I am sure this has been asked...

many, many times before, but what is the best deal I can expect or should work on getting for a TL?

Edit: Yes, I am too lazy too search.

TIA

If you are shrewd and do your homework, you should be paying X amount over or under invoice.

Good luck.

Does X=too lazy too search, or is it a variable or fixed amount? Can you search and give us some examples?

Using search is too easy. That said, I'd suspect that the OP was looking to spend about $3x,500 and if he really was a good negotiatior and was lucky enough to find the exact color/package available that he wanted towards the end of the fiscal month, he'd likely get a price much closer to $3y,500 or even $3z,500. You don't know until you try.

Looking for ABP? Beautiful but high-maintenance color. Just unloaded a midnight blue Saab so I know firsthand. You'll be on a first-name basis with your local detail shop...

Also--I have lurked the used car boards at Edmunds enough to know that in the used-car biz they refer to dark blue as "no-sale blue," so realize that they should be discounting it MORE not less than a more popular color like SSM, AM, NBP or WDP. Don't let them act like they are doing you a favor to locate such a "rare" color.

Since 05 is just around the corner, you should be able to do a pretty strong deal in the heartland especially on a non-navi. Don't know of any incentives, so negotiate up from invoice and good luck!

Thanks! I like the blue, but after owning my black 90 Integra until 1995 I swore I would never own another dark colored car. I am way over silver having had 3 silver BMWs back to back.

It actually takes more effort for this post than to search. I hate it when idiots do this.

I hate it when someone thinks that they are so superior and then expresses their immaturity.



BTW, subject is now closed.

Yep. He deserves to pay full sticker.


If everybody buying would ask the same question, it would never end.
