What I do is figure the base invoice price and then subtract the maufacturer rollback if applicable. Then I have the base cost to the dealer.
I then figure in @ 5% profit by dividing the dealer bottom line cost by .95.
i.e
Base invoice = $27,000
Manuf Rollback: $571
Bottom Line: $26,429/.95 = $27,820

When leasing a year ago, I e-mailed every Acura dealer within a 50 mile radius, told them what I wanted and what I was willing to pay, and to quote me their best price for purchase within a week. I got the dealers working against each other and ended up below MSRP locally, which was good at the time. Previously, they wouldn't budge. I know you can do better now, especially on a "leftover" 01.

Mike S and Phatboy, you're dreaming. You must be Acura Salesmen with something to gain from such ludicrous comments.
I have already talked to two dealers who say that they'll work with me on the price.
I just have to laugh.

You can always shop at different dealerships. However sales people have to wait for you, the customer with the $, to come to them. Don't you think a dealer prefers to make less rather than losing the whole deal? You can always negotiate the price. Maybe you'll pay MSRP of the car with added options, but definitely no way to pay MSRP just for the car alone.

A dealer willing to "work with (you) on the price" doesn't mean they'll sell you a TL-S for $27.8k. If you check posts on what people are currently paying for the '01 TL, the average is around $26.8K. It just doesn't seem realistic that the '02 TL-S will command a premium of only $1K over the current price of the '01 TL.
Time will tell. It's all dependent on the supply/demand curve.
Louisiana, I hope you're right...but I don't think so. If it turns out that you are right, I'll happily eat crow, and enjoy every bite of it! Please let everyone know what deal you're able to negotiate.
BTW, it's called "holdback", not "rollback."

Wait until this summer, prices should be a little more negotiable then. Same thing happened with the launch of the CL/CL-S. After a couple of months, they were coming down off of MSRP.....

To pay MSRP is just getting ripped off. There is not a huge demand on the TL-S like yall think. Yes most of the people on this board want one and went and put deposits on it. Those are the people that are going to pay MSRP, just because they wanted to be the first on the block with one.
Usually you should be able to get a vehicle for about 3.5% to 4.5% over invoice. For the econo vehicles you can get it at 3.5% and below in some cases because they aren't a luxury dealer like Acura, BMW, Mercedes.
I would assume for an Acura that it would be about 4%. You can probably get below that, but remember that these guys do have to pay for the dealership and they do have to make some money.
But do e-mail all the dealers in your area, and ask them for a price. Then at the end just go the dealer closest to you, or the one you prefer... and show them the lowest price, and see if they will match or beat it.
Also if you don't want to show any paper from other dealers, start at about $500 below your target price, and try to meet it somewhere in the middle. It's a game, just have fun with it. I know I do
