    not bad price...although If you can haggle upto 38K then it can be sweet deal...notmuch discount on 2010 model (someone posted 1k dealer cash/rebate few few posts ago...not sure if it's valid)...what dealership in NJ? park acura?
  • cubanazocubanazo Member Posts: 2
    Is over at Springfield Acura, and it includes the 1k cash rebate. Don't know if I can take it down to 38K, but will try.
    Thanks for the input.

    At this price, with 1.9% Acura financing, plus the sales tax deduction (worth at least $1,000 for Californians), buying the 2010 TL with Tech before end of 2009 seems to be the most sensible choice in term of price/value.
    Now, if I can go pass the front grille and the super-sized body....
  • shigenobuchanshigenobuchan Member Posts: 8
    Exactly. I was originally looking to get a pre-owned certified, which would cost about 4-5k less and would have an interest rate between 3.75-4.99%. Once I calculated the payment, it just made sense for me to buy a new 2010 where I can choose everything I like.

    Bought a 2010 TL/Tech Grigio Metallic/Ebony on New Years Eve day.
    Included splash guards and all weather matts.
    $35,091.00 with rebate applied.
    Continental Acura - Naperville, Illinois.
    With the 1.9% finance rate and the tax break (which will be worth about $675)seemed like a great time to buy.
    Happy New Year!

    Nice deal....pretty color, too.

    I don't see many new gen TLs around. But, I did see one yesterday....crystal black with umber interior. It was a Tech, no AWD, but did have the 18" wheel/tire upgrade. Very sharp.

    I get my '08 Accord serviced at my local Acura dealer since I've bought a previous gen TL from them before. They let me drive one of their TL loaners every time.

    I've driven both the AWD and the regular FWD TLs. They're both about the same as far as acceleration is concerned. I think Acura really tamed the torque steer in the FWD version of this gen. Really like the combination of refined ride and handling of the FWD version, to the point where I don't beliee AWD would be on my radar, especially at added cost.

    If I could find another crystal black with umber TL tech, who knows, I might be quite tempted (which is what I'm sure my local Acura dealer is hoping for by letting me use their loaners).

    Just bought a 2010 TL Tech for $35,751 which includes all-season mats,splash guards, door edgeguards, wheel locks, cargo net and 1.9% financing.

    Dealer also gives us 9 coupons, each for $40 off service, which basically pays for oil changes for the first 45,000 miles.

    This dealer, St Louis Acura, gives you an Acura loaner while your car is serviced and hand-washes and vacuums car on every service trip!

    Great people!
  • gitnbygitnby Member Posts: 10
    Nice !

    We don't have the $1000 dealer rebate in our zone?

    The sales tax thing is a non-event for us in Missouri, since the deduction is less savings than the personal property tax.
    If I take delivery in 2009, I have to pay PP tax of about $850 for 2010.
    I'm waiting until tomorrow to pick it up, so I won't have to pay PP tax until 2011.

    On December 31, 2009 bought white 2010 TL SH-AWD at South Florida dealer for $34,534 + TTL . Hope this info helps prospective buyers. This forum certainly helped me negotiate what I thought to be the best price.
  • slbibleslbible Member Posts: 14
    Congrats!!! ;) You did well and you'll love the car. I just spent the day detailing mine and I'm enjoying it more and more everyday.
  • charliebrown7charliebrown7 Member Posts: 3
    Does your new 2010 SH-AWD also have Tech Package
  • acura7acura7 Member Posts: 9
    No, the SH-AWD does not have the tech package... to me the features of the SH-AWD such as the traction on all four wheeles, the upgraded brakes, the more powerful engine are so much more important that a navegation system or voice commands that I currently seldom or never use on mt 2007 TL Type S...

