Question 3 months left on my 2000- Atlanta

I have three months left on my 2000 TL. I am looking at getting a 04 with navi auto but do not know if I should get it now or wait till my lease is up. What should I expect to pay for an 04 in Atlanta?

MSRP if you want NAVI.

If you're willing to go NON-NAVI, I think the dealers will negotiate much more as they've got a bunch of these cars currently on their lots.

Have fun shopping!

You can get great deals on Non-Navi cars. I know where you can get an EXCELLENT deal in Marietta. Nalley and call:

Tell her I sent you.

Wait out your lease!!!!

Two things will happen. 1) more early build problems will have been resolved 2) a better deal will be had in another three months than you can get today

With NAV cars selling so well, don't you suspect that Acura is trying to purchase more NAV hardware to increase the % of NAV cars built? They're capitalists, for sure!

Good luck!

if Nalley doesn't help, which they didn't help me more than they'd help pick their own nose, call Acura of Athens, I bought both my 2000 and my 2004 from them. They drive to Atl to pick up your car from wherever you are parked for servicing, leave you another one here, then bring it right back to wherever you are. Got a Volvo S80 last time.

They also beat any price that Atl could give me on any car. In the case of the 2000 they beat Atl by 1200. I walked out said and signed and done for $29000 on a 2000 Laguna non-navi. Atl wouldn't come under 30200-30500.

You can mention my name if you want, Craig Spreha.

Sure it's a drive, but is an hour worth a few bucks ?? And I do it just to stick it to the snobby-@$$ no-budgin atlanta dealers.

I tried them too...and almost had a deal with Acura of Athens. However, when I pitted them against Nalley (which is in my back yard) Nalley came up with a better price by $35 per month. Athens wouldn't match or beat it. You gotta BEAT them down though that's for sure.

Hey,

Call Athens Acura at 1-800-546-1076 and ask for Chuck Hawkins. Tell him I referred you. He should be able to cut you a good deal. Good luck and let me know how it goes if you go through him (I don't get anything for the referral).

JimmyZ, I don't play the Beating game, one call to Athens and I got a better deal. The BF'er at Nalley can shove it up his rear.

I just called Athens service, they're picking my dearest Maxwell up next monday for:
Back Dash sub rattle
E-Brake goes all the way to top (not adjusting)
Memory Seat module
Stitching coming out over the passenger door
Wiper Spray narrow and shoots over car (even at 55)
and Cold/Flatspotting.

Oh yeah.. and first earl change (6500 miles)

I just traded in my 2k TL with 3 months left on the lease for an 04. My dealer made the final payments on my 2k for me and gave me a great price on the new one! While you may get a lower price in 3 months, the lower residual values if you re-lease will probably offset any price advantage. The lower the residual the higher your payment. I would buy now if they would do the same for you plus substantially discount the new one. FWIW

Since everyone is talking good about Athens Acura I will give them a call. They are not to far from where I live.

Thanks!!!

And I'm taking advantage of Athen's service policy this next monday. They're driving from Athens to Georgia Power to pick dear Maxwell up, and they leave you something else. So I don't have to try to get to a dealer at 7am or at 5pm both of which are sucky traffic times. Just a perk, and I know it puts miles on the baby, but hell, it's convenient.

Jimmyz,

I'm working with Nalley and Ed Voyles. Any issues with either? I bought a volvo from Voyles in the past and was happy with them. How was Nalley to deal with?

On your deal from Nalley, what was your final price? You got a '04 TL Anthracite / Ebony / A5, right? Navi or not? Like the color combo? I'm looking at the same. Did you look at Camel?

Thanks, much

Hey Java,

How much were you quoted? I am looking to get one too. Maybe we can buy one together and save.
