Many times, it is a false economy... Your car may get the same mileage with regular, but the company that built your engine says you should use premium.. regards, kyfdx

Replying to: ruffy (Feb 28, 2008 2:11 pm) I believe Acura has a 3% hold back based on MSRP. However, I would follow Edmunds' advice and NOT use it as an overt negotiating tool. It's a back pocket 'nice to know' but may only antagonize the dealer if you seem like you are trying to squeeze every penny of profit margin from them. My approach has always been to provide a decent margin to the dealer (but certainly not at MSRP levels) if I want to maintain good relations with the dealer for service, goodwill TSB work, etc. |

| Anyone have any feedback from dealers in Massachusetts on TSX w/ Nav? I know some locations still have a lot left in stock, but I'm hearing conflicting data on how close to invoice they'll go. I'd love to get one very close to invoice but someone who recently went to a dealer told me that they're not too worried about demand for snapping them up, so they're not going too low just yet. | |

After reading the forums and getting an initial offer of $27,000 for a base tsx my friend (the buyer) and I went into the Tempe, Az acura dealership. The internet dealer we were in contact with greeted us and instantly we could tell that he was sterotyping us. We are both 25, he's a CPA and I'm a teacher. He showed us the car in the showroom and we told him that we were interested in test driving, he brushed us off saying he had to unload cars from a shipment that just came in. At this point we became frustrated and were going to take our business to scottsdale. On our way out a very pleasant dealer greeted us and offered to take us on a test drive right away. After waiting a couple minutes the internet dealer comes running up saying he's now ready to take us. We assumed the 2 dealers talked and internet guy took over. It turns out he saw us with the nice dealer and rushed to get back to us totally undermining the nice dealer. To make a long story short we liked the nice dealer (obviously) and he was willing to work on the price with us. As he's talking to his manager, internet sales guy sees us talking business (and probably realizes that my friend is serious about buying) and conveniently steps in as soon as nice guy leaves. We were polite to him (even though we wanted to tell him to leave us alone and he's a jerk) and told him what nice guy was doing for us. He screamed at us telling us that no one is selling 08 tsx's below $27,000 (+tax title etc) and $29000 OTD is ridiculous and we're wasting HIS TIME! He repeated himself many times and we became offended by his tone and rudeness. We kept our cool and told him that we know what they've been selling tsx's for. After that he told us to get up and out of his dealership! So we did. Nice dealer called to apologize but said 27k was as low as they go. Has anyone encountered this type of dealer at acura? It was my first time but i expected much more. Also, was our request worth him telling us to get out and leave? Any other information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Replying to: kyfdx (Feb 28, 2008 10:19 am) For 2005 it states 91 octane premium required, lower octane may cause damage. The 2006 manual though says 91+ octane recommended however 87+ octane may be used with reduced performance. Lower than 87 octane may cause engine damage and engine knock. You probably won't get 100% possible performance with 87, but if you are using it for a commuter car and not pushing it hard, you will not miss anything. Acura now restricts their warnings of engine damage on the TSX to fuel used that is below 87 octane (which I don't think is even sold in the US).

Replying to: jaxs1 (Mar 02, 2008 10:39 am) I don't know... but, it's possible.. They sell 85 octane regular in high altitude locations.. since the air is less dense, less fuel is needed for proper ignition.. (in those locations, it is suitable for 87 octane requirements). |
