Just a couple of pics I took w/ the camera phone while I was picking up the new beast at the dealership today.



Ok.. having some problems sharing the flickr site and I am too n00b here to upload photos. Unfortunately, you are just gonna have to use your imagination on how sexy the ASM is while I work out these technical difficulties.

I originally went and started looking at the used cars, and dealt with Tony as the used car manager. They had a 2010 w/ 25k miles on it for $4500 less than the new one I picked up. They weren't willing to budge on the price so I balked and dealt with Victor and bought the car new.

How often do you go here that you know them this well, lol?

I got it for a couple hundred better than what truecar.com showed. Also, I put $17k down and did the 3 year at 0.9%. I think the payments are $750, I didn't really care at the point in the game and wasn't paying much attention to the payment amount.

When i was looking to trade in I went everywhere. I got to know some of the dealers very well. I am one of the customers from hell.

750 a month is super freaking high. I just did the numbers and seems like you got it just a little under retail. I used the Acura.com calculator. Plugged in your numbers and used their preselected price for your TL SH-AWD with Tech Package.

How about that photo shoot?

I love Silver cars. I got the Grey one because the "Fixed Silver" wasn't available yet.

I think you neglected TTL as I paid well below MSRP and even invoice. I borrowed over $20,000 with payments over 36 months. What would you expect the payment to be? I think my total interest charges for the 3 years was less than $400 and I used the extra cash I had to pay off my school loans completely, which were at a higher rate.

Its all good man. Whats up with the shoot? I think it would be like a recreated Acura TL commercial. You know the one with the two cars.

I don't understand- is this color now available in the US? I didn't think it was on Acura's website.

Love the car though. That color+SH-AWD+Tech would be my combination also.

The color is available in the US and from what I was told I was the first sale in NJ. I found out the color was available by accident when I inquired if there was a similar color available for the TL that was on the ZDX I was standing next to.

Clean ride man, thanks for sharing. I enjoyed test driving the 2012 AWD/Tech back in April of this year. Very smooth. Enjoy!

the ASM does look nice on the 2012... your car looks great too... hope you plan on getting the underbody spoiler

i do, however, like the Palladium Metallic a little more... wonder how it would look on the 2012

^^^^

Maybe it's because I'm examining the pictures on my phone or because of the lack of lighting but I can't tell the difference between PM and ASM?

This is the same silver as the Canadian "Alabaster silver metallic".

I guess it is called "Silver moon" in the US.

so real silver is available in US now? great...It's probably still very limited since it's not even listed on Acura's website yet. I still have a 3 months before my currrent lease expires so hopefully it'll be available by then.
