Because you said so?

Go try to pay $100 over invoice and see how well you do on the 2012 TL Advance.

He and I have similar sigs so perhaps you say mine? He apparently paid $100 less than I did.

So what would be a good price to aim for on a 2012 TL SH-AWD with Tech?

Oops! My bad completely! Yes, I got you two confused.... sorry! Anyway, you did have a phenomenal deal for the Advance model!!! I got mine in Canada - the price was higher to start with and there was very little wiggle room for negotiation.... sigh! Still, I got what I wanted and so I am happy! :-)

Anyway, if you have pics, that would be wonderful! Thanks.

People must either be real suckers in Seattle to pay the adjustment or have too much dispensable income or live above their means. Either way the car isn't worth the adjustment. By the year end will be available near dealer cost.

What in the world is a "market adjustment"?

There are too many other fine cars on the market to chose from. What this particular dealer is doing is saying “to bad, GFY” to those loyal buyers of Acura. Anyone else would walk out the door and not return.
