thanks, nyccarguy. I bought it from Springfield Acura. I didnt get any freebies though despite trying (not even wheel locks). The next best deal was 34k OTD at Precision Acura. All others wanted at least $800-1000+ over invoice because these cars are in demand and/or the supply is tight. Springfield acura seems to have better inventory than others.

What's a good price for 09 with Tech by gpb59

I believe here in Las Vegas they still have several of these in inventory at both dealerships. What would be a good price to offer on them. I imagine they must be stubborn with parting with them because I've checked several dealers in southern cal that have none left.

buying the TSX by trendy10

I closed the deal on a '09 base model in early August. I got an OK price but probably could have done better. What really pissed me off were the sales people. First, the "appraiser" shows up and tells me the market has collapsed on the used Accord I am trading in. So much BS. Then this guy tells me his Honda buyer is giving him the numbers. He can't ID the guy. So, more BS. Then, I get passed on to the Internet sales guy and he wants to borrow my keys so he can look at the car again. Funny, but he does not return them and I am waiting. This is an old sales trick that I thought was long ago phased out. So, I am looking at the sales guy like he is a fool but doesn't know it. This crap goes on and on and on. A couple of more stunts were pulled before I was passed on to the "closer" sales manager. He was an OK guy but had to continue with the charade of the "key" thing. I finally had to ask for my keys and I gave the guy a really shitty look, like who does he think he's kidding. As it turned out, I finally bought the car the following week but their detail shop did an incomplete job and I had to wait around. I had not paid for the car yet and nearly walked out. Anyway, I have the car but would just as soon forget about the jerks I had to deal with at the dealership. Sorry that I cannot disclose the dealership but it is in the greater Seattle area.

Sorry to hear you had such a bad buying experience. Normally, I'd rather have a root canal than buy a car, but my experience was good this time around.
 
That is BS about your Honda. Used cars are actually selling BETTER than new cars. Because of this, most dealers are marking up the price. So I'm sure they will make a pretty tidy profit on your Honda.
 
Hope you really enjoy the new TSX! Maybe the driving pleasure will help ease the pain.

wheel locks are useless anyway. You have to keep them IN THE CAR in case you get a flat and have to change a tire. So a would be thief who REALLY wants your wheels will break your window & rummage through your car to get the wheel locks.

Ah.. you gotta love the service these days! I have a Honda dealership here that is the same way. Completely rude. Thinking that its my first time around the block. I know my way around people. lol, they act like we're dumb. Atleast if your honest, and just tell me that you cant move on the deal, then to lie to me. I would respect you much more. Don't insult us. Plus, they have young kids running the joint, and I know more about the car than they do.
 
My thinking is that word of mouth can be good or bad for your business, you treat me well, and I am a free bulletin board for your business. Trust me, I tell everyone not to go there. They don't! Apparently, I am not the only one. lol, I am going to a bigger city to get my next car. Where there are real dealerships, that are professional.
 
Its too bad. I work with a lot of people, so I always tell them to not go there!

Last year (New Year's Eve) I was going to trade in my 3 1/2 years old 05 TSX for a 2008 BMW 535xi (I've owned Acuras since 1986 - Integra (86), Vigor (92), and current TSX). On the trade-in, I was offered $11.5K for a excellent conditioned TSX w/31K miles (book was $15.7K). I laughed, paid off the car (owed $5K) on New Year's Day, and just loving the current deals happening, and the value of pre-owned cars staying steady. I still like driving my TSX, but I LOVED the Integra (5 speed).

Private sale 06 TSX by biker4

Paid $18,600 for a virtually new 06 TSX MT w/NAVI with 20K miles on it. The previous owner bought it 4/07 (sat around somewhere for 6 months - originally delivered to Curry Acura in NY but it was bought at Radley in VA). Basically, it's a 2 yr old car. Original sticker was over 30K. I was looking for any kind of mark on it while washing it and I finally found one, barely, and it's not even on the front of the car. Just a thought for some of you debating new vs. used.

That seems like a pretty good buy. I just found someone on Craigslist with the same TSX, Navi, 35K, and is asking for $19,400. I'd like to use your example to talk her down. When did you buy?
