i keep seeing people say they can get a Tl-S for $31k+, so what can get a base for, you think? i am wondering if i can get one in my budget or if i should stick with used...

i want a G8 GT, but also would love a TL

It depends in the area in which you live since they have different promotions at different times. But you would really have to fight hard for a good deal, its hard to lower the prices on these cars. Also are you planning on getting navi with it or not? I think you probably can get it with navi for about 28isk or so. Maybe see if they will throw in the rubber mats and the trunk mat for ya.

People getting TL-S's for 31+++ is not the norm. Usually it's around 32.5-33.5 range. I would think w/ the current incentives (location matters) most people could get a non-nav in the 28k range.

IMHO of course.

Man, come to the Bay Area (California) and they will laugh at you if you think you can get a brand new TL-S around the range of 32.5 or 33.5... Got mine for 36k brand new, but its a brand new 2007 not a 2008... I bought my car 4 months ago.. Man you guys got it good.... PEACE!

I'm getting offers for a TL w/ Navi for $28,343.00 (without haggling) So a base, and after haggling should be around the low $26k or even high $25k. Make sure you go through the internet department first, and make sure the dealer knows that you did your Homework. Because one dealer was saying $31k and then I said that the fourth Gens are coming and Acura is giving $3,500.00 incentives, so he then dropped the price to $28,343.00!

And I would suggest getting the Navi if you can afford it, because every one that didn't get it, always say that they regretted not getting it.

say when

that sounds like a great price pull the trigger.

I'm in the same shoes, I got quoted for 31,935 OTD for base with navi. Is it a good price, you think? Or should I fight to lower the price more ?

waterpolo820

I would fight to get some freebies i.e. mud guards, Car cover, wheel locks, etc... Other than that it is a good price.

waterpolo820, Can you tell me what dealer is giving you this quote?

TonyBui

And where are you from ?

TonyBui

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to Acura and how exactly does incentives work ?? just -3,500 from invoice price or something?

grondie

The invoice on the base is 30991, minus the 3500 incentive, gives you a starting point of 27491 (dealer still makes $ on the holdback).

Edmunds has the TMV with incentives at 26037. So, somewhere in that range would be good.

TonyBui

One more Question, I'm new to this online quoting thing.

I've been emailing with this sales manager over the email about prices but never really have like a "quote" and i don't even know what a quote should look like. I heard we have to get a quote in "writing"(how is it in writing?) and a VIN number of the vehicles to be able to get the internet price or else if I get to the dealership, things might change, is it correct?

thedonard

When I was shopping I got offered (not sure I believed him but I had already bought a used 2006) a non-navi for ~$28,700 with 2.9%. I think he might have been lying to get me in there regarding the 2.9%.

Some of these prices listed above don't exactly seem right. With Navi I can't image getting less than 29,500. (and this is w/o the good financing terms)

There's no way you're gonna get an '08 with NAVI for under 30k, incentives or not. Acura is well aware that these are the last of the 3Gs and they have sold remarkably in the last 3 years. They don't need to reduce the price just to get you a deal.

TonyBui

So what do I do? say I need a quote in writing to be able to get the internet price when I get to the dealership ?

waterpolo820

I'm in Southern California (Orange County), and that dealer was Norm Reeves Acura, I gave them a quote from another dealer that was in the $29k range. and they responded and gave me that quote, and then they told me, practically yelled at me, that all the dealers are competing, and that they will do anything to get my business.

BTW: I'm paying Cash, so that might have an effect on the price.

But I don't think I'm going to take that offer because I finally found a 6sp Manual, in a different state, but I think I'm driving the 5+ hours to get that.

waterpolo820

Well I don't know what to say... I'm actually pretty shocked on how low they are going on the prices too.. But like I said maybe because I am paying Cash they bring the price down to mid $28k

EDIT: THat price includes the shipping/destination charges...

Unless you're paying cash, its all going to come down to the monthly payment. Generally speaking, for every 5000 you finance it will be 100 payment. if you put 5k down, your payment should be around 500/month if you finance 30k for 60 months.

They may offer a 72 month loan which will bring down the monthly payment, but you will end up paying more for the car overall.

I think 30k is a good buy for an 08 base w/NAVI.

TonyBui

I don't know about other areas but these dealers around here won't go down that low, the cheapest I could find is $31,935 OTD

just print out a carsdirect estimate, they will match.
