1. Why is that quoting the invoice from Pohanka is a bad thing? The invoice is $25,781 according to Edmunds.
2. If Radley is better, why didn't you buy your TSX from them, instead from a dealer in Maryland (Rosenthal Acura?). Was it because you purely wanted to save the processing fee (lower in Maryland).
3. How much did you pay for your TSX, if you don't mind sharing?
Based on my on research, I would try getting a TSX w/o navi OTD price for $27,000 from any of the local dealer here. This is based on the following factors:
1. It is near the model year end for the 2007 TSX.
2. Acura gives dealer marketing help of $300 according to Edmunds.
3. I have a college classmate who worked for an auto company, who told me that the public invoice amount is not the true cost to the dealer. He told me the dealer's true cost would be about 85% of the MSRP, plus dealer's own expenses (lot, lease, salaries, etc.).
4. Therefore, I consider it a fare bargain to ask for something close to the invoice. If so, my calculation would end up around $27,700.
5. I would take that price down further at least $300 to offset the Acura marketing incentive to the dealer. So I would have the range of $27,000-$27,400 to work with.
Finally, if the dealer and I stalled at $27,400, I would ask for at least 2 years of oil change, tire rotation, etc.
Wish me luck.
Thanks!

I already test drove the car and I really liked it a lot and the car is in great shape. I carfaxed the VIN and it was a 1 owner coming off a lease. The price says $15990 with a $2000 trade in or down so the price is actually $17990. What price you think I can get the dealer down to????
I have still to buy my TSX. I think i'll wait till the end of the month, when prices will be cheaper because dealers have to get their inventory out for comissions.
pulled the trigger today on a 2007 TSX w/ NAV Carbon Gray Pearl w/ Quartz interior and 13 miles on it. Price w/ destination charge was $28250. Texas vehicle tax (6.25%) was $1,093.75 (after a $10750 trade-in was subtracted from price). Title & other fees totaled $243.38. Total "out the door" cost was $29587.13.
Gillman Acura in N. Houston, Texas. Easy to work with (responded to my e-mail within 10 minutes and didn't try to change the qoute upon my arrival at the dealership), reasonable trade-in allowance, both the internet sales guy and the F&I guy were professional and straight forward with no BS (both tried to sale the "extras" but neither were pushy about it). Good experience and would recommend them.
I am in the same boat as you and sorta waiting until the end of June to start "aggressively" looking for the TSX in the Washington DC area. The salesman from Pohanka was the most aggressive in contacting me of all local Acura dealers. His initial offer was $27,499 for w/o navi (including freight, but TTL extra). He also mentioned that price would be the "easiest" part once I mentioned my intention to get a w/o navi TSX for around $27,000. Given that there's a difference of $2,000 between w/o and w/ navi, we are really talking about $1,500 potentially real hard bargaining at Pohanka.
I have been checking the inventory at Pohanka. Apparently, they are still having new shipment of TSX on the weekly basis, so there are plenty of choices in colors. I also estimated that they are selling 4-5 TSXs (all trims) a week. I know the current 1.9% low interest rate would end on 07/02/07, but I could hardly believe that it wouldn't get extended through the summer until the last 2007 TSX model is sold.
Acura makes most of its profit from the TLs and MDXs, so I am taking my time to wait for the best time to get my TSX (or my wife's...sigh!)
I am in the exact same boat as you looking at the same dealerships for the same car. Like to use your numbers as a good point of reference.
Thanks!
The internet sales manager at Pohanka said he might have been able to beat that, if I had given him a chance. I never played one against the other. I just took the best 1st offer.
Edmunds invoice: $25,781
Sale price over invoice: $50
Freight: $670
Sales tax (3.17% in VA): $840
Processing fee: $250
Tags: <$100
Total estimates: $27,600 - $$27,700 with lifetime oil change.
Personally, I consider this a fair deal. The dealers have to make a living after all. I might go with Pohanka simply because they were the oldest Acura dealer in our area, and closest to where I live.

Selling price: $26,200
Tax (NC 3%): $786
Doc fee: $300 (negotiated the selling price down)
Title/tags: $58
Trunk mat/wheel locks/splash guards included.
How did I do?
did they charge NC sales tax even though delivery in GA?
Does this sound about right? Seems a little higher than what others are paying.
On average, for how much more does a TSX with Nav sell for? Seems to be about $1000 more.
Dealers here can do 30,000 OTD for a 2007 TSX w. Navi, but not much lower than that . Tax here is 6.25%
Also included were the wheel locks, all weather interior mats, cargo tray, wheel & door guards, and mud guards in the front and back.
Total price with tax and licenses----> $28210
Got 3.9% for 60 months through AHFC.....
Did I get a fair shake here in California...Need your help
I was asking for $27500 + TTL for AT w/Navi, but I could not get it.
I am trying to push down to $27500 w/o TTL now.
I thought Acura was going to change the model entirely for the 08. :confuse: :confuse: I guess not.
non nav 07 TSX
they wouldn't even throw extras like window tint / all season floor mats, etc.
