Had one too, worth it!

My 04AT is my first Acura..... an absolute pleasure....named her Arwen after the Lord of the Rings babe. This buggy is far far superior to my EX-car, an 01 VW 1.8T, an absolute piece of crap (too many defects and problems to even mention!!)

After 5 months with Arwen only a few very minor issues have surfaced: rattle from the top of dash; ceiling panel just behind sun roof has come away from frame and poorly applied tint (from dealer). Overall just minor aesthetic items that I will have corrected on the first service next week.

A Canuck TL'er section is a GREAT idea...

Keep the shiny side up.

Anyone bought in Vancouver area have a recommendation for any particular dealer or salesperson?

And what kind of prices have you guys been getting on the 2004s now that the 05s are just around the corner?

Thank you.

Toronto. WDP 5AT/Navi. 300km so far.

just bought my TL last Saturday, got for 48400 tax included, is that a good deal?

bigbadboss101

Hmm, MSRP is $44,000, tax + $1100. With one tax it's 48100 or so, with two it's 51800 or so. Depending on where you are, you either saved $3400, or nothing at all? Assuming this is the Navi pkg.

qqyy

I got the Navi pkg, and i think the dealer charge me 1424 on registration, freight that kind of thing, and i think it is almost 200 above the dealer's cost

We picked up our 2004 TL in the Oakville area late September. We did a lot of research and paid to get the dealer INVOICE pricing on these cars before even approaching a dealership.

Our best deal came from our local Honda Dealer, (beat out 2 area Acura Dealers)
where we had purchased our 2002 Honda Odyssey EX-L new.

Our new ride is the TL with Navi. package, NBP with the camel interior. Including
the 5 year extended warranty and all taxes minus the Odyssey as a trade in, came to
under $20000.00 for the TL. The Acura Dealers just couldn't match the price.

Knowing the Invoice price gave us the in on whether or not we were being presented with a good deal.

Love the car, but sure wish the break in period was over. She seems to be a bit of a
gas guzzler right now. Just over 600 kms on her.

Anyone in the Oakville area have a good contact for a set of good winter tires for the TL.

I have a set of mounted and balanced snows for the '02 Odyssey (Michelin Arctic Alpins)

that I know just will not fit and have been not been looking forward fondly about having to fork out another $1500 loonies for winter rubber and rims for the TL.

Looks like Canada will get a few of the missing options not avail on the '04 TL's. I see that the base AT TL will be avail in Anthracite and it will also have a White diamond Pearl option with Ebony interior (last year you could only get parchment in WDP for the non-dynamic pkg TL). Looks like you can also get a navi on the dynamic pkg. Any other changes on '05?

Hi, I'm new to the board and I currently own an '02 Acura RSX Premium (Auto) with some modifications. I'm planning on purchasing an '05 TL (Auto) sometime in 2005 and I was wondering if anyone knows the invoice price for the '05 TL (Auto).

Thanks

ed99

I think the 05 Non Navi TL at invoice would be around $37800-$38300!!!! That is what one of the Acura Sales rep told me. Don't know if that info is true or not.

cboy

Thanks Ed99!

Hi Folks, I've been reading this forum for awhile and finally decided to take the TL for a test drive. It's a great ride and now I'm thinking about trading my car in for it. I was wondering if this was a good deal. 6spd no navi with aero package for about $3000 off. It's a 2004 and one of the last 6spd for 2004. I think they are having a hard time selling it due to the aero package. Personally I think it looks great. Helps differentait it from other TLs. Please let me know what you guys think. Should i jump at the this price??

suki

So what are paying for the vehicle?. $3000 off what price?

You probably paid 40?

bigbadboss101

6 speed do not have navi. Dont know much about the Aero package. $41800 is the MSRP for Dynamic package. Add tax and pdi etc on top of that.

