Acura RSX '06 w/ leather by juicymoose
Jan 17, 2006 (7:13 am)
I recently made an offer to all Acura dealers in the Seattle area. I live about 2 1/2 hours from the closest dealer so I figured my time was best spent making a deal via email. One dealer replied w/in 1hour of my sending the email. Only one other dealer replied and he still won't give me a straight answer. See ya.
 
I asked for the base model w/ leather and no options. I got $21,200 before taxes and a doc fee of $35. It is a few hundred below the TMV for that vehicle so I figured I got a decent deal.
 
When I got to the dealer, he had accidently deleted the email. Which was typical. In any event, I made copies of both my offer to him specifically and his reply.
 
I wanted on of two colors and they said those colors were very hard to find. I might wait a month or two. Being that I work on a ship that doesn't really make much difference to me so I said fine. They kept insisting I chose another color. I'm not sure if they were lying about the fact the particular color was not available so they could get me to buy one off the lot.
 
Anyway, long story short I didn't want to come all the way over there for nothing so I put $500 down to hold the vehicle when it shows up.
 
Can they order that specific vehicle if you want, or is it true when they say the cars just come randomly to their dealership every month from Japan?
 
Is my only option to wait for the car?

Generally, you can't "order" an RSX... But, the dealer can check around and try to trade for the car you want... Or, they should be able to search for what is in port, or scheduled to arrive, and reserve it for their dealership.. Most dealers won't trade with the local competition, however..
 
All dealers would rather you buy a car that is on the lot, because no sale is final, until delivery takes place.. A bird in hand... so to speak..
 
If you want a particular color, I'd try to stay in contact with them weekly, to let them know you are serious, and to keep them focused on the task.

I put $500 down so they would know I was pretty serious. However, I will take the advice and touch base every week. Thanks

rsx-s purchase just info by newrsx
Jan 25, 2006 (4:47 am)
bought 06 rsx type s black on black this week.
bought for edmunds TMV price (possibly could have gotten a little lower, but car has great resale value, great quality)
no problems with salesperson, no added charges to contract, no f/i sales tactics. Acura of Dayton.
don't have insurance cost yet (but I am "older" female so likely won't be too bad)
 
It's a scream to drive! Bose audio is great. I traded Saab 9-3 (which was fun but not very reliable)and am having a blast.

I just checked up with the sales person about my car and he said that they had ordered the car directly from the manufacturer in Japan.
 
From what he said they make the car (or there is one their already) send them the vin and deliver to the dealership. However, they said it might take a while if there are few requests for a peticular color, etc...
 
I find it hard to believe that I'd be the only one to ask for jade metallic green w/ no extraneous options. Am I at the dealers mercy? I can always ask for my money back and go somewhere else if they don't deliver.

Acura RSX base model automatic by nrudd
Feb 10, 2006 (8:47 pm)
I am in the process of buying a Black Pearl black cloth interior base model RSX automatic. How did I do?
 
Invoice Price:
$19,368
MSRP:
$21,225
 
Price paid: $19,618 (invoice + $250)
 
destination: $615
 
Fee from acura to dealer: $200 (said charged to all dealers in AZ and included in his invoice price, not in mine above)
 
tax (8.1%): $1655
 
doc fee: $388
 
misc AZ fees : $22
 
Plates : $374
 
Total: $22,872
 
Do these fees seem normal to you? I'm hoping for someone in Arizona to get a local opinion on it. From what I've seen the doc fees here are outrageous so that one makes some sense. I don't mind the $200 fee from Acura, and I suppose plates/registration is that expensive in arizona too.
 
Any opinions?

I'd relook the doc fee. In Washington it is legally written it can be no more than $35 according to the Dept. of Rev. Not sure about AZ. might check the web site. Good deal though.
