I luv my new TL!!!

Finally pulled the trigger this past Monday. Went shopping w/ another forum member and we both got incredible deals. I promised the salesman I wouldn't tell how much I paid but I will say it is one of the best prices I've seen on the forum for AUTO/NAVI.

Mine is RRP/Parchment. I'm still trying to read about all the great gadgets. It drives even better than I remember from my test drive about 1.5 months ago.

For mods, I want to do the deck lid spoiler and window tinting. Anyone have any recs for tinting places in Maryland? (I'll do a search too).

Glad to be a TL-owning member of the forum now!

Welcome to the forum. You could mention the dealer's name if you want, and maybe give someone else a head start.

JJY, I noticed you are from Columbia, MD. Did you go to Norris Acura West in Ellicott City?

This is where my wife and I purchased ours from, I got an okay deal I guess...was hoping for better though. They weren't budging on the Anthracite, 6SP's though. They were fighting with other dealers to get them in.

Let us know the dealer at least!

I haven't heard from you, so I assume you didn't talk to the salesman I recommended.

I bought my TL at Tischer Acura. Abu Bangura was my salesman, referred by Bluenote. He is very honest, relaxed, and likeable, but best of all, willing to negotiate more than any of the other dealerships in the area. I would highly recommend him (and mention my name for points in the service dept ). The salesman at Norris Acura in Ellicott City was nice but not willing to negotiate as much as Abu. Plus, Abu just seemed a lot more trustworthy. Their F&I guy didn't try to push any kind of BS aftercharges like ext/int coating, etc. He beat my E-loan APR by > 0.5%.

I think I'll definitely put on the decklid spoiler w/ my free first oil change. (Tischer also has a VIP program where you earn points thru their service dept, ie an automatic discount on all work done there!) I'm still looking into the window tinting.

Again, this car is AWESOME!

Congratulations jjy. You also have picked a terrific color combination (just like mine). Expect many compliments on the car, and you will enjoy the wizardry of the navi and voice control.

awwwwwwwww shucks! Glad to help. Abu is indeed a great guy. I think you'll be happy with the service department, too.