RSX.ca

The price he quoted me was 43700+gst+pst. That includes aero package $2900 and winter wheel and tire package $1900 and pdi. The total price of the car before discount is 47700.00 So toatl discount is about 4000 but that includes the winter wheels and tires.

ed99

$3000 off MSRP is a pretty good price to me. Many of us here at the Forum only got around $1000-2000 off MSRP. I would go for it!!!!!!! Especially they are throwing in some add ons such as the A-spec kit which is worth $2600. If you like the car alot and planning on buying one, I don't think you can get that kind of price elsewhere. Maybe but goodluck finding one!!! Let us know what happens. Goodluck dude!!

suki

not a bad deal.

go for it.

Magoomba

Looks like the 05s are in. I just checked Burrard Acura's inventory link.

Has anyone purchased an 05 w/ NAV in BC?
If so, what did you pay?

Thanks.

suki

$43K + taxes for 05 nav

cboy

Congrats on your purchase!! If you mind me asking, how much did you pay and did you get the 6-sp or auto?

Thanks!

ed99

I am curious how much Canadians are paying for their 05 TL's. I know we were able to only get $1500 off msrp for many TL members here!!!

TL_LUVA

Hey Cboy for your answer i bought the 6 spd manual and i got it with a few options for 40K
last july.So what do u think i should buy

TL_LUVA

Hello Ed99 for my 05 tl i payed 40 K but it had a few miles on it (10.000$) but it had all the options I wanted like most of I pay approximatevely 1500(I pay 1300)I f you still have questions dot mind to ask me

TLer

How in the world did they put on 10,000 miles on a '05?

bcbcbc

... from Langley Acura. Paid $1,500 off MSRP.

TL_LUVA

It had 10 miles on it because the guy i bought had pre-ordered and he was always traveling with his family thats why the car was in good condition it had always been on highways he bought in sept04 thats why

jonrey

I'm not sure if this has been posted. Do you guys know where I can get a clear bra installed here in Toronto?

Thanks.

ahgil

Hey i got my car 4000 off msrp

qqyy

TLer

You can contact an authorized Ziebart operator depending on where you are in toronto. These guys use the 3M product. I think the price is in the $250-$300 range.

suki

so then what did you pay?

suki

I paid 42K + taxes for an 05 Navi. Did'nt pay for shipping or other fees and I went through a broker.

Hi guys,

I'm owning a Dynamic 04 TL anthracite and really appreciate it. I live 2 hours drive north of quebec city.

I had the seat memory changed because they could not keep memory for more than 4 days. I have the vibration problem on my winter tires, but I think it can be fixed by a good rebalancing to be done soon.

I had the back subwoofer vibrating quiet a lot lately, but I just had to gently puch the rear tablette down to make the rattle disapear.

Otherwise the car is great.

For summer I have: 18" A Spec rims with Yoko ES 100 235/40ZR18

For winter I have: 17" original rims that came with the car with Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50 215/50R17.

For those who are wondering how muck to pay for the 18" spec A rims, I paid 2000$ at the dealer, including the taxes, and 290$ per Yoko tires plus taxes at the tire shop near where I live.

MOMOTL

How do you guys in Toront manage to get such a great deal on the TL?????

hippo

There are some guys on the west coast getting great deals too:

I guess it just depends on when you buy.

Yay Canada!. .

Anyways, I'm new to the Board, and am in Edmonton, AB. I just bought an 05 TL Dynamic Package with NAVI in White Diamond Pearl. I hopefully pick it up this Saturday, but we will see then I guess .

One quick question for you fellow Canucks.. I need to get some winter tires, so I think I am going to buy a Winter Tire package from Acura.... Which of the following would you recommend? I am leaning towards the Blizzak LM-22's, but would like to get a little more feedback on this before I pick up.

Winter Tire/Wheel Package (17" Alloy and Blizzak WS-50) $1,708.88

Winter Tire/Wheel Package (17" Alloy and Blizzak LM-22) $1,808.88

Winter Tire/Wheel Package (17" Alloy and Michelin Pilot Alpin) $1,808.88

ed99

Congrats on your new TL and you will love this car!!!!!!!!!! By the way, how much did you pay for it or how much where you able to take off from MSRP???

They all seem good snow tires to me!!!! Can't go wrong picking either one!!!!!

tkx

I got $1800 off MSRP. According to others, seems like some ppl have gotten $4000 off MSRP... sounds like I didn't get such a good deal after that, but whatever .
