinoj

I bought a TL type S this past Monday and I love it. The deal was just too good to pass up. It was 34910 total price for car. I leased it, and had some inequity with my trade, but I could not believe that the MSRP of 38795 (including delivery) was reduced to 34910 when it was all said and done.

flight2456

Bertinoj, what are the details of the lease? I am looking to lease a TL-S for three years/12K and any info helping me on what payments I should expect to pay would be appreciated. Thanks!

bertinoj

The details were 36 months/ 12K yr. The current lease deal that Acura is offering has an incredible lease money factor. I think it equated to 2.3%. The expected monthly payment would depend on a bunch of factors. I can give you my exact parameters and you can basically get an idea of where you would be depending on where your at out the door.

Total after adding back in my inequity was 42K. My payments are 628 + tax each month.

Hi Downsdan,

I just bought a base model TL, no navi, Blue with taupe, this saturday from Woodfield Acura. I paid an OTD price of $33,408 with the 1.9% financing. Everything was done over the internet. I got e-mailed prices from 5 dealerships and Woodfield was the lowest. They've got an internet manager and I found him to be very fair and straightforward. If you're in DuPage county, your tax rate may be lower. Good Luck.

andywuwei

Bought my TL base this past Friday for $33500 OTD from Hopkins Acura at Fairfield (North CA). I also got the 1.9% financing rate. Similar to other people's experience, our negotiations were done primarily over the internet. The internet manager at the dealership is professional and helpful.

Had the TL for three days, everything is perfect except one small thing. I noted there is a small noise coming out of the central console area which is annoying. Buyers please pay attention.

Thanks.

downersdan

Thnx for this info and the recommendation. As they've extended the 1.9% till 7/5, i've got another day or 2 to noodle things. Best internet quote for TL-S of $35.6k and will keep the forum advised.

typesnsac

I just bought a demo from Neillo Acura in Sacramento, with 5k miles on it, with the o.e.m aero kit. They added the 5k to the warranty. Price was $34k even before T.T.L.

donp3

I'm now at $34,944 and it's close enough. I'm going to buy tomorrow. I'll work on getting some freebies added. If I picked a less popular color than Carbon Bronze Pearl (like the Silver) I could have gotten it for $34,650.

fusiondog

Purchased 2007 TL with navigation on Saturday 6/30 from Norm Reeves Acura of Mission Viejo. Price was $32985 + TTL. OTD price was $35814 (7.75% sales tax). I couldn't get the dealer to include wheel locks or any other extras at this price, but still feel like it was a good deal. Dealership is under renovation and it was the end of the month. Their internet contact was very pleasant to deal with.

I actually live in San Diego County about 50 miles away from this dealer, but they offered the best price and were most willing to provide concrete price information via e-mail. The best price I could get in San Diego was $33800 + TTL, even after asking local dealers to match the price above. Local dealer even told me that they couldn't match the pricing in Orange and Los Angeles counties. Good luck to other purchasers.

willis3

Was at Piazza Acura (formerly Ardmore Acura) yesterday. Was able to drive a manual Type-S, nice car. They only had Alabaster Silver on the lot, I would prefer the Kinetic Blue.

Talked price, the salesman shows me the TMV price from the Edmunds site. I tell him you know where I want to be, he says let's split the difference. The difference would be around $36.1k, he would probably go to $36k, think I can get him to invoice?

vnh84

Bought a 2007 TL with Navigation (Black on Black) last week for $32,900 (base price before TTL) with wheel locks included using Acura Financing. OTD price was $35,772. This was from a Bay Area dealer.

donp3

The blue is hard to find. Originally I wanted blue, but I didn't like the way it looks with the Type S rims.

I'm paying invoice -$500 for using the 3.9% financing. If I wasn't using financing, it would be straight invoice. The car had only 1 mile on it, brand new. BTW I went with Carbon Bronze Pearl. The red looks good with the Type S rims also.

willis3

I agree that the Carbon Bronze is a good match for the rims. I haven't seen the kinetic blue in person yet, hopefully I won't feel the same way.

Montclair Acura says they can get me the car for $36,388.

Red is nice, but I don't want to stand out too much.

ystror

I live in Cleveland area, and I'm looking for buying a TL Type s manual. I haven't seen anything cheaper than $36,500. Your $35,137 looks much more attractive. What dealership was it at?
