#203 of 4340 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 4340 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?

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 4340 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?
#207 of 4340 explorx4 by parker19 Jul 17, 2003 (11:25 am)
there's nothing wrong with trying to get a lower price if your current offer is sticker ... granted some people on this site will have you believe that unless u get the tsx for free you got ripped off .... it seems $500 off is a "fair price" based on what many people, including myself have gotten .... but that doesnt mean you should bag the deal if you can't get that, it depends on what something is worth to you ... in the scheme of it all a few bucks shouldnt be the difference between a car or not but you should be able to get a few bucks off
#208 of 4340 Pricing by bobshiftright Jul 17, 2003 (12:33 pm)
When you compare the TSX to the IS300, the C-Class Mercedes, the Saab 9-3 and the base 325i, (vinyl seats, halogen lights, skinny tires and all), I don't think that even the TSX sticker price is "unfair". It's just my guess that the prices will be a little better once the other 2004s start appearing in the showrooms.   Or, maybe not. Maybe there is going to be a surprising national trend away from slushboxes and to nifty short-throw 6-speed manual trannies. One can always hope! However, I suspect the car is aimed at a small niche market. A very passionate niche, but a small one.   FWIW, there are countless Acura dealers' parts departments who sell the accessories like the fog lights and the trunk mat at deep discount over the internet.   My wife bought a Honda Odyssey a couple of years ago, we paid sticker, with no add-ons, and the dealer threw in the window etching for free. While I would have liked it better at $3000 under the sticker price like the domestic vans, I didn't think that was "unfair" because the deeply discounted minivans from the "Big Three" were still priced about the same as the Oddy.
#209 of 4340 TL by redkey1 Jul 17, 2003 (12:48 pm)
I think that when the new TL comes out we will see prices on the TSX move away from sticker. The TL will have the 6cyl that many desire and obviously more room. Styling on both is very similar.

FWIW, there are countless Acura dealers' parts departments who sell the accessories like the fog lights and the trunk mat at deep discount over the internet.     I believe I got obtained very steeply discounted prices for the accessories I desire from an internet dealer I found by searching google for "TSX wing spoiler"   Their prices were the ones I used to calculate a total "offer" price:   Spoiler: 466.70 Fog Lights: 279.50 Cargo Net: 24.70 Cargo Tray: 76.70   I have to assume that the markup on these parts (for the particular dealer) is very low, since I've seen the same parts at other dealers for up to 40% more.   Does anyone know if dealer-installed accessories like those mentioned above are covered under the 48 mo/50K mi Acura warranty? (I assume that if you buy them and install them yourself you aren't covered by any kind of warranty, so the only real benefit of paying for dealer labor is warranty coverage.)
#211 of 4340 mark up and warranty by dudka Jul 18, 2003 (7:51 am)
I know that Honda dealer have 100% mark up from what they buy parts for. The reason I know, is that I "accidentally" peeked into the computer when I was buying "Hard shell painted spare tire cover" for my CR-V, the "official" price was $560 or something, I was paying $350, while the dealer cost was $275. Even at 50% "discount" from list on-line dealers make a good profit. Parts themselves carry 1 year warranty from Honda, even if it is self installed. You just not covered for labor, in other words you would have to remove it to get warranty serice on it.
#212 of 4340 $600 off MSRP in Ohio by ineedle Jul 18, 2003 (2:54 pm)
Bought my 6 speed manual for $600 off MSRP in early June. I was happy with the price considering all of the options included and the quality of the car.
