Is this a good deal on an '05???

1st post. (been a lurker for a while)

Anyways, about to pull the trigger on a white/parchment/manual ’05 TL. Not my first color choice but evidently there were no silver/black/manuals within 1000 miles + of Denver.

Here’s the deal:

The aforementioned car with clearbra and protection package (wheel locks, all-season mats, and mud flaps)
For 32K. This includes all dealer misc fees.

Is this a good deal or do I need to push for more?


BTW, really impressed with this car and can’t wait. I have been a Porsche guy for about 6 years (currently porscheless) and was impressed with the acceleration of the TL as compared to my late boxster S and 944 turbo. Also this car feels REALLY solid and the interior trimmings are nicer than even a 996 (911) that costs 3 times the price. Looking forward to it!

thanks for the input

Sounds like a good deal.
It's easier to compare prices when you post the price of just the car itself.

My memory's a bit fuzzy, but I don't think the "protection package" includes all-season mats... if they're included, then

$32K for a non-Nav TL (5AT or 6MT) seems high, I would expect a price in the area of ~30.5K to $31K. It also depends alot on where you are located too.

Sorry to hear of your Porsche-less state, never owned on but a couple friends did (one had a 944 Turbo great car to drive and the other two 928's)

Not that good of a deal. I just picked up my SSM/Ebony/Navi for invoice $32,555, plus TTL. I started negotiating on the TL's at several dealers a month ago and because I was patient I eventually got the local dealer down to invoice, which was my intent. I feel better now about paying MSRP for one the first 2001 CL TYPE S's that arrived at the same dealer. He claimed at the time they were hard to come by. :rippedoff

Hi everyone. I am also in the market for a new TL. I was given a quote for 32000 for a TL with Navi, any color combo they have at the dealership. and of course plus TTL.

I used Carsdirect.com and let it get me quotes from local dealers. Two days ago I bought a Silver/Ebony 5AT w/Nav for $31,690 including destination and mud flaps from Santa Monica acura. I was thinking to wait for an IS350 but this deal was too damn good.
