I'm planning on purchasing a type-s w/o navigation. For the st. louis area, how much should it be? what about if i wanted to add a spoiler and gold emblems? please help.

 

Are you in st.louis missouri? Don't go to dave mungenast. I bought mine there because i wanted the aegean blue pearl (I got my car two weeks after it came out, first in st.louis with an aegeanbluepearl) You should go to Frank Leta Acura. You can bargain better there. MSRP is almost 32. Aim for 30 or 30,500 if possible. Let me know where you're at. Maybe we can meet up.

 

Frank Leta is defintely the way to go. You will save yourself $'s as they're a lot more likely to deal than Mungenast. Also their service is great. I had tons of minor problems with my TLS (rattles. squeaks, misaligned doors, etc etc) and they fixed the problem every time. I have yet to experience that level of service since moving back to Chicago.

 

I believe Frank Leta is top 10 dealer and top 3 in service, or something close. They were recently profiled in the St. Louis Post. I bought my 2000 TL there used. I don't think either dealer is particularly quick to deal on new. I can't stand any of the Mungenast dealers. They are arrogant SOB's. I think the only thing that keeps them in business is Product and Location. I have yet to find anyone who has anything good to say about them. Leta should be your first choice. I have not used their service yet, but have heard from others that it is first rate.

 

yeah, I had a feeling Frank Leta would be a better place to go to. I've been to Mungenast, and they seem a little rude. They're not as professional as Frank Leta. I think Frank Leta ranks #1 in the nation for sales and service. Anyway, shoot for 30,000 to 30,500?
How about with spoiler and gold emblems? Thanks for the response.

 

The spoiler and the body kit look pretty sharp, though personally I would put my extra $'s in a Navi system before anything else. My biggest regret while I had my TLS was not opting for the Navi.


I find it hard to believe that Frank Leta is No. 1 in sales. Service defintely, but sales??

I'm not sure if Don (Service Manager) is still around. Had to take in my TLS to get a LOT of minor problems fixed but I never once got frustrated thanks to his attitude and professionalism. Great guy.
