Brand New Member. Moved from a 05 TSX to a new 07 TL Type S in November. 2nd Purchase from Nalley Acura in Marietta, Georgia. Excellent experience. Negotiated over a two week period and was out the door for 34K with tint, LoJack, OEM all weather mats, trunk mat, wheel locks, and StoneX for the mirrors, fenders, hood, bumper and headlights. Still in the break-in period, but am amazed by the Type S. Am throughly enjoying the new car and being a member of the forum. Learn something new every day that I visit. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

They wanted 23,500, and i got it for 21,000 out the door with 2 new tires since the ones on the car were under 25%. Also had the pinstripe removed. CPO covered until 2010 powertrain.

I picked up my 03 TL-S new in July of 03. Paid 30K including taxes and tags. 34K for an 07 TL-S is a steal IMO.

The wife and I talked $4000 off the window price of my current used 03 TL. We had to stay until midnight, though.

I HATE negotiation. I'm never buying used again.

I got nothing officially off of mine - but I did make them pay off my expedition for $8000 (that I was trading in, so it really didn't matter).

oh - and I think they bent me over and gave it to me. Hey... that's like $20 where I come from.. lmao

In all reality, I think I got hosed because I was hooked and they knew it. I paid 32,xxx out the door with the extended warranty. This was for an '04 AUTO NAV bought in mid '06. (someone please come to my rescue and tell me about the good deal I got.. )

You traded some union assembled POS for a quality automobile. That alone is priceless.

*cough, cough, snicker snicker*

But seriously - good upgrade. At least you won't be making payments to the dealer mechanic AND the bank at the same time now...

I paid $3300 after taxes, title, and licenses. 2000 TL w/o navigation. 89K miles. Needed the blower motor resistor, new tires, plugs, air filter, oil change, and a good cleanup.

Got my rearview mirror under manufacturer warranty and my passenger airbag weight sensor under Acura warranty.
