There is a 2012 TL Tech for sale when I live. The dealership is asking 42995 (canadian funds before tax) and there are 12604 km's on the vehicle.
What's your opinions on the price?
I have an '09 TL-SHAWD non tech with 68000 kms on it.

 

i paid less than that for a '12 tech with 8km. you got room to work with.

 

That is not a good deal at their asking price.

Figure - there is a $6,000 cash incentive on new 2012's right now. I checked the Balmoral Park Acura website in Thunder Bay as you didn't specify if it was the SH-AWD model or not - and I can see that it is... The MSRP is for the 2012 SH-AWD Tech was roughly $47,000 - $6,000 cash incentive = $41,000. Then you can negotiate off the MSRP (there is 8% dealer markup on Canadian TL's) - so another roughly $3,750. They will take $500 over dealer cost, so you'd be looking at $37,750 plus $2,000 in freight - or $39,750. And that's brand new.

Your problem will be finding one - 2012's are few and far between now and if you can find one, you may not get your preferred colour.

I got my 2012 Elite with extended warranty, protection package, rear splash guards, wheel locks and dealer tint for a fair bit less than what they are asking...

I would see what new 2012's they have or can get for you. Use the price of a new one with the incentive as I described above as your leverage - and then determine what is fair compensation for the mileage the vehicle has on it currently. That's what I did and it worked quite well in my favour.

 

Do the cash incentives still apply with a trade in though?

 

No, the cash incentive does not apply to used but would apply to a demo or executive demo so long as it hasn't been registered.

I did notice Balmoral shows new 2012's in their online inventory. You should see what kind of deal you can get on new with the $6K incentive...

 

sounds overpriced with that many Km's on it. End of the year, they're trying to move the car out. I purchased my 2010 for $43K, 6spd manual A-SPEC model with ZERO km's on it in the GTA.

Unless you need a new one, it's not worth trading it in. Dealers make money on trade ins, and selling new cars!

BTW, it was probably a loaner car for when you and others bring theirs in for service and warranty. I know how loaners are driven (I also get loaners) and it ain't always nice (kinda like a prostitute, been around the block with many drivers)

Just my two cents!

 

Yeah I think that's what I'm going to do. I'll see what they'll give me on a trade in on my '09....although I have 70,000 km on it. I sent an email to the sales mngr at the dealership. He said he'll work on it tomorrow so, I'll post back what he says.

 

Good luck and let us know how it goes. Just remember there is almost $4K in dealer mark up in a new 2012 SH-AWD, so you should expect a straight $6,000 Acura rebate plus an additional $3,500 in dealer discounting. Most will move a 2012 at $500 over cost without too much effort.

 

why trade to get the same car? Just pay off what you have and save your money!

 

$41,966 is what i was quoted for a price of the 2012 with $7000 in Acura rebates. I owe $21,400 on my '09, and I'm getting $23,000 on trade. So, with MSRP being $46,990 and the invoice price at around $43,000, I don't think this is too bad of a price....what do you think?

 

The price includes taxes and all that as well

 

I hope my PM and email help.

 

I sent a reply email a little while ago.....nobody is in much of a dealing mood this time of year......as surprising as that seems

 

If its Acura 2000 in Brampton run away as fast as you can and don't look back!

 

Picked up the '12 at Balmoral Park here at home. All worked out very well
