Hey guys, i am picking the car tomorrow evening. For the ones that dont know me, https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...ighlight=total

I got a check from insurance for $16,500 for my flooded 2003 tls with 89,000miles. Taking advantage of the good pricing and the special finance they have at 4.9%. $36,500 before tax OK?

Let the mods BEGIN!

Within the first month:
1) 20% tint all around
2) intake (which one?)
3) Yellow HID fogs

6MT i hope??? i personally hate 20% tint...had it on my 05 and i couldn't see shit....i might go with 35%...look classy...and still beable to see...cause the back up camera is kinda scary if your using it as a refrence to the sides...instead of distance..

So is that 36,500 with doc fee and such?

I am being told invoice on a 08 TL-S is $35,757 and my dealer is willing to sell me a 07 TL-S for $34,998 or a new 08 for $35,757 + $500 and he'll throw in the trunk liner, splash guards and wheel locks, after a great dela of hasse, but my friend and I bought TL there last year. So I woudl say $35,500 is a decent deal, I assume they are puttinga doc fee on top of that?

congratz man ... everything happens for a reason ... im sure your gonna love ur third gen a lot more then your second gen

suno2koo

thanks guys.

Going to pick it up later today or early tomorrow when it comes in. I hate going into the finance office and they force you to buy all these little options or you need to buy this or that in order to get a good interest rate. Any suggestions? I dont wanna pay over $40k. Car is $36,500 before tax and papers.

Just say NO to everything he/she offers.

If they rape you on the interest rate- tell them to give you a better rate or you will secure your own financing and threaten to kill the deal.

Acura has 4.9% for 60 months through 9/4 I beleive.

You don't have to buy shit you don't want too. BTW I would call around other lots, because I found plenty of dealers who were selling the Aspec Kit already installed for nothing extra. Apparently because they were shipped from the factory like that. I wish I just had known all that before I actually bought mine. Oh well, best of luck and just play their game and don't put up with any b/s. You can walk out anytime you want

suno2koo

oh shit..for real, i want the Aspec kit. But i'm $500 deposited already? Can i still get it back?

Evader

Is it a refundable deposit? Check their lot to see if they have any 2007's with the Kit and ask him what kind of deal you would get on that. I know you're set on an 08 but you can always see the numbers for the 07 and then ask him what kinda deal for the kit on the 08. It's all a negotiating game, I buy a new car every 3 years and I don't put up with any bs from the salesman or the finance manager. DO NOT let them think they are doing you a favor, assuming you are not in the middle of the sahara i'm sure there are many other dealers around you can go too instead. My salesman at Precision was the only salesman I could honestly say I would have a personal friendship with outside of the dealer. If they don't want to deal with you, tell him you already have an offer from Precision Acura of princeton and you'll take the drive down there if you have to.

Evader

damn! I had a phone call and too much time elapsed to edit:

you can always call my contact at precision and see what kind of deal he will give you

609-895-0600 ask for Saad

Tell him Brad Johnson NBP TL-S sent you!

suno2koo

Thanks! i'll give him a call later.

Congratulations on the new ride.

Sorry about the circumstanses but every cloud has a silver (one in this cas WDP) lining.

Hope you can replace the rest of your flooded stuff without too much trouble.

Nukeman

Good Luck,,,and that's a good price..

suno2koo

I called Saad. Very nice guy. The price of 36,500 in NY is a very good price and he cant even match that price in NJ. He said its a good deal. So i bought mine in NY.

suno2koo

Picked it up on Thursday night. They rushed me to pick it up that night, everything was fine but they didnt have time to detail it! So i finally cleaned it up today and posted some pics.
