And as for the price of the RL versus the Accord there is a lot more that goes into the building of the RL. It is bigger, has more cargo and passenger space, is much quieter, has a smoother ride. You are paying more for the quality of the build to make the car feel a lot more luxurious when you are driving it. Plus not to mention the added service that you get when you go to an Acura dealership as opposed to a Honda dealership!
Kazi, read and reread and read again the above statement and commit it to memory! :stupid: Then use the same reasoning when you compare a MB/BMW/Lexus to an RL or any other Acura. If you compare a 5-series/E-class to the RL ignore the comment about passenger/cargo space. The above quote is the "value" that you are paying for! You seem to place too much of a discount on what makes a luxury car a luxury car. I guess since you could get a Buick century comparable equipped to an RL there is alot of value for your dollar in owning a Century since its much cheaper. Truth is, the car is junk. The RL has a much better ride, handling, build quality and not to mention the service you would get compared to a GM store. I am not trying to compare an Accord and an RL or implying they are in the same class. What I have done was clearly identify that a car can be similarly equipped but have a large difference in price. This difference is the result of build quality, ride, service, convenience, etc. Remember, "Intangible" items. You won't see these intangibles on the window sticker with a price next to them, but they are there and that's the premium that the dealership charges. Maybe convenience, ride, build quality and service mean nothing to you but for someone looking for a luxury car it could mean the world. Walk into a Benz showroom; they kiss your asss much more than Acura. If your spending alot for a car you want to be pampered and treated professionally. You talk about how much value you get for owning an RL, well it all depends on how you look at it. When comparing a similarly equipped E-class for $10k more, yes. When comparing a similarly equipped Accord, No. However, in both scenarios you need to account for intangibles!
Where is Milford? I have been to 4 different Acura dealerships in my area, two of which have been Precision Team Award winners for numerous years and none of them offer the service that you talk about.
