Whats the best dealership with the top pricing in the dc area including southern & western VA and MD?

 

I purchased my TL in June from Criswell Acura in Annapolis. At the time, they offered the best pricing in the MD area, and the staff was great.

 

I was happy with Radley Acura (Columbia Pike at Bailey's Crossroads). It probably helped that my father bought a TSX in May from the same salesman, though.

 

Paid $2100 under MSRP for a Navi last Friday at Tischer Acura in Laurel. Don't know if most/every dealer does this but they included wheel locks, free lifetiime car washes, a VIP discount card with a starting balance of $50 towards any service/accessory, and a custom-made shiny gold Acura keychain (guess Acura used to provide them but stopped). Didn't know about any of the 'extras' until after agreeing on the price.

Why did you not buy from Norris?

 

I almost did. Norris is 5 miles from my house and Tischer is about 15. Norris had the same color combo on their showroom floor and offered $2K off MSRP right off the bat but they didn't sound like they'd go much lower. The decision was actually based on the fact that I've purchased from both Tischer Nissan and Norris Nissan in the past and the experience at Tischer was far better, both from a sales and service perspective. Perhaps Norris Acura is better than Tischer Acura -- don't know, but I really liked the way I was treated at Tischer.

Hey , I'm not too sure what most people paid but I know I had to go to Jersey (feb. 04 ) too purchase my TL I do not know if dealers in the area have since dropped the price but I Paid 33K for my NBP/NAVI ! Its towards the end of the year so chances are you'll get a good deal ( if you havent already ) . The 2.5 hour drive home was well worth it

 

What part of MD are you in . . . if you have a TS you might want to stop buy Germantown to the Dept. Of Energy . . . It may require a Q clearance but they'll work with you ! I'll ask around

 

Im in Silverspring, not to far from there.

 

I will ask around for you ! You should not have a prob with any job being that you have a clearance . . . You should shop it on Monster or something like that ! One advantage of working at DOE is that if you have a Q , just about any one will be happy to take you . Hint Hint !

 

I just picked up my TL non-NAVI from Tischer in Laurel for about $2100 under MSRP. They threw in splash guards (they happened to be on the car already).

I like Tischer. This is my second TL. I bought from the same sales guy I had in 2001.

I'm an IT guy with TS as well.

whats a Q never heard of that one before?

 

I ended up buying in NJ back in March. Tischer was willing to talk but then backtracked on the thier deal. Pohanka and Radley wanted MSRP + and Criswell said they could not get (or order) my desired color combo.

With a TS and an IT background you should do fine. I spent 8 years in the NAVY as an IT guy, got out in 97 and have never had a problem getting a job. No matter waht you do, don't let your TS expire.

 

I'll throw in my 2 cents on Norris, since someone asked about them.

I leased an '01 CL from them but nearly scrapped the deal when they tried to change terms at the last minute. I was not pleased. Still, their service dept was great for three years, so I gave them first shot at my repeat business to lease an '04 TL. This was back in March and no one in MD/DC was dealing much, but you could still get $1000 or so off MRSP. Well, the sales guy at Norris gave me an initial lease quote that was ridiculously high, something like an extra $2000 ABOVE MRSP. I guess they thought they had a leasing sucker on their hands. After I balked he lowered the price to a "really special deal" that was, at best, slightly above MRSP. I left and have never returned.

I leased from Frankel, which matched an offer I got on-line from Rosenthal. Both of those dealerships responded to me in a very straight-up manner, but Frankel is much closer. Can't comment on their service yet.
