There is a listing of what they have in their fleet.
Regarding the Prices,
The Houston dealers gave me internet prices of 28500+TT for TL-S and one of them has come down to 27,800 +TT.
I bet it will be a long time before you will get the opportunity to buy a TL for $2000 under invoice. Buying a new '04 TL at MSRP, you will take a major depreciation hit as soon as the dealers start to offer discounts on the car. Do you think you will get $30K for a used '04 TL when you will be able to buy a new one for about $1K more? Over time, I doubt that the $6K spread between an '03 TL-S and a '04 TL will get any greater, and will probably get closer together. I don't see a three year old '04 TL being any more than $6K more than a four year old '03 TL-S.
My dealer offers every other oil change for free, but I think he mentioned something about having to keep up with the scheduled service. So basically if I pay $300 to have my tires rotated and air filter replaced, they throw in a $25 oil change.
So why did I buy the system?
1. My wife drives the car, is not from DC(where we live) and has never grasped the North-South directional thing. She is not afraid to go to different places, but before the nav, I could count on her calling my cell phone to give her directions somewhere. After the nav, she has no problems, and I donot get any phone calls. As a matter of fact, when she purchasedher MDX in August, she insisited that it had the nav in it.
2. Variety. If you are not sure of the address of a place, you can enter the phone number and in most cases it will show you the place, and address, and calculate your route.
We were in virginia shopping one evening and wanted to go to Wendy's to eat. I was familiar with the area, but I did not know where the closest wendy's was. I just typed Wendy's into the nav, and it listed all the Wendy's in the area starting with the one closest to my current location.
3. recalculation. Written directions are fine, but what happens when you miss your turn? With the nav, if you miss a turn, it will automatically recalculate your trip, and tell you how to get back on course.
You will probably read several more opinions on this subject, some will say it is worth it, others will say it is not. some will say that maps are cheaper. it comes down to a personal decision. I figured that the nav would cost me an extra $35 per month, and I had no problems with that. Before you decide, see if you can find someone in your area with one who can properly demonstrate it for you(ask on this board, or go to your Acura dealer and ask someone who has a nav who is getting his or her car serviced if they would show you). Make sure that you are able to get a proper demonstration before you purchase. I have seen too many posts where people have said that they did not purchase it, and now wish that they had. You cannot add it later. good luck.
Thanks!
What do we know about the 2004 trannys?
Cap Cost: zero (no money down)
Security deposit: $575
Aquisition fee: $500
Residual: $19,200
Term: 48 months
I didn't get the money factor, basically, the payment was $23 higher than my goal of $450 per month & the car was in my color choice & the TL was going to be available before 10/31 so I signed the deal. Maybe I could have negotiated a better price or waited until early 2004 for some discounts, the dealer even mentioned that the TL residual values were a bit softer than the Acura Truck was when it first can out. I did price a Lexus GS300 w/nav, which was going to be $535 per month and a Volvo S80 AWD w/nav which was going to be "around" $550 per month and a Jaguar X-Type w/nav was quoted as being in "the high 500's".... so with that knowledge, the TL had the lowest lease price yet had the most features/performance & the best navigation system, a feature I find really helpful. I have friends who can't believe I paid MSRP but I was just focused on the monthly payment. FYI, the 42 month lease was approx $30 per month more. What are the details of your lease quote? **Also, I am picking up the car today!!!**
Unfortunately my wife doesn't like the SMELL of the TL interior so we may have to shift our attention back to an Audi A4!
List price starts at 33,150 for a fully loaded TL, add 2000 for navigation.
You can also lease a TL for 449+tax for 42 months with only 1099 total due. Add 50 to the payment for the navigation.
I can also look at trades and run any other numbers you would like me to. Please let me know how you wish to proceed.
My impression from reading this board and TMV on this site was that 04 TLs are selling at MSRP.
Has anyone else experienced this as well?
I haven't seen the Anthracite up close yet. But you never know, I just might change my mind.
New Jersey. They had at least 4-5 cars in stock and were expecting a few more by this month end. According to salesperson, they wanna get rid of them to make the month-end numbers. Not that i fell for it.
I thought 04 TLs will be selling like hot cakes..but i noticed in the dealer's chart that only a handful of several (in stock as well as ones arriving within a month) were sold. This may be a good news for those who are waiting for price to go down a little.
36 months: $515 59% residual
42 months: $464 56% residual
Bank Fee: $550
No down payment
They're charging full MSRP in NJ to purchase the '04 TL. I've spoken to several dealerships.
