A 19% drop. TL sales were up 22% so overall car sales increased a bit year-to-year.
A-Spec includes:
* High performance shocks and springs
* Lightweight 17-inch alloy wheels
* Aero kit featuring:
o Air dam
o Chin spoiler
o Side skirts
o Rear wing spoiler
* A-SPEC badging
Is this a fair and/or reasonable price?
also, does anyone know what acura is charging on loans for certified pre-owned, assuming I have good credit? edmunds shows 5.99% for new 2008 TSX's :sick:
The resale prices of 1st gen TSXs seem to have taken a hit recently. 1 yr old '08 with less than 10K miles go for less than $25K and 2-3 yr old ones with less than 25K miles go for under $20K. Unless you really want an A-spec, an 07 with low miles for $20K makes more sense.
I purchased 2009 Acura TSX w/o Navigation for my wife yesterday. I have requested quotes using Edmunds from several near-by dealer (in Central Flroida) and accepted an offer from Courtesy Acura, Sanford (Orlando). I negotiated the final deal over phone and picked up the car.
The buying experience was very good and I dealt with Glen Clarke (Internet Sales Manager). I would recommend Courtesy Acura. However, I strongly recommend everyone to finalize the deal via phone/email before entring the dealership.
Purchase details:
MSRP = $29,720
Invoice = $27,381
Selling Price = $27,300
Dealer Fee = $600
Net price before TTL = 27900 (i.e., ~$500 above invoice)
I think I could have save a couple of hundred dollars if I spent more time bargaining, but I was happy with the deal.
BTW, I made my own arrangements for financing and I did NOT trade-in a car. Also, I did NOT get any other accessories.
Lastly, I really appreciate the useful comments from several members of this forum that enable me to estimate a decent buying price for this car.
That is the model I want.
All prices include destination and exclude tax tags
Karen Radley $27,878 + 385 proc
Pohanka $28,375 +399 proc
Chevy Chase $27,898 +100 proc
Radley $27,398 + $385 proc
Is anybody doing much better than this? Are these prices reasonable? Are there any other hidden incentives available? Any idea if it's better to wait for December as I have some flexibility with the timing? Will there be an interest rate offer in December?
The Sandman :mad:
I wonder if it can be near at invoice nowadays. Anyone got any experience?
I also noticed Pohanka has a bunch of 08s (loaner fleet?) w/ less than 10K mi for 22,900 - down $2k from a couple of months ago. Seems like resale values dropped a lot on previous gen models.
Purchase price: 27,250.00 + TTL @ 2.99% over 60 months.
When you have some time, wondering if you could provide the December MF and Residuals for 2009 TSX base model for 15K miles/year, for 36 months. Also, if I decide to go with a 2008 model, how much do you think it might be discounted?
Thanks so much for your assistance.

MF is 0.00263, residual is 62%. Same as last month and good until 1/5/09. Considering the standard MF is 0.00290 they are not really giving you much of a break.
None of the dealers quoted more than $30,300, so I would not pay anymore than that. We qualified for the .9% financing, but went with the 2.9% for a smaller monthly. The total paid is only about $2000 difference, and we can pay off prinicipal early if we wish.
All in all, these are historic deals, so if you are able to buy and sitting on the fence, now is a great time to buy. BTW, the TSX is one GREAT car.. :-) every bit as good as an IS-250 or BMW, Audi 4, and $4,000 less
I meant Consumer Reports, not Consumers Guide. I highly recommend their online price and features guide and reviews. They will list Dealer Holdback and other hidden incentives. Also, when they test a car, it is purchased as a consumer would, so the car company doesn't know they are being reviewed. This avoids any bias from getting a car as PR.
They like Acura's and TSX's & TL's but have not issued recommendations based on the 2009's just yet.
We came in ready to buy, and I'd start with a low-ball bid, just to see if there was any hidden dealer cash to make the sale. We'd then bid upwards using the lowest price quote from a printed email (this is important).
Even though this is a rare trim, everyone was very eager to sell a car. We were all alone at the dealerships we visited, with only 1 or so other sets of people at the most. This was on Saturdays and Sundays.... wow.
Our family routinely drives Hondas into the 200K (one pushing 300K) mile range without undue repairs, just routine maintenance (bought used, yet).
You did great on the deal, right up until the F&I guy got hold of you.
Either way, I'm sure you'll enjoy the car. I've got a red one too, (last year's, before the beak) with a manual transmission -- it was a hard one to find and had to be brought in from CO, so I got not such a good deal. However, I didn't give the F&I guy one red cent.
Thanks.
The pricing was as follows:
$26,200 (including destination) vs. $27,398 (invoice) - $1200 UNDER invoice
$400 processing fee
$10 online state registration filing fee
3% Virginia tax - $800
Other state licensing, registration stuff about $100
$27,500 on the road and out the door and I got my pick of any TSX they had in stock. Good thing, because I didn't even know which color I wanted. Note this wasn't a dealer demo or damaged in transit as I picked which car I wanted after the deal was done. Extras that they included in the deal include wheel locks, rubber mats, and of course the free oil change.
Earlier in the day, Radley also accepted my "offer" to pay $26,200, but Pohanka ended up being closer. I financed the deal as well for the 0.9% financing from American Honda and the salesperson told me that they get like a $200 kickback for sourcing the financing customer.
