Its a white, 07 TL Type S, Automatic. I got a killer deal, $33,300 plus TTL. Options: tinted windows (looks gorgeous), wheel locks, Phantom Theft Deterrent engravings, & mud guards. I love the car & the price was awesome!
If you are in Southern California, make a trip to Acura 101 West in Calabasas. The whole sales transaction was wonderful. No stress, no high pressure, smooth deal. Ask for the Fleet Manager to get the best prices.
This car is so much fun to drive. The voice recognition works really well, too (for the bluetooth phone & for nav & the radio/temperature controls). Nothing negative yet at all, although I have only had the car for a couple hours. I just wanted to share the great experience I had at Acura 101 West :shades:

Good luck with your new TL-S.
I love the car, it's everything I imagined and more. I put over 150 miles on it yesterday driving all over the place. Only slightest negative thing - the turning radius is pretty large (even larger than my Honda Odyssey). But thats it - everything else is so wonderful
Financing: still working that out. I had 6.25 from Capital One that I had planned on using, to take advantage of the $1500 instead of the Acura 4.9 (worked it out and I was money ahead with the 6.25% and the $1500 off the price). BUT the finance guy is working on trying to get us a better rate (not using the Acura financing). So I am not sure what exactly we will end up with.
Great car - go get one!

Final out the door:
Also was the 1500.00 you referred to the 1500.00 dealer incentive from Acura to your dealer?
Wouldn't the 4.9 from Acura be a pretty good deal on financing?
Cash Price Vehicle: 32,975
Cash Price Accessories: 465 (tint & mud guards)

We gave about a 25% down payment
Our cash price included the $1500 dealer incentive, which is not available if you use the 4.9.
We could have not taken that $1500 and instead used their 4.9 financing. The financing we ended up with was 6.1. Doing the math we found that our payment was less doing the 6.1 and taking the $1500 vs. adding $1500 to the 32975 price and using their 4.9.
I was told after the fact that the only reason they were able to make this deal was because they had not sold a car that day. It was a price match from a different dealer. So you may not to be able to get this low of a price, but it is certainly worth a try!
I Still LOVE this car!
Thanks

This is the exact color combination I have, CBP with Taupe interior, 6MT. But I don't think you'll be able to get this for invoice.
And the best part is I love my new Acura TL Type S in Kinetic Blue and Ebony/Silver interior. The ONLY negatives so far are: rear seat room seems less than my Accord, gas mileage is low to start (dealer told me it will improve over the first couple of months) and no Sirius (I tried XM once before in my Accord and didn't like it at all but I need it for real time traffic in the TL).
The car is mad fast! I put the pedal to the metal the other day from about 10mph and was astounded how fast I got up to 70mph! I love the Bluetooth. The seating is extremely comfortable even though I'm a bit wide across the beam. I was concerned about the dark interior and the heat but it does cool down very fast. Still can't believe the looks I get from other drivers and pedestrians!

Best quote so far is $30635 +TTL.
1. I go into the F&I guy's office. I decline the warranty, Lojack, etc. I'm given a piece of paper to sign that looks like a theft insurance policy arising from the etched windows. I said, "I didn't request this, and I'm not signing this." He got all huffy, and said this was already built in to the agreed-upon price, there's no way not to have it, etc., etc. And sure enough, the base cap cost was what I was expecting, and I didn't see any mysterious additions on the lease form. Monthly price was as agreed. So I signed it. But regardless, I can't help but feel I paid for something I didn't want/need.
2. I'm kicking myself for not noticing this before I drove off the lot (but then again, I didn't know how to switch away from the trip computer to the odometer, and I'm starting to wonder if it was set like that for a reason...) Anyway, while talking to the F&I guy, he made a big production about how the car has nine miles on it, but, well, let's go ahead and put down 11 since they had to run it to the gas station up the street to fill up the tank. He and I both sign a form that indicates that it is illegal for the lessor to misrepresent the mileage (or something along those lines). We finish up, and I take the car. After a few miles, I figure out how to switch to the odometer, and the car has nearly 100 miles on it. I'm not too upset about it -- it's about $20 of a mileage allowance -- but it's hard to defend. Really, I'm mainly just annoyed because of course there's no way I could possibly prove this at this point -- for all they know, I racked up those miles.
Is this type of stuff normal? Did I get out of there without too much trouble?
Honda includes GAP insurance at no costs. It sound like thats what you were signing for.
100 miles is no big deal. If you felt you were mislead you should have turned around and gone back to the dealer and faked that you were going to return the car and demanded something else if they wouldn't swap one out for you.
But again 100 miles is no big deal.
Enjoy your new car...and forget about that one..
After a little more prodding of the 4 dealerships (all via E-Mail, no phone calls), Acura Of Boston quoted me $30,000 for a brand new 2007 Acura TL (including the mats & wheel locks). Went there today & finalized the deal with no problems (did not use the Acura financing perks, instead the $1500 cash rebate was applied to the deal). They even gave me right around Kelley Blue Book trade-in value for my car, which is pretty good considering the price for the Acura has got to be just about rock bottom even with the rebate.
They still have 3 base 2007 TL's left & maybe a 10-12 2007 TL's with Navi. They want to move these cars as they're already loaded with 2008 TL's on the lot! High volume dealer so they move a lot of cars (I'm told about 200 a month). Only drawback was the per usual $299.75 doc fee, but what can you do. I live in N.H. so no sales tax for me!
As a long time reader (first time poster) I'd like to thank everyone who posts on these forums, as there's a lot of great advice offered & the forums are a great resource! The Edmund's quick quote featured worked great as well for negotiating the best deal between the dealerships.
$30,000 with mats & wheel locks is a super deal, so anyone interested should try Acura Of Boston before July 31 (I think the $1500 rebate expires then). They have lots of TL's left with Navi, so I'm guessing in the $32,000-$32,500 range would be possible for those cars! Good luck (ask for Erik, he's a good guy & has only been there a month, and he's polite & pleasant to deal with, which is a far cry from some of my previous sales people over the years).
I pick up my black beauty on Monday.
would I be able to work a sale price of an 08 at the same as an 07? or are they dealing more on the 07s?
i can lease or purchase - whichever makes mor sense. the lease deals seem to have been better int he past..but can you get the same financing rates on 07s and 08s?
as far as I know, the 07s and 08s are identical correct? is there any reason, aside from price/residuals/etc to get an 08? it won't be a "better" car..it's the same as an 07...
$29848 is already $200 below invoice.
