I just pulled in my garage with my brand new dealer polished NBP 06 TL w/Navi. Some of you may remember my posted pics of my totaled SSM TL last month (see photographs thread..."these will make you cry guranteed"). I have to say despite the totaling of my car, it's pretty cool to be in a 06 TL less than a month after my accident. My TL was totaled with over $22,000 in damage! I got a great deal on my new one at a dealer in Va. Out the door with tax, title, registration and all fees for $33965. If some of you are in No Va and looking for a deal, I'll hook you up and won't be like another person on a thread claiming they paid 32,500 OTD with everything included.......I doubt this very seriously. Have we seen this "scanned" invoice that includes everything in that price......not. Anyway.....I'm so happy to be back in a TL and I like the little changes. Seems to handle a little better, voice recognition is improved and gotta love those tire pressure sensors. If you fellas in NoVa need a hook up for a purchase of your TL. Let me know and I'll come through. Sorry for the novel. Pictures and mods to come (got to do all over again)

I am looking to buy tomorrow in the exact area. Any info will be exrememly helpful since I want that exact same car. PLEASE HELP ME!

Pranna

I just PM'd you. Let me know if you got it.

mptlptr

What's the tax rate over there? Or better yet, what was the price before TTL? Is yours a 5AT or 6MT?

ddocta

I didn't get it

[EDIT] Actually, I did get it. Thanks.

Pranna

My price before tax, title, license and fees was 32, 600. (funny how someone said they paid 32,500 WITH T, T, &L). My car is auto, there is no price change for auto or manual. Va sales tax is 3% whcih came out to $985.35. He made all the other numbers work so that I stayed at 33,965 (which was for TWO years plates and tags in Va). My goal was 33, 900ish. I'm very happy to say the least as I basically paid invoice for the car. Everyone's gotta pay taxes and the little fees.

SouthernBoy

Those are excellent numbers, my friend. Since you live in Herndon, I have to believe you got it at Pohanka.. right?

Pranna, is Navy Blue Pearl color available on the 2006? I checked the Acura website and they only have Royal Blue Pearl, and no NBP.

NBP stands for Nighthawk Black Pearl.

JPTL-S

Or Radely (My Guess)

SouthernBoy

Radley (as in Karen Radley Acura) is in Woodbridge. Do they tend to undersell Pohanka??

1995hoo

There is also a dealer called Radley Acura (just plain Radley Acura) at Bailey's Crossroads on Columbia Pike just west of Route 7.

JPTL-S

From what I hear and also from my own expererience, yes, they have very competitive pricing . I was actually referring to Radely in Bailey's (Falls Church) VA which is where I purchased my TL from

leedogg

Yep good price, I worked my dealer in MD (Rosenthal) down to 32,800. By quoting the 33,500 OTD number from VA buyers My MD OTD was 34xxx

bluequartz

All the dealers around Baltimore and DC are within a few hundred dollars of each other. They all deal. Some make you work a little harder than others.
I went with Tischer as the most convenient to my office.

I bought it at Radley Acura in Falls Church/Baileys Crossroads. I visited Radley in Woodbridge and didn't like them one bit. A lot of BS back and forth "let me check with my manager...sign this" (which I said hell no of course). I would stay the hell away from Radley in Woodbridge. Gents don't sign a damn thing unitl you've negotiated the price you want to pay and see it in writing. I had a great buying experience last night buying at Radley in Falls Church. Anyone know a great tint place??????

JPTL-S

I've used California Tint in Great Falls, I have had pretty good experiences (I've had several cars tinted there) with them. I know there are others on AZ that will tell you to stay away from them, but I've also recommended them to friends and they've all been pretty happy with their tint jobs. One of my friends just had his 05 with Navi tinted there last year.

EDIT: And I agree that Radley and Baileys is great, that's where I bought mine

charaiponh

I agree...I think if you live in the DC metro area you should buy your car from Radley. I had a great experience there...I got a great deal on my 2006 MT Black on Black with Navi. If anyone is looking to buy, let me know I paid 33500 OTD. As far as I'm concerned that is about the lowest anyone is getting that car. They also offer free inspections and oil changes for life. I went to Pohanka and had a terrible experience, they didnt seem that interested in selling me a car. They literally came out and told me that for the price i want i should go ahead and buy from Radley. What kind of dealer would tell you that when you are sitting in their showroom with your checkbook?

vbgirl76

Hey...can you guys PM me who I should use at Radley. I'm going to buy very soon and would like the best person to deal with. Thanks!

leedogg

I believe radley's has free lifetime oilchange too

vbgirl76

That's true. And they offer free wheel locks, all weather mats, mud flaps, and if you ask you can get the trunk tray thrown in also with your purchase. It's also nice because their service department is open until 2am (if you're up for a midnight oil change!).

I dealt with Lincoln Tucker and he was very good. My father had bought a TSX from him about three months earlier and he introduced me, so I'm sure that didn't hurt.

JT-05TL

I am about to purchase the Ron Jon bodykit for the ol' TL and I am buying it prepped and primered. I was wondering if you all know of a good place to have it paited so the damn color will match and have it put on in the NOVA area. Is this something the Dealership can do or do I need to find som other shop. I was also gonna have my car detailed and if you all knew of any good places to detail let me know as well thanks...


05 black TL with Navi
20 % tint

ronjon kit soon...

Don't go to Radley for painting because they don't have an onsite paint shop. They'll even tell you that it would make more sense for you to deal directly with an auto body shop on your own, rather than using the dealer as a middleman, and they're correct—what's the point of having to go through someone else to deal with the people who will paint your car?

Anyway, I had to get a new front bumper and I went to Quality Auto Body on Draper Drive in Fairfax. (If you know where the Harley dealer is on Lee Highway just west of Fairfax Circle, then you know where Draper Drive is—it's the street across from the Harley dealer.) The paint is indistinguishable from the rest of the car. I have the misfortune to have used Quality quite a few times....taken a Legend there, a 1997 Accord twice, the TL, my father took an Accord and a TSX, and my brother took a Civic. While they do excellent work (that's why I go back there), I call it a "misfortune" because nobody wants to have to go to an auto body shop if it can be avoided!
