Hello,
Can anyone tell me if they've gotten a good deal on a TSX w/o Tech in Southwest Florida? I'm having a tough time getting the dealers to budge below $28K. Thanks.

2009 TSX Offer - No tech package by dwr3

Got the dealer to this point... Is it a good deal? '09 TSX base, automatic and no extras for 27,720 Plus 835 local taxes, 389 other fees, 69 title fees = 29,013 total cash price delivered.
 
I'm thinking I should still be able to drive it home for 27,000 (plus tax/doc/title).
 
Thoughts please?

Leased a base TSX with no add-ons
 
MSRP was $29,720
Invoice was $27,381
Paid $26,777 ($604 below invoice)
 
All I paid at closing was the acquisition fee, 1st month's payment plus doc/title fees.
 
For a 36 month lease 15K miles per year (using mf of 0.00263 and residual of 62%) that came out to $350.84 plus tax.
 
Acura's (actually Honda's) fiscal year ends midnight 1/5/09. Happy shopping!
 
Note: 6 other dealers would not match this price, one would but he had added accessories.

drtravel,
I'm unclear how you're coming to this monthly price. I come up with $379.35/month when I use your numbers.

Use the following formula to calculate a lease payment:
(Cap Cost – Residual Value) / Term = Depreciation
(Cap Cost + Residual Value) X Money Factor = Interest
Depreciation + Interest = Base Monthly Payment
 
Residual value is 0.62 X 29720 = 18426.40
 
(26777-18426.40)/36 = 231.96
(26777+18426.40) X 0.00263 = 118.89
 
231.96 + 118.89 = 350.85 (plus tax)
 
Those are the exact same numbers that the dealer came up with.

I didn't realize the tax wasn't included when you made your initial post. With taxes (at least where I am in NY) it would be an additional 28.51 per month. This is basically the price I wanted my dealer to come to plus I wanted some additional iteams "thrown in".

It's best to quote lease prices as base payment plus taxes so those in other states can compare apples to apples. Tax rates vary across the country - some have zero! Also some states charge the sales tax upfront while others spread it out over the monthly payments. And it's also a bad idea to shop based on a monthly payment. Always negotiate the best sales price - the lease payment will be whatever it will be. Advertised leases tend to be for 10K (even seen some at 7.5K) miles per year and require a large capital cost reduction. I just run my own numbers for 15K with no capital cost reduction.

you should be able to do better than that.
 
I got $27,800 with tech package (before tax, title, lic, and destination).

30174 was the quote I got back from my car buying service for the 2009 tsx tech. This does no include customary fees including tax/tags/etc.
 
Is this a good price?

I'm most likely buying tomorrow. I contacted a few dealerships and Chevy Chase Acura gave me an immediate offer via email, with no BS. He outlined everything to a "delivered price" of $30,646.22. Sale Price is $29,574. VA Sales Tax $887.22. Registration $85. Processing $100.
 
I was really impressed that he gave me a number so easily. It was like pulling teeth with the other dealers, and I still only got vague promises of "around your goal of invoice plus fees" with no mention of what those "fees" would be.
 
Invoice is listed as $30,424 on Cars.com. So basically even with all fees, I'm getting it for only $246 over invoice and the sale price is almost $900 under invoice (he claimed it was $650 under invoice, so maybe Cars.com isn't up to date). The only thing I can think is that he's trying to leave out the delivery fee that is listed as $760 on Cars.com. But he said "delivered price" after I told him to give me out-the-door pricing and he outlined everything else, so I would imagine that the $30,646.22 number has to be accurate.
 
Doesn't this seem like a good deal? Unless someone thinks I am missing something. I'll most likely be buying this tomorrow afternoon (financing it anyway).
