I'd double check on that. Because the offer for the 2k cash back is for the dealer. Like it's not on acura's website.

The financing deal is with you. I wonder what happens if you tell them fine I'll take 4% through my CU then....

PSURob12

You can get 4% through your CU? The CU I used to belong to says as low as 4.75% for 60 months...I applied yesterday so hopefully I can rejoin and get approved ASAP.

Well I was just throwing a number out there. I may be able to do but I have stock in it . But regardless dealer doesn't need to knwo it.

They might rather have any financing rather then none...

If not, I think Bank of America has sub 5% rates on 60 month new car loan

PSURob12

I have applied several places, and I think the fact this is my first car loan is killing me. Places advertising < 5% check my score, it is above 760, and yet they still don't give me the best advertised rate. Looks like I'll be doing the 2.9 for 60 with acura financing....if they even let me.

Mike00

Was about to post how that was surprising then saw that this is your first car loan.

Do you not have a big credit history?

PSURob12

I have 2 credit cards i pay in full every month, and I've paid off student loans, before the length of the loan was served. I was a bit suprised. Oh well, hopefully acura will qualify me for the 2.9 so I don't have to worry about it.

PSURob12

Well I got the 2.9% and take delivery Tuesday. Not as good as the cash back price obviously, but below "invoice" and the TMV that edmunds lists. Saves a few bucks a month when compared to the cash.

I can't wait! WDP crew here I come!

I got mine yesterday for 33.8K before TTL and I used BofA financing for 5 years at 4.69%. If I wanted to use 2.9% deal, I would have to pay higher price (no cash back) so my payment would have been higher. Especially since Fed is cutting interest rates every month nowadays, it will be easier to refinance at lower rate so I would recommend having lower principal balance.

PSURob12

Well what color?!

YanN1ck

I wanted to get silver at the beginning to match my MDX but after I saw it, I didn't like it with stock rims. They had CBP sitting next to it and I really liked that color so I got that. I had two black cars before and I cannot handle another to keep it clean long enough ;-)

Congrats!!!

I ended up going with the white diamond pearl and pick it up tuesday.

Psu- where did you get yours from?

lldknyll26

I went to the dealer and test drove 08 tl-s (btw i'm in nY). They first offered 39K. I was thinking to myself (are they fucking BullSh*ting?) Then 38K, Then 36k, 35k, 34K and later the final offer they gave me was $33,800. I knew it was a good offer but I told them that i wanted to check out the other dealers and see if they can do better. Not sure if that was a smart move becaues that was the best price offer i've gotten so far. When i called up the other dealers in the tristate, they said they can do better by slightly, guessing 33,500? Who knows. So am i getting a good deal? should i continue searching for better price? Also when they give a price, does that include destination charge?

schill38

I purchased mine for 34,300 and thought I was getting a great deal, then they told me that DID NOT include destination charge, so I walked out the door at 34,900, but that was in UT and we only have 2 dealers with limited inventory, so I'm sure that you can get under 34 including destination.

joeybabyluvsu

Just had mine ordered and still waiting...sticker price was 38,900...have only 2 dealerships near my area...Rochester NY...got it for 36500....I PAID TOO MUCH I THINK....I put down 5k so far but still have to finance and put more money down when the car comes in...What should I say or do to get more for my money? I have signed the car purchase already...lots of help would be great guys thanks!

lldknyll26

I used to sell cars. Nothing is final until you take delivery. If you did not get the car you can change your mind!!

KeithL

Invoice on the car is $35,832 and there is $2k kick back from Acura right now. Also the holdback to delaer is around $750 on a Type-S so once you go below $33,800 you are eating into their holdback then their doc fee (profit). $33,500 is a good deal. That's about where I am right now on my offer, still going back and forth between another Type-S or a G35. G35 is runinng about $500 under invoice right now plus has 2.9% financing.

KeithL

You could screw up your financing so they can't get you financing, tell them you're unemployed or somehting see if the financing goes through that could cancel the deal for you. At that point you'll need to find a new dealer.

BLKURA

I just got serious about looking for an 08. I have a 96 vette I need to unload and my DD(04) Taco. My pickup is killing me on gas and I've been admiring the TL's for a few years. Looking back, I'd wished I purchased a TL in 04 then my truck.

joeybabyluvsu

I have money down on the vehicle and am just waiting for them to get the vehicle on the lot...kinetic blue is very hard to find...I want to ask for more off the car since i have not financed yet....wonder if even that is possible??? I have only signed 1 paper so we will see.....

COME ON!!! Don't you know by now that all of us 08 Type S guys got their cars for like $30,000??!! I actually paid $27,000 + TTL.........cause the dealer accidentally thought it was a TSX!!! (The stories go on and on and on and on) OMG. WTF.

Sheeeeeesh. Let's get serious people.

The INVOICE IS $35,832 on an 08 Type S.
The HOLD BACK (which you may/may not get into) is roughly 3% of THE MSRP.
Factory to Dealer CASH $$$$ is running $2,000 on a PURCHASE (not a lease)

WHY OH WHY.........would a dealer GIVE AWAY A $38,940 car for $33,000 OTD?????
Get serious. We all know that is BS BS BS BS BS BS BS BS. Maybe $33,832 + TTL.

IF YOU CAN GET THE DEALER UNDER/AT $35,832 (B4 cash back)........you are doing GREAT.
