Let us know how things turn out. What is the dealership your working with and what color combo you took delivery on.
Thanks.
New findings:
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
Revisions to the HP/torque based on new SAE standards (down from 270/238 to 258/233)
Increased powertrain warranty (6yr/70mi); bumper to bumper remains 4/50.
No mention of a "Revised engine management system and steering angle sensor logic to reduce torque steer" that was mentioned on the Temple of VTEC website, though.
Also, there are some color changes:
Royal Blue Pearl replaces Abyss Blue Pearl
Alabaster Silver Metallic replaces Satin Silver Metallic
Deep Green Pearl is discontinued
AND...the Parchment interior (that I liked the best) is available on all colors except silver (including the blue that I like best but didn't have Parchment available for '05).
I asked the salesman what he knew about the tires for the car and pricing information and he said he didn't know yet.
I was going to get a '05 Blue/Quartz w/Navi but was getting quotes of 33500+TTL from TX/LA dealers after 1 email round. I hate to wait but I like the Blue/Parchment combo enough that I think I may want to do that and get the '06 instead.
Is this crazy? Am I gonna get soaked possibly having to pay closer to MSRP? Will it be worth it 5-6 years down the road?
Achenator, have you gotten a price out of Baton Rouge? Started any negotiations? I went in and got the brochure and didn't get a price or haggle that out yet.
They told me that they "take care of THEIR customers first" if I purchased elsewhere and ever had a car in for work there. As such I might not be given a loaner which is their policy if they were running low or had to choose! I can't say I liked that veiled threat but I had just mentioned that I heard they were known for high prices and that I wouldn't mind a few hundred over what others are offering but would be willing to go elsewhere for 1000-1500 in savings.
It's on manual transmissions.
I've read elsewhere that it will electronically reduce(?!!) output if needed in first or second gear. No matter for me, I'm looking at AT.
I went back to them one time and they were asking me if I was waiting for the wheel locks so I think you can haggle that it be included..:)
You can definitely get a better price on the 05 TL w/nav in the DFW area. The 33.5K beginning is quite high, surprisingly so... I would bounce some more emails back and forth to the dealerships aiming at making the purchase on the 30th of this month. I would be very surprised if you couldn't get one for 32.5 or less. That being said, you seem to have some specific desires at to color and interior. Your ability to find this combo is unlikely at this time for the 05's.
As has been discussed somewhere on Edmunds, if you are planning on keeping the car for 6, 7, or more years, getting the 06 vs. the 05 would be unlikely to make a big difference in the long run. So get what you want, 1st, and at a good price, second.
Good luck!
If anyone who has a 2005 TL, can let me know if that model year continued with the door mirrors with integrated directional mirrors. Thanks.

I think you may be referring to a TSX with lights integrated in door mirrors? The TL doesn't have them. Anyone with a '04 or '05 can correct me if I'm wrong.
According to their websites, Walker has 16 TLs and BR has 46 in stock.
Price: $32,599
Proc Charge: $99
Wheel locks: $30
Tax: $1,636
Title & Reg: $171
Can I expect them to go lower?
Thanks,
Bud
Has anyone compared the lease pricing from an internet fleet leasing company that delivers to your door vs a dealer? I Google this and it brought up several car leasing companies. I was wondering if anyone has used any of these?
My dealer has already called me and asked me to come in and pick out another TL. I asked them since my 2002 TL type S is within a few hundred bucks MSRP of the new 06 TL non navi as well as the almost same invoice if I could get the same deal.
They told me to come and and we will see. My current payment is $400 total.

I'm in Baton Rouge. Houston is 275 miles away; Dallas is over 400!
At some point, I'll have to pay the dealer here (extra ) OR transportation/gas/... to get it there :confuse: . Though a family trip to Houston may be a nice thing to do "while we are there."
It gets more complicated as I'm trying to do an in and out with my current car I'll no longer need that I promised to my brother in law who will be coming from out of state to pick it up.
liferules... I tried to find the discussions you mentioned but had no luck. Can you explain it in simple terms ('05 vs '06)? Or direct me?
My rationalizing (tell me if I'm on or off the mark here since you've read discussions along these lines) says that the '06 will cost closer to MSRP (say $2000 more than if I got the '05).
I'll get for that ?$2000 difference: TPMS=??$200 AND more when I sell/trade in about 5 years (what I usually run with cars) =??$1000-1400. BUT the color combo I want (Blue/Parchment '06 vs. Blue/Quartz '05) IS worth something. I suppose the extra powertrain warranty for '06 models is worth something too?
That and my wife will be happier because I'm enjoying new wheels :shades: instead of deliberating and spending more time on the 'net and in front of the 'puter than I should!
In your case, you really are pumped about the color/interior combo you can only get in the 06 and are planning on keeping the car many years, so I think the decision is made...
Best wishes, and let me know when you get the car! :shades:
Just been quoted $32,392.50 out the door bu Acura of Orange Park. Broken down as:
$29,693.50 TL
$499 documentation fee
$25 temporary tag
$49 electronic filling fee
$1.50 battery fee (FL law)
$5 waste tire fee (FL law)
$2 lemon law fee (FL law)
$2,117.50 sales tax
I think this is a pretty good deal and I'm going to take them up on this this week.
'21 Dark Blue/Black Audi A7 PHEV (mine); '22 White/Beige BMW X3 (hers); '20 Estoril Blue/Oyster BMW M240xi 'Vert (Ours, read: hers in 'vert weather; mine during Nor'easters...)
Please let us know if and when you pul the trigger on your new TL deal...
I have bought from Acura of Orange Park before and they seem to be a straight shooter when it comes to their deals...the price they are giving you on this TL is outstanding...assuming the numbers are the same once you go to actually buy it.
What color combo are you looking at buying?
Thanks
You have nothing to loose. Try it
Still working on it :P

