Acura RSX Prices Paid and Buying Experience

pky

hey i bought an 06 acura rsx-type s/silver from westmont,il also. my experience with them was horrible! they told me that they were rated #3 in customer service-my reply to that was "i'm not surprised at all as to why you guys are #3 and not #1" salesman and manager had no comeback for that.
i asked my guy friend to call all the acura dealers and ask around for pricing for me b/c everytime i called they would give me the highest prices possible thinking that i was a girl and didnt know anything about cars. all the prices they gave me were about 500-1000 diff from the prices they gave him. finally he got westmont and gave him a price of 23000 flat on a new 06 rsx-type s-he told them that i would call them with my information and when i did call the salesman there he tried to tell me it was for $23250, i told him forget it. he called me back and said there must have been some misunderstanding. i lived in WI so i had to drive to IL for the car. before i got there i called them to make sure the car was ready and detailed, i was told it was ready for me, all i would have to do was get there signed the paperwork and take my car home. when i got there it was not even ready, they wanted me to sign the paperwork without even looking at it and test driving it. i refused. they didnt even detailed the car or wiped the inside. i was very upset and told them forget it. it took them 3 hours to clean out the car and get new panelings on the car. i wanted the car but hated the experience. i refuse to do anymore car buying from this dealership.

I ended up buying a black 06 RSX-S last week at Kearny Mesa Acura in San Diego for $22,770. I used edmunds.com to get quotes from several dealers in Orange, LA & San Diego counties. I also called USAA & had them contact KM Acura since they were the closest ones to me. They got an offer of $22,830. I got a quote of $22,770 from one of the Orange dealers & KM was able to match that. Their fleet department was very easy to deal with. The only option I went with was lojack for $375 (bargained down from $695). I got my extended service contract thru WarrantyDirect.com for $1100 for 7 years/100k miles. Most importantly, I LOVE my new car!

Just got an 06 RSX w/Leather.
Vivid Blue Pearl
5 Speed Manual

MSRP: $22,090
Invoice: $20,266

I paid: $20,719 ($453.00 OVER Invoice)

With taxes (7.25% Ventura County Cali), tag, license, regi and ALL fees ... $22,500 OTD

Purchased from Keys Acura on Van Nuys blvd..

Was a good purchase. I offered 22,500 OTD, they countered with 22,950, I again offered 22,500 OTD (should have offered 22,250 OTD)

They accepted.

I left happy knowing both sides got a good deal. Could I have ground them a few more dollars? Possibly.
Do I think I made a good decision and got a good deal .. YEAH

Oh, and by the way.. the car is for my daughter.
She now gets to make monthly payments to M&D credit union .... (Mom & Dad)

Hi, I am looking at a green 2006 rsx with leather and 10k miles on it. The carfax report says this car was owned by the previous owner for only 3 months. I can't figure that out but my question is about price. The salesman blurted out that he could maybe go to $18500.00 plus tax and everything else. After reading some of these posts it seems like it could be a little lower with 10k on it. Any and all responses are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm betting repo...

with 10K mile, from private seller. Any suggestion?

I have an Acura RSX 2004 type S silver/black with only 20k miles on it, excellent condition with painted fog lights, drill/slot rotors, spoiler, chrome wheels, backup sensors. The price is $17k - check it out on Craigslist.com

1. I got a lease in May 2006 on a 2006 Acura RSX Type-S. I put $1300 down and my payments are $305 per month (including tax) for 36 months with 15k miles per year. Was this a good deal?

2. I have not put as many miles on my car as I thought I would be. Currently I have just under 24,000 miles. I will prob only be driving 750 miles per month going forward which will put me severley under the 45k I pay for. How does this affect me when my lease is up? Will I be able to get this equity out of the car being that it will be worth more than what it would be if I used all 45k? Or will I just lose this all since it's leased? Please explain how that will work.

This won't affect your lease, they will not reimburse you for the miles that you haven't driven. The only way to get some equity for the car is to sell it. You probably will have to buy it from the leasing bank first, then sell. Trading it in will effectively destroy any equity you had on the car.
