Replying to: frisbeenut (Aug 01, 2005 2:27 pm) In another 2 months the car will be officially 2 MYs old (even though it could physically be even more than 2 years old) - even more depreciation. Next spring when the first TSXs sold start coming off 3 year leases the current unusually high resale prices will come down to more reasonable levels. |

For an '04 TSX that would sell new ('05) for 25,500, my top offer would be $21,700. (That would be the max I would offer.) Since the gov't is giving us 40 cents a mile for tax purposes, on a car that has 9500 miles, 9500 x $0.4 = $3800. Reducing a new car price of $25,500 by $3,800 comes to $21,700. Or as Biker4 writes, no way to go over 22K. Matter of fact, when the '06's come out, it lowers the '04's even more. Personally, I may be looking for an '04 TSX auto in Red or Meteor with less than 15000 miles on it in Oct-Dec timeframe and expect to pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $19.5K or less. Otherwise, I'll look for a new '05 around then for dealer cost. Am losing my company car so am going to be getting into the market and so far, the TSX is the front runner. |

Replying to: kyfdx (Jul 29, 2005 7:06 am) Get this...Goodson Acura in Irving Texas is trying to tell me that this $599 on my quote is valid! I assume that all cars leave the factory with VIN etching. And even if they don't, Police departments will do it for free. I told them no other Acura place has added this. The message on my machine tried to indicate that they all would. They must think I'm an idiot. As far as I can tell, this is some scam about "registering" your etched I.D.# or VIN for a "cash award over what your ins. co. pays if not returned in 30-days if stolen" theft insurance or some garbage like that. Whatever. Should I deal with this via email now while I'm in the quote gathering process, or at the paper signing stage if they end up with the lowest pre-tax/fee price? I might have to pull out the big guns if they continue...A car dealer relative.  With a market as big as Texas, and with at least a dozen other Acura places within a couple of hours driving or and hour and a half max on a $75 flight, they need to give up the con. I'll go where the best deal is.

Replying to: tsxlonghorn (Jul 04, 2005 4:54 pm) I have obtained the following quotes for the Accord: Accord 4dr 3.0 EX w/leather (v4)--21,682 Accord 4dr 3.0 EX w/leather/XM(v6)--23,923. The EX v4 was more than 6,000 shipper than the TSX (26,800). Is "the looks" worth 6K of hype? I have seen post on this forum of people driving the TSX out of the lot for 25,800. So your quote, like mine, is inflated. We must stop the hype about the TSX and drop its price down. |

Replying to: tsxwanted (Aug 02, 2005 7:29 pm) -40 HP -Vehicle stability assist -An extra 1 year/14,000 miles of warranty -HID headlights -Sportshift (manumatic) -More powerful stereo (allegedly 360 watts vs. 120 watts) -Power passenger seat -Homelink (integrated garage door opener) On top of all those, the TSX does look way better IMHO. I drove the Accord and it was a nice car, but after driving the TSX, everything about it felt like a step up. As to if the looks, feel and additional features are worth the $5,000 gap, that is a very personal decision. When I bought my TSX, the gap was about $4,000 and I thought the difference was worth it. Assuming that $26,800 quote is before TTL, it does sound a bit high, but you have to remember supply and demand. Cars sell for less in some areas of the country (California comes to mind). Other people are quoting out-the-door prices from areas with little or no sales tax, which isn't necessarily a valid comparison point for other states.
