Texas Lincoln Car Dealers

I finally am getting closer to buying a car. It is between an 2009 Acura TL Tech and a 2010 Lincoln MKZ. I requested internet quotes from several of the local Detroit Acura dealers and only one from a local Lincoln dealer for an ultimate pkg MKZ. I received good honest out the door quotes from the Acura dealers via internet. The Lincoln dealer (Hines Park) gave me an awesome price, so I went in yesterday with my check book. Amazingly enough, they would not even consider selling me the car for that price. Here I am a person in Detroit, that would consider changing brands from my super dependable Acura TL to a Lincoln, who doesn't work for an auto company, can afford the car, got completed jacked around! I am trying to be a good citizen and buy American, but come on! Why would they give me a price that isn't real?I just asked for an internet price. They don't know me from adam and why would they make assumptions without asking? I will try one more Lincoln dealer and then just go buy the Acura. Can anyone tell me why it is so hard to do a simple transaction? I am more than willing to go out of state to get a decent deal. I did ask for an internet price from a TX Lincoln dealer and had good honest communication. Of course, since I didn't go to the dealer with my checkbook, maybe that is not true. I will post again if I go to the Acura dealer Monday night with my checkbook and they don't honor their out the door price either.

...from McDavid LM in Plano, TX. The most pleasant car buying experience I could imagine. No pressure, over-weekend test drive, rapid negotiation, only minor pressure in the F&I office. List $42,090, dealer discount $3000, rebates $4500.

Thanks for the info! So, I should deduct $2000 cash from my final negotiated sales price correct? Then convert the lease rate of 50% by dividing by 2400? Also in Tx how would I figure out TTL? In the advertisements it indicates $0 dwn sp can I roll TTL into my lease payment rather than pay up front for TTL?

I am wanting to lease a MKX for 36 months, 12k miles per year in Tx with a MSRP of $36,999. Please let me know the residual, money factor and how the current "red carpet lease" special they have effects me. Is the $2000 cash back taken off the price I negotiate for the car? Lastly, how much should I expect to pay for tax, tile and license, TTL and my payment per month. The dealer told me their would be 2800 cash due and the ad for the lease special on Lincoln's website indicates $0 at signing. Thanks!!

If 37500 is your adjusted cap, based on a 63% residual, I calculated about $538/mo w/out tx. What residual did they use? A 61% residual would have been right about what you were quoted. The key to the 24mo lease is the nice money factor of .5% or .000208. The 36mo lease has a MF that is 5x higher at 2.5% or .00104. I recalled residual being about 51%. Your payment would be very close to the same.
