What does this have to do with the Acura TSX you ask? We ended up driving the X3 SO MUCH that when cash 4 clunkers rolled around, it was well worth it to take advantage of the $3500 rebate I got (from my 1990 BMW 325i that barely ran) + I'd have rather spent money on a new car rather than pay BMWFS the whatever overmileage charges I would accure. So I bought the TSX.

And you're right about the lease. My intention originally was to go with a TSX tech either as a buy or a lease. All TSXes in exterior colors I was interested in had ebony interiors, and not having a garage I didn't want the sun beating down on a car with a dark interior. There was a TL with a color combination I liked. I would never have bought a gas thirsty V6 with the accompanying MSRP, but with the lease deal, I will be a happy driver for three years. My monthly lease payments are less than those on my previous TSX base lease.
The lease deals on the TSX were also good. I believe the base model would have been $277 OTD with nothing down except the car I drove in. The tech package was only $10 more per month--$360 over the term of the lease. That surprised both me and the salesman.
The dealership was obviously ready to move some cars last night honoring prices given a week ago, no haggling at all.

The salesman quoted me at $28,900 (before 6.25% tax, title, etc fees). No extra maintenance package offered. I thought this was a great deal until I looked on here and saw what some people were getting (in the realm of 27K).
Any better offers out there?
I know one dealership in Dallas will match anything and beat it by at least $100 but just make sure you have out the door prices in writing before you make the trek (they will try to evade this request but just keep asking). I was living in Houston at the time and came all the way to Dallas to buy this car just to be given the run around at one of the dealerships. I went to another DFW dealer the next morning and they beat the heck out of the price in Houston right then and there.
Also, just for reference, I bought my 2010 TSX for $27,500 out the door. It was the end of 2010 and they had a rebate or two and a tsunami/earthquake hadn't destroyed the acura plant, but the closest I got to that in Houston was around $28250 if my memory serves me correct.
I almost didn't respond to the post because of your username...but I'm not an aggie and therefore not ridiculous. wreck em.
Best of luck
I think I decided at the wrong time to purchase a TSX because every dealer is giving me the same story. Supplies are low and they're not expecting anything until August.
Here is what I've been offered after much negotiation:
Base TSX at the Dealer invoice price of $28,795.00 plus tax, title, tag and a dealer fee of $599.
I have a 2007 Honda Accord I'm looking to trade in with 29,900 miles on it. The trade in value they are giving me is $13,800 and my owed on the car is $11,900 which leaves me with about $2K in equity on the car. This sounded like a good deal but after doing a quick search on KBB and Edmunds, this car can get up to $15K to $16K, is that even realistic? it is in Excellent condition, no accidents.
With the $2K in trade in difference, does this make the deal worth it? Do you think I can get more for the Accord elsewhere? Is it worth it to even go to a Carmax to get a valuation for the car or are the trade in values on KBB inflated a bit?
Overall .. does this sound like a good deal right now? There are no dealer incentives and really no discounts other than the fact that they seem to be giving me a good trade in value on the car.
Any thoughts are welcome.
Thanks
If they are offering you more than you owe on your accord then consider yourself ahead of the game.
To get a realistic number as to what your Accord is worth, go to REAL WORLD TRADE IN VALUES thread here on Town Hall. Depending on what they say, you might be able to squeeze a couple hundred more out of the Acura dealer.
When I bought our 2010 TSX w/ TECH package, the best deal I was able to get was $1000 off MSRP. I bought my car on the last day of Cash 4 Clunkers (August 2009), the 2010s had only been out for about 2 weeks, and there were no 2009 leftovers that I liked. I've got a pretty keen eye on the market for Hondas & Acuras in my area & know that they pretty much sell for invoice. I couldn't believe I was going to pay only $1000 under sticker for a car that usually sells for invoice. 1 year & 9 months later it doesn't make a difference to me what I paid for the car. It is fantastic & I enjoy it.

I'm gonna call BS and buy a VW CC.
You can get at least 15K for your Honda on the outside.
They ended up giving me $15K for my Accord which was fantastic as I went to a Honda dealer and they couldn't come close to that as a trade-in. With a pay-off on the lease of $11,900, I was ahead $3,100 on the trade-in alone. If I turned in my Accord lease, I would have to pay a disposal fee of $350 plus change the tires which would end up costing me quite a bit.
As far as the car is concerned, I got them down to $28,400 plus tax, tag and dealer fee of $599. They tinted the car, installed a backup camera (OEM rearview backup cam), 2 future details, 3 major services all included.
I think I did pretty good. If I waited until August I probably would not have got what I just got for the trade-in, even-though the price of the car itself would have been about $1K less. it all offsets I think.
Can you please tell me what dealership in OC you purchased your TSX from.
Thank you!
Negotiated $31,650 (including $850 delivery) for a 2011 4 cylinder 5 speed automatic with Tech and 0.9% financing.
Did I do ok ?
How did you find buying privately as opposed to from a dealer? Was the private party sale significantly cheaper than going through the dealer?

