OTOH, the Acura TL is like 36 or 37k on the dealer's website - and the true market value Edmunds gave was a bit higher: 38k. And it may be a nicer car .
On Edmunds create a login and search for the discussions on What did I pay for my car. You should be able to find the exact model/features of the car you decide on. May even be able to find someone who bought the same car from the same dealership as you're considering.
Acura also has a TSX, smaller version of the TL. Had for going on 3 years and like (4 & 6 cylinder options). Rides well, road noise great compared to other cars in it's class (we drove Lexus, Honda, Toyota, Subaru - wasn't even close).
After test driving a few, went to Edmunds and did legwork on what I can expect to pay for the car. Drove Acura on a Saturday, emailed the salesperson Sunday with our offer. He emailed back and we settled on $100 more. Car was picked up that Wednesday.
No sitting in the lobby, talking to manager BS. EZ game. Use that Edmunds site and get everything that goes into car cost, from taxes to delivery charges, etc.
