almost two years ago I got brand new tln for $30,300 +ttl and dealer shared (not voluntary ) his hold back money with me - this sounds like a better deal - good luck!

anymoo, it's tax, title, & license.

No i wasn't kidding. And yes i have bought a new car before.... about 4 years ago I bought a new Honda Accord EX V6. But I don't recall using such terms we would simply use OTD or the Out The Door price aka the total price paid for the car to have the right to drive it out end of story.

hashrock said:While I agree that ~30k OTD is a fantastic price on a brand new TL, type S, or otherwise. You should take into account that Acura went through a substantial redesign for the 09 TL - the 4th generation of the model, which will substantially knock down the resale for the 3rd gen a few years down the road. For example do a search on your local CL or a popular auction site and take a look at the difference in price between the 03 TL (last year of the 2nd gen) and the 04 TL. Both had similar MSRPs when new, but the relative difference in listed prices are staggering. But if you're getting a TL for the long haul, there are few that can compete with the car or the deal. I've got a 1st gen TL that's 230k miles strong and I might be ready to give it up for a sweet deal on an 08.

Redesigns are not always good. Take for instance the '03 Maxima and the '04 Maxima. Which one would you rather have? The '03 of course, the '04 (Gen 6) redesign is ugly as hell. Today, the '03 Maxima (Gen 5) commands top dollar. The '09 redesign, however, is a big improvement but still IMO doesn't have the appeal of the Gen 5. I think wraparound headlights and taillights (especially on that new Altima) is about as interesting as Richard Simmons' striped shorts. (which isn't interesting at all)

Let's just hope Honda doesn't redesign anything to look like their disastrous Accord. I was sitting next to a Accord Coupe the other day thinking about how g*ddam ugly it is, and how I would be ashamed to own an Accord or any car that looks like one.

wow. um... wow.

it's comparing apples and oranges... mpg is not the TL's strong suit. but it wins out in so many other ways. i really hope ur kidding with this comment.What else would I want a 2 wheel drive car for? If it's not getting great gas mileage, whats the point? Is a smooth ride and extra performance worth an extra $10k? Besides looks and performance, what can this car offer me that I'm not already getting from my corolla? The acura isn't exactly a veyron.

A chance at some p-tang because it doesn't seem like you have anything else going for you.

Sorry but if this deal is not for you, stop $h!tting in this thread and move on. A $7k discount is huge for those that are considering a new car.

Last week sometime, a member posted a very vague thread about a clearance deal on 2008 Acura TLs. It was subsequently closed and moved to the black hole of FW. Well, I am going to continue where this member left off.

Do you browse SD too? There a thread about the TL in SD, maybe you were thinking about that. 2 people said they got the TL-S for $27.5K and $28K OTD, but I think it's BS.

Not BS. One of my co-workers just bought a 08 type TL-S for $28k.

Can you find out where he got this deal? was that an out the door price with all fees and taxes included? If it is, it's an amazing buy!

btw, with the large discounts on practically everything, people with $ are raking in the best things for so much less. broke folks like me wanna, but canna.

Most ppl around me(I live in OC, CA) love the way new accord looks. Even my youngest sister who has great sense of fashion loves it more than any other car design. But then again I said the same thing u guys said about 2000 Civic. It ended up selling well. oh well, We will see how many accord gets sold for new model.

Back to topic: Great Price on TL! My mom got a 2003 TL after driving a 2006 Corolla. She loves it and will never go back to Corolla. So much easier to pick up kids. So much smoother and easier to drive. Definitely worth the extra gas for her.

He11 of a deal. 2009 is the ugliest design on these Acuras that I have ever seen. Current Accord or Camry look much better. BTW I am an Acura fan (will skip 09 though).

I think I got it... Tax Title and License plate? perhaps.
