Thanks again to all of you, especially those who took the time to respond to my post. Knowing what many of you paid helped a lot in my negotiations. I started by getting internet quotes from 8 area dealers but after phone, email and in-person contacts, the lowest price I could get was $25,600. I then expanded my search to 14 additional dealers in PA, NJ, DE, MD, & VA. The best prices came from Bobby Rahal Acura in Mechanicsburg, PA and Metro Acura in Philadelphia. I was just about to buy from one of them when a local dealer agreed to match their price. Yesterday I bought the carbon grey automatic without navi for $25,100 at Tischer Acura in Laurel, MD. The documentation fee was $99 and they included wheel locks and the trunk tray. (Please patronize the above Pennsylvania dealers to assuage my guilt--I wanted to buy from them because they were so helpful but Laurel is so much closer than Philly.) The negotiations with dealers in this area were difficult. I mentioned to more than one salesman the fact that I had read on this forum what actual people were paying for this car. The response of the dealers was overwhelmingly negative. They told me that the braggarts on this site are liars and impostors. I was lectured a few times about the laws of supply and demand and told that "holdback is the dealer's money and therefore not [the salesman's] to negotiate". In the end, the only way I was able to crack the local market was to get offers from outside the area and show them that to save hundreds of dollars I was prepared to pay the small $24.50 bus fare to Philadelphia. I hope this adds to the general store of knowledge. Good luck to those still in the hunt.

I got a 2004 TSX auto with navigation in (Carbon Gray - yes CG again) for $27,112+TTL. I went through Autoland in LA who made the experience so enjoyable and easy. Gary Andrews was the consultant and he was excellent. The dealer delivered the car to my house and Autoland is scheduling a time to pick up my trade. I only went to the dealer once for 10 minutes to test drive the car. Never entered the showroom or dealt with a salesman.
