#3815 of 4155 new 2009 TSX vs barely used 2007 TL Type-S by scdryver Sep 03, 2008 (2:26 pm)
I'm dead set on getting a manual transmission. I don't race my cars, but I like to drive manual and don't find the automatic SportShift to satisfy my wishes.   I'm trying to decide between the following: 2009 TSX with Tech package (navigation system) -- new 2007 TL Type-S -- used with only 7500 miles.   The Type-S is from a very reliable non-Acura dealer, and I have settled on a final price: $32,800 + TTL.   TSX with Tech package is still under negotiation. Current offer is $1000 under MSRP: $31,775 + TTL. This price includes the destination fee.   So unless the price comes down on the TSX, I'm looking at a barely-used 2007 TL Type-S for just $1025 more than the 2009 TSX. A relative bargain for the Type-S, I'm thinking.   I could save some money by dropping the Tech package from the TSX, of course. But if I keep the Tech package to give these two models a similar comparison, how much less should I demand? I like both cars, and I like the 2009 TSX much more than the 2008 TSX. But I'm not seeing the benefit in a new 2009 TSX over this 2007 TL Type-S for nearly the same price. Can someone convince me otherwise?   used TL Type-S advantages: 50 more horsepower in V6 more room inside rearview camera Brembo brakes upgraded wheels/tires upgraded seating   new TSX advantages: brand new car in new model year fold-down rear seatback newer Navigation system (is the 2009 nav system any better than what is in the 2007?)   Location: South Carolina Replies to this message: dwsibes (Sep 03, 2008 5:44 pm) biker4 (Sep 06, 2008 9:35 am) scdryver (Sep 06, 2008 9:08 pm) biker4 (Sep 06, 2008 11:07 pm)

Replying to: scdryver (Sep 03, 2008 2:26 pm) Not sure the price on the TL is that great, considering I was quoted 33,200 + TTL for a new 2008 TL-S manual back in June (North Carolina).

Replying to: scdryver (Sep 03, 2008 2:26 pm) Yeah, what was said ^ - that used TL price is not that great. Granted it is a barely used car but it is used and in a couple of weeks it will be 2 MYs old. The problem is that with the TL is that you are getting from a dealer - to get a good deal on a used car you have to cut out the middle man (the dealer). Type S TLs these days are going for a song due to the arrival of the 09 TL. I'd wait on both of them till much later in the month. Both the used TL and new TSX prices should drop some more.   As is generally the case you go shopping at the end of the month for a bargain. The TSX had a poor August (fewer sales than last year) so dealers may be more motivated this month. Also, as mentioned that used TL will be 2 MYs old at the end of the month. I'd go for the TL if the price were down to around 30K. Replies to this message: scdryver (Sep 06, 2008 9:08 pm) biker4 (Sep 06, 2008 11:07 pm)

Replying to: biker4 (Sep 06, 2008 9:35 am) Thanks to both of you for your valuable feedback. The TL was the best price that I could find at the time. The requirement for a manual transmission has been the difficult part. As best as I can tell, no Acura dealers nationwide have a new TL Type S 6MT left on the lot. So it is down to used ones, and there aren't many of them around, either, right now.   But I did just find another used 2007 TL Type-S 6MT with low miles today for under $28K. It'll require a long drive to get it two states away, if I do, though.   Still no movement from my local dealer on the price of a 2009 TSX. $1000 under MSRP + a decent trade-in price for my old car. I ruled out the TSX's Tech package -- not very important features for the $3100 pricetag. Replies to this message: biker4 (Sep 06, 2008 11:07 pm)

Replying to: scdryver (Sep 06, 2008 9:08 pm) As with the other things mentioned, a trade is not a good way to get a bargain. This is yet another variable the dealer will use to make money. Sell your car privately - assuming it's an MT car the dealer will be even more reluctant to give you a good deal on the trade. It may take a while but there are people out there looking to buy an MT car. I sold my Accord LX 5 MT within hours on Craigslist.   On the TSX - as I mentioned you either wait till the end of the month or widen your search area to get a better price.
#3820 of 4155 Re: Any price on a 09 TSX? [acnj24] by stacyk Sep 08, 2008 (1:15 pm)
Replying to: acnj24 (Aug 28, 2008 6:57 pm) My hubby and I got the 09 TSX + Technology pkg + destination fee + tinted window at $29,950. Yet, we added the paint protection program($950) so it becomes $30,900.   I think the paint protection program is probably overpriced..but i guess it's still a good deal.

Replying to: stacyk (Sep 08, 2008 1:15 pm) Stacyk, could you share who the dealer was that sold at that price?   The TL Type-S that I mentioned above for under $28K was purchased by someone else today before I talked to the dealer.

#3823 of 4155 2009 TSX $26,899 near Chicago by scdryver Sep 09, 2008 (6:39 am)
I got the following online quote back by email from Arlington Acura in Palatine (near Chicago) for a 2009 TSX (w/out tech package).   "The MSRP of this vehicle is $29,113   "Your Special Sale Price is $26,899. We have a huge selection of vehicles in inventory. This model is available in all colors! We have other trim levels that you may be interested in as well."   I'm not sure why the MSRP is a little lower than what is on acura.com. Even if they left off the destination fee, that would not exactly explain the difference.

Replying to: scdryver (Sep 09, 2008 6:39 am) If they left off the destination fee on the MSRP, then they probably left it off their quote, as well..   It would be interesting to see what the final quote would come to..
