I don't mind driving to NJ to save $1.5k, and I think the round trip should take no more 3 hours, which works out to savings of $500 per hour, which is quite acceptable.
Radley Acura in VA.
Did this price include destination fees? Any secret to getting this quote? Did you go through their internet department? Any details appreciated.
Which local dealers did you work with prior to selecting an RL from Radley?
Which Radley did you use...they have a few dealerships.
did the 40,500 include any dealer accesories
did this incude the pro package
Thanks in advance for your help!
OR. If you purchased from another dealer, how did the incentive get brought up?
Thanks in advance as I formulate my strategy for getting a great deal on a 2006 RL
2.9% APR over three years is a hard deal to beat and it is currently going to end at the end of the month. Besides that, with the incredible rebates on the '06 model, sales are pretty good.
For those who are thinking about buying one, get on with it before they are gone!
I should add that I was looking at a few other vehicles - GS300,Infiniti M35x and BMW 540. The argument can be made that those other vehicles are better in certain comparisons with the RL, but despite your favorite of the bunch, hands down, IMHO, you just cannot get the value you get from the RL.
On a similar note, shopping for the Lexus was interesting in there were few people looking at cars. I asked the salesperson why so few people (at one of the larger sales volume Lexus dealers in the west). Answer (which was obvious) was only knuckleheads like me and my g/f would go out in 100 degrees + heat (and high humidity) looking at cars!
Which leads to me saying that if a large Lexus dealer has few people in their showroom on a Sunday afternoon (due to the hot weather), sales in all dealerships throughout SoCal should be down for July. Here we've had record hot temperatures most of this month as has much of the nation. Deals on Acuras and other cars I think will be very sweet in the next couple months due in part to the hot weather.
I started to myself but I like it even more now that I own one.
$41,325 included destination, splash guards, wheel locks, trunk tray, all season mats
$185 processing, title, tags
I also added a few interior and exterior accessories
Wood Select Knob
Wood-Look and Leather Steering Wheels
Deck Lid Spoiler
Back-Up Sensor
Total for accessories $1966 (parts + installation)
Although Acura builds a great automobile, Acura lacks important design features to help set 'em apart from other high end makes. Acura is supposed to be the Luxury division of Honda but I'm not convinced. Look at Infiniti's designs throughout the model lineup and you'll clearly see the vast difference in future design clues. The Acura TL has a flat back off the trunkline. Is it a Scion or or an Acura?
I would really consider the RL in the near future, but it doesn't make sense in the dollar and cents catagory. No real bang for the buck. Just my two SENSE/CENTS.
With that said, as an RL owner I am in the process of cutting my losses, selling the car and looking at either leasing the upcoming Lexus GS350 or an M35. The RL has been virtually trouble free and a pleasure to drive. But a car is not an investment. Of the competition, short and long term dollars are better spent elsewhere.
On a side note, unless you will own the car 10+ years, in this day of hi-tech gadgetry and disposal components, I'm swaying that its better to lease then own. Here in L.A., the market is drying up for used cars sold by private parties in the $4,000 - $15,000 price range. People are either leasing cars or buying from a dealer that offers a 30 day warranty. I don't want to expand further as this may not be the right forum for this discussion. But my eyes have opened wider realizing that a car is not an investment and leasing is becoming more attractive.
Having said all that, the RL is certainly not overpriced at the market prices they're going for right now. Low $40's for the features you're getting is a good value to me. And it's that value that keeps the RL on my list. I'm curious to see if August incentives increase at all. $3k is quite an incentive - maybe another $500-$1k before year-end?
And, FWIW, I'm pretty sure a M35x with nav can be had for perhaps $5k more than the RL - not chump change, but not the $10k previously mentioned.

Great price on an RL in the metro west area.
I offered to buy a new RL from Herb Connolly's internet sales manager for the same price today.
This was their response:
"Regarding the deal in question the customer did infact pay $40,700 plus fees, but they did not include the fact that they had a trade in. The vehicle they traded in was something we saw good value in it for resale, so that is how they were able to get such an amazing deal."
I interpret their response as "No we cannot sell you a 2006 RL for that price".
Any additional info. regarding your purchase would be helpful.

If they honor that price, I would not harp too much if they added $100-$300 dollars in their dealer fees, even though the prep of the vehicle is also listed within the MSRP.
Do the math yourself - include the quoted price, TTL and no more than $300 in fees. I would walk if they come up with one penny beyond that.
While I did not consider this when I first started posting, and as I saw a recent comment speak to trade-ins which the dealer may have made his money on you from the transaction, I did not trade-in any vehicle when I purchased.
In the interest of full disclosure for those who are weighing our comments, I think this is valuable information to consider when making your vehicle purchase.
The $41k pricing sounds very good, that certainly has my attention. But don't forget that even though it's new, it's already 1 yr old on the market since the 2007's are being released by manufacturers already. So the price reflects a 1yr old RL but you get a new one.
I thought it was an insanely good deal. If you go to Pohanka, start off at $40K as your bottom line price and then you can negotiate up to $40,800. I made one concession at $40,500 and said it was my final offer but then they came back with that price but snuck in the $615 destination charge and I said no way. $40,800 was the compromise. So plan to have your salesmen go back and forth with the sales manager, but if you're patient, you can get the car at a great price.
I didn't buy any accessories as they are much cheaper online.
I've seen the comments on the Infiniti M35 and BMW 5 series and GS350 AWD and if you price out similarly equipped cars, you're looking at $52K+. Are these cars worth 20% more? No Way...
Great car, awesome combination of performance, luxury and technology.
I had the dealer that, I leased my last 2 RL's from, quote me a 45k+ price on an 06 last week (no trade).
Is anyone getting deals like this (without a trade)in the New England area? If so can you post the details (dealer + financial info. etc).
Anyone know how to figure out if the dealer incentive will be extended or modified in August?
I have an 04 RL lease car that must be returned in less than a month.
thanks
I need some help. It seems like people have been negotiating a great purchase price of around $40500 for Acura RL without Technology package.
I was interested in the cost of the A-Spec package. I think it makes the car look sharper and should improve handling/sportiness?
1.What is the invoice/best price for the full A-Spec add on?
2.Can anyone comment on how it effects the cars driving characterstics?
Thank you !!!
We purchased yesterday, Sunday July 31 from Escondido Acura (San Diego). The price was $46,169 + doc fee of $29 for the RL with tech package, plus a few extras like wheel locks, trunk tray, etc. I might have been able to get a slightly better price but we ended up with the nice and speedy purchase at a dealer with a very good service department.
I was surprised we could finance the entire purchase, including sales tax, at the 2.9% rate.
How did you do it? Over the phone, internet, or just walked-in? I've been looking to get a RL in DC area and received a quote of $42K from Tischer....
