Hey guys I went to my local dealer today to test drive a '12 fully loaded tl. The actual car I drove was a tech AWD but I felt a noticeable difference with the 6 gear as opposed to the 5 in my 09 and the suspension felt better around corners, apparently acura stiffened up the suspension for the '12 tl's which i wasnt aware of. Anyway, I negotiated down to an even $43k for a black on black sh-awd advance with full bodykit and 19" hpt wheels/tires and $20.5k trade in for my 09 awd tech with 55k miles (its had some bodywork done from a couple minor accidents, deer and parking lots dont like me). Am i getting a good deal? I feel like $43k is pretty good for fully loaded since the sticker would be about $47xxx after the body kit. Any help is appreciated. thanks

 

I think you can do better on the trade-in unless there is paint mismatch from the body work. On the 2012, you can definitely do better.

 

any other opinions??

 

Seems a little on the high side for the '12 and the low side for your trade-in.

You might try checking prices on True Car and Edmunds and trying other dealers by phone/email.

I think you can do better. Good luck.