    Bought my 2009 TL FWD Tech on Dec. 12. Options: Pin stripe, mud guards,3M Clear Bra, Wh Locks, Pnt Spl Gds, win FL Mats.... Exec Demo w/5K. Traded 05 Avalon..Pd about 34,500, 21500 w/ trade. Thought it was a decent deal....now not sure, but car was just what I was looking for and could afford...What do some of you guys think. Also got an additional 9K/9Months on warranty. CB
  • luisja2000luisja2000 Member Posts: 14
    I ended paying $38000 with wheel locks at Pohanca Acura, the experience went pretty smooth, Omar was extremely nice and helpful. I would highly recommend to shop around for the best price, I am from Denver and the dealers in my area did not want to come down in price, the cheapest I found was $40.900 Going this way I saved almost $3000 and I did not have to deal with hours at the dealer because everything was done over the phone.

    Hello everyone - I'm new to the forum. I'm in the following situation and I'm looking for advice:

    - My wife and I have 2 cars and both leases are up in the next 2 months. I don't want to lease anymore, so we're getting an old car (98 Sentra) that will get us around the neighborhood and another used car that will be more reliable (possibly an Acura).

    - I'm currently looking at a 2000 Acura TL with 120k miles for $4200 being sold by a private seller. I haven't checked the car out yet, but I have had conversations with the owner and I have good reason to believe the car was well taken care of. I asked the owner about the transmission due to the issues I've heard about. She says she's had the car for 6 years and has not had any problems (any way I can verify that?). She also had a routine transmisison flush done at the end of 2007.

    I have never owned an Acura, but I'm pretty loyal to Honda and my sister is a loyal Acura owner. My gut tells me that the car will be reliable and that I'll be able to get a few years out of it. I've been told not to buy an older European car as repairs will be costly.

    What are your thoughts on this? Do you think it's a good deal? Assuming my mechanic says it's in good shape, do you think I'll be able to get it close to 200k miles?

    Thanks! Any thoughts are appreciated.

  • slbibleslbible Member Posts: 14
    I have owned 5 hondas and now an Acura. The two earlier models had well over 200K before I sold them privately. The three I currenly have are all under 100K but I do expect to get the same type of mileage before even thinking about selling them.
    I would check the service history and ensure that the maintenance was kept up. For example timing belt changed, transmission serviced regularly with Honda / Acura ATF, oil changed regularly, antifreeze changed with Honda / Acura antifreeze just to name a few. If you didn't already know Hondas are very sensitive toward their fluids for the AT, power steering, and antifreeze. Just my thoughts...Good luck!!!

    By the way, you might try asking this questions in the real world forum here:

    Seems like Acura pulled off 1.9/2.9% APR & 1K cashback for Jan...Can anyone confirm? Ready to make purchase and this happend :)
  • jokerjoker Member Posts: 9
    Those incentives expired January 4th.
    Not sure how much leeway the dealer has on that.
    Maybe if you go in today, ready to buy, they can find a way.
    If not probably best to wait for the next round of incentives.
  • kyfdxkyfdx Moderator Posts: 237,046
    It usually takes a few days for the new incentives to get posted...

  • tobe_cx7tobe_cx7 Member Posts: 26
    OK- Found incentives for JAN
    1.9% upto 36mo
    2.9% upto 60mo
    2000$ dealer cash- For TL TECH model only. It could be regional too (I checked for NE region). Seems good deal to me...Now if I can find mayan bronze color in this region then I'm all up for buying this machine :shades:

    p.s: dealer cash & APR "can" be combined
  • kevdkevd Member Posts: 19
    My question is, is the "TL Tech" incentive for $2K good on the AWD TL Tech? Probably wishful thinking........
  • billyperks2billyperks2 Member Posts: 378
    I am pretty sure it applies to the AWD-I got the 2K last August on my Tech AWD.
    It does not matter if its AWD or FWD, as long as the Tech package is included.
  • Salmon1949Salmon1949 Member Posts: 1
    I am now seriously looking at a Base TL with the Tech package. The TMV price is listed as $35,850 and there is also $2000 cash to the dealer. Can I expect the cost of my car to be $35,850 less some part of the cash to dealer?
  • graphicguygraphicguy Member Posts: 13,665
    Edmund's TMV already takes into account rebates. However, that doesn't stop you from trying to negotiate for the dealer's incentives.