with the Acura TSX, if they offer you the range of 26K - 27K for Acura TSX 5-speed automatic, it was still awesome compared to my ZIP (75202)
Kwma3, even 29,000 (before tax) was still better than the quote I got here (Dallas, TX Zip 75202). Most dealers here have the internet price of $29,610 for the TSX 5-speed automatic (no Nav). One dealer offered me $29,295 which is about $400 less than most around and I've been hesitating. The Drive-Out cost, after all, with this deal would be $31,416
(tax here is 6.25% and they offer .9% interest rate as well)
So I guess, the quote $29,295 (before tax) was NOT a good deal for me at all?
Thanks for this post. I might as well just hold on, and wait for a while....
Thanks again.
Considering a brand new 2010 TSX V6. I have 2 options, both in New York:
1) 2010 TSX V6 w/tech, Blk/Blk for $31,500 includes all season mats, wheel locks, again, brand new, not a loaner, etc. Also includes destination. (tax, title, extra)
2) 2010 TSX V6, non tech, Blk/Blk for $27,500 includes all season mats, wheel locks, brand new, not a loaner. Also includes destination. (tax title extra)
Questions... Is the Tech package really worth $4k additional?!! Seems kind of crazy.
Does Acura still offer .09% financing on the 2010 TSX v6 for top tier credit?
If I decide to lease, 12,000 miles per year, 36 months. What should I expect to pay based on $3,000 down payment?
Current V6 owners, do you love the car? I am a previous 2003 TL Type S owner.
Seems like a great time to pick up a left over 2010. Any thoughts or input would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Acura203
Go for the TECH package. You get NAV, backup camera, upgraded stereo, voice activated everything... You'll be happy with it.
There probably isn't much lease support on this 2010 TSX, but DO NOT put $3000 down (capitalized cost reduction). If your car gets stolen or totaled, you don't get that money back.
Where in NY is the car?
Good luck & keep us informed.

I live in Meridian, Idaho with 83646. I'm currently holding a spot on a 2007 BMW 328xi with 44k miles with warranty still exist until september 2011. The car is in Utah and its pretty affordable. I'll be happy do dump it and go with the TSX instead.
Shall I go for 27k? The worse is no, right?
Spending similar money on a 4 yr old BMW with only a few months of warranty left on it? That doesn't make sense.
Thanks!

This is a great forum with lot of useful information. I am looking to get myself into a 2009 TSX w/Tech with about 30K miles on it. I live in Michigan and the price I am getting is about $26.5 K. Seems like too much to me considering that for additional few grand I can get a new one based on reading some posts on this forum.
What do you guys say?
Bridgewater Acura, NJ. They got me in and out in a day, drove the car home same day. It's been good so far.
Did you end up making the deal? I'm also looking to purchase a leftover 2010 V6 Non Tech. If you don't mind, could you post any details you can share? THANKS!
Can you let me know a breakdown of your price $31,650.
Did you have to pay only the sales tax on top of this proce?
Thanks
0.9% APR over 60 months, basically free loan.
I'm on my 2nd tank of gas, switched to regular, getting 36mpg on the highway w/regular gas, higher if I avoid slow-downs.
Glad I went with the 2011, would not have gotten the financing or warranty on the same terms with the 2010.
This is my pet peeve in these prices paid forums... Doc fees, even though they (arguably) can't be negotiated, can be quite variable from one dealer to another, especially if you're near state lines.
Sales taxes and DMV fees, for a given state, are set and do not vary from dealer to dealer.
In those states that don't have set limits, you're right, they are all over the place and can be as much as $500 from what I've read in these forums. Some states have no sales tax at all and some are 5% and some are as high as 10%. That is why it is stupid to report "out the door" prices in these forums. The sales price and the dealer doc fee are the two things that are really important. If a dealer charges a $500 doc fee, of course they can go a little lower on the price of the car. If the dealer can only charge $75 than he may demand a little higher sales price. The two deals could be for the same amount but look different.
If you consider high dealer finance charges, low-ball trade-in value, high doc fees, lots of dealer add ons at huge markups, volume bonuses from the manufacturer...hell, they can sell the new car for waaaaay below invoice and still make money.

I have gone in to the dealership to look at the TSX and absolutely love it. I have no experience with negotiating with a dealer and was hoping someone can give me advice.
The dealer closest to me is Plaza Acura on Nostrand Ave.
For those in NYC, what are some deals you got for the TSX (AUTO, W/O TECH PACKAGE)?
Also I've driven my dad's 2005 Honda Accord EX-L from time to time. What are some benefits the TSX has over the Accord?
Thank you in advance.
The newer Accord is a bit different than the 05 but same basics apply when it comes to the difference compared to the TSX. It's mostly features (a few more minor ones on the TSX), feel (the TSX drives better) and size (the TSX is smaller - especially in the back seat). You'd have to drive an '11 Accord and see if those things are worth the higher price of the TSX.
I went in planning to offer 28k for the base without tech.
So was $32000 (before tax) a good deal?
Thanks
I am located in Southern California and looking to buy a new 2011 TSX with a Tech Package.
Contacted a local dealer and was told MSRP is $33,570 and Dealer Invoice is $31,900. The dealer is willing to sell the car to me for $200 over dealer invoice plus tax and license of course. Is this a fair price in the current market? This will be for a new 2011.
Really appreciate any help or guidance you can provide. Also, anything else I should be aware of in regards to where the dealer tries to add in any additional costs?
Thanks so much!!
