Need help buying new Acura

[Mott]

I am shopping or a new Acura and was wondering if there are any sites I can see what the dealership pays for the car and what I should be able to get off of the car. I am looking at a 2007 RL right now. Any tools or suggestions towards Acura cars woul dbe helpful. Looking to spend about 30k with no leather.

Unfortunately you can not see online what dealers pay for the car from the manufacturers.
But you can go to 3-4 different Acura dealerships and say well this one said $35,000... if you beat it i will buy it from you. Then they beat it... and you go to another dealer and do the process all over again. :D

lol! 30K for a new 07 RL? out of your price range, plus leather is standard, your only real options are 18" rims, A spec kit and bs like wheel locks and block heater cord..

30k you can get used TSX fully loaded

plus RL's are special order usually, the most stock of 07 RLs i can remember was 5 of them and those were the first ones we ever got.

couple things:

1. There is a site (forgot where) that tells you the approx price of what each dealer pays for their vehicles from the manufacturer, google it you might find it.
2. 2007 RL comes in one trim with leather only
3. You cant even buy a newer gen 2004 RL for 30K, let alone 2007.

pay service to get invoice pricing and dealer incentive information

Edmunds has Invoice Price for the US

I believe there is usually a 7-8% margin on basic cars like the a Civic or RSX but there is a bit more wiggle room for the higher up Luxury lines, 8-9% I think.

Options always have more of a markup as well so if they won't drop the price more maybe get a deal on some options.

Hmmm 45k in the US versus 65K in Canada. Maybe a good candidate to get in the States

I have walked in a few times and been offered 5% off without even mentioning carcostcanada. So I'd say there are discounts to be had.

A friend of mine was looking at the RL just a couple of weeks ago and ended up buying the TL Type-S. same engine, close to the same options and its less money. Drive the TL type-S before you get the RL:thumbsup:
