As the title states, I plan on purchasing the 4G TL but I have no plans on paying a penny over invoice. How long do people estimate till they start moving them at my demand? I ordered my 06 @ invoice in Nov of 05 with many 05's still on the lot. I know it was 2 years after the introduction of the 3rd gen TL, my question is how long did it take people to get an 04 or 05 @ invoice?

Well that depends on how hot the car sells when released. I bout an 04 6 months after theyy were out and most dealers were not giving big discounts. I actually expect the same for the G37 sedan for a few months, so I'll keep my 08 Type-S for a while until I can get a G37 for invoice.

Acura's generally don't have problems getting their cars out. Mostly because they don't produce as much as some other companies. I think usually after 6 months you can get them closer to invoice. not until the next year can you get them really cheap.

Has anyone seen the firm pricing yet on the 09' TL FWD or SHAWD?

A little off topic but I just noticed your signature, you sound like me, except with TLs, I had something similar going on with Maximas and Altimas

2003 Maxima SE Titanium Edition Glacier Pearl/Grey Lthr (1st)
2005 Altima 3.5SE 5Spd Satin White/Black Lthr (2nd)
2005 Altima 3.5SE Navigation/Auto/Sheer Silver/Black Lthr (3rd)
2003 Maxima SE Titanium Edition Glacier Pearl/Grey Lthr (4th)
2003 Maxima SE 6spd Base Super Black/Black Cloth (5th)
2003 Maxima SE Titanium Edition Glacier Pearl/Grey Lthr (6th)

Damn I've met my match! Do love the 09 MAxima, not as much as a G37 Sedan, but like where Nessan has been heading.

Yea I didn't like where nissan was heading for a minute (after 2007) , but me like the 09 Maxima. Not enough to trade my 05TL though.

based on the external looks of the car; and all the competition in the space; my guess is 6 weeks after the car is released

I agree, Honda does not whore itself with overcapacity and give-a-away rebates

I'm thinking about doing the same thing.

^Depending on how much gas goes up in the coming months, you may not have to wait too long. I personally couldn't give too much of a damn about gas prices b/c I don't drive as much as I used to, so fuel economy doesn't really affect me much. But I will say that if you go to a big chain-store dealer, a volume retailer, you'll probably not have to negotiate much to get it at a very good price, even if it is a new model.

I remember Kearny Mesa Lexus in San Diego offered me a fully-loaded IS350 back in Jan '06 for several thousand dollars off MSRP (not list) and that was when they had only 1 IS350 left in stock. They could offer me the pricing, even as a would-be first-time customer, only because they had the volume and allocation to get good deals from Lexus.

I'd imagine that the Penske Infiniti dealer could give you the same.

I imagine it will be a while as most dealers still have a decent amount of 2008 models, so there is no need for them to discount the 2009's.

Well the way the economy is headed below MSRP and close to invoice may not be that far off!! I suspect the SH-AWd will be a long way out since I suspcet they won't build a lot of them.

Funny, but it's the SH-AWD version I'm waiting for.
