My total OTD price for TL-SHAWD non tech was $38995. (Includes all taxes, flaps, wheel locks)
Yesterday, I called Acura of Montclair and talked to a very nice internet sales lady. She gave me a quote of invoice less $5 pretax for the AWD with Tech. That means $39570 or so. She told me she would not sell it for less. She urged me to go there asap because there were only 3 left. I thanked her and said the 3 TL AWD with Tech would most likely still be there a month later.
We are in the same boat, dealers here in Fairfiled and New Haven County CT are doing the same, they are not sharing any of the $2K available.
According to my CU printout, the model you are seeking invoice price is $40,489 including destination. Dealer incentive is as listed on this sheet 1000, and holdback 1297. I think this printout was just before the month the incentives changed to 2000 for all Techs. CU's 'bottom line' price is $38192.
Stay strong, sometimes a personal visit helps. I know Springfield stayed in closer contact with me after I visited them.

Gina, you won't get the gas mileage on this car like you got on the Camry, but you will enjoy the driving experience so much more, and...you will be noticed. My wife already got: "Whoa! ...nice car ma'am!"
1. Did you get a TL/Tech or a TL base model?
2. And, when you said "... I just have the TL and I paid $30.4K for an out of the door price of $33.4K and this was from a dealership in Gaithersburg, MD..." I am not sure what you meant here. Are you saying that you paid $30.4K for the TL/Base or TL/Tech?
3. And, what do you mean by $30.4K out of $33.4K? Are you saying that you were able to bring the price down from 33.4K to 30.4K?
Thanks for your help.
TL Tech FWD
Wheel Locks
Trunk liner
Mud Flaps
$34K including destination
(Tax & tags extra)
Looked at 6 dealerships in Philly Burb & Central NJ.
Where did you get your acura tl sh awd in SoCal. I tried Keyes, they had alot of them but would not come down to your price.
1. I got a base model, the dealer and I couldn't come to an agreement over $900 on a Tech model and I wasn't coming out of pocket for it.
2. The price of the car was $30.4K and my final out of the door price was $33.4 (including tax, tag, title, etc)
3. No, the price just for the car was $30.K and my final price for everything ended up being $33.4K.
I hope this clarifies but if not please feel free to ask additional questions.

CPOd, 26,000 miles
Option 2: 2008 Acura TL Base - $26.985
CPOd, 11,000 miles
Option 3: 2009 Acura TSX TECH (with Navi obviously) - $27,500
CPOd, 10,000 miles
Which would you go with and why? These all seem to have about the same sticker price and I feel I could negotiate down a bit on the TLs. Probably not much negotiation room available on the TSX. I guess it depends how much I think Navigation is worth.
if u are planning to keep the car for a long time, go for 2009 tsx.
first of all it's a newer redesigned model and it's bigger and roomier than a 08 tl
and second of all, as the newer car model comes in people tend not to have the same kind of love on thier old cars anymore. acura tl has been redesigned too.
on the contrary, if you are a value customer and bang for the buck guy and if the dealer got you a super good deal on a 08 tl, that u cant reject , got for a 08 tl.
Thank you for your reply. The 09 TSX is slightly smaller than the 08 TL (around 2 inches shorter overall). The inside does feel practically the same size, maybe a little less width overall.
My concern was that during the test drive it feels like the older TLs have more low end torque. The 09 TSX seems to strain to even get up to highway speeds.
I really like the exterior of the 08 TL more than the 09 TSX. Interior it seems the 09 TSX has better speakers and potentially the chance to get Nav.
A 09 TL is way out of my price range.
I plan on keeping the car for at least 7 or 8 years.
The reason the wife and I are looking at an '09 TL and passed last year on a new '08 TL was the interior room. She's coming out of a '99 Chrysler 300M with lots of interior room, so she is fussy about interior space. The '09 TL is roomier than the '08 and much more so than the '09 TSX.
I am on the search for an 09 TL with Tech pkg in Texas for purchase, and the best offer to date is $37,705 in Austin.
After reading through some of the experiences bloggers on this thread have had, I realize that I may be dealing with an offer that is really not much of 'deal'.
Any idea where i may get a better price in Texas? Pleeease help!! Thanks.

