I went through CarsDirect.com. You have the price BEFORE you even walk in. I ended up buying from Cerritos Acura. They had the car I wanted. Overall, the buying experience was ok. I have been through a lot worse

2004 TL Comes out by April or March, You better wait.. Its only couple months away.. it will have a lot more features and more HP and it will be redesigned.. You have money for the whole car so Why get a old design when the resale value will go down.. Your better wait or you will seriously Regret it.. Why not buy a cheap car for now and than sell it later and put it down for the downpayment on the new TL.. Trust me You will regret it if you get a Brand New TL And a newer one comes out.. But Thats just what my opinion is.. I am just waiting.. Or atleast wait till Jan. When the car debuts so you know what will be coming out and if its anything big and check out the model..

Its all different. No GM knows the exact date... I Heard lots of people saying they talked to GM and he said it will be out spring and lots say fall we just have to wait for the Auto Shows so we can check the car out and get a exact release date.. Rysky who told you now? The GM of Jay Wolfe Acura?

Heheh I should feel bad for paying msrp for my car but aleast I had my car longer than all of you hehe. I bought it when it came out for 35900 OTD with complete kit and spoiler. O yeah since it's a new model for the 2004 you probably can't get a good deal until like 3 to 4 month aftward for the type S don't know about the regulars but usally the type S hold it's price for serveral months.

$1,000 is alot of money to some people. You seem like you have lots of money. I say you worry about the price when the car is actually released.

If you were in central cal I'd recommend a place that would give you a very decent offer, but since you're in socal I'd suggest maybe trying Norm Reeves, I think that's the dealership that someone people had gotten sweet deals on.

I got the following email from Downey Acura back in Sept. May still be good. Prices seem fair.

The following are the Internet Prices for the 2003 Acura TL:

3.2 TL Premium: INTERNET PRICE $27,412.00

3.2 TL Navigation: INTERNET PRICE $29,469.00

3.2 TL Type S: INTERNET PRICE $29,351.00

3.2 TL Type S Navigation: INTERNET PRICE $31,309.00

*All above offers include dealer installed factory mud guards and wheel locks standard equipment at most Acura dealerships. All above offers expire within 48 hours of this email...TO RECEIVE AN EVEN LOWER PRICE, PRINT THIS EMAIL AND BRING IT WITH YOU TO DOWNEY ACURA!!!!!!
