Well, it's been a long time coming... I've had my eye on the TLX for months!!
Almost all of the Acura dealership websites I visit don't list an e-mail address. They include a phone # or a "Contact Us" web form that I can fill out. Does anyone know what the best way to get their e-mail address, or should I just use their "Make an Inquiry" form?
I have my e-mail drafted and ready. I'm letting them know which trim / package I want, my desired pickup date, that I am pre-approved for financing but open to going through AFS, and that I am reaching out to many local dealers in the area but going with the lowest out-the-door price offer. Or should I leave that part out? (The part about me reaching out to many dealers in the area)
Another thing that could work against me is that the earliest I can pick up the car in person is July 1st. Could this date relieve some of the pressure they have to hit monthly sales quota (i.e. June) and work against me in price? Is it common to finalize the sale over the phone before inspecting the car in person?
Any other negotiating advice is welcome! (I've already received a bunch from dshi123). Hope to be a real member of the TLX family soon.
tl;dr - what is the best way to obtain the dealer's e-mail? include in email that I am reaching out to multiple dealers - Y/N?
