| I'm looking to buy a new RSX, but I'm seeking advice from other past-RSX buyers. I went to Ryan's Open Road Acura in East Brunswick, NJ today, and the salesperson quoted me $19k for a 2003 (new, no mileage) base manual w/ leather. $19k seems a bit steep for a leftover, especially considering '05s are coming out in, what, six months? However, I didn't get a quote on a 2004. I figure an '04 would probably run me about $22k, so better to spend the extra $3k and have a new car. Can anyone give me some idea on how much I should spend, as I don't want any extra features. Also, can anyone recommend a dealer in central New Jersey to me? Bridgewater Acura, Princeton Precision Acura, Open Road, and Ocean Acura are all within 30 minutes of me, but if I can get better service (and a better deal) somewhere else, I'll go anywhere. Any advice anyone could give me would be appreciated. | |

| sticker on a base w/ manual and leather is only $21K, not $22K. You are, in effect, saving about $1250, maybe $1500 to buy the '03. I would definitely insist on an extra $1000 off if it were me...we are already almost at April 1 here. If it is not too big a stretch, I would go for the '04, but an '03 base manual with leather for $18K is a bargain I would look at seriously. | |
| Recently purchased a 2004 RSX Auto for $20,100. The vehicle was purchased from Springfield Acura in Union NJ. The buying experience was haggle free and fast. I recommend this dealer if you want to fair price and pleaseing buying experience. | |
| Always have driven Hondas but now interested in a 2002 RSX, cloth seats, 13,000 miles, looks new. They are asking $17,750. I offered $17,400. Is this too much. Charcoal gray, stick shift. They tell me I'm getting a good deal at this price. | |
| Also, Honda is offering me a 2003 Honda Accord, leather seats, rear spoiler, no miles for $22,000. He says he took $4,000 off the price, like I should be lucky. | |

| is a V-6, right? Sounds like that is a better deal than the RSX, which is already two years old regardless of miles. The Acura should be another thousand cheaper, IMO. | |
I'm in the North Carolina area and have called my local dealerships and they are all quoting the '04 RSX base model, auto trans, w/leather at MSRP. This is my first car purchase...how do I negotiate? I see that others paid about 500-1000 over invoice, although those posts were about 6 months ago. Would that bargaining stance still hold power? Where do I start?

sometimes they won't quote competitive prices over the phone, because they have little hope you will ever walk through their door. Start by getting some internet quotes, then visit a couple of the best deals with the internet quote printed out and in your hand - make 'em bid against each other. RSX is now three years old and sales have slowed - I would be surprised if you couldn't get a better deal than folks were getting six months ago. |

| Performance Acura of Chapel Hill gave me a good deal after they saw my TMV reports off of Edmunds.com. I am a satisfied driver! | |