I'm picking up my new tl tomorrow and let me just say that my sales price is below this tl base 30,706 and tl base w/tech 32,854 -when it's all done I'll post my actual but it's lower than these- yippe kay yay
i'm beating the dmv increase come monday
come to me Grigio metallic with parchment....
and if you happened to have an expiring Honda Finance Lease (I didn't ;-((( then make sure you get the loyalty letter from HFAC good for $1500 currently on the TL.
We've been spending lots of time in ours, and it's got 'all day comfort!".
Each dealer I've visited tells me inventory is getting scarce because Acura idled the plants...yet I see 15-30 TLs on their lots. What gives? Don't they want to sell these cars?
I'm in no hurry to buy a car as my 9 year old Camry still runs fine. I've been saving up and wanted to take advantage of the lower prices and sales tax deduction.
Do you think Acura will up the ante on the rebates and discounts the closer we get to July 4th?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
i also got the Costco price. Apparently not being the Costco dealer rankles one local dealer - he immediately met the Costco price, but said he couldn't afford to sell me a car for any less than that. The Costco price is good, but I already beat that on my own. I've asked my lowest bid if that was the best he could do, we'll see what kind of response I get back.
The common thread running through all of my interactions is that they can't guarantee the color car I want will still be on the lot when I go to complete the transaction. My preference is for polished metal with taupe interior (supplies are plentiful) - but any color car besides black or bronze would be perfectly fine if the price is right. I'll take my chances.
I'll post purchase price once I have the car.
I wasn't planning to purchase until mid-June, but it may make sense to wait a few more weeks. I can always rent a car for my trip.
Pls share your experience with dealers and also post the best quote you have received so far.
I also tried the Costo program, it is just not competitive any more..
$34,025 is the lowest current price before sales tax and junk fees. I keep getting emails from dealers offering "car club" and friends & family discounts.
I'll keep waiting. Although I really like the TL w/tech, I have a Garmin for when I travel. My commute is 7 miles through a residential area. The back-up camera is what I really like, but is it worth $4k more? I might reconsider and look again at the base TL. It's definitely within my budget.
In addition, I have a backup camera on my rv, where it is needed, not on a 15-16 foot car.
- Is Acura coming out with a new model for TL this year ? Would that bring the price of the 2009 model further down ?
- Also, does anyone know if the incentives in June will be better than the ones being offered now ??
Please help.
TL with tech:
Seat too firm, lumbar support protrudes too much even when fully adjusted back...has anyone else found this to be true? I have a history of back problems...do not want to make a mistake and have to re-sell quickly and lose money. I'm told by the dealer the SH seat is softer...have yet to test it fully. Acura info is that SH side bolsters are enhanced...nothing about the whole seat being softer...is it really softer all around?
Wheels are a real problem...dislike the stock wheels look and size too small. Upgrades are ridiculously priced...around 3k for chrome with new tires. Could spend the same money to get the SH instead...but really concerned about the hard ride with the sport tuned suspension. The wheels on the SH are better...but not ideal...as they show too much of the brake assembly etc. Also, there aren't even any pictures of the car with the upgraded chrome wheel option...the pics on th acura site are with wheels that are not what is offered as an option...pretty ridiculous actually not to have the pics showing the options being offered.
Would love to have softer seats and AWD without firm suspension. How firm is it really anyway? I would not typically buy something with a firm ride. Love the idea of AWD since we got tons of rain here in South Florida and my gut feeling is it would be safer and fun to drive.
The infiniti G is my next choice...pretty much giving me all I need...but not too excited about the styling, smaller size, and the fact that model is mid-generation and will change in 2 to 3 years. May have to pull the trigger and get the G if I can't find a solution that works on the TL. The G offers factory upgraded performance wheels for an additional $500...very reasonable compared to $3k wheels for the TL...and can't even find any pics to see what it would look like (the build your TL web pics aren't good at all)....and no information on what tires would be installed with the chrome wheels...I'm thinking a 245/50/18 would be less harsh than a 245/45/18 like what you get on the SH, but I think they use the lower profile 45s.
Help!
Thanks!
