I am in the market to purchase a base 2012 Acura TL and would like to hear what folks have paid lately? Any info appreciated
Thanks
We had given an offer of 35 with everything included...is that a good quote?
I currently have a 2010 Acura TSX (i4) with Tech package with 19000 miles on it. Its exactly one year old. My dealership contacted me about a buyback program with 20% over fair market value. I would love some advice on whether the deal seems decent or not.
I bought my car new in 2010 for 28990 (TSX with Tech). It now has 19000 miles on it, and is in good condition.
The dealership is offering me 27030 for my trade in, but pretty close to MSRP on the 2012 Acura TL Base (FWD) I would be buying. I could probably negotiate maybe 750-1000 off the price of the new TL, which would put the price about 35,500 with doc fee. I am in a sales tax free state.
My question is, would I be dumb to trade in my TSX, which I like, for the 2012 TL with the above deal, considering the deal I got on my TSX originally and I would be losing out on the Tech package? This is my commuter car so I don't use the navigation that much. Would I miss the Tech package going from my TSX to TL?
Any advice would be welcomed.
I drive a TL and love it. It is a very different car from the TSX. Before I bought my TL, I sat on the driver's side of a TSX and immdiately decided on a TL. I didn't have to test drive the TSX.
Anyway, the only reason why I would stick with the TSX is the tech package. I guarantee that you'll miss it if you get the base TL.
Just my 2 cents....
When he's done, I told him that I am only interested in the Gap insurance and even if I am interested, I told him I would only pay for half the price he was quoting me (he quoted $750 for Gap insurance!!!).
He wondered and tried to sell Gap at full price and told me all the good reason why I would take it from them. I held my ground. (I knew he can come down on the price of Gap). He finally called somebody, told him of my situation and he went down on the price. I ended up paying $425 for Gap instead of $375.
I know it still a lot for Gap but I could not risk driving the car home without it.
Thanks! :confuse:
I'll see if it gets better in the next gen. I am very happy with everything in 2008 TL.
There is a local Acura dealership (California) with a 2010 TL w/Tech pkg. Car is new, but with ~600 miles on the odometer. Though the car is technically new it is now obviously 2 model years old, so I'm having trouble gauging fair value.
Thoughts on what a fair price for this car would be out the door?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
I see some dealers in Chicago area selling certified 2011s with 4-5k miles for around $33-$34k asking price which I bet you could get for $32k.
I want to trade it in and get either a 2009/10 TL Tech for Purchase or 2012 w/ Tech for Lease.
I am a bit confused on which way to go. I assume I can get around $10K for my car. Few Questions and yes I read this thread.
1. I still dont understand the Money Factor thing. Can someone explain.
2. Is there a way they could low ball me on the trade in value?
3. Is there anyway to get a 2012 w/ tech lease for around $400 to $450/mo. How much should I look to put down? Also what would be the best way to work with the dealer to get it down this low.
Any suggestions would help.

Since our TL has been such a great car, I feel compelled to consider another TL. The other car that grabs our interest is a Hyundai Genesis as that seems today what the TL was back in 2000 (a very competitively priced alternative to the reigning higher end sedans).
With respect to the TL, we first need to get past the semi-bizarre styling that Acura has chosen (definitely for the worse, in my opinion, compared with the early styling). More importantly, I wonder what has happened with pricing. I am pretty sure the sticker of the TL is higher than the Genesis. But are TL prices pretty negotiable these days, especially in southern Cal?
Thanks,
Doug
After 3 years of driving the 09 I have come to appreciate how great a car it is. It got bigger and heavier and took some getting used to. The lease is up and I am considering buying an 2012 TL.
In regards to the Hyundai's - the genesis is a great looking car and people i know that have hyundai's (lower level hyundai's) love them. What I have heard is that after 48-50 months they feel really old as they don't hold up as well.
My 05 TL after 4 years felt and looked great, my 09 after three years looks and feels great. With both cars the only thing I ever did was general maintenance like fluids, brakes and tires.
Both cars are nice but very different. We will likely go with the TL.

$518.22, 60 months
Trade-in: 2007 MDX Sport with 82,000 miles ($21,450, priced at KBB at Good condition, still owes $9,400)
Nothing out of pocket
Also, what sort of additional services usually Acura dealers usually try to sell? I heard about paint protection etc. Are they worth it?
Thanks in advance.
What do you think?
I am planning to wait a month or two if that is the case but not sure if that is the good thing to do. Thanks in advance for any suggestion.
Was that price out the door or the sale price of the car? If out the door, how much before TTL and dealer fee.
Trade-in? If they lowballed you on a trade it changes the deal.
Dealer name? For those that are nearby and looking for a similar deal.
