Get the money back! by phkck

Is it a HondaCare Warranty? If so as most have said here that will cost $1,100 to $1,200. Plus the Acura Extended warranty can be purchased just prior to end of the factory 4yr/50K.
GAP insurance on a loan these days is good advice esp. with 5-6-7 year loans out there. Luckily for me USAA provides that on all of their car loans.
Tires and wheels? Our 04 TL has 4 scratched rims, not bad but would be worth it if covered.
The TL rims get no protection from the tires (rim sticks out further than the tire.
Also, get in writing about getting your money back if you keep the warranty.

Rueshan - congrats on your deal on the TSX. I am also in NC and shopping -- can you tell me if you were able to negotiate out of the ridiculous $400 document fee that Leith Acura in Cary is asking for their cars? Any strategies for dealing with the local dealerships?

tomorrow is the last day of 2.9% financing.
My wife insisted that she wants "meteor sliver" TSX. And the dealer just had one arrived today.
 
The price will be 27,992 + fee + tax.
 
Will go to pick it up tomorrow morning...

Yes, that Leith doc fee is horrible, however I was able to get them to lower the price of the car by $200 additional dollars to at least cut that in half at the very end of negotiating... but I didn't count that $200 in the amount that I posted as having paid for the car. I was actually able to get a slightly better price at Performance Acura in Chapel Hill, but they dropped the ball and couldn't close the deal after I gave them a shot at my trade-in. All I can tell you is to deal with the internet managers exclusively, and let them compete for the best price by e-mail or over the phone... have a firm price before you show up at the winning dealer... you just may need to have more than one TSX exterior/interior color combination that you are willing to accept for the best deals, because the deals are not as sweet if they have to pay to transport the car. It's even better when you can find your preferred color combination already on the way to your dealer, that way you can buy it right off the truck.

The top of the dash is black with the parchment interior, which turns out to look very nice with the black exterior of the car. It is a very attractive color combination in my opinion, and I never even considered those colors together until I actually saw it at the dealer.
 
As far as driving impressions, I need to put a few more miles on the TSX before opening it up a bit (not to mention getting the car away from my wife), but I still love driving my 2004 Accord V6... the horsepower is addictive and I still find that it idles and accelerates a bit smoother than the TSX. I have also found that the voice command on the TSX is a little different than the same function on my Accord... when you push the button to talk in the Accord, the beep is immediate and you can give the command. However in the TSX, there is a slight delay before it beeps.... just enough to clip off your first word if you're used to the Nav in the Accord. But the TSX seems to be able to map routes a little quicker, so I guess there were some updates in the software.

I am looking at buying from either Vandergriff or Churchill. Have not got the same deal you got. Been quoted $26,000. Any advice?

Time of year to buy and supply by hoopdan21

I am beginning to look at buying in the Dallas area. I have been told that the supply is limited and prices, therefore, are not very negotiable. I have been quoted about $1,200 off sticker for a non-navi, auto. I really don't have to have the car until April/May. Would it be better to wait? Will supply pick up or be less given the end of the model year?

Purchase TSX Used by firstcar

Does anyone have any information experiences relating to the purchase of a used TSX? I am 25 years old and this will be my first car purchase. I have driven a Toyota Celica since I was 16 (it now has 152,000 miles and counting). Any tips that you feel might help a first time buyer like myself would be most appreciated.

North Carolina/Virginia TSX buyers speak out!
 
Thx Rueshan for the tips. I hope that everybody in NC fights these $400 document fees all the way, or these dealers will continue geting away with murder.
 
Has anybody out there had any experience with the Winston-Salem Acura dealer? They seem to have the best quotes of the North Carolina dealers, and also lower than Richmond, VA. Will probably drive out there soon but would like to hear others' experience.

I am from Cary, NC. But I bought a 2004 certified TSX with Nav in Johnson City, TN last Sat. I wonder if the $400 document fee is related to NC in general or just brand new cars? I didn't have a $400 document fee tacked on that I remember. But after perusing some other car dealerships and this site, I may have paid too much for a car with 26,900 miles on it. Sticker was also $26,900. With trade in it was $24,100.
 
First car: Most Acura dealers sell Certified Pre-Owned cars. They go through a 150 pt. process to make sure the car is in practically new condition. The prices aren't that much cheaper than new though. I would buy from an Acura dealer and not individual.
