I would definitely come down. Right now i am waiting for my dad's escrow to close. It was predicted to close on last monday or tuesday, but i guess it got delayed. If it does close before this weekend, i will gladly come down.

Also i called acura of south bay. I talked to Artie, and he said he would even give me a better price than $31,767 to make my drive worth it. (but i dont REALLY want to drive down there under this hot weather)

My goal is, is to get the car at $32,024 in which it would include the pro pack. I'm pretty sure we can do it. We can play the "walking out" trick and threaten to go to another dealer heh. If that doesn't work, we'll walk back in LOL.

just as an FYI, dont let the dealer know where you are from UNTIL you settle on the price. b/c if he knows ur not from around there and specially came there for the car, they will have the upper hand b/c they know ur ready to buy.

so for you guys, refrain from tellin them ur name or give them a fake one, over the phone.

In PA, at least at our local Harrisburg dealer, you cannot get them to budge on the numbers (although, otherwise a fabulous dealer).

I paid $36,000+ (sticker before my add-ons) for my '05 w/ navi and the only "extras" that came with it were the wheel locks. '06's the same ($35, 900 on up)...............

Take a look-see...

PA was a beast to buy one. I was dealing with 3 different dealerships at once and went with the best deal.

I was no where near $31K... not even close to 31 beans.

Get Navi. It is worth it. Even if you never use it. The interior looks more complete with it and I always use the radio functions on the touch screen and use the calculator/notepad for stuff.

Also, I am sure that SB Acura can give you a better deal now since the release of the '07 is much closer. I bought mine back in Dec '05.

Jerry at SB acura does so many deals. His sell board rotates through sales achieved very fast.
What I wanted to know was the DOLLAR amount of taxes you paid (plus the rate).

Thanks.

get navi, i know its 2gs more, but if you dont u will probalby regret it in about 6 months.
1. its is VERY useful (one of the best stock navi systems offered from other cars in the TL's catagory)
2. looks great, as was said above, completes the interior
3. touch screen is nice, calender is nice, calculator is nice

I am planning to get 5 T.V.s for 1 grand.

2 visors, 2 backseat, and 1 indash all for around 1 grand to replace the navi.

Those were my exact thoughts last October when looking into buying the TL. I thought, "Hey - it'll be November and they have '06's on the lot, they'd have to sell me an '05 cheaper".

Well, I was wrong again. They sold me the '05 for as much as they were selling the '06's; the only reason I still went with the '05 is because it was still rated at 270hp and even if there wasn't "any difference with the rating", it's still is nice seeing the 270 horsies on paper (as retarded as that may sound).

5 tvs for a grand is a good deal, but IMO i like the fact that the navi is tied into everything else in the car and its looks clean, as opposed to a aftermarket installed tv/navi screen.

i would just get navi, convert it to a tv/dvd, and get 4 screens. obviously the MORE EXPENSIVE route, but cleaner and more personally satisfing (at least to me)

well considering your buying a 30k+ car.....i wouldn't go the "cheap" route (even tho neither way is cheap, im speaking relatively), i would rather buy the car a/navi and postpone the extra tv's till you've saved enough.

and by NO MEANS should you think im forcing you or trying to persuade you to go MY WAY, im just giving you my opinions, just as a preventative measure so you are confident with your purchase and dont have regrets later.

yeah, i really want the navi, but my dad is against it for whatever reasons. He is not paying for the car, but he is helping me on insurance, so i have to take his will into consideration.

Even if i did save up 2 more grand for downpayment, he would still be against it. He just thinks i do not need it. Also, he thinks because i am only 21, i should be focusing on school, and NOW isn't the time for me to get my shine on lol. (i'll admit he is right)

but who knows, maybe i can change his mind. wish me luck

haha well then thats another story completely. Parents tend to have the final say when they are helping out.

as for the getting "ur shine on", ur getting a TL, ur shine is already on! lol, this aint no rinky dink $2000 rust bucket. haha

well yea, work ur magic and get that navi! say things like:

-i get lost a lot
-it will help me if im in trouble (gas, food, hotel)
-it will increase the sale value of the car

good luck!

Well...

The latest newsletters from various dealers show the invoice price for 06 TL w/ Navi has dropped to $32K or even $31.8K here in the bay area. I believe dealers has received message from Acura about 07 release date, and are ready to dump what they have in stock...

Will fight w/ them this weekend, and see how far I can go!

Any suggestions on the target price?

that sounds pretty good for your location.

i just bought a TL yesterday for my daily commute, since my Audi is now giving me less that 15mile per gallon.

i sent out bunch of request online and went with the cheapest one. i guess i could've bargin more but i didn't want the hazzel and was happy with the number.

bottomline, i got the car from Thomas Acura in covina...

06 TL anthracite with quartz and Nav
price before DMV/tax was 31570
also includes wheel locks/somekind of polish (junk)/mud guards

overall the best price was at Thomas, while keyes would definitely match it and santa monica as well.

cerrito was higher and alhambra was almost 800 higher and told me they would not sell the car for what i was quoted even with proof.

i went in and said i dont think i can afford the navi anymore, lets look at the non navi.....and of course after looking at the non navi, the sales(woman/man) would suggest you to look at the navi too just to see what you are "missing out". And you should act like you want it, but you cant' afford it.

then when you do financing you should be like, lets see how much is the difference per month for the navi vs non navi....and you should be like... how bout 31,000 for the navi...and of course they goin to say, they wont even bother asking manager because that price is crazy low, then you should say please try 31,500. And they will go try and come back 10 min later with a cheaper price

hopefully.
