I'm just guessing but reasons to delete this:
1) not really a hot deal
2) it's an advertisement
3) it's a referal
4) you can't read the heading that says:
. a) hot deals only
. b) no advertising
. c) no referals
5) you're dumbier than a box of rocks for not only doing it once, but twice.

No crap, lock this post and ban this schmuck.

This in no way belongs here. Should I also post a link to the GM card explaining that if you charge items on the card, you get 5% back towards a new GM car, hotel stay, rental car, etc?

Worst of all, this guy and his site involves a referral!!!!!

BEGONE SPAMMER!

Answers for HankD:
1) I consider it at least a warm deal
2) it's not an advertisement
3) it's not a referral. You can try to get the deal without mentioning my name. It might help you get the price I got though
4) I know the rules
5) whatever

You sure it was DELETED, not CLOSED?? //Correction- after a small research;) I found out that it was deleted, purged without mercy:confused://
WTF??? What kind of mod would do that anyway?:confused::|:confused:
If it was not a Hot Deal (although it was Freakin' Hot by me ;)), it should've been moved to at least OFF TOPIC or closed:Q!:disgust::frown::(

HankD, FastEddieG:

If you had read the thread before, you would have realized that some people considered it a hot deal. The reason it was lost guys, was because there were some problems with the server, so all posts posted during some period of time today were losts. Including that original thread. Why don't you guys lay off and let the moderators do their jobs? What do you guys benefit from flaming someone else's post? Heck if he made a mistake, at least he tried...

Future... here's what you wrote in that linked page that was not in the original thread that would get this post banned: "Let me know if you will be buying the car, so I can get my referral money."

NO REFERRAL's... otherwise, everything from the original thread would have been alright...

Since the original thread was lost, here are the links again to Acura-TL forum/sites that would be of interest to owners and anyone looking in on this deal.
Acura-TL
Honda-Acura.net

And here's the deal for that RL for $32.5k. I'm pretty sure it's a new car and not used. If it is indeed new, this would definitely be a hot deal!
http://www.rickcaseacura.com/specials.asp?franchiseid=1731

Whoops just saw that Future already linked to those two above sites on his page...

Lastly, as originally stated in the lost thread, the Acura TL Type S, similar to the CL Type S will make its debut at the Detroit Auto Show on January 8th. Production starts in February and the car will be available in March. Some dealerships have already taken preorders. Both the base and Type S model will get some minor exterior restyling.

update: ILAsoft... chill out :D, no mod deleted the original thread, no reason to really. They would have just locked it... go check the FORUM ISSUES forum and read Anand's post!

I actually thought this would be a regular hot deal but after reviewing your page I definately consider this quite the opposite. It is definately an advertisement. If you actually wanted to help other people out--without making money, you would have listed the options and given retail and wholesale prices next to your 27,000 number. Please don't post garbage like this here.

you can look at it like that probe (saying it was advertisement by not posting any options he got) or you can look at it by saying its not advertisement because he didnt post any options and therefor didn't want to get people that interested, anyhow he posted "wtb acura 3.2 tl" in the buy/sale forum so I think he's just trying to get attention on the advertisement. If not and the guy is just trying to post something decent I think this should be moved to OT forum, no real details as to what he got with the car for 27k

This is my last reply
Read the info on the page- I just bought the car yesterday, it lists options I've got.
It is not an advertising.
WTB was posted 4 days ago when I was looking for that car.
Hope my post was helpfull to some of you
I rest my case

I don't think that 27K for that car is a very hot deal, it's over 700 invoice, you can get that car for less than 500 above invoice if you shop around at any acura dealer. close this piece.

Happy New Year everyone!!!

I hate to say but this looks like a AD to me ! The &quot; Mile High &quot; logo even looks half photoshop work . Ive never come to anand looking to buy a car as this is a computer type site . Perhaps if there wasnt a big glowing business card on the bottom of your page this would not look so bad .
When buying a car , it's not about what kind of deal you can get .... it's what the dealer feels like giving . Ive laid several good deals for me and a dealer on the table before only to hit the road for the next dealer . If this model is not selling so hot , they are more willing to deal . Dump the ad and let everyone know thier milage WILL vary .
EDIT :
Who the hell carries a camera to the dealer for shots of the showroom car ?
AND if you took delivery of the vehicle why does it still have the protective covering on the front bumper when the night photo was taken ?
More and more this looks like a Dealer and his friend or roomie or something working a scam .

Ok, obviously alot of people like to flame these threads. Mental note for myself incase I ever see a really hot deal on a car anywhere, dont tell any Anandtech people :) ...

In any case, I think this guy is just trying to share a deal, he's trying to be helpful. If you don't like it, don't crap on his thread, just dont read it! In any case, about the options, incase you don't already know, there aren't any options for the Acura 3.2 TL, the TL and CL models come fully loaded EXCEPT for the GPS tracking system, which is quite a bit of money extra, around $2000 extra I think? So since he didnt mention any options on his page, you can safely assume everything except the GPS. (Even heated seats!) ... I know this because I'm in the market for a new car, and the TL/CL are my top choices right now. $27,000 is a very good price for the car, especially because its a fully loaded car, although I'm probably going to wait for the TL Type S next year :) ... Hope this was helpful for people.

PS- I highly doubt this is also an advertisement for this particular dealership, since most people frequenting this thread would be from somewhere OTHER than Denver, and a dealer wouldn't stand to gain much from advertising to a person like me in NJ. (I'm making an assumption here, but I'd venture to say that a majority of us live somewhere other than Denver, right???) :)

Right on LiQiCE!

Hey, I'm a Jersey resident looking in on that TL Type-S. I discovered the Acura-tl.com and Honda-Acura.net forums earlier this year and have been knee deep in everything relating to the TL-S. If you get a good deal let me know! For now, I think I'll be going with Ramsey Acura. A representative from that dealership has been very helpful to the forum members over at Acura-tl.com.

Of course, the service over at Montclair Acura has been great too... but yeah, I'll let you know if I get a good deal, but won't be getting it until Thanksgiving probably...
