This is a Canadian news release.

 

I was like WHA?!?!!? until I saw Canada.

 

Hey put that Canadian News Release Statement on the top next time. I almost had a hard attack when I saw those prices.

Thanks for the info, though.

 

I just wish I knew what that meant in US $$.

 

Yeah but we've seen reports of $31,000 U.S for the base Type-S without NAV.

 

The prices in the U.S. have always been higher, before taxes. Converting the Canadian prices to U.S. dollars will give you Americans a real deal. However, the marketing/sales gurus at Acura have always priced the U.S. vehicles appreciably higher than us Canucks. Oh, and by the way, Americans cannot come up here and purchase Canadian Acuras. Acura Canada is well aware of this potential loophole. I suppose you could try to buy a new "used" Acura from a friendly Canadian owner.

 

Damn...those prices are cheap. They'll obviously be jacked up 3 or 4k. I still love my tl although i overpayed. Can't wait till i trade it in.

the price is fair.

i dont understand why someone from the states counldnt come up here to pick up a tl. when your willing to toss over 40 grand, i doubt too many dealers will say 'NO!'

 

Daaamn those prices are attractive

Only in Canada though

 

You all don't start getting mushy on me !!! We all have one advantage over the new TL...LOOKS !!!

Shyne--Lookin' spiffy 24-7 at tha 7-11 ...

 

The price for a 2002 TL is pretty good at $37k. My 2000 had a msrp of $35k. You get a lot more for the $2k difference. However, I could barely afford the one I bought so I don't envy the new one or wish to change to the new one. Besides, regardless, the current model is really nice already! There is always something newer!!!

 

41 Gs????
for a type S i guess that's really fair.. considering it's only 4000 more than normal TL .. although when they first came out in 99 i remember them being only 35000

but still 41000 for a type s?? i got my 97 3.2TL for $40000, that was waay back when they were still made in japan...

 

Damn........ My car is old, now.... Damn..... I will be smoked by new members with their type S soon....

Worse of all it's only $5000 more than my 2000 TL. But you get 6-CD, memoryseat, 260hp engine, 17's, VSA, and sports tuned suspension. Damn that's a good deal man...

Well, I guess it's time to put money down on the Bimmer.....

 

$1 US = $1.5386 Canadian. (divide by 1.5386 for Cdn$ -> US$ conversion)

So $37,000 for a base TL = $24,025US and a TL-S is = $26,647US. That is cheap, eh!

 

Is that right? That means a 2002 TL-S is cheaper than a 2001 TL w/ NAV. I paid $28.3, so if I waited, I could of gotten a 2002 TL-S w/ NAV for $28.6 (for $300 more)? I hope those numbers aren't right. Otherwise I'll kill myself!

The numbers are right; however, Canada TL's don't come with NAV systems...the major difference. Small differences are climate and speedo in metric...not decimal.
