Finally bought one - 2002 TL-S, Aegean blue

Love it so much already - smooth, fast, and quiet. So much better than my old Legend.

Did the fax and email attack to PA, NJ, MD, DE. I got about 7-10 replies, with about 20-25 dealerships contacted. The internet salespeople make the best deals with the least amount of haggle and hastle involved. I'll never step foot in a dealership again to buy a car. All I did this time was show up, check out the ride, sign the papers, and drive away 20 minutes later.

Marisa @ Sussman Acura in Willow Grove/Jenkintown PA is who you want to talk to - I feel like I got a good price, one of the best I've ever seen posted on this site = $29,662 selling price, 30,600 OTL (no navi, no spoiler).

I would have gotten silver, but I just bought my wife a new 2002 Mitsu Montero Ltd SUV in silver on black interior, so we didn't want the same color scheme. Needed a little flash and a bit of a change since the old ride was sorta charcoal grey colored. Silver or Blue, you can't go wrong as long as it's a TL-S

Im interested, so please let me know. I went to school in Annapolis (the one on the Severn), and would not mind at all driving there if I can get a good deal.

I have only gone to Pohanka thus far, and they started with me at $500 below invoice. (I believe around 32500 wo TTL). I am sure that you can get them to at least 32 wo breaking a sweat.

I realize that its a far cry from some of the $31,200 deals that I have seen in this forum, but in the DC area, thats probably tough to do. (I hope someone proves me wrong!!)

yeah!!! same here, im tryin to get the tl-s with navi for around 33,500 OTD with some accessories(hopefully the spoiler). it might seem kinda unrealistic, but i guess i can wait a little bit once they start shipping out more cars.

There is a salesman named Raydon Rigby at a MD dealership, I think annapolis, but maybe baltimore.

No matter what, do the fax and email attack and put an offer price of just a little over the invoice - they will call back if you put a price with some obvious and up front profit vs. putting just the invoice $ as an offer. When those dealers call me back, I'll find out where they're located and post the name and #.

Also, force them to drop on their price right away by telling them you have a purchase order for $xxxxx, and that you intend to buy from someone else unless you hear a better price from them. Personally, I had a faxed purchase order from a dealership that gave me alota leverage once I used that as my 'wild card'

Let me know how it turns out. Laurel is fairly close to me, and I hope to be in the market for a TLS with navi very soon.