  • slbibleslbible Member Posts: 14
    If I were buying today I would be looking at around $34.5K to $35K for this model. I paid $35.7K last month with only a $1K factory to dealer cash. Others are even lower than that during this same time period but the TL's are becoming more popular as time goes on especially the SHAWD w/tech. Either way you look at it it's an exceptional deal for an outstanding car. Just my thoughts. Good luck!!!
  • tobe_cx7tobe_cx7 Member Posts: 26
    I'm getting mixed review from various sources about TL-AWD on snow.....couple owner I spoke to personally said that awd feature is zero to none in snow...it skids as a fwd does....no grip whatsoever..would it be because of tire or tl AWD feature is not good enough? Any insight from owners in north east or mid west folks (who drives in snow)?

    I live in NW NJ. We have had no mishaps or slippage of any kind so far.
  • billyperks2billyperks2 Member Posts: 378
    Any AWD drive car is going to slip on ice, so far my TL AWD has not let me down- not to say it cannot slip on ice.The car is a plow in the snow, took it to my GYM'S parking lot and played around (doing donuts and flooring it from a standstill) the car holds its footing easily.
  • tobe_cx7tobe_cx7 Member Posts: 26
    thks -
    I bought one tonight, CBP w/Umber 2010 AWD TECH. I'll post deal details tomorrow once I close the deal.
  • mamin1mamin1 Member Posts: 2
    Can someone give me their opion on this off in AL? I am trying to make sure that I am covering all bases. Do I need the Protection Package?

    2010 TL w/Tech
    39645.00 MSRP
    399.00 Protection Package
    149.00 Xzlion Paint Protection
    40193.00 Total
    (4336) Discount
    35856.15 Price
    195.00 Doc Fee
    1351.92 Tax
    16.50 Title Fee

    37419.56 Total
  • ChasboyChasboy Member Posts: 186
    Mamin, those protection packages are BS. They are just expensive paint jobs. Get some Zaino wax and do a better job yourself.
    Chas :)
  • mamin1mamin1 Member Posts: 2
    Thanks. Got a reply from the salesman. I already replied no thanks.

    The paint protection comes with a 1 year warranty that can be extended for up to 5 years. The protection package included's color matching splash guards, wheel locks, and the trunk tray.
  • luisja2000luisja2000 Member Posts: 14
    Don't put any extra, I bought my TL a month ago and I bought at dealerfit.com, the splash guards, the side moldings and the winter floor mats at half price and I installed everything myself. All the parts are original and came from Honda. I saved more than $500 between parts and installation.
  • jvettejvette Member Posts: 70
    Lets take a look at the real numbers on this TL

    2010 TL with/Tech

    MSRP 39,645.00
    Factory Invoice 36,503.00
    Holdback/CSI 1,165.00
    Dealer Incentive 2,000.00

    Real Dealer cost 33,338.00 I removed the worthless packages.

    total 33,338.00
    doc fee 195.00
    tax 1351.92
    title 16.50

    Total without pkgs 34,901.42

    Dealer is making $2518.14 on your deal. The holdback is their money and in most cases they will not give you any of this but you are adding another $500 of pure profit to this deal with the packages. If this was my deal my first offer would be $36,100.00 out the door including tax, lic and doc fee without any packages. If you just must have the worthless packages than my offer would be $36,300.00 out the door with the packages included. The most I would pay for this car is $36,400 out the door without the packages.

    I always feel you are better off taking everything out of the deal except the purchase of the car and buy everything else after the deal is made on the car. It's funny how much an Acura dealer will try to sell you when you sign the papers.
  • gitnbygitnby Member Posts: 10
    I got mine on January 2 for $35,950 which includes the prep fee of $199.

