Can you please scan your contract and post it? My friend thinks everyone is a liar online when i tell them people have gotten their RL for $43k.


I just want to shut him up since hes shopping for one now and all he can get the prices down to is $49k.

 

I don't have any experience with the '06s, but last year there were RLs available as low as $39,988. I purchased mine for $40,300 from South Coast Acura last October. (The deal I pasted below was from Downey Acura in So Cal)

This pricing seemed to be primarily in the California market. Believe elsewhere about the best you could do was around $42K. I know that's what it was in the Denver area at that time.

These are a couple of the threads which discussed pricing back then:


Brand New RL $39.8K ( Multi-page thread 1 2 3 )

Hi, I am from Chicago to and I get mine 05 RL in october for 42 200$

 

I don't really care what your friend thinks of people that bought their acuras for price X. It's infantile to presume anyone would lie about something so trivial and unimportant.

 

I got mine for 66 Canadian with the A-Spec package....you can do the math.

 

I don't think dealers would like people posting contracts on the Internet - if your friend doesn't believe you, they don't believe you.

FWIW, I got a 2005 RL for $42,100 in November.

 

I saw a black RL in the dealer's new car area with a big sale sign of $42,999 today, probably an 05, I didn't check.

 

Stop that, you're making me tempted to step up to the RL again. And I just spent on mods for my TL......

 

We paid right at 46k even *out the door* for an 06 with the wheel, nob, aftermarket warranty,lip spoiler, trunk and mud guards.

 

Would you please tell me where you got this price? I am in Atlanta and am getting 44,500 plus tax, and 400 doc fees as the best price for a "bare bones" 06 RL

thanks

 

Im about to pull the trigger on a 2006 RL for $500 over invoice.

 

I got quotes under 43k on 06 RL from a couple of dealers out in LA area.

 

"Bare bones" ? There's only one model - with the exception of "Technology Package" (overpriced useless crap) and dealer-installed A-SPEC (overpriced bling).

I got my 2005 RL at Ed Voyles for $42,200 in November - so it was one of the last 2005 MY cars they had. They made me feel like I was getting a steal, but reality is that others were able to go even lower ($39,800) in other cities.

Do it.

 

40,800 last September.

I'm not going to put up my contract, but will say I used a quote from Downey Acura that was around 39,500 to pressure my local dealer here in the bay area.

 

I just purchased RL this week for $44,000 plus tax and tags
No extras

 

Wow. The RL is really becoming a steal.

Looks like there will be a lower "base" RL soon:

I just got a so called bottom line of $46,000 on an 06' w/Tech? AFTER READING A FEW POSTINGS, I'M NOT SURE OF MY DEAL. Anyone have any #'s on this car?

 

good price, very good price

 

I paid $49,518 for rl with tech in april 2006
includes back up camera, mud guards, wheel locks
if you subtract about $1000 for options, the quote you're getting is better than what I paid. Good luck!

 

That does seem like a good price. What area are you in? Can you tell me what dealership gave you that quote?

 

Yesterday my brother-in-law leased an RL (purchase price was $42,400) here in SoCal (includes wood steering wheel & tranny). Take into account the $3,000 cash back from Acura to dealers and it's too sweet to pass up. His color of choice was Lakeshore but the wood wheel & knob in a black RL won out. He counted 9 RLs on the lot. The one he leased was built in January.

FWIW, on his behalf I e-mailed four dealers. Three responded with quotes of $42,000, $42,200 (got the car from this dealer) and $43,900. The fourth dealer refused to offer a quote unless he/she knew the color of choice and whether it would be a purchase or lease.

 

I paid 49K for my 2005 in November2004

My neighbor just bought 2006 for 41900

 

2006 RL can be had for invoice less 3k until 5/31/2006

Long Island NY. North Shore Nassau County in particular.

