Talking My 2011 SH-AWD Tech deal...

Long time member/lurker...

First I wanted to thank all my fellow members for the valuable information on this forum. A couple months ago I knew it was the "right" time to jump on a 2011 TL. Coming out of a 2G, the value and performance of this brand is one of the best in its class.

Test drove the FWD and AWD and then the decision was easy

Next I wanted to nail down the color combo, black on taupe. That was a challenge! Especially to find one a dealer was willing to negotiate on

Unfortunately my local dealer was not willing to be aggressive in selling or getting the color combo I wanted. I then came across Duval Acura in Jacksonville. Let me tell you they literally bent over backwards to make this deal with me. If you ever consider buying a car over the net, I can easily recommmend these guys from sales to management to the finance office. No hassle and the truth, I was shocked!

My car came with the following OEM UNINSTALLED (per my request) options:

Full body kit
Front/rear sport trim
Remote start
All weather/trunk mats

Duval had the car shipped to my door from another dealer in VA.

Sales price: $35,880
(Keep in mind I used $1500 loyalty cash for owning a 2G)

The options were another $1720

Total: $37,600

Extra special thanks goes to 6SpdTerror, I was armed with plenty of info
I was thinking to lease it, but the 0.9% was too good to pass up!


Once I got the car I added:

18 OEM wheels w/ 255-40-18 Pilot sport A/S (to help fill the wheel gaps)
3M Crystalline tint (makes a big difference)
Sent lights and tails to JnC for treatment

I still need to install the remote start and I might go for the H&R springs, other than that I am enjoying the hell out of this car!

Congrats SC. I just got H&R Sports Springs-love them. It really "finishes" the stance of the TL.

Enjoy!
