Replying to: jmfdone (Aug 01, 2008 6:06 pm) Take the newer cheaper car - if both satisfy your needs why would you pay more for a larger more expensive (and more expensive to maintain) car? Folks need to detach themselves from this "might as well" mentality.

Replying to: kyfdx (Aug 02, 2008 3:52 am) Thanks. Went with the RL, mostly because its more family friendly and I have two kids w/ one more on the way. Excited. They are delivering the car tomorrow. I think once my kids are all out of car seats I will definitely give the TSX a try. Its a lot of fun to drive.   All in all think I got a good deal and look forward to the RL.   Thanks for the help.

#3794 of 4339 Buying a 2008 Acura TSX (As of August 2008) by ralphieralph Aug 07, 2008 (6:49 pm)
I was wondering what should I be paying for the 2008 Acura TSX new without navigation? I know the MSRP is about $28,900.   I am considering on buying a new 2008 Acura TSX. There are only 3 left. What do you think I should be paying since it is last years model and that the 2009 TSX is already out.   Please help me out since this will be my first time buying a car. I have been doing some research but more info the better.   Thank You Replies to this message: fifteenkey (Aug 08, 2008 3:21 am) gregd1 (Aug 21, 2008 12:37 pm) fifteenkey (Aug 21, 2008 1:41 pm) bobgwtw (Aug 08, 2008 6:13 pm) kyfdx (Aug 09, 2008 3:04 am) bobgwtw (Aug 09, 2008 3:22 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: ralphieralph (Aug 07, 2008 6:49 pm) Dealer invoice is $25,915, plus Acura is kicking $1,000 to their dealers to get rid of the 2008's. I'd start at $24,915 or a little less... I recently paid $1,250 below invoice for an '08 w/Nav. eMail a few dealers an offer for cars they have on their lot and see what happens. Good luck.

Replying to: ralphieralph (Aug 07, 2008 6:49 pm) To you, the 08 will be new; but in the marketplace it's a year old & valued accordingly, In other works It's already depreciated 25% or so; so, if you want to trade, or it's totaled in an accident, you're going to recieve the value of a year old car. I bought 300-400 cars & trucks a year for a large national business. We tried to do all of our buying in the 1st half of the model year because of the depreciation factor.   Every year the big 3 would offer us "fantastic" deals on year end models, but the economics just weren't there.   Thge only way you can make out buying a year old model is to keep it for a long time.

Replying to: bobgwtw (Aug 08, 2008 6:13 pm) I don't know... If you can save $5000 by getting the '08 over the '09?   Yeah... if you want to trade it in next year, you might do worse... but, after 3 years, I think you might be better off..   Plus.. for 90% of buyers.. the amount of the car payment matters.. $5K = $100/mo..   But, I agree that the difference isn't as great as it seems, once you factor in resale value...   regards, kyfdx Host-Prices Paid Forums Replies to this message: bobgwtw (Aug 09, 2008 3:22 pm) bvdj84 (Aug 11, 2008 2:35 pm)

Replying to: kyfdx (Aug 09, 2008 3:04 am) We kept a car on the road for 3 years or 75,000 miles unless it required major work. if it did we dumped it. Understant, the Mfrs. were guaranteeing us a trade value at this interval; don't really know if it was better or worse than the market trade value.These cars went to company officials & sales & marketing personnel; and for the most part, they were never maintained the way you & I take care of our personal cars.   Personally, I now trade approximately every three years; that's about 150-160,000 miles. I take a beating because of the high mileage, but I've driven Japanese cars for the last 25 years; & find I can get this kind of miles on them with no unscheduled repairs. Honda, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Mazda. Some have been more fun to drive than others, but they've all given trouble free service.   Incidentally, I agree yith you about the car payment; and if you keep it 4-5 years you won't get hurt by the fact it's a year old.   Regards bobgwtw Replies to this message: bvdj84 (Aug 11, 2008 2:35 pm)

Replying to: bobgwtw (Aug 09, 2008 3:22 pm) I usually trade before my lease end, now I am in a lease, that I am not sure if I will be able to get out early, but I know that I will be going over my mileage, I know I will be able to get out earlier, but predicting the best time to do this is extremely tricky. I am too early in my lease now, but perhaps in a year or so, I will be able to do it. I plan to get into an Accord, "Loaded".

Replying to: sethnaga (Aug 01, 2008 2:31 pm) The tl is DEFINITELY WORTH IT there is a huge difference between the two cars, but most of all they changed the shape on the tsx so you'll be driving an outdated vehicle. Id opt for the tl if you could. The tl feels like a more expensive car, the tsx feels like a 2006 accord.
