Chicagoland TL with Tech Lease

Written by: jahlberg on Jul 21, 2009 07:25 PM

I have been trying to get a dealer to work with me for weeks but none of them seem to care. I had one dealer do the old game of needing to come in to get the pricing and reluctantly gave me a lease quote but it was good for only a few hours. I told him no thanks. I had another dealer than has 25 TL Tech’s in inventory ignore my emails asking for a lease quote and I did go there last ... Read More...

I can tell you this. There are a number of dealers in South Fla (Acura) and I had very negative experiences with most. I was finished until I talked to a salesman who really made the deal happen. One dealer called me today. They never called me back with a price and when I finally got somebody on the phone this dealer told me they do cap cost leases only. Story changed ... Read More...

I agree that the taupe is easier to keep clean. Am also comparing the TL to the ES 350, to replace an old RL. Want to consider the TSX for mileage purposes but lease prices went up substantially in the past two weeks and the ride is very stiff. Sound like your leaning toward the TL? Read More...

TTAC article on TL inventory (this is a very bad seller for Acura, with an equally bad review from TTAC): Docherty’s comparison to the Acura TL is, shall we say, invidious. The TL is a dog, with a 100-day supply on the ground. http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/gm-plans-to-over-supply-new-buick-lacrosse/ Review of TL (one out of five stars): http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/review-2009-acura-tl-sh-awd/ Read More...

I have had the Parchment in my 1999 Mazda Millennia and my 2003 TLS with zero problems.I am not knocking the Taupe but there is a Demo on the Dealers Lot for sale right now and it looks pretty beat up.I have two small children and I let them know that there is no eating in Daddy's car.

The taupe is not as dirt prone as parchment. I've had a variety of interior colors and parchment/tan gets dirty the fastest and the worst. Taupe/grey, for whatever reason does not show dirt as easily as tan. Even the ES350 demo we drove in tan was already scuffed. Read More...

The AWD does not come in Parchment only Ebony, Umber and Taupe. Personally, I think the Taupe is way too light and that could spell disaster for someone with small children. Read More...
