TMV on TSX by phkck

I wonder what is going on with the TMV edmunds provides for the TSX? As stated earlier I was able to get $1300 off my 05 6MT non-navi. However, TMV comes in at sticker. Seems like people placing blind trust in the Edmunds number would pay $1300 more.
Also, seems as though the Dallas market must be very competitive as they have some of the best prices posted here.

karmann8888,
I live in So Cal and bought 05 TSX AT with nav over Christmas weekend. Paid $28,200 + $200 for Protection pack including destination fees. Total was $28,400 + tax and fees.
 
I initially got quotes via the internet. Once I had my best price, I called the dealer nearest me and asked if they would beat this price. I wound up paying about $300 more than the best offer I had, but I did get free lifetime oil changes. So the $300 difference was not that big a deal. I also got 2.9% financing for 60 mos. I feel that I got a good deal for the car. I love driving it and am very happy with it.
 
Good luck with your purchase.

This forum is here to assist people with information. Please post information about your buying experience here. Also, not a good idea to list your email here. You will get a lot of spam. Try making your email public for the Edmund's members.

"Torque curve is pretty flat with 90% available at 2000, tailing off after reaching its peak 166 at 4500."
 
Thanks for that factoid, pretty much syncs with what I've observed and explains why the regular "D" setting has shifts at such low RPM's. Also explains how the engine pulls quite nicely starting at around 4000. Trick with the "D3" setting is keeping it up there, but I'm getting the hang of it. . .

I just received an email from Riverside Acura. For a 2005 Acura TSX with AT and Navigation, they have quoted me $30,000 out the door including all fees and taxes. I believe this works out to $500 over invoice, or $27,470. I am still confirming all the items, but if it is true, it may be too good to pass up.

That would be a great deal in my mind. i paid $31,000 out the door. Again, i did pay more to get the car closer to home and free oil changes.
 
Does that also include their add on of "RED ALERT." They are the only dealer that I know of that offers it. I did not pay for it. They wanted $895 for it. I told them that I was not going to pay anything over the $31,000. Therefore, I did not get it.

Just picked up a new 2005 TSX.... by rueshan

... Black/Parchment AT w/NAVI for $28,200, including protection package and sunroof visor. Could have had the car for $27,900 at a competing dealer with the same package, but they tried to stiff me on my trade.... $1500 compared to $3200 for the same car at the winning dealer (Leith Acura, Cary NC). I already own a 2004 Accord EX-V6 w/NAVI and my wife and I both love the car, but we couldn't see buying two of the same car.... and the TSX came the closest to the Accord in bang for the buck. The 2.9% financing special is what convinced us to go ahead and make the purchase.

$1715 for extended warranty -> 7 Yr, 100K
$500 for GAP
and $215 for Tires and wheels insurance(they said that they will replace the tires if the blow out and
the wheels if the get bent etc)
 
What do you guys think ? Are these useful ? I still have the option to cancel.
 
Thanks.

I'm a little confused by your post. If you are buying an extended warranty, I assume you will be purchasing the car and planning to keep it a long time. But, if you are going for GAP insurance, doesn't that suggest a lease?
 
Either way, I'd pass on the warranty. Honda builts a resonably reliable car and it is very unlikely you'll sustain $1715 (which, btw, is a ridculously inflated price) worth of repairs in years 5 - 7.
 
The Acura wheels will almost never get bent. They're very, very durable. They scratch easy though. It would cost about $800 - $900 to get four brand new replacements over the internet.
 
The tires are low profile, and easily damaged.

So i called my dealer again and according to them
 
1. If you make no claims in years 5,6,7 then you get your money back at the end of 7 yrs.
 
2. Any claim in yrs 1,2,3,4 are under manufacturer's warranty.
 
Apologies for stating the obvious, but that seems like a win-win situation.
 
GAP: I bought the car with no money down. If in the first yr, lets say 3 months from now, my car gets totalled and my insurance company pays me even base price, i will still be $2K short(taxes) and this $500 covers that. I plan to remove it after a yr though(and so it will have costed me $125). I would have made close to 6k on payments and hopefully my TSX would not have depreciated that much.
