What Did You Pay For Deck Lid?

I'm picking up my car tomorrow and just called the dealer to tell him to install the Deck Lid Spoiler. I tried to negotiate as hard as I could, even acting like I wouldn't take it at the price he gave me....He wouldn't budge!! His price was $458 installed. I told him I could get the part online for $315 and that I knew installation would not cost me more than $85 (probably less)...I pushed him hard to meet me half way between the $315 and the MSRP of $399...that way we both win. No dice!! He said the $458 was their "Internal Cost" and what HE would pay if he was doing it. I don't buy that at all...

Anyway, I can't believe I'm paying $458 for a little strip of nothing, but whatever...

Don't pay for it if he won't budge. There are plenty of Acura dealers in the tristate area. He tried to rip you off because its all profit to him, the extra cost.

Yeah man, but I guess you already purchased it. Next time, buy the cheaper one and then negotiate with only the service guy for installation. Or call the next closest Acura dealer.

Here in Lost Angeles (back when I was actually going to buy a TL) I was able to 'negociate' the deck-lid onto the selling price (MSRP). Keep pushing.
