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.

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.

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.
