Well, if you marry your car do you get a dependant exemption and then can write off the purchase price too?! Wait, I'm already married--getting into alternative lifestyles again--nevermind. Back on topic, the dealership that I visited wasn't discounting AT TSX's but also wasn't charging a markup on MDX's back when they could--said it was against policy. So I guess it averages out +/-, no one gets a discount on one car and no one gets gouged on another. |

Hi everyone. I just wanted to post a quick reminder to stick to the intended topic of this discussion - the Acura TSX. Any future off-topic posts will be deleted. Thanks. Car_man Host Smart Shoppers / FWI Message Boards |

I live in Southern California and I was able to get a hell of a deal. I made offers to 8 different Acura dealers in my area and finally got a quote: $25,150 for Black on Ebony 5AT No/Navi $27,150 for Black on Ebony 5AT w/Navi. I decided to go all out and get the one with the Navi. I have signed all papers and am going to receive the care on the 23rd of May. The out the door price came out to be just over $29,000. So yes, $1800 off MSRP ( a huge discount) can be had. It takes a lot of persistance at the right dealer with the right manager, on the right day. |

| Which dealer gave you that incredible deal? I live in So Cal and will probably buy a TSX auto (no Nav) in the next few months. My intention was to wait until prices came down about $1000 to $1500 off MSRP but if I can get your deal I'd do it today. | |

I would love to tell you which dealer in Socal gave me this deal. However, I don't want to promise you that you will get the same deal. Let me explain. Most dealers have salesman that need to make a certain amount by the end of the month. I was lucky enough to run into one of these salesman. He was hungry and wanted to get a sale in by the end of the month. Heck, he was going to sell me a Satin Silver with Ebony interior no/Navi for $25,000, because it was on the lot. So you have to go to the right dealer at the right time and be serious about purchasing the car. I've gotten similar offers at many dealers in Socal. So my advice to you is to be aggressive and if one dealer doesn't give you the deal, then move to another. Another strategy to use is to mention that another dealer offered to sell you the car at $XX and that you came into their dealership to see if they could do better. Let them know that, "I am ready to buy today, if the price is right." and they will compromise a great deal. Trust me! I've done it with many different cars and many different dealers! |

Thanks for the feedback, I will definitely try your tactic. Based on your buying experience, do you know if any particular colors are "hot?" I'm interested in either the meteor silver or artic blue. One dealer told me he had not even seen the meteor silver, or the milano red for that matter. |

I bought one with Meteor Silver last week. As for price, I didn't get them to come down much off of MSRP, but I found that they were willing to give me a lot more than my trade was worth. The dealer wound up giving me about $1300 above bluebook - far more than other dealers had offered. So, at the end of the day, it turned out to be a decent deal. |

Yeah, I know my username is "manualtrans" because I am a car enthusiast and currently drive a manual civic ex. However, after months of driving in the So Cal area in hours of traffic to commute to and from work, I decided to go with the automatic. I would say, manual all the way!!! But, NOT in LA!!! If I was in any other state, I would not have even considered the Auto. So yeah... I got an 5speed Auto Black on Ebony with Navi for $27,150. As far as colors go elrod03, this is what I know. There are a lot of black, silver, white TSXs out there. Of these, the black ones seem to be the hottest. The satin silver seems to be the color that is most available on the dealers lot. As far as the other colors, Milano red is the most common of the more unique colors, but is not all too common. Blue is a little more rare and yes the Meteor Silver is really hard to find. You can get great discounts on these unique colored TSXs that have been sitting on the dealers lot for the last 2 months. They know that most people won't buy them unless they get a great deal. So take advantage of that knowledge and once again be firm about your offers. Down show any signs of compromise, unless you get your target price. They will easily be willing to sell you the TSX at most dealer for at least $25,500 (non-navi). |

A major daily newspaper is looking to interview folks who purchased a car for over sticker price since the beginning of this year. If you have a story to share, please respond to jfallon |
