I like the fact that it is somewhat understated in exterior design. I know that I am driving a $50K car and it feels like it is to me. I traded my 2004 TL for $23K and purchased my new 06 TL for $40K in Florida!
A real Acura lover!

BTW it is black with black interior.
Thanks to All.

Thanks for the timely responses. I've got the dealer down to 39,800 with just one phone call. Found more interesting info out of Manheim auction. The top prices are the actual sale prices at auction for 06 low miles wholesale.
Wholesale Price
Above Average Below $41,300 $40,000 $38,700
Est. Retail
$45,100 $43,700 $42,300
It's interesting. I've seen this with some other cars where the new purchase can be made so well because of incentives and market conditions that the pre owned price is almost the same.
Anyway if I can buy the car for 39,000 I'm in.
Thanks again to all!!

The internet sales manager was very eager and easy to work with. They also took my 04 TL in trade and gave me a surprisingly fair value for it.
thanks folks! I am very happy with the RL! A great car, and at this price, a great value!
I have been trying to get one of the 06 RLs on the current pricing. I had one nailed down here, but the dealer has me sour - at least I think I should be, so I'm looking to see if I'm upset over nothing, or asking for appropriate service. It's a black one with the parchment interior. I originally asked for a red one, which they said they could get, but when I brought my wife in a couple days later, they said they couldn't bring in any from other dealers. I looked at their stock and asked to write up the black one. They then said they could give me a 2.9% loan, which I jumped at. Then the next day, after I signed the deal (though my copy is not signed by anyone at the dealer) they called and said I couldn't have the 2.9% on the car, despite three people reviewing it at the dealer the previous day. I went in later that day and talked with the finance guy and asked them to make good on the deal or re-negotiate the sales price. They wouldn't budge, and didn't even acknowledge the string of missteps building up. I told them I needed time to think about it, and then asked to see the car, since they had prepped it (it was still in shipment plastic when I saw it the previous day). Then I found a dent in the left front fender! They said they would take care of it, but the prep also clearly had left adhesive on the outside surface of the car. I've since called another dealer about an hour or so away, and they're working hard to get my business thus far, and have said they can match price (40993 before accessories) and get the color I want shipped to their dealership (versus what my local dealer said). I'm gonna talk to the local dealer tomorrow sometime. Any advice or thoughts? I hope it all turns out okay - I think the car is great, but a purchase of a luxury sport sedan should feel better, no?
Only they can answer that question. Could have been an honest mistake.
But, stock and inventory at dealer's changes daily. What one dealer can get today, might not be available tomorrow (or even within an hour) of when they originally checked.
Personally, if I'm going to drop $40K+ large on a car, I'd definitely want to get in a color I like.
The question you should ask yourself is whether you're willing to drive that hour to find out if the 2nd dealer can really get you the color you want. Or, are they just trying to get you in the showroom. While any Acura dealer has to service your car, are you going to want to drive an hour for warranty work from the 2nd dealer? Will you mind taking it to the dealer close to home, even though you soured on them?
Just some questions to ask.
Thank you for any help you can give me!
Also I am only getting 3100 for 4x4 xlt 1999 explorer. Can I do better?
Thanks

It appears acura has posted all of the specs/ pics / etc for the 2007 model RL.
RL, $45,780
RL w/ Technology Package, $49,400
RL w/ CMBS & PAX, $53,100
No mention of a "release date."
doc fee 55.00
pa. sales tax 2436.00
registration fee 68.50
What options came with the $40,600 price?
I settled for wheel locks and splash guard ( a little give and take, trunk tray was no big deal for me).
I am thinking the dealer will try to peak the prices for a bit then settle down so we can make a good deal..
I am considering a new 2006 ACURA RL with TECH PACKAGE. Is this a good price: $44,500 (in the Los Angeles area)? I understand there is a 3000 dollar incentive on this car.
Question numero dos: Are there any incentives (like the 3000 dollar incentive) on the 2007 RL's?
:P
Question Numero Tres: Do you know of any lease calculators that have up-to-date AHF lease information (like money factors, residuals, etc...) Thanks!
At the rate RLs are selling, Acura (probably) will not have any large incentives on 2007 until December at the earliest (an eductaed guess).
"They saw you coming" would be an understatement. I think they saw you when you got out of bed that morning. Go get your money back. Don't bother waiting for the '07, either. You'd be crazy to do any business with that dealership again.
I don't know where most New England, NY and NJ Acura dealers are located. Of the ones I found, only a small number show their current inventory. Can you give me some advice for searching for the car?
I was hoping to turn in the older Legend I'm driving as a trade in. This seems impractical to do with a long distance dealer, whom I doubt would commit until seeing the car, but then may not want it or try to undervalue it.
The original dealer left a message that, as per my reqest, they were refunding my deposit to my credit card and sending me a copy of the credit.
I recommend going to Acura's website and looking up the phone numbers for the dealerships you're thinking of doing business with. Call them directly and make them an offer. First, put the car together on Edmunds to get the invoice price. After you've got that, call or email the dealerships and make an offer of no more than $1,000 over invoice.
Happy shopping!
taylOrd, I belong to several internet forums, both providing and seeking help, and in my world, it’s usually considered bad form to respond to a newbie’s first post by ragging on him; we all have to start somewhere. Regardless, I appreciate your help and support (and humor).
Does anyone purchase any of the extended warrantee packages?
Great acceleration
most comfortable
great nav
etc.etc.
celestial silver/ black
If I were buying today my offer would be 39,600.00
Honda giving the dealer 4,000.00, 3,000.00 when I purchased.
Price included winter floor mats, color-matched mud flaps and wheel locks installed.

How much stock did they have left? How long did it take you to negotiate for this deal... email or just coming into the dealership and getting the deal?
thanks
Not sure how much stock left, but I saw a few RL vehicles. You can get inventory information (may not be absolutely up to date) for some dealers at acura.com.
thanks!
They will work with you!
Good Luck!
