I have a stupid question

Can you buy a TL without going through the Acura dealer?

Can you buy the TL at invoice or near invoice price? I'm not talking about an end-year sales. Are there any good online sources where you can buy a car without going through the Acura dealer?


answer plz? answer anzwer....

Car brokers...

There are car brokers that can get you various types of cars, but I don't know if prices are as good as those you can negotiate while sweating it out at the dealer. Oftentimes car brokers operate within dealerships, so you might be able to go to a Nissan dealership to have it get a Chevy for you...
Costco's program goes through the dealer- it offers a better start for negotiations than basing price on the retail invoice.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.


blazinginder, I already have the car, but was asking for future reference.. My lease will be over in 1.5 year. I would like to buy an Acura TL Type-S in late 2008...

LOL.. thanks!! I do like Acura cars and especially their engine. it is their engine and suspension system that impresses me so much. I just hope that the 3rd gear problem is resolved by 2008 and the dealer doesn't treat me badly then i would love to buy an Acura TL Type-S!


Does the Costco have service to repair Acura cars under warranty instead of going to the Acura dealer? I want to know this.

I believe the Costco deal is just a buying service (pre-negotiated prices) through a local dealer.

THIS IS CORRECT. and what will Y said is also correct. you can generally get a better deal than just the costco/sams deal if you are willing to negotiate.
