What's the over/under for the 4G TL to top out at over 40K (AWD w/Tech)?

Not including kits, rims and accessories?

39K? Anyone? Anyone?

41K? Anyone? Anyone?

 

Under without destination, over with. My SWAG (Scientific Wild Assed Guess) is $39,775 for AWD Tech without destination.

 

Acura has a Press Release on 2009 Model Pricing.

http://www.hondanews.com/categories/794/releases/4609

 

Information about 2009 TL Pricing. Maybe red text was implied....

 

I'm betting on at LEAST 41K MSRP. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if it was 42-43K. Think about it...a loaded TSX MSRP is $35K. If a loaded TL is only 39K, why would you consider a TSX when a loaded TL is only 4K more?

 

Yeah. Sorry, couldn't resists.

Hence the :wish and :big grin .

 

The RL didn't go up in price at all, and the TSX very little so there is hope.

 

True...are these acurate prices for the current car?

 

the RL is the "same" car, meaning it was only a MMC so it didn't justify a price change. TSX is still a entry lux, with a lower HP engine. The TL straight up got bumped from 3.5 to 3.7 liters, displacing nearly 22 hp more base, and 52 some on the AWD model, it does justify an increase in price. Let's not forget the "new model" pricing, you're looking at at least 40,000 to start on the AWD.

 

So for you a price increase is justified because it got a HP bump? The TL was getting overpriced for its category. Increasing it more isnt going to help. Its becoming out of reach for many who liked the acura brand for its value. It no longer has that.

 

TL AWD with Tech is $39,850... U hear it here 1st...

 

great post. Thank you. here is some of my thought.
compaq

 

Woot that pretty cheap. Consdering bmw and other cars. This car it worth much more then 45k thats what i think. Even the current 3g tl is worth more then 40k, thank god acura knows economy is bad so they don't make prices to high.

 

65k

 

Lol thats crazy.

 

I think I heard the pricing was $38,650 MSRP - $1,000 ugly grill instant discount.

 

Swung by the dealer myself today and spoke to a gentleman who said they're guesstimating the AWD model at about 38k....

 

The 3.5 base 35k

The 3.5 Technology 37.5k

The 3.7 AWD base 39.5k

The 3.7 Technology and 19" 43k.
Not less.

 

Loaded SH-AWD I suspect will be right at $40K, I woudlexpect the base car to go up about $2K so loaded non-SHAWD shoudl be aroun $38K and then I would guess $2K-$3K for SH-AWD.

 

09 TSX I beleive is about $1800 more than an 08.

 

Guys if the TL type-S was 38K MSRP, this SH-AWD 3.7L 4G TL should retail at least 2K more.

 

I'll guess a little higher;

TL = 35600
TL Tech = 38700
TL SH-AWD = 38300
TL SHaWD Tech = 41400

 

im thinking something around 41k fully loaded if thats the case i will be moving to lexus or bmw...

 

I'm certainly agree with the previous post. If TL really price over 40k (with that ugly grill), I will move to Lexus or other eu cars like Audi/BMW.

 

Well, then expect to pay $50K+ for a comparable car.

 

i was told taht after tax title and all that crap, close to 48k -- give or take

 

Not necessary 50K+, even with 40ish K, you can find a solid performance/luxury car.

 

This thread is not about what you or anyone else will get if the 4GTL is x amounts of money. Keep it on topic and stop cluttering the OP's thread with off topic posts.

 

Then I would guess that you could probably tack on $8 - $10K or so extra for Canadian prices. Considering that MSRP for a 6MT TL-S is $46 500 plus $1825 for PDI....we'd be looking at $50K +++ MSRP for the top o' the line TL.

I wonder what the (hopefully) up and coming TL-S will retail for?

 

ok - so lets suppose the new 3.7L TL SH-AWD is going to have an MSRP at or over 40k. supposed it's 41-42k MSRP.

well the current 08 TL-S was selling at invoice for the past 6-12 months at least..and with the crummy economy - people aren't lining up to spend big money. I have been shopping on/off for a car for the past 6 months and the TL-S can be had at invoice MINUS the incentives.

my question is - will Acura demand MSRP on the new TL or will they soon start goign down toward invoice?

for people like me - who are ont he fence about buying a TL now - or waiting for the new one - if I KNEW that I would have to pay almost $42-43k to buy a 3.7L AWD TL - OR I can pay about 33k NOW to get the outgoing 08 - i think i'd opt to save almost 10k...and wait a few years to see how the new car pans out..

but if they are goign to only bump up msrp by a couple grand and then start selling at or near invoice - waiting might be worth it... if the cost was only marginally higher.

what kind of "deals" are they doing on the new TSX? it's a newly released redesigned car...is Acura caving in on pricing and selling at invoice or are they goign at/near MSRP?

what do you all predict Acura will do with selling prices on the new TL?

anyone know what the curb weight is on the new car? all this talk about 330hp is crap if they have porked the car out and it gained 300+ lbs... i want to hear 0-60 and 1/4 mile times or curb weights.. just saying it has 330 hp means diddly if you don't know what it weighs. from the photos it "looks" bigger...making me think it has gained weight..

so maybe while it's more powerful than the outgoin car - will it really be an FASTER???
