I strongly recommend Mike Nelson at Radley Acura. I've bought 4 Acuras from there.

I second the recommendation from dwest1023 about Radley and Mr. Mohommnad(internet salesman) (I think his card says Mo). He was a pleasure to deal with and we struck a deal in 2 minutes. I'd done my homework. He turned delivery over to Matt Crane and he was also very attentive and anxious to make sure I was happy.

I was going to recommend Rosenthal Acura in Gaithersburg where I got mine but it sounds like Radley is another good choice. Don't they offer Lifetime FREE oil change as well at Radley?
I guess the key thing now is finding the car you like too, i.e tech, non-tech, color combo, etc. I know for a fact that Rosenthal still has some 06's left.
Good luck!

What never takes more than 5 minutes? The credit application takes more than 5 minutes. Please explain.
Also... what have people heard about Chevy Chase Acura? I met some people from there and they seemed OK.

The negotiation is what took 5 min. It did not take long for finacing either, but I have excellent credit, so there was not much work that had to been done. I had no credit app to fill out.Just sign mostly. Radleys is very fast with the paper work if there are no issues. Danny, over in finace is a pleasure to work with. Chevy Chase, is OK. For me, Radley was just a better experience for sales. Even now, when I stop in, I am treated like a new customer.

I have seen Chevy Chase Acura and they are stuffed into a tiny lot. They seem to be very small as dealerships go but I don't know anything about them.
Pohanka Acura, I believe, is the #1 Acura dealer in the country. Any experience with them?

I visted this dealership as well. I walked around and not one saleman ask me if I needed any help. They all seemed uninterested. Not saying they are bad, but this was my experience. Service dept seemed to be very nice though. To be number 1 they must do something right, but I did not see it. The Acura dealer in Annapolis seem to be good as well. NO BS, just straight talk. Had I not dealt with Radley's I might have dealt with them.

Qatar, I just realized who you are. You and I met at Radleys' when you had your car in the shop for the AC. Do you know, it took us 6 trips to Radleys to get the door handle lock to work?

mini meet?
It looks there are a few us here in the DC Metropolitan area. How about scheduling a RL mini-meet? Then we can talk all we want about the dealers in our area ![Smile](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Just a thought...

Thanks all for the advice.
I have tried to contact all of the dealers and see what I get. Rosenthal made the quickest initial contact, and offered the highest price by email.
Radley, would not offer a price over email. I called Mr. Mohammed wasn't there but Mike Kelley was. Seems like very easy to deal with. Said he would match any price and give lifetime free oil and VA inspections.
Pohanka offered an email quote when no one else did, with the lowest price.
Nothing so far from Chevy Chase.
Nothing so far from Tischer.

All of the salespeople at Radley are nice, I believe MR. Mohomned is the top Acura sales guy in the area. Take any price over there and they will match. Ask for freebees too, like floormats and mudguard. especially if all they are doing is match price. Just tell him Mr West sent you, and he will take care of you.

Miami Acura
Have purchased two cars from Miami Acura and have always been treated in a professional manner. Sales process straight forward. I got an a good price without the usual dealership games and non-sense. Service department is also excellent. I give sales and service a 10 out of 10.

Just bought an 06 from Tischer. As of Tuesday, they had two 06's left-- a white base and a silver Tech. Chevy Chase had two non-techs (meteor silver and carbon gray) but I got a better price at Tischer. Radley only had a red left in non-Tech and Rosenthal had none.

Price Paid
$40,700 + TTL (but including freight). I could probably have negotiated a better deal but was headed out of town for the holiday and didn't want to get stuck without a car. (The stock of 2006s is getting really low now). It may not be the best deal around, but I'm happy enough with my new RL.

One more possibility: try Kwame Gachette at Karen Radley Acura in Woodbridge. Straight shooter, low pressure, decent prices -- maybe not the absolutely lowest in the area, but close.

I bought my 2006 RL Non-Tech Package from Radley Acura, Falls Church VA (39.5K + TTL). Get buying experience. Tried to give my business to Pohanka Acura in Chantilly, but they are very aggressive and make you feel like they are doing you a favor by selling you a car. I highly recommend Radley!
I believe they will offer "lifetime" oil changes on all cars until the end of the year. I never have to worry about paying for an oil change for the life of my RL.
Good Luck!
