#176 of 4345 $500 under invoice + free accessories by mikearlma Jul 04, 2003 (5:43 am)
I bought a Carbon Gray TSX 6spd without Nav last month. I emailed 5 Eastern Massachusetts dealers and told them I was going to order this car that week and could wait for delivery (didn't care what was on their lot), no trade, no finance, no lease. I also wanted the mud guards, cargo net and all weather mats. Here's what happened: 1 dealer offered list, 1 $200 under list, 1 did not reply, 1 offered $500 under list and 5 free oil changes, and the one I bought it from offered $500 under list and the accessories for free (about $500 in list value). Total bottom line (taxes, dealer fees, new plates) was $28,048.   By the way. I LOVE this car. Sold my crappy 99 A4 1.8t to get it. The TSX is fun to drive, feels great, plenty enough torque and pep, corners well - sits very flat, but with very comfortable highway ride, perfectly designed inside, everything works well. Only complaint is that the speakers are lousy (but that is easy to fix). If you like smaller, fun, comfortable, reliable cars but want better performance and luxury than the family sedans, I can't imagine a better value than this (I realize this is probably an argument for a different message board....)
#177 of 4345 My Experience by bwoolley1 Jul 05, 2003 (5:58 pm)
I have close ties to the local acura dealer and they will not sell TSXs under invoice except in 2 special circumstances, where the car was supposed to arrive one month but was delayed over 2 weeks.   They are also one of those dealerships where they include Mud Guards, Truck Tray, Wheel Locks and an Environmental Protection Package, at the buyers expense and put them on every car. I have seen them give those items away for free but they haven't gone under MSRP except for the 2 above cars.   They had 15 TSXs last month and sold them all. This month they only have 4 that are not already spoken for, which is crazy.   As for performance, I do agree they are under powered. I don't mind driving them but if I was to buy I would want a little more. The Type S model will more then likely get a super charger since I was told they want to save the V-6 for the TL.
#178 of 4345 $500 Under Invoice? I think not by blane Jul 06, 2003 (7:21 am)
mikearlma:   Your post #176 implies that you purchased your car for "$500 under invoice". Don't you mean $500 under MSRP? The two are VERY different. Invoice, including $500 destination charge, is $24,647. Add the three accessories, that you could buy from any number of websites for $200, and total "invoice" would be about $24,847.   It's great that you are satisfied with your deal though. $500 bucks off MSRP for a TSX is fine at this point in the model run. The dealer made up $300 of it in the three accessories though.

Sorry to hear of your bad experience. I am located in Lubbock, Texas and the closest Acura dealers for me are in D/FW. I heard Gunn has a no-haggle price on the TSX, but don't know what it is? It may be worth it for you and me to travel to San Antonio, if the price is right! Have you tried Arlington or Fort Worth? I would like to buy a TSX, but MSRP--WOW! When my car sells, I will buy something. Hope it is an Acura!   Best of Luck,   CUSAFR
#181 of 4345 Gunn Acura by jcampod Jul 06, 2003 (5:20 pm)
samirrathod--   Sorry they weren't budging. If you e-mail me at jcampodhotmail.com, I will send you the name of the salespeople in OKC I worked with. If you want, I will photocopy my sales paperwork and you can use that for bargaining in Dallas!   The price in San Antonio at Gunn is $1k off MSRP, both nav and non-nav. I know they have a few black ones and 1 white one on the lot (I drive by them everyday to work). I also have a point of contact there if you are interested, but forum rules won't allow me to post that info on the site. They are a great dealer, and the no-haggle makes working with them pleasant (I did have to squeeze the salespeople at Bob Howard, but did get a great car there!).   Hope this helps!
#184 of 4345 Dallas Area Dealers by samirrathod Jul 07, 2003 (6:07 am)
cusafr: I tried all the Dallas area dealers referencing the deal in a "nearby state". I didn't deal too much with Vandegriff and MacChurchill...just called them up and asked if they would come close to what I wanted to pay. They said no, so I moved on.   jcampod: Thanks. If it doesn't work out for me at Bob Howard, I'll get the info from you and fax it to the sales manager at Goodson. Since they thought I was lying, it would be nice to throw that in their face. If they won't match, even with proof, I'll go to Gunn. I would rather spend a little more $$$ to be treated like a customer should be treated. BTW, did they give you any accessories or was the car bare? Thanks again!
