Question any problems ordering an 04 TL?

My local dealer keeps telling me that I cannot order a car from Acura. All I can do is tell the dealer what I want and they will try to find one at another dealer and do a trade. They said that only Honda employees can place orders with Acura. Is this true? It seems like a lot of folks here have ordered their cars.

Who cares how they get it. As long as the car is the one you requested does it matter where they get it from?

I wanted to order one because I'm not in a hurry to buy and I want one brand new, off a truck with very few miles. I don't want them getting one from a dealer in another city and driving it to me, racking up miles on the car.

You need to find out how they are gonna get it - because they are in such high demand, the dealers are allocating (trading, etc.) cars destined for other dealers - the car would typically be dropped from the trailer just as a car originally destined for that dealership. The trades, etc. are actually being done on the manufacturing line ....

If you are not in a hurry I would wait for them to address all the little issues that may arise with new design. You would also be able to get it for less by waiting.

I would think you could order one straight from the factory through your dealer.
