I'm in the market for a '05 TL AT with Nav. I paid $12 for a report from Consumers Report. The reports says there are dealer kick backs of about $1000. I should start neg. at around 31K.
Without setting foot at a dealer, I'm getting quotes of around 33,500 -36,000 + deliverly and tax and registration from the dealers from the web. I called an auto broker and he said I won't get much cheaper than 33,500.

Since some people on the list have bough TL. I'm don't like negotiating , but how much can I neg. if I go to a dealer?

Also, according to the report, the AT with Nav. comes with a compact spare tire. The other versions dont. What's the deal with that? I used my mickey mouse spare on many occations and hate having to swap the spare.

Is 33,500 + del. reg. and tx a good price?

Thanks Sujit
