Replying to: 2008stype (Nov 24, 2008 12:21 pm) A major issue, however, is that this is an out-of-state purchase, and I am planning on closing the deal by phone/fax/Fedex, then having the car delivered to me. Any idea if this is a risky proposition? What are the chances I will get a lemon?! This is a brand new car from what appears to be a legit Acura dealer. Wonder if any problems I might run into over the ensuing weeks/months can be fixed at a local Acura dealer and covered by the factory warranty, or would this turn into a blame game between manufacturer and dealer of origin, with me left holding the bag?

The S is a very nice car my issues are minor: 1. no rain gutter in the door so water runs down the door panel when the door opens in the rain. 2. Center arm rest is not big enough for CD cases - since the car has a 6 CD changer go figure? 3. The trunk is so well finished there is now way to tie the trunk down if your hauling something long. I guess you not suppose to haul lumber with an Acura. I am enjoying mine. I thought I had the Doc fee thrown out but on re-inspecting my bill I had $!50 under DOC fee line. I think they "explain it" as something else as they had quoted me $495 which I told them no way! We will have a limited production Acura. I get complements on my often.

Replying to: 2008stype (Nov 30, 2008 9:26 am) I also asked the dealer to send me pics of the car. They already faxed me the woindow sticker. I would like to fly there and take care of it, but there are some pressing family obligations at this time that would make it difficult for me to get away for even a day (I acknowledge that my timing is quite miserable). Also, I found some vehicle transport quotes for $400-550, which includes full coverage insurance. To me, that's a relative drop in the bucket. And I'd feel kind of bad if I went to pick it up (instead of transporting) because I would automatically put ~400-500 miles on it (distance between dealer and me) right from the day of purchase. There's also the issue of car seats. I'm in the process of checking out local models (that are either wrong color or wrong trim) to see if they will accommodate an infant and a child safety seat. If they don't fit well, then I may need to go with another car altogether (which may cause me to go into full-blown depression).

Replying to: mjf70 (Nov 29, 2008 8:49 pm) MSRP 39445 Agreed Price 35550 Cost Reduction 395 Doc fee + Reg +Bank Fee + 1st month payment 1605 (so 2k total at signing) MF .00211 469 a month including all taxes  I can't say the dealer because they did not want me to "spread the word" as they cannot sell them that low to everyone. (700 under invoice) But it is in NJ. I negotiated my ass off for this deal though and talked to mutiple dealers. Many will say they can't do this low, which is wrong because they can- but their profit will be extremely slim so they may not want to. |
