new car quandry

I have a 2005 TL w Navi, 37k. Its a creampuff, excellent condition .
I am at the point to trade in. If I dont change, I am gonna need the new tires and brakes im thinking. Also warranty is 10k away.


I Had always envied the RL, not that hot about the new 2009 version.
My question is when should go for the deal on a 08. I know the price has come down quite a bit.

A new model year always suppresses the older model. Not to sure if it affects the RL's category as much as the lower end cars

Im in LA/socal area if anyone has done a 08 RL purchase.
Any advice appreciated. If anyone knows a specific dealer let me know

I've been receiving email promotions about the '08 RL for about 3-4 months. This is definitely the time to buy an '08. The '09's will be hitting the showroom floor any day now and THE DEALERS KNOW IT!
I'll meet you at Cerritos Acura in say... 45 minutes?

This may or may not help you. But, just I've been having my car service regularly at Glendale Acura. I really couldn't recommend that place more highly, in terms of serive. They've always done right by me. I'm thinking about a 2009 RL, and will definitely shop there.

I bought my 2004 TL from Glendale Acura when they were Acura of Pasadena. Service was very good. They would not deal to my expectations on a 2006 RL, so I ended up buying from Santa Monica Acura. More aggressive pricing, but watch your back with those SM guys. I'm still not sure what store I will buy from next.
