#3906 of 4328 AcuraLink Pricing by ash326 Dec 17, 2008 (9:09 am)
I'm looking at the TSX w/Technology Package. One question I couldn't find online (or get answered by the salesperson I spoke with): what is the monthly fee for AcuraLink to get weather/traffic updates? Is this negotiable at all w/the dealer?   Thanks! Replies to this message: samimo (Dec 23, 2008 7:01 pm)
#3907 of 4328 2009 TSX...how much under invoice? by samimo Dec 22, 2008 (2:05 pm)
I am planning on purchasing a 2009 TSX with Tech package. MSRP is $32,820. Invoice is $30,224. How much under invoice have you been able to purchase for? I have qualified for 0.9% financing through the dealer. Replies to this message: members78 (Dec 22, 2008 8:05 pm)

Replying to: samimo (Dec 22, 2008 2:05 pm) Someone emailed me his TSX receipt and he managed 29,749, or roughly 760 below invoice, not including processing fee. He purchased in the beginning of October. I just heard from the Wall Street guys that TSX sales are down 10%, so you could probably score an even better deal.   If I can't swing a 128i coupe, then I might pick up a TSX tech package. I currently own a 2004 TSX and I'm very happy with it. It's a complete package and the best value for the dollar, I think.

Replying to: ash326 (Dec 17, 2008 9:09 am) When I asked about the service, I was told that there was no monthly fee...it's a free service.

Replying to: mittbb (Dec 23, 2008 3:13 pm) I received an e-mail quote for $350 below invoice. Haven't pulled the trigger so I guess I could ask for more! Saw that at this price the dealer holdback was still $575. Looking to buy next week - trying for the end-of-the-year deal. Inventory levels have steadily increased during the past two months.   Many put an add-on pro pack (splash guards, wheel locks and trunk matt) to increase their profit.
#3912 of 4328 2009 tsx base lease question by jdr10 Dec 31, 2008 (8:34 am)
I thought I was getting a really good deal on a base tsx now I am not so sure. I did so much research and went in with what I thought was good information.   I was quoted 26,616 from the internet. When I got to the dealer we went back and forth about 4 times before they came out with a $320.98 (tax included) a month for 36 months/10,000. I know I shouldn't put any money down but in order to keep the payments that low they said I would have to put 3000 down. I got the car but do not understand the lease agreement. I also paid $595 and $895 for a passive alarm and remote start. I paid that on top of the $3000. Then I had to pay NY taxes on the cap cost reduction. So basically it came out to $4973 down( including taxes and fees) which now seems like way too much.   The agreement says:   Gross cap cost $29774.65 - cap cost red. - 3242.58 adj. cap cost $26532.07 residual (65%) 19318.00 depreciation = $7214.07 rent charge $4341.21 (what does this mean?) total base pay $11555.28 36 mon = $320.98   Can you help me break this down so I know what I did or what I shouldn't have done? From the way this is, I can't see that I got the vehicle for 26,616. (plus the alarm 595 and remote start 895) HELP!   Thanks very much!

Replying to: jdr10 (Dec 31, 2008 8:34 am) It doesn't matter how great a deal you got on the car, the dealership made it up on the alarm and remote start. Why is it folks just can't say NO?
#3914 of 4328 Well, I Was Going. . . by cdnpinhead Dec 31, 2008 (2:37 pm)
to say earlier that jdr10 got hosed, but held off. It appears to be apparent to others as well.   Getting an okay deal prior to F & I (finance & insurance), then taking it up the (oh well) at that point doesn't yield a very satisfactory overall result.   Just say no. Every time they ask -- just say no. Make an OTD (out-the-door) deal, including sales tax, license & any/all crap charges, prior to going to F&I. Walk if that isn't the number at the bottom of the deal sheet.

Replying to: jdr10 (Dec 31, 2008 8:34 am) First.... don't feel bad about making poor lease decisions.. Almost everyone makes mistakes the first few times.. at least..   But... to answer a few of your questions...   You did pretty well on the selling price, it seems.. But, the $595 + $895 for the alarm and remote start? You'd have to want these pretty bad for this to make good sense on a lease. Since neither of those things are residualized, you pay the full amount over the 36 months of the lease.. That added around $45/mo. to your lease cost. Probably your biggest mistake.   There are lots of reasons for not putting money down on a lease... but, it doesn't really cost you any more, assuming you don't lose the car to accident or theft early in the lease... But, an easy way to get the real monthly cost of the lease, is to divide your upfront payment, minus the first payment, by the term.   $4973 - $320 = $4653 / 36mo. = $130/mo. approx..   $320/mo. + $130/mo. = $450/mo..   That seems pretty high.. but, if you deducted the $45/mo. for the alarm/remote start, you'd be at $405/mo. with nothing upfront but first payment...   Not a great price, but decent for a $30K car..   Also, to answer your other question.. the "rent charge" is the finance portion of the lease payment... The interest, for lack of a better term.. (Depreciation + Finance charge + Tax) / term = lease payment.   Hope that helps, kyfdx
