Im in the process of ordering All Season mats for my TL and was wondering where does everyone get their accessories from besides their local dealership? Is there a specific place that has discounted accesories?

 

ebay

 

http://www.handa-accessories.com/tl.html

 

Acura of Escondido
Curry Acura

Both are on Ebay and have decent pricing. If you look at the blackmarket in this forum, you may have some luck sometimes when someone is selling their set perhaps.
Or you can look for non-OEM ones as well.

 

 

kool. I might just give Curry Acura a call since they are a few miles from me.
Thanks.

 

Call em...but check ebay too because they sell there too....their pricing on ebay might be cheaper...often this is the case.

 

Another vote for eBay. More specifically, Acura of Escondido's store on eBay.

 

go to ebay i got all season mats OEM w/TL logo and trunk tray for $70.00 evrything complete.

 

I got some of my accessories from that site. I think its cheaper.

 

ok i'll do that as well. thanks

 

I jotted down some prices for accessories from handa and took it to my local dealer to see if they could match it... Since I'd just dropped a bundle on a car from them. They said the prices I had written down were about $5 above their cost and there was no way they could even come close.

I vote for HandA... Quick shipping too

 

And of course I hope you told them that you were POSITIVE that they are totally and completely full of shit! These dealers parts dept need to figure out that their margins are no longer what they were once in light of the internet age. They are totally out of line about 99.5% of the time. Ya right....Handa is only making $5....thats how they pay for their web hosting,ect...$5 at a time...right! My dealer even told me point blank - "we are not in the business to negotiate parts pricing whatsoever" - and that was right before he negotiated parts pricing? After that...I got EVERYTHING from Acura of Escondido or Curry Acura both on ebay.....and Handa web site. All with very positive results and GREAT response time!

I was more than proud to take my new "pimped out" TL into the service dept after having all the stuff installed elsewhere at my first oil change and pointing out on the thousands of dollars they lost out in sales.....and questioning their marketing strategies and their lack of acknowledgment of the internet pricing from other ACURA DEALERS? They stated that dealers in CA have way more volume and get better pricing that they cannot meet....(another bullshit statement they dole out to dumbshits that will listen and believe it) I just said....dude, in the internet age.....you guys better find another way of making money or some other product to market...cause you just dont get it! No kidding...I can buy almost ANYTHING cheaper from A of E on ebay and pay shipping and still be WAY under what my dealer thinks they should get (Ed Martin Acura in Indianapolis....clueless!). I might note...most likely the pricing you see that states LIST on Handa (not what they will sell for) is most likely the retail list cost for that part...although I dont think they list the kit as a whole. That you would have to check with somebody at the dealer.

 

Acura of Escondido's Ebay store. Everything you need, good prices and very professional to deal with.
