All,
Just received my Acura TL-S w/Navi. Here's my lease deal from the SF Bay Area.
Make/Model: 2002 Acura TL-S w/Navi
Options: Spoiler, Wheel Locks, Mud Guards, Wheel Well Moldings, Moonroof Visor
Color: Nighthawk Black/Parchment
Cap Cost: 32,995
Lease Drive Off (includes DMV, First Month Payment): $900
Term: 36 Months
Miles/Year: 15,000
Residual: 20,556
Monthly Payment (include Tax): 560
Looked at quite a few vehicles over the last year. Everything from BMW (X5, 330, 528), Merc, Chevy Tahoe, Volvo, Lexus, etc. Funny thing is that I first looked at the Acura TL about a year ago and thought that it was a good car but was missing a few features. This was when the CL-S just came on the market so I was comparing the TL to it. Again, looked at many vehicles but came back to the TL when I heard that they had the S version. Well, needless to say it sealed the deal for me. With 260 horsepower, etc. I wanted the car.
Note that in the Bay Area some dealers have been marking the car up by as much as 2000 dollars (above MSRP!), although I think that you could have talked them out of charging that crazy fee due to the economy.
I went through a auto broker who was referred to me (Hammer Auto in Palo Alto - have website). They are supposedly the largest new car broker in the country, yet I was able to work with the owner, Robert Hammer. For a fee of 300 dollars they will locate and do all the negotiating and get you a great deal (in my opinion). I made sure to do my homework though, before deciding to buy through the broker.
All in all, I am VERY happy with the car, especially the deal and now look forward to driving it.
More... I am glad I found this site as it provided me with much valuable information, making me a very knowledgable buyer.
Thanks