Do I get the gold stars?
Yeah I guessed it was a pretty good deal especially when my local Acura dealrer (Memphis) could (or would) not even get close. Since Jacksonville is ~700 miles away we will probably get FedEx to ship it here ($595).
We are debating between the blue or anthracite with the quartz interior. I have yet to see a blue 2005 in the flesh. Is it the same as a 2004 or does anyone have a good picture I can look at?
Thanks,
Phil
Anyone have any 2005 tl blue pics I can look at? I am pretty certain we will go for anthracite, but would love to see the Abyss blue.
Phil
The information is correct. The destination charge was recently increased from $570 to $615. But if the car you purchased had this increased destination, you should be able to see it on the sticker showing MSRP, list of features, etc.
Swing by your local dealer, check out his lot for TLs/color combos.
'21 Dark Blue/Black Audi A7 PHEV (mine); '22 White/Beige BMW X3 (hers); '20 Estoril Blue/Oyster BMW M240xi 'Vert (Ours, read: hers in 'vert weather; mine during Nor'easters...)
I am new this and i am just getting ready to get my TL by this weekend. So far the best quote I have is from Accura of Boston. 32450 + $86 Registration and plate and $1622 sales tax. So $34158 is the OTD. I guess this is a good price for a 05 TL WITH NAV. Wht do you guys think.
Ritesh
32450 is a good price for a 2005 TL with nav - but if the 2006 TLs are available on Sept 22, you should be able to negotitate a better deal than this.
1) New 05 Non Nav at $500 over invoice or 31,700
or
2) Used 04 Non Nav. 34K, currently down to 28,700 but with an extended warranty: 7yr 100K bumper to bumper. Car is a little over 1 yr old and is tight. No sqeaks or rattles that I read about.
Im in the middle. Can get a better finace rate on USED, due to it being certified (4.5% vs 5.5%). With price and interest rate difference, buying used will save about 10 grand over 5 years. But Im having a hard time shelling out that much for a high milage vehicle.
What to do?
Thanks fellas
I think you should re-check the math.. Even at 1% less on the interest rate, and a $3K difference in purchase price, the total difference is nowhere near $10K... When you add back in the higher resale of a model that is one year newer and has 34K less miles, I think the difference will be negligible..

I didnt factor in resale because Im the kind of person who drives things into the dirt. Ive had my current 94 accord for nearly 8yrs and only cause my wife has been begging me to get rid of it, am I making this move. (Although I love the TL) I figure by the time Im ready for another car, its going to be 2012 and the TL, which ever one i buy, will have well over 100K. The difference in resale will probably be little.
Although I didnt factor in was the price of the warranty and I should do that.
I was going to get the Abyss Blue and liked it on the lot until deciding to go '06 to get parchment interior. Now it'll be Royal Blue Pearl. I've never owned a blue. The dark color and dirt of course would be something to consider.
My wife didn't like the Anthracite; it would probably be my second choice even though there are a lot on the road. Resale with Anthracite should be better/more popular.
It's so personal and subjective; get what you like best. Sorry, no pics from me either.
Good resale on TLs... I think the difference will still be a few thousand dollars for a car with 34K less miles... Say, 126K vs. 160K and one model year newer...
I agree with your first post.... 34K miles isn't like buying a demo... That is three years driving for some people...

that is a deal. I see no point for anyone waiting for a 06 with a deal like this. So much car for such a good price. I paid 30,990 or so back in May and was happy. I did add some junk but 31k was a great price back then.
Was this on the west coast where I alway see excellent Honda and Acura deals?
I bought my '05 Non-Nav TL from A of B back in December. They also charged a $197 "Doc Fee" which includes lifetime "free" state inspections. Unless that's worked into the price you were quoted, be aware of this charge...
'21 Dark Blue/Black Audi A7 PHEV (mine); '22 White/Beige BMW X3 (hers); '20 Estoril Blue/Oyster BMW M240xi 'Vert (Ours, read: hers in 'vert weather; mine during Nor'easters...)
Enjoy the new car m8t, but double check that they have fixed the paint issue they had with 2003 models. Bird poop literally ate through my blue 03 tl, it was horrible..the stain becomes very dull as if someone spilled acids on it. Then again, these are NY birds, so you can imagine what they eat ....
i am simply against the blue since every time i wash it, the next day you can see dirt on it. When i had silver before, more than a week passed by and still it looked clean. But either way, as long as it's garaged, you'll be fine...
Phil
I have never heard of FEDEX shipping a car...how do you go about arranging that?
What color combo and price did you get from Acura of Orange Park?
Thanks
