Anybody in the greater LA area (preferably Orange County) purchase a TL-S w/Navi this past week or will be picking up the car this next week (now that the factory hold is released)? If yes, what did you pay for the car (incl Dest.) before the dealer adds and TTL? What dealer and sales person? I plan to purchase a WDP TL-S w/Navi before the end of May. Any strongly recommended sales folks and dealers that gave you an invoice plus price vs. MSRP down negotiation?

 

talk to crzyacura. as for me i got a tls non nav so prices are different but i can refer you to some good dealers. i bought mine at South Coast Acura from John Hyung. Real straightforward, no hidden deals...he'll even make you a deal on a car he doesn't have (he had to make a dealer trade to get the car i wanted). i think southcoast is the best in OC, you might want to try tustin acura and cerritos. If you're willing to travel Peyton-Cramer in Torrence gives great deals also. most dealerships are getting a lot of stock so good deals are going around . i got my non nav tls for 29,700 including destination, mudflaps and wheellocks and a chrome license plate frame. if you need more specific dealer information or more dealers my email is bioyuki@socal.rr.com

Yes, Phoenix, AZ, but there are absolutely no deals here (too many clowns willing to pay MSRP or just under). Two dealers in the area, but no deals! Hence my search in the greater LA area where ~20 dealers exist and it only costs $75 to fly over. Thanks for the leads (I've already got John H looking for me, but he wants it to be a dealer stock unit before he'll go so low).

 

i can't link files to this site so give me your email...i have a list of about 20 dealers w/ phone number in a word document. i'll send it to ya

Ask Scotty. He got the best deal I have seen so far in the Ontario, CA area.

 

TLSshopper-
Try Thomas Acura in Covina or South Coast Acura in Costa Mesa.

Be aware however that demand is increasing in the LA area (probably due to this forum!) and that supply is low. When I purchased there were at least 10 TLS's to choose from at my delaer. When I got my spoiler installed yesterday they only had one on the lot. Who knows what the real story is but seeing was believing.

By the way my salesman was ribbing me yesterday that I literaly "stole" the car from him. Keep in mind that I worked on him for over 4 months until I got the price I wanted.

I would say go with John at South Coast. He was my second best deal that I was offered. Nice guy, straightforward etc.

Happy Hunting!!!

 

Picked up my silver tl-s w/nav. flaps, locks and visor for $31,100 plus tax and license, $34,090 otd. Got mine from Pasadena Acura, Jack Oh was the sales guy, very good.

 

I would recommend John first at South Coast Acura, then Julie Kim at Metro Acura, Montclair (San Bernardino County).
