Acura of Athens

Just wondering if anyone has had good/bad experiences at Acura of Athens in Georgia?
I'm in NC but shopping around for a Black 2008 TL-S (thinking of trading my 07 Base).

Is 510 per month, first payment due at signing good or bad for a TL-S?

$510 is nothing like us Canadians are paying....we pay about $700-$800 per month.

1.9% in Canada right now. Dealer will heavily discount any TL-S in stock (the key is "in stock"). I doubt you'll pay more than $650.

I've been going to school in Athens for 4 years now and I've only gone there for service once. The service was 'ok'. Since it's an Acura/Volvo dealer they gave me a sea-foam green volvo wagon as a loaner. It's kinda hard trying to pick up girls in a station wagon. But other than that, everything went well. A good plus with some of these 'smaller' dealers is that they are usually have some incentives over metro atlanta dealers. For example, they might offer to pick your car up for service and give you a loaner, or they might detail your car when it goes in for service, or something along those lines. Good luck.

I agree with TL1999, Ed Voyles is the best, especially when it comes to service. Kevin and Jason always do a great job. For me, it's worth the hour drive from Athens to Atlanta for service.

Not great, but not terrible. You can do better.

Guessing that's 36 months and 10,000 miles per year?

Good lease costs for the TL-S should be $480 - $490, 36 months, 12,000 miles. First Payment only at signing.

(Assuming it's a straight lease. IF you're upside down on your WDP, you've got to add that back in to the $480 - $490 above. Also, if you're upside down, make sure you're getting all trade value you can. At least go to CarMax and have them make you an offer to see where you stand.)

Part of getting a good deal, is getting the deal when Acura is running incentives/subsidies.

I bought my 2000 Tl from Michael but when I wanted to trade it in on a 2002 TL-S, he couldn't touch the deal that Nally Acura was offering.

Both Ed Voyles and Nalley offered better deals than Athens Acura. Jackson Acura in Roswell, GA is a fairly new dealership and they have been offering some pretty agressive deals to build their customer base.

Not sure about Athens, but In Atlanta area you have 3-4 Acura dealers with good pricing. Go to Acura Carland in Gwinnett County and ask for Britt Kaminsky he will cut you a good deal, or Kevin or Marlene at Ed Voyles Acura or Chege at Jackson Acura (although they are slower at coming up with agressive pricing). TL-S should go for Invoice $35852. There was a $2k rebate that I think expired 3/31. I flip my TL every year so I have dealt with most of them at one time or another.
