I ordered a 2015 TLX 4cyl base, Black on Black in NY as dealers only had 1 or 2 on lot that were being used for test drives. I was told it would be 30 days and I paid $30,400 with outside financing at 1.7% (Very difficult to negotiate and some dealers refused to even budge on the list price). They wanted a deposit, and I put $1,000 on 0% credit card. Just positing for information and any opinions on the deal, as family says I put too much of a deposit for a car that is on order. I am curious to see what the Acura gurus have to say on this. Thanks for any feedback.

My sales guy wanted 1000 down to get a White/Espresso V6 Advance. I'll start they buying process by month end. Just about everything I've seen says the dealers are not budging on the price, it's MSRP - loyalty money of 500 or 1000. No one is going to get anything near invoice for a while.

I only put $100 deposit on mine and I got $500 loyalty rebate.

That's why I say screw it, I'll talk to you in 6 months when all the fan boys got theirs. There is no reason to pay above invoice these days. This car was not made by God, not that it would matter.

What cars does God make? I should take a look before getting my TLX. :laugh:

I put $500 down. What is the loyalty rebate? I think I missed option before or during vacation.

If you own a Honda or Acura the dealer throws you a bone...500 bucks applied towards accessories and/or 1000 bucks off MSRP.

It might be worth it to ask someone you know to throw you own the ownership of the vehicle to save that $1500

Yes but God did create Economics, and Economics says that when demand outstrips supply, prices rise.

I understand what you're saying but there is always someone willing to go over and above for exclusivity. That being said, we have several members with orders in and one or two with the car I believe, none of them have mentioned price gouging...

I put down $250 for a 4 cyl, with Tech package (graphite with Graystone int) that is coming off the production line this week. Paid $500 over invoice, signed contract.

Did you get to test drive one first?

Good idea in car ownership and marriage.

Safe to say they paid close to MSRP, minus whatever loyalty dealer threw at them.