 

Dealer Invoice is 47,293 plus 615 destination= 47,908. Minus 3,000= 44,908. If you are saying there is a 3k rebate, please tell me where you got that info. I was told by my sales guy that they were getting back 1.5k

 

Your sales guy is either lying or misinformed. I don't have a direct link to the 3k rebate, but if I go to carsdirect for southern california, the price is 45.6K for the tech package version. Knock about 700 carsdirect adds the price, and there is your proof.

So is this 3k May incentive only for leases? That's what my dealership is telling me.

I'm more interested in buying, not leasing. So what prices are people seeing for non-lease deals?

 

From my experience (buying 2 new cars and leasing 2 new cars in the past 10 years), there is no difference (today) in buying versus leasing (from a dealer pricing perspective).

I thought there was when I leased my 2004 Acura TL, but came to learn that the only real advantage is that manufacturers and dealers agree that leasing keeps customers coming back and creates a revenue stream (initial lease then pre-owned cars in great condition).

But purely from a pricing perspective, you have to agree on purchase price regardless of whether you buy or lease it. So the $3000 should apply either way.

 

With the intention of leasing a vehicle, you first negotiate the selling price. Never tell the dealer your intentions (buying or leasing) until you have agreed on the selling price. With the $3,000 incentive from the manufacturer to the dealer, the money is there no matter how the dealer sells the car. A leased car is considered a sale to a dealer.

 

I could not touch an 05 in the metro NY suburb area for anywhere near 42.5K back in Oct/Nov of 2005!
Best I could do with wood wheel, knob & flaps was $46,700, (give or take $200) from 3 different dealers!
I was shooting for 44.5k, being that folks on this board were getting them for 43- 44k at that time. I knew the CA 40k price was unreasonable on the East, but I was frustrated I was not able to break 46k!
I gave up & bought "the other" AWD Japanese alternative!

 

Yes Tully,
What you say sounds good.....but again, trying to get the dealer to pass on that 3k rebate from manufacturer to dealer was just not happening in the Metro NY area back in Oct of 05!

I had 2 dealers admit to me about the kickback, only after I pried them about it.
They both would not pass on any of it on a lease, even though they knew that is what I was looking for!
I wanted to buy originally.......but the 3k lease kickback to dealer should have given me the "resale dive" edge I needed to feel comfortable with RL ownership.
No good, they were not sharing any part of that 3k lease Kickback pie to the consumer!

 

Here in L.A. some dealers would part with the majority of the $3K and others would only offer a few crumbs. There are 7 Acura dealerships within a 30 minute drive which may be why some dealers would part with the $3K. I also know there was excessive inventory.

Try again during the last two days of this month. You might get better cooperation. Locally, getting an RL for $42,000 (Sierra in Alhambra, Acura 101 West) is very do-able.

On a side note, there should be a sticky (if one doesn't exist) on how to negotiate the selling price of a car. or at the very least, one's behavior once you sit down and get down to numbers.

What I have found works best is putting my offer in writing on a piece of paper, sign the paper and mark above the offer 'firm'. If the salesperson comes back haggling, I rise, extend my hand in gratitude for his time, give him my business card and leave. Only once did a saleperson allow me to leave the dealership. Of course, you have to know going in that the offer you extend is fair for both parties.

 

Whimper.......

I'm going to ask for some 'net quotes for a base RL. Can't hurt, and no obligation is required!

 

I'd just call your local General Manager and have them give you a final final price.

Avoid the sales imbociles altogether.

Was offered $42k and change by my dealer.

Considering the good resale value of my '04 TL, even with 47k miles, the TL would essentially act as a significant down payment whether I sold it privately or just traded it.

Must.....keep.....hand.....away.....from.....phone ......urrrrrrrrrg......this is the same thing that happened last fall when I was offered a good deal on the M35x. I almost traded up. This deal, especially if I wait until the end of the month, and can negotiate an even lower price, is going to be much harder to resist.

 

I paid $43,500 for a non-tech in mid May (before taxes). Dealer wouldn't go lower. Chicago area.

 

i am quoted 45,079 for a tech pkg at open road acura in Wayne, nj.