    Here's what I got:

    1.9% for 60 months

    2010 TL w/ Tech
    color-matched splash guards, trunk tray, door edge guards, cargo net, all-season mats and wheel locks.

    I may have been able to get it a bit lower, but I was worn out from negotiating!
    Anyway, I'm happy with the deal!

    I added the paint /interior protection package my dealer offers for $299 (they wanted $499)
    It includes a 5 year deal where they will re-apply sealant and interior application once a year.

    That's $60 per application, and obviously they vacuum and wash the car each time.
    When you roll that into the financing deal, it's not a bad deal.

    Not exactly a detail job, but who else would do all that for $60 on a cold day in January, which is when I plan on having it done every year.
  • billyperks2billyperks2 Member Posts: 378
    How is the cargo net working out for you- do you have to cut holes in the Trunk Tray to anchor the net? I remember when Acura gave those nets away with the TL but now its an accessory item you have to pay for- how much cheaper can they get on 40K+ car?
  • tobe_cx7tobe_cx7 Member Posts: 26
    CBP 2010 SH-AWD TECH for 37,400$+TTL
  • jackf1jackf1 Member Posts: 1
    I started looking for a new car today. Owned a 2004 TL which I really liked . Then went to a Infiniti M35. thinking of going back to the TL. They now have AWD. any strong opinions out there regarding aWD vs FWD for the TL? Looks like the list price difference is approx $3,500.
  • queens207tlqueens207tl Member Posts: 35
    Tobe_cx7. Thats a great price. What dealership were you able to get that deal from? I'm looking for the same vehicle and getting quotes from dealerships in NJ.

    Thanks
  • tobe_cx7tobe_cx7 Member Posts: 26
    it's from open road acura @ wayne, NJ. I just got delivery of my vehicle...good dealers and nice buying experience, msg me if you need referral. I spoke to few dealers but no one come near this price..only pohanka acura in VA, I recomend them too if DC/VA is near to anyone.
  • graphicguygraphicguy Member Posts: 13,665
    tobe...very nice price on the exact one I'm looking at. Did you have a trade? What were their fees?

  • tobe_cx7tobe_cx7 Member Posts: 26
    No trade in- doc fee 398$ and TTL. & btw..I got 3 accessories included too (wheel locks/all weather mats/mud flaps)
  • billyperks2billyperks2 Member Posts: 378
    I paid roughly the same for a 2009 AWD TECH last August but when I asked my sales person for the same accessories you got, he said he would be in the red on this sale. I simply went on line and got them.
  • mfman67mfman67 Member Posts: 10
    That's a little high for a doc fee but otherwise a great deal. Could it be because of new new plates?
  • jodermejoderme Member Posts: 2
    Interesting that you got $350+ of the dealer holdback if not more than that even after dealer cash promotion. The dealer must be desperate to get the cars off of the lot.
  • tobe_cx7tobe_cx7 Member Posts: 26
    maybe..although the car I bought was not even in their lot, they had to get it from other dealer :).
  • m6userm6user Member Posts: 3,181
    It may be because they aren't selling well. I don't know the sales numbers but I follow this thread and the G37 thread and the G37 thread has about 10 posts a day and this one gets only a couple if that. Seems the interest in the G37 is much greater just based on the Edmunds price payed threads. Hardly scientific but interesting.
  • kel2010kel2010 Member Posts: 4
    Did your AWD Tech price of $37,400 include the destination charge?
  • graphicguygraphicguy Member Posts: 13,665
    I think all of these car manufacturers are feeling the pinch. None of the lux brands really could participate in the C4C program. Acura actually sold all of their '09 TLs. Infiniti still has a boatload of '09s left with '10s arriving daily.

    Even BMW is pretty loaded up with new '09s still on the lot, as is Mercedes.

    I just think it's the general state of the industry right now. One thing's for certain, you can get some pretty hefty discounts on all of the brands I mentioned, right now. They're all slow.
