Like many, I have been following along with this forum for months, preparing to buy a TSX. Well i finally did this weekend. Did the whole deal on the phone with the internet sales manager. Here's the deal: Carbon Gray/Quartz, non nav, proc pack, AUTO veh price: $25, 296 plus doc fee 289, total: 25,585 that price includes protection package ,which they offered to throw in for $250 after we had the final price, but I got it included. I bought of out state so tax will be taken care of later. In conclusion I am very pleased with the deal and the service at the Acura Dealer (Pye in Chatt TN), I worked out the deal on saturday and drove up there sunday to pick up and sign, they had the car pulled into the showroom. Very positive experience all the way around. As far as the car itself, i like the color more every time i see it, this car is beautiful and I cant believe the price considering comparable vehicle will cost thousands more. Thanks for sharing everyone and giving me a starting place for negotiations.

Say folks, I like many of you have been watching this site for some time and need some help. I'm looking to buy in June or July and I've done a great deal of research on the car. I'm a good negotiator and have a quote of 26,285 which I haven't responded to yet. I'm going to counter at 25k and work from there targeting a max of 25,650. Anyway I saw in one post that someone got: $25,600 before doc fees, tax, and DMV fees ($27,369 OTD). My problem is I've never bought a new car before so could some of you veterans give me some info on the addt'l costs I'm going to incur and do I pay them all that day? I want to joing the TSX owner group, but I refuse to go into the poorhouse to do it. My budget can stand a maximum of 27,000 total including fees etc. I live in NC if that helps any.

Replying to: bt06 (May 06, 2004 12:07 pm) As far as additional costs go, www.carbuyingtips.com has good info on some of the fees the dealers may try to pass on to you. Most popular ones are window etching fee and marketing fee. Do not pay these fees! When we bought our other car a few years ago, the dealer had the window etching fee pre-printed on the buyer’s bill. They said they had already etched the VIN# on the windows but I refused to pay for it (after all, I never authorized the work!) They reluctantly took it off. The only “legitimate” fee is the documentation fee. Most likely this will not be directly negotiable but you can try to offset that with a lower sales price. Doc fee is typically $150-$300 so make sure you find out how much it is. (Doc fee is just another way for them to make more money off of you, how many clerks do you know get $75/hour for calling the DMV?) After you come to a verbal agreement, get them to fax over the buyer’s bill to make sure there are no other hidden fees. If the numbers checks out, you can seal the deal with a credit card deposit. If this deal doesn't go through, try calling the Internet Sales departments of the other dealers. Ask them if they have what you are looking for in stock. If they don’t, check to see what they will be getting in their next shipment. If they have what you want, make them an offer and prepare to negotiate from there. It does appear dealers are more willing to negotiate toward the end of the month, but you may run the risk of not getting the exact car you want. Good luck! |

| Got it for 28571 before TTL. These cars are EXTREMELY hard to find where I live. I'm having to drive 2.5 hours to pick this one up. Overall this price was in line with quotes I got from two other dealers in the area. Actually a couple hundred less. Not bad, I guess. | |
I too have been browsing this forum for quite some time and am generally pleased with the content of the forum. I am interested in purchasing (or leasing) a TSX non-navi within the next 2-3 months. This will be my first new car purchase and as a woman I was wondering if there were any other women on the board who had experiences with purchasing/leasing TSX in northern New Jersey area.

I am very interested in buying a TSX, the only thing is that my budeget is sort of restricting me. I have two questions: 1. what kind of financing do acura's dealership offer? Are the pretty high? Is it out of the question to have a low rate? 2. I know that the average selling price of the TSX is 25600 or so there about. Again do u think it is impossible to get it for 24000. I will be going at the end of this month. Probably over memorial day weekend or even on memorial day which ends up being the last day of the month. i know the invoice price is around 24000 but I just want to know if i am being completel unrealistic.

Replying to: rockinrobyn927 (May 12, 2004 11:53 am) Go to your bank or credit union and get approved for the best loan terms that you can, before you go shopping. Then after you have negotiated your deal, ask the dealer what they can do.. If they are higher, ask them to beat your financing rate. This is the only way to find out how low they can go. regards, kyfdx |

Replying to: smh5 (Apr 29, 2004 5:39 am) I need your advice. I just got my first quote on a 2004 TSX 6-Speed with Navigation for $27,503 before TT&L from Internet Sales at Acura North Scottsdale in Arizona. What do you think I should counter offer? I was thinking $26,200. I know the Invoice is $25,967. I believe their next offer would be at $600-$1000 over invoice. What do you think? What has anyone else paid for a car close to that? |
