I think I'm leaning towards the 2009 TSX unless I can score an insane deal on a 2008 TL. But anyway, I wanted to know what dealership in IL is the best to purchase from? Anyone with more "perks" than others (aside from how low they're willing to go with price)??? Like free car washes, loaner cars, etc. Some Acura dealers actually use this as a selling point, so I'm not sure if that's standard at all dealerships? Thanks from a newbie!

Also, I'm not sure if this belongs in this forum, so please feel free to move.

 

What part of IL? I just recently purchased a 2009 TSX. Alot of dealers wouldn't budge from sticker but there are a few out there that would be willing to work with you. Muller's and Libertyville was willing to work with me. PM me if you need a referral.

 

FYI, pretty much all dealers offer free loaners and carwashes. Car washes usually dont matter to me because they just pass it though the machine.......not cool.

 

Yes, "Chicagoland" area. That's what I thought. I just saw the "perks" advertised more at some dealerships than others, so I just wanted to make sure that it's pretty standard.

 

I've heard that some 2nd gen TSXers bought from Mueller's Acura in Schaumburg. Some have gone to McGrath Acura Westmont. I went with my girlfriend and let us test drive the 09 TSX at McGrath. I also visited Continental Acura before too, nice people as well.

 

McGrath Acura of Westmont all the way.
Ask for Mike Miller. They have the best selection of 09 TSX in stock.

No, I don't work for them but we did recently buy 2 cars from Mike.

I called Continental (bought my 87 Legend from them) and several other dealerships. Was treated most professionally by Mike and McGrath.

 

I bought my 1G from Muller's Woodfield (and test drove the 2G there while getting an oil change). I did an internet quote and the whole process was very smooth and professional. McGrath flat refused to quote me a price over email. They responded to the quote request from acura.com with "When can you come in for a test drive?". When I explained that I had test driven it already at another dealer, they still told me to come in to get "their best price". I won't deal with someone who won't quote me a price over email. It's just an excuse to apply pressure tactics at the dealer.

 

I did get alot of that too. If dealers that dont put the effort to earn my business then that must mean they've met thier sales goals for the month and dont need my business.
