How funny! I own a 2001 Infiniti-I-30 and I moved to Lubbock from Fort Worth! I agree with everything you said, I am just trying to convince myself. I have not driven a TSX yet as there are none here. I am going to Austin on business in two weeks and plan to drive one there. Hopefully, that will put me over the top. I also think the new accord is butt ugly, but for the price/engine/5-speed/etc, it's the next best thing if I don't like the TSX. My biggest concerns are the vehicle size (too small) and the power (or lack there of).   I also have a 2002 Honda Accord (wife's car) which I like the body style much better than the 2003. I talked to the sales manager there and he said he would love to get an Acura dealership! Forgot now why he said they could not, or would not. I'll ask him again next time I see him.   Thanks for your comments!   CUSAFR
#198 of 4344 Are NJ Dealers Discounting? by gtown312 Jul 14, 2003 (5:30 pm)
Has anyone bought a TSX in New Jersey and gotten any discount off of MSRP?   I went to Ocean and they would not budge off of MSRP, they were willing to give me a fair value on my trade though. However, I still don't think that is enough of a discount.   I wanted to hear from anyone who has been to any other dealerships in the area and done better. I need some more leverage. I appreciate the help.
#199 of 4344 Payment Method by kinnamon Jul 16, 2003 (12:13 am)
I want to get a TSX in the Houston area in the next few weeks or so. I haven't really started going around to dealerships yet to get a decent deal (just recently decided on the TSX over other choices).   I'm really looking at the AT with silver or smoke exterior and the NAV system (fog lights if possible too).   My question, as this is the first car I've ever bought, is that is it possible for me to get a better deal if I pay for the car all up front?   This is the method I'm using since I have access to the money and want to avoid any interest over the years. Basically I want to get it to under $30k (including tax) which makes it about $27,500 (before tax).   Is this sort of payment a possible bargaining tool or does method of payment really mean anything to them?   Thanks for your help.

Sussman offered me $500 off sticker, I also believe that Princeton Acura is offering small discounts. I'd try the internet sales department of both.   It's still the summer of 2003 and the car is a 2004. The novelty of driving a 2004 car in 2003 hasn't worn off yet. I'm not even going to try for serious bidding until other 2004s start filling the showrooms. I'd expect that to be in the fall.   TSX dealer inventories seem to remain fairly tight at this point although they also appear to have climbed about 50% in the last 2-3 weeks.

The dealers don't care.. They either get cash from you, or cash from the bank if you get a loan. Bargain on the price of the car. Don't even bring up financing, until after you make the deal.   regards, kyfdx

Paying cash can be a detriment to the deal. If the dealer arranges financing for you he makes some money off of that from the source. Paying cash eliminates that revenue.
#203 of 4344 Worth The Wait? by parker19 Jul 16, 2003 (8:00 am)
I just bought a carbon grey tsx and love it. Got a fair deal ($500 off). Like many of you, I shopped around to get the price I could. Initially, after reading some posts, I was trying to get the car for $1200-1700 off sticker like some other posts claimed. Quickly, I discovered that wasnt going anywhere close to that. After a while, I started to wonder what was I fighting for in terms of looking and waiting and saving money. Is it really worth it to wait a few extra months to get a car a few hundred dollars cheaper? It seems if you want the car, get the car.
#204 of 4344 Fair Deal? by xplorx4 Jul 16, 2003 (1:58 pm)
I'm in no hurry to buy a new car, but I really like the TSX. My wife and I will be giving our current car to a relative in a few months, so we have at least 60 days before we must replace it.   I'd like to know if you think this is a fair offer:   Desired vehicle: arctic blue TSX AT (no NAV) spoiler fog lights cargo net cargo tray   Desired Sale Price: $26,500 plus $500 destination charge.   I'm willing to go up to $26,800, but I'd try to negotiate for some kind of limited free service agreement for that.   This would be in the San Jose/Bay Area, CA region. Do you think my offer is reasonable, too high, or too low?
#205 of 4344 xplorx4 by cusafr Jul 16, 2003 (2:19 pm)
Full MSRP is only 26,990 including destination. Why would you want to pay more? Most are getting between 500-1000 off MSRP.   CUSAFR
#206 of 4344 why pay more? (cusafr) by xplorx4 Jul 16, 2003 (6:20 pm)
I figure I'm adding roughly $850 in accessories (parts cost only, no labor cost added to install said accessories) to the vehicle, and I've heard that most bay-area buyers aren't getting that much below MSRP. MSRP (incl dest.) plus cost of accessories (without installation charge) = $27840.   Are you suggesting that I should offer an even lower price?
