New TL-S in the Driveway :-)
I had ordered in December and was first on the list. Since yesterday was the release date, I got the call. Black with Parchment. Only made it through the first 107 pages of the owners manual last nite. There is a lot of nice touches in the car.
Price was MSRP but free oil changes for life. No wiggle room.

Oil changes for life?
hmmmm.
you paid like $2,000 more than people will pay in 8 months.
At $35 a pop, that's a little more than 7 years worth of oil changes.
Not too bad but I bet you don't own that car for 7 years.
They should have thrown in that 1st years maintenance for free. Did you ask for that?

My lease runs out on my current Maxima in a month, so I can't wait 6 months for the price to hopefully drop. I'll bargain with all 7 dealers in the state (one is a 4 hour drive away!), and get the best price I can. Heck, I'd even consider trying other states nearby.

Does the back seat fold down? I got told that the rear seat folded down in the auto show cars. But, if you read Acura's website, it appears that the rear seat does not fold down.
The pass-through isn't big enough for me -- I've got a bike that I sometimes tote around and don't want to stick a rack on the car.

do you know how to change the oil in your car?? You could of saved some cash and just done it your self, its not rocket science. But if ya got the dough and you just dont feel like doing it thats understandable.

Yes, I know how to change oil. I generally do most of my own maintenance. Heck, I have a '72 Corvette Roadster with a 454 Big Block that I have spent considerable time working on. Free Oil changes was just a nice perk. The dealer is located right next to a machine shop I use, so it may be convenient to have them do it. And usually my time is worth a heck of a lot more than the $30 per half hour it could take, not counting going to get the filter, oil, cleaning up, proper disposal of the oil, etc. And yes, I can certainly afford the vehicle. Could have bought a load 540, but believed the TL-S represented the best value! The extra performance edge for an extra 20k is hard to justify for daily driving.
