'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...)
is that a good price? I thought it was fair at the time...but some how I still feel like I got taken. any feed back will be appreciated.
I wanted to get the A-Spec kit too but might get it later if/when I can afford it. Anyway, congrats on the car! Hopefully I'll be driving a new TL soon too!
If it is the OTD price, it is probably ok. If it is the price before TTL and fees, you probably could have gotten a brand new one for this price.
As your purchase is done, I would not worry about it, as worrying will do nothing but spoil your enjoyment. Enjoy the car.
I got mine in 10/05 (could have waited until 12/05 but due to baby being due, wanted to get this done early).
Got new NAVI with tint, mud flaps, all season mats, wheel locks and body side molding for $32,100 before TTL. Waiting might have saved me about $1k but not worth it in this situation, particularly with AHFC 1.9% financing.
A local dealer wants $1725 for this particular spoiler package alone. How does this sound?? I'm in the mid-Atlantic area (fwiw).
ps. Lexus recommends replacing the hi-friction brake pads on the new IS 350 every 20,000 mi.
So is the nav really worth it if I got this portible one? I spent $800 on this though.
But that's just me... its certainly not ESSENTIAL. OTOH, most people on this forum have had regrets over what they could have gotten but chose to NOT get at the time to save small amounts of cash (relative to the car). I've rarely heard someone complain that they wish they had NOT gotten something...
This is normal operating procedure at most dealerships...
You know your brother's credit is good... but, how do they know it?

$33,820 (includes $615 dest, wheel locks, wood shift knob)
403 - Deck lid
112 - all weather floor mats
101 - splash guards
86 - trunk tray
Car plus options is $34522 + TTL and $245 processing fee for an OTD price of $36710.
This seems a bit high. The dealer tells me this combination is rare. Does this sound like a good deal or am I paying a premium for this combination not being readily available? I'd like to get the vehicle down to $34K including the options. Also, can consumers opt to go to the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) directly to pay the TTL on the vehicle. The dealer says the $245 processing fee is used to process the paperwork through the MVA. I live 5 minutes from the MVA. It won't cost me $245 to register the car, pay the taxes and get the license plates.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Dealers of course prefer to sell what they have on hand as they are paying for the space and taxes, but they will order you whichever combo you want if you insist. This should not increase your price at all as it is no extra expense to them. Be sure to send out emails to all the nearby dealerships to get bids and then pick the top 3 or 4 and make contact and work on getting the best price from the dealer you feel most comfortable with.
Good luck.
I think it's a pretty fair deal. A few weeks ago, they did
not want to below 39000. The process was painless.
Now put yourself in the shoe's of my brother. He doesn't buy a car every year. I suspect most of the posters here do not have college degrees, mortagages or a steady source of income. Most people live well above their means. Most people don't realize that American Express has no credit limit and if the dealership wanted to they could put the full amount on his AMEX card.
By the way, the car had Navigation but no Navi disc. They're still looking for it. It also had the protection package but the door edge guards were missing. The edge guards need to be installed.
Credit checks count against your credit score. I realize most people have terrible credit anyway, but to those that don't (me) this is intrusive and must be fully disclosed. Without laws we would have anarachy.
Getting more details....
Thanks.
I smell a whole lot of fish!! :P
First offer from a local dealer (plus Tax,title,license):
$32,900 2005 Acura TL with Navigation System
$33,800 2006 Acura TL with Navigation System
$34,550 with the above accessories on the 2006.(750 which is reasonable)
He said the only difference for the 2006 TL is the addition of the tire pressure monitoring system, blue backlighting for the radio, HVAC display and clock along with a $250 price increase.
I checked with a dealer in NJ that had a great deal (non-navi) for a 2006 on ebay (new, it's still there) and asked them about Navi models. They had all 3 of my color combinations that I would accept. They offered me the car at $34,000 and also threw in mudguards. I think it's a decent deal(?). But an 11 hour drive.
Chicago is only 4 hours so maybe I will check Rizzo and Napleton as mentioned by a couple other forum members.
I was quoted $33,150 at one and $33,550 at the other.
Question is do you think they will even go down a little further? I can't spend anymore then $35K even with TT&L.
Anyway, your price quotes otherwise are quite good for the '06 TL w/nav.
Good luck. I bought from Goodson and was pleased with the experience.

Apparently I should have looked at this site before purchasing since the price I got was over what everyone else is quoting. Oh well, there's always the stupid guy that pays too much, and today he's me.
So, as embarassing as it is to post this after reading all the lower prices, my price, including destination charge, but before tax/title/licensing was: $33,800.
And that's without any extras. I plan to go back to get the iPod connector installed as soon as they get it in stock.
This was from Pauly Acura, north of Chicago.
Anyway, great car, even though I paid a good $500+ over what the rest of you paid.
The short clutch is still giving me a little trouble, but once I get totally acclimated to it I think it really will be convenient to not have to move the left foot very far while shifting. Until then, you'll recognize me on the road by the nose that keeps dipping due to messy shifts
