Hi camina. I spoke with the manager of an Acura dealership whom I am friends with last week and asked him about the market for the TSX. According to what my friend told me, dealers in my area are not really discounting the new TSX at all. If they really have to they may throw in a couple of minor freebees, but they are sticking really close to full MSRP at this time. I am sure that this will eventually change as supply catches up with demand and the TSX is not the hot new product on the block. At one time dealers weren't discounting the Acura TL at all and now they are blowing them out at invoice. If you want what's hot and new you will have to pay a little more for this car, but if you can wait discounts are inevitable.   Car_man Host Smart Shoppers / FWI Message Boards

When I test drove the TSX the salesguy also said they were going for MSRP except for a red MT they had on the lot for 2 weeks. He said he might be able to sell it for less. Evidently it was one of the first batch the dealership had gotten in the first weekend the car was out and the ONLY MT they had gotten. They had since gotten only AT's and had no trouble selling them at MSRP. So if you're in the market for a manual that's not one of the most popular colors (silver, gray or black) you might be able to get a discount. Also seems that the AT's are way more in demand than the MT's.

The dealer I went to is also aiming for MSRP. The salesperson even added that they are taking orders right now for July delivery. I guess they are selling them like hot cakes. Hopefully I will be able to get invoice price later on this year or early next year.   aqpham Replies to this message: ctk4949 (Aug 29, 2005 7:06 pm) lainey (Aug 30, 2005 3:19 pm) ctk4949 (Aug 30, 2005 6:56 pm) and 1 more... lainey (Aug 31, 2005 2:57 pm) ctk4949 (Aug 31, 2005 5:45 pm)
#8 of 4344 I wonder if at MSRP if it is worth it? by randomguy11111 May 05, 2003 (2:01 pm)
Especially relative to the Audi 1.8 Quattro.... I wonder what kind of deal you could do there, especially a lease comparison.   Also, how much more the is the TL if the TSX is at MSRP.   P.S. I rather liked the look of it. Clear rip off of BMW/Audi styling as in the new accord interior (have these Honda people had an original idea in their lives - thank God they make great cars), but I am fan of the 3-series so it seemed rather nice to me.

Actually you can buy a TL for less. A TL without NAV is now going for $24,500 and a simlar TSX is $26,990 (with $500) shipping.
#10 of 4344 $24,500???? by matt00 May 07, 2003 (1:49 pm)
Can you tell me how I can purchase a TL for $24,500? The best deal I got was $26,500? Thanks,
#11 of 4344 TSX vs A4 by gearhead10 May 07, 2003 (11:24 pm)
One could probably get a comparably equipped A4 1.8T frontrack for around $27500. Would be a very close comparison. Both very nice cars with good handling that could use more power IMO.   A TL? It's larger but slower and doesn't handle as well as a TSX with MT. Bland styling too.
#12 of 4344 $24,500 by midnightcowboy May 08, 2003 (8:07 am)
A friend who is a wheeler dealer, went to Don Carlton Acura Tulsa toward the end of the month and paid $24,500 for a TL on the lot and the Tulsa Acura dealership is not that large, but their are only two in the state of Oklahoma.   I have not checked the prices in Houston, but I would expect similar saving. Especially since the current TL will be replaced in September.
#13 of 4344 TL vs. TSX by randomguy11111 May 08, 2003 (9:23 am)
I am not arguing that TL is a better car. My point is that it is supposed to be a move up within the brand.   Personally I like a BMW 3-series over a 5-Series. But if 3-series was more expensive than a similarly powered, comparably equipped 5-series, it would seem strange.   So I question the value proposition, not which is a better car. Clearly the TSX is overpriced or the TL is underpriced. Or both... Doesn't matter, just intriguing...   Your comparison of a TSX manual and a TL automatic and prefering the styling, handling and power of the TSX points to why you would have this kind of inverse pricing.   Personally, I'd go TSX automatic myself...   Just'd feel bad the TL was cheaper....
#14 of 4344 TL vs TSX by gearhead10 May 08, 2003 (11:33 pm)
Yeah, I guess Acura didn't have to think too hard to justify raising the price of the forthcoming generation of the TL.   I think the TSX may be considered overpriced only because dealers aren't moving off of MSRP to sell. And if one really needs the room, the current TL is a bargain (if you don't mind having an "old" car in a few months).   If TSX's start being discounted, Acura could sell way more than 15,000 of them. I seriously considered going for one, until I drove an A4 quattro. The 3-series is very nice as well with unbeatable driving dynamics but then one has to justify the extra $5-6K+ over a comparably equipped TSX.   And if one just HAD to have more power, the TSX is a Honda and we'll soon be tripping over tuner upgrades to get more power out of the K24.
