Just picked up a 2008 non Navi 6spd. Royal Blue /parchment. Lease 3yr/10,000miles/yr.
1500 cap cost + first month= total cash out of pocket $2000 + $288 month+tax..money factor was around 2% with residual of $16,7..., I don't have it right in front of me.. actual selling price was $27,000. I found 6 spd very difficult to find in south Florida. also difficult to avoid dealers fees without lots of effort.
 
I did not purchase at Rick Case Acura who had what i wanted near my home but instead went to Scanlon Acura in Ft. Meyers.. NO DEALER fee and reasonable, to me, price wise. It seems dealer price is really a function of national location,local economy.

here my numbers 5AT 2006
2000rpm 60mph
2500rpm 70mph
2750rpm 80mph
3000 rpm 90mph
3500rpm 100mph
i got 33.5mpg on N 280 at 80mph. but there was downword slope in some places so there was coasting involved. 33mpg is not big deal for TSX if u drive more than 20 minutes on freeway in speeds between 60 to 80mph.

A lot of it has to do with long stretches of highway driving that get the oil temp up all the way. Years ago, when I had a sump-mounted oil temp gauge that I added to my MGB, I learned that it took most of an hour to get the oil temp stabilized, and longer than that when it was really cold out. Also, there was quite a bit of really curvy stuff that kept the speed down in some places yesterday. I hit high speeds occasionally, but certainly not all day.
 
Also, I discovered the car computer appears optimistic. When I compared what the car thought I was getting for a tank of gas yesterday (33.1 mpg) to the actual numbers (12.33 gallons in 380 miles), I got 30.8 mpg, which is still no slouch but ~7% lower.
 
Manual transmission may help too, though the EPA numbers say no. Of course, according to the EPA I shouldn't be getting anything like what I am. Could be the new EPA program assumes more aggressive acceleration or whatever, which I wasn't doing much of either.

thank you for providing the rpm's, it would seem that the 6spd has a different final drive than your car. My number are very different at the speeds you mentioned. this would acct for differrent mpg, i'm really surprised by this difference.

My daughter wanted black on black. First we went to AcuraofOcean in NJ where we had purchased before.They didn't have any in stock and would not bother to look for one without an additional$400-ontop of a price that was not even competitive. I give alot of credit to Bill Vincents Acura in Sommerville. The internet manager there tried to get the car for two days but none was around in NY or NJ. We then switched to the DC area since the car was going to be registered in Maryland anyway. Chevy Chase acura swore up and down that they had one in stock. Gave them a$500 deposit and got a vin number. I kept on asking him if he was sure they had one since the website did not seem to show any and he said they did. At 6:30 p.m. on Sat. he sent me the cost breakdown as my daughter's fiancee was going to pick it up on Monday.Monday morning he calls to see the car and suddenly it was sold Sat.nite. Since his email to me was after 6 I doubt that was the case.I then contacted Tischer Acura in Laurel Md who had also had the car on Sat. and asked him if it was still available.He said it definately was so I gave him a $500 deposit with again intending to pick up the car that night. Two hours later we get a call-the car supposedly had been sold late Sat. Shouldn't he have known that before he was willing to take my mone?.We did finally locate the car atRadleyAcura inVa for$26000incdestination.They were very easy to deal with.If I ever need another Acura I'd go to Bill Vincents Acura or Radleys.

I have had my car for about a week now and have about 360 miles on it. The first week of driving returned about 24mpg on the trip computer but that involved a lot to Chicago suburban rush hour driving and some idling while playing with the car and warming it up on cold mornings. So I figured that was reasonable. It was about 1mpg more than my 96000mile Audi 1.8T would produce.
 
However the mileage is so conditional on the state you drive and how warm the engine is. This morning after the engine was already warm (about half way into my commute) I filled up with gas and reset the MPG on the display. I then had some suburban 4 lane roads to drive on before hitting the freeway. The freeway was initially stop/start but then picked up to a more steady 55mph. I noticed that the average MPG increased and peaked at 40MPG in this steady state driving. Then turning off the freeway, I burned gas on some other minor roads before parking at work. That last bit reduced my average back down to 36MPG.
 
So for the 10 miles I did after I filled her up, I average 36 this morning. That's incredible! It won't stay that high and I would expect it to drop back below 30 to the high 20s on the drive home but I will monitor that and record it in a spreadsheet. It will be interesting to see if it improves with engine break-in.

I've been going back and forth with some of the dealers in and around Sacramento, CA, and the best price I've been offered so far is $25,880 + fees for a non-NAVI TSX. Seems pretty competitive from what I've seen on here - any input?
 
Stock seems hit and miss around here. Of the two closest dealers, one still has over 20 TSX's in stock, the other is down to 8, only 1 non-NAVI. Other dealers within 100 miles have anywhere from 2 to about 15. I'm not in a position where I really need to buy, so I'm hanging out a bit and waiting to see if there's any price shift that happens once the '09s are officially in showrooms - I think if I could get one for $25k with the 2.9% financing, I'd probably bite.

Here's a deal one of my friends got on a Acura TSX 2008 last month:
  
Invoice: 28353
MSRP: 31005
MF: 0.0014
Residual: 56% of MSRP
Down: 3180
Monthly payment: 350/month
Term: 36mo., 12K miles
  
He qualified for Tier 2 since he did not have much history, only about a couple of years.
  
What do you think guys - Good deal or not? How does the monthly payment look? Good?
  
I am posting this one for him
