| How have people's experiences buying an RSX (Type S) been in the Chicago area? Any places to be sure to avoid; any places that have treated you especially well? | |
|
In answer to your query: I bought an RSX-S in the Chicago area (west suburbs) just last year (August '03), and I ended up having four dealerships bidding against each other. McGrath (sp?) was by far the worst: they kept talking deal, but they lowballed my trade-in, they saw five hundred under MSRP as a 'great deal,' and they were rude. Muller was absolutely neutral. I remember almost nothing about them, because of how average they were. Continental Acura was friendly and more than willing to haggle/deal, but they didn't have the color I wanted (Arctic Blue). No complaints, though. If Napleton didn't exist, they would have gotten my business. Napleton Acura (Elmhurst) was where I ended up buying. They were friendly, they offered a good deal (my trade-in was given well above what Edmunds suggests and the purchase price was under TMV), and they didn't play number games. Even their F & I guy was low-pressure. I'd be surprised if you got anything but frustration at McGrath (the whole dealership was run like something out of Confessions of a Car Salesman). On the other hand, you owe it to yourself to check out Napleton. Josh |

Thanks, JoshS, for the response. It may be a few months before I actually buy, but it's always good to know which dealers treat their customers especially well. Here's another question: Since Honda/Acura sells cars without factory-installed options, it's hard to get an idea on what to pay for the options that are offered. Edmund's, alas, does not list prices for dealer-installed options. Has anyone bought an RSX or RSX-S and gotten the rear spoiler? How much did you pay for it? (I'm talking about the smaller, relatively understated curved spoiler, not the really tall rectangular spoiler I've seen in a couple of photos.) |

For a 2004 Acura RSX automatic, cloth, with tint, I paid 19,050 + TTL + Sales Tax etc, drive out of 20,500. I got this price as an internet quote from David Mcdavid in Plano TX. I recommend this dealer, the whole experience was smooth and haggle free.

I recently purchased a RSX Type-S. The color as you guessed it is red. Red is the best color in the world. I got the car for around 23,000 dollars from Acura of Avon. The car is a great little runabout sports car and it has room for my skis and musical instruments which is always a plus. I am very satisfied with the car except for the horrible tires and the lack of an armrest. However I am getting new tires and wheels as well as a center armrest.(don't get a boomerang armrest because your arm will always rub against it while shifting and it can't fold up). Overall the car is a pleeasure to drive weather on country backroads or onlong straights while letting the throttle go full out.

| just bought a 2003 RSX at the Ann Arbor, MI Acura dealer. 11,000 miles, black, black leather, automatic, paid 17,900. Seemed like a fair price, it's a beauty. | |

| Just bought a 2004 Acura RSX Type S in Arctic Blue Pearl. $22,600 - maybe a little high, but paid extra for the color and the fact I got a great price on my trade in (over a thousand more than another Acura dealership was offering). | |
