They make a few. [inspectoring]

And unfortunately, that's pretty much the case: nobody is buying the RL anymore. It's a terrific car, but several things brought it down: •People with nearly $50k to spend wanted a bigger car, a bigger name, rear wheel drive, and a V8. The RL has none of these. It was designed in Japan for Japanese executive buyers' wants, and didn't fit American tastes as well as the Lexus and Infiniti flagships. •The Acura TL was cheaper by $15,000, and so good that nobody -- not even Acura salesmen -- could really make the case for paying more. In fact, the RL was better built from better materials, rode better and had the world's most sophisticated AWD system. But that's all subtle stuff and didn't impress the neighbors. •Acura overreacted for 2009 and slaughtered the styling of the car, most notably with its buck-tooth grille that everybody hates. That grille probably looks even worse on the RL than on any other Acura, partly because it's grafted onto a car that wasn't made for it. •Now there's a new TL, and it steals whatever thunder the RL had left with an option package that borrows the RL's trick AWD system. With the RL itself demoted to an ugly nose outside and fake wood inside (except on the very top trim level), there's now officially pretty much no reason left to buy one. Buying a USED RL, however, is a screaming deal. They're not ugly like the new one, and the car is so underappreciated that the price has dropped like a stone. That's where the real sales action is today in RL's.

2009 MDX with Tech+Ent in Chicago

I bought this car yesterday for $43,500 (out of door) from McGrath Acura. It cam around $39,100 + 810 destination charge+150 doc fee + 8% tax + 300(new plates, license,title). They also give me weather mats for 1st and 2nd row and also for trunk mat worth of $300 with this. I think it is decent (if not best) deal since they have last mdx (tech+ent) in black color with interior in black color. If anyone wants salesperson's email, post your e-mail address and I will send you it in e-mail.

2010 TL Base lease

by jacktl on Sat Nov 21 19:52:04 PST 2009

Just leased a 2010 TL FWD Base - Florida 34242: 36 months 10k mi/yr MSRP $35,915 Cap Cost $31,878 Acq fee $580 Adj Cap Cost $32,458 Residual $21,908 (61%) MF 0.00154 (3.7%) Money down $ 2000 = Doc fees,Taxes, 1st mo, $305 cap cost redux; no sec/rtn Monthly Pmt $ 367 + 7% tax ($26) = $393/mo Hope this helps someone out there who considering leasing this vehicle! I looked at a lot of cars over the past 2 months and this one is an absolute blast to drive even in the base version! I'm coming out of a CLK 430 Conv and this is one just makes me grin like a high school kid! I'm upgrading the wheels/tires to the 18" in the aftermarket ($880 for 4 Acura 18" + $700 tires) as I couldn't justify the $4700+ difference for the Tech/18" package as well as the lower residual of 57%. (vs 61%) for the Tech/18". Also added dealer spoiler and mudguards to complete the Tech/18" "look". Tech/18" Package was $492 + tax ($34) = $524/month with same $2000 upfront. Happy hunting!! PS - Thanks CarMan for your input in this forum. It stimulated me to do my homework, shop several dealers and be knowledgeable and prepared to walk from the deal if it wasn't right! Keep up the great work!
