Joining all of you with a brand new TL
Hello All,
Thanks for all the great info on this forum. I'm finalizing a deal & picking up my new TL next week for $31,700 which includes the following:
Blk/Blk 08 TL with Nav
3M Clear Guard ($329 retail)
All Season Mats ($149 Retail)
Splash Guards ($229 Retail)
Trunk Mat ($109 Retail)
Doc Fee ($50)
Destination Fee ($740)
I will need to pay in addition to the $31,700 the Tax and Lic fees. I was told that color combo makes a difference in the flexibility of the dealer in passing on more incentives however, Blk/Blk is in high demand. I could have gotten a better deal on diff color combo but I opted not to. I got a better price in Chicago but it's 7.5 hrs of drive or $500 to get the car shipped!! So, is my local deal a good one? I'd like to hear your comments please and thx in advance.

They are lying a little bit, the color combo has nothing to do with the dealer incentives. It's not restricted by color combination or model (base/navi/type s) for the TL, they are just trying to make more $$$$.
In any event, welcome.

Thx for your warm welcome and unfortunately I can't post pics until I take delivery of the car.
Can anyone comment on the price? I have not signed the papers yet and will do so on delivery? Thx

Rear Spoiler
The price is good. Tell them to throw in a color matched rear lip or wing spoiler and it's a deal. It costs them nothing to add it yet saves you a few hundred from not having to buy it later. I've purchased 5 new cars in my lifetime, all of which I made them throw in a rear spoiler. They never batted an eye at the request. They said yes every time.

Thx all of you. I know I can squeeze at least another grand but I figured since I'm getting a great deal on my trade in, I'll settle.
As for the wing, I'm not big on those flashy accessories. The TL lines are great as is. Any other additions (even the door guards) would be unjust. I will post pics ASAP. I am taking delivery this Friday. Can't wait.
