dealer is asking 31,000......is that a good price? what is the invoice and how much lower could i go? 29-30? since 2003 is going to be al ittle differernt? im thinking of an IS300 too, but with navi it's going to run in the mid 30s right? please help me out. thanks,

"2003 is going to be a little different" implies it's not out yet... It's been out since March.
That being said, 31k for a 2002 is a rip-off. I paid 30,900 with navi (w/o spoiler, taxes, etc) for my 2003 Type S in March when it came out. Granted I used a car buying service, but still...

I wouldn't get a 2002 for anything more than 28k with navi.

BTW - WTF is up with that? You'd think with the sales numbers for the CL as they are, dealers would be giving them away to improve sales?!

Go to www.kbb.com they will give you the invoice price for the car you are looking at with the options you are looking for. For an 02, you should be paying UNDER invoice for a CL, since the 03's have been out since May!!!!!!! If you are talking about a TL, then you would still pay around invoice, because they are way better selling cars than the CL. Keep us posted!!!!

you should be able to get them down to 29 something maximum for a '02 Navi...

even if invoice says its X amount... its really not... after mfg kickbacks etc the invoice is considerably less.


i paid

yeah that is a good reference point. 29K!!

I doubt you will get better than 4.9% though!!!!!!

I bought mine a year ago and I got 6.75 from my bank.
I thought that was the shiznit back then.

Make sure you get what you want!!!!!
Get the Acura Extended Warranty too!!!
7 years 100K miles!!! Bumper to Bumper!!! WELL WORTH IT!!!
I paid $1200 or $1400 for it with NO DEDUCTIBLE!!!

?????????????????????????????????????????????

darrinb

The acura dealers are bitches, i know the cl's arent selling for shit and the dealers over here want me to pay full price??

Any reccomondations on what i should say to my salesman to try to get him to go lower??

sorty

I paid 30,900 for an Aegean Blue, spoiler and navi in late December, delivery on Dec. 28th, so that can give you some point of view, DEFINITELY should be paying less.

I would go to another dealer!!! Get the lowest price you can from them, and then take that back to your guy. If he can't beat it, then go back to the other dealer!!! I went to 6 or 7 different dealers before I got what I wanted. Shop around. Drive a couple of hours if you have to!!!!

New Guy

I just bought a 2003 CL-S 6 spd, ebony and navi for $31500. Then I added a spoiler for like $500.
Just a point of reference.

Thanks,
Pete

you could probably get a new one for close to 31k

ktgumbo

Hell I'll sell you my CL-P for $29,000!!! hahaha

Red Rider

Are you sure on the 4.9 ? We just got an MDX in the last 3 weeks and they couldn't match our credit union at 6.5 Good luck and make them an offer of 29k and be flexible. My guess is you'll get it for 30k.

go to the dealer and say that you KNOW that it's worth about 29k with the current sales. if they can make a deal, great. if not, don't waste your time, just say "thank you but it looks like we don't have a deal" and walk out. go to the next dealer and find the car you like and say exactly, "i'm willing to pay 29k for this deal, I've researched the price and have several contacts of buyers who have bought it at this price. I know it's a good deal but I'm ready to buy right now and not waste anyone's time. do we have a deal?" they'll dilly dally a bit and give you some shit. ask to speak with the manager directly and if they ever give you any stall tactics, just walk out and 90% chance they'll come chase you down. it's a lot of work but it's sort of fun for me.

RULE #1 - Know the value of the car BEFORE u walk in the dealership. All these guys are right on the 29 - Once u know that, dont let em feed u any shit and STAND UR GROUND.

they'll do ANYthing to make the car and the deal sound enticing...

shaHn78

BTW - i paid about $30,400 for a 2002 fully loaded back in DEC. excluding tax and other anal-fingering add-ons.

So now u should definetly pay atleast a thousand LESS for a "year old" car

haha...the CL family......
