Lyin’, Cheatin’, and Stealin’ by vfa1520

Just a quick thanks to everyone who has posted. Here is my story. I had been looking for a 2005 Meteor Silver TSX w/Navi for about 3 months.
 
Lyin’. I contacted David McDavid Acura in Dallas, TX who gave me a written quote but refused to honor it after I accepted. I contacted Acura in Torrance, CA about this but they told me to “suck it up”, the dealers could do whatever they wanted.
 
Cheatin’. I then contacted Goodson Acura in Irving, TX who provided me a quote but it didn’t include the destination charge, they tacked on another $500 in fees, and told me the only way to get the car was to wait 90+ days for them to order one.
 
Stealin’. All is not bad though, after two 5 minute phone calls, and one email, I feel like I stole it from Vandergriff Acura in Arlington, TX. They dealer traded, something Goodson wouldn’t do, and sold me the car for about $1600 less then David McDavid’s second offer. I got it for $27, 400 including their standard window tint and wheel locks pkg.
 
They were great. No pressure from the Internet sales guys or the finance guys. I spent less then an hour in the dealer, which included filling out paperwork, inspecting the car, and seeing if they could beat my pre-approved financing.
 
If anyone is looking for a car in the DFW area make sure you contact them first.

I've emailed Goodson for a few weeks. They don't seem to like dealing online. They more or less cut of communication because they want me to come in. Vandergriff seems to be the most up front and easy to deal with to me as well. Did you try MacChurchhill in FTW at all?? Wondering how they are to work with. I thinking I may now steer clear of David McDavid. That's was pretty crummy thing to do. It was probably a matter of just a couple hundred dollars worth of profit he would have lost. Seems stupid, especially with 3 local competitors. Unless of course they are owned by some of the same people. You never know. At this point, I need a vacation anyway and am willing to get quotes from South of DFW, Okla, Ark, or LA. I can enjoy a few days off and drive back with a shiny new car!

I didn't try MacChurchill, and you are right. Goodson really wanted me to come in and talk. I live out of state and bought in DFW because it was cheaper and Dallas seemed the best place to get dealer trades. I had forgotten that someone in my family bought a Honda from David McDavid and had a bad experience too. I got to take a road trip back to CA only days after getting it. The Navi was a great option. I stopped at restaurants that the system found that were way off the highway that I didn't know about and I travel that route alot. Wish it had a built in radar detecter, Texas cops love to give tickets, and the TSX loves to go fast. Very smooth ride.

Buying 1st car out of college.
Fairly confident I can get black TSX with NAV and protection pkg. (locks,trunk mat,splash guards) and spoiler for 28k or a few hundred over. Pretty sure this is a good deal from what I've seen. What is a realistic expectation for financing and does anyone know what the going rate for insurance is (only car/medium coverage).

You probably don't have a credit history so your interest rate is going to be higher than someone with a good credit history unless you get that kind of person (a parent perhaps) to co-sign the loan. State Farm and I'm sure others have rate estimators on their website. Or call your agent. Insurance rates are highly dependant on location, high in big cities, not so high in smaller towns.

Chris:
 
It has been a long time since I was in the service, but are there no deals through the PX or BX?
 
When I was overseas we used to be able to order a car at a good discount and have the car waiting to be picked up when I got home.
 
These car dealers should be giving special discounts and financing to our military personnel.

chiefjs,
 
The overseas car sales from th BX are for American made cars.
I wish the dealers would have some kind of incentives for us or even be willing to work a deal with me. With me being overseas and not being there in person, they don't seem to want to talk about anything but MSRP. I won't let them rob me, I will look at another car if they can't give me some kind of price break. I will be back in the states in less then two weeks and will see what they give me in person. I was hoping that someone here would know of a good dealer to work with in the VA area.

I just asked for a quote at a dealership in my area and got
 
05 TSX - 25571
05 TSX /w Nav - 27392
 
The guy said no protection package, but I'm sure we can make them include it.
