Well i just got back from Ed Morse Acura of Pompano, after haggling with the guy, I didin't get the deal i wanted. I was looking at a 03 TLS with Navi. And the best price he gave me was 34,300 Out the door. Witch is about a grand over what I wanted to spend. Well, I guess Im going to try emailing some other local dealerships and see what kind of price I can get. if anyone in Florida got a good deal on ther TLS, please let me know, thanks

I wish you luck on getting that extra grand off, but the figure you received was just about what I paid last month.

If you do get a better deal, I would love to hear about it (although it would only cause me pain at this point).

Try Rick Case Acura in Fort Lauderdale. Ask for Debra Canter -- tell her Ron Adams (the big guy) sent you. My friends and I have purchased about 10 Acuras from her in the last year.

Debra is the sales manager -- pretty decent to deal with.

I dealt with David Kalish at Rick Case Acura and he was very nice to work with.

I'd have to add my vote for Rick Case as well. I too went to Ed Morse in Pompano because they were closer to home, and didn't have a very good experience. The salesman was a kid who didn't know anything, and didn't even have a car for me to test drive the first time I went there. When I went back and said I wanted to get a TL-S, his first words were "Whoa, that's gonna cost ya!". :P

You'll see a big difference as soon as you walk into Rick Case - the dealership is much bigger, cleaner and has nicer decor. I dealt with Dana Pekunece, who by coincidence I talked to at the Acura booth at the car show last year.

It was the best buying experience I've =ever= had, anywhere. After my experience at Ed Morse, I had planned to do an email blitz of dealships in South and Central Florida, and had gone to Rick Case to do one more test drive and confirm my color choice. Dana helped me, then asked if I was ready to talk. I told him no, and told him of my email plan. He inquired what I was planning to send out as a price, so I lowballed a silly number. He came back, and I countered with what I had planned to send out as my =starting= number in my emails. They accepted it! I was so shocked that I shook hands and only half heartedly fought him over the add on fees which they ended up halfing. In retrospect I think I did so well because all this took place on November 29 and they needed another deal or two by the end of the month.

My deal done in less than half an hour, and wasn't painful at all. Dana was extremely professional throughout, and followed through in all communications, both pre and post pick up. The finance guy tried the usual add on stuff, but didn't apply a lot of pressure at all.

I've also had great experiences with the service department. I've received loaners (CL, TL and RL) every time my car has gone in, even for an oil change that they had completed before noon. They are very knowledgable in mods if you want them done as well.

Highly recommended.

Just purchased mine from Rick Case. Call David Kalish, Internet Sales Manager. Tell him Hector Gil sent you. His email is davidkalish@rickcase.com
His numbers are:
954-377-7616
cell-954-806-6967
Great service. I also tried Ed Morse but they were unable to beat his price, same thing for Miami, Esserman, and Naples Acuras. If need further info let me know. Thanks

I have a question for all the florida people that bought from Rick Case Acura. Which TL did you get? with or without navi? and how much did you pay for it? Im really interested in getting my car within the week, thanks

hgiljr

I got the TL-S with the rear spoiler and tints but I am leasing so Not sure if you are buying or leasing.

Ruski

If you see Dave Kalish at Rick Case, also tell him that Andrey Fyodorov said hi.

I got a non-navi 2002 TL-S. Aegean Blue Pearl.

I think they have more non-navis in stock.

Just bought mine from Dana at Rick Case two weeks ago, good price and easy to deal with, I was in and out in less than one hour. I tried Ed Morse cuz they are close to my office but they did not have the car I wanted and it seemed to be a dinky dealership which is unusual for an Ed Morse dealership.

Well I just got done talking with David Kalish of Rick Case Acura, The best deal I could get for a Black on Black w/ Navi and spoiler TLS is 34,785 out the door. Any one think I got Robbed? this is almost a grand more than what I had in mind.
O yea, the car is being built so i wouldn't be able to get the car till like three weeks later.

JasonT

Another Rick Case/David Kalish buyer. I got my CL-S without Navi from him too.

JasonT

Yes I don't like their sales much either, but their service is first rate.

JasonT

Have you considered a 2002? There's almost no difference between the 2002/2003. A few little interior changes, but that's it.

If you must get a 2003, have Rick case put you on the list for that car. Wait the 3 weeks, then shop around again. If they don't sell the car to you, i'm sure they will sell it to somone when they get it.

Osofastferu

Yea, at first I was looking for a 02, but no one has any left, they said that the 03 model came out in February. Im still considering if I should buy this vehicle because I heard there is a redesign for 04. So if I buy this car now, in about 7 months the car will look Old already.
