I'm shopping for a 6sp w/Nav in Raleigh, NC. None of the dealers here have any in stock or are expecting any, but 2 were located in SC in the exact color I wanted. The first dealer set up a swap and informed me that I'd have it in a few days. Well that was over a week ago. The car they are swaping hadn't arived from Acura yet so they were waiting for it to come in. They now say I will get it on Wed. 10/12. In the meantime I contacted another dealer about an hour away. They setup the swap for the 2nd car that the SC dealer had. They are going down to get it earlier and promise it on Mon. 10/10. The thing is they will drive it to my house but it will have 70+ miles on it vs 20 for the first place that is near my house. The 2nd place is also 300 less. Which would you take?

70 miles - 300 savings - 2 days earlier
or
20 miles - 300 more - 2 days later

 

no doubt the 2nd one. think about it this way, when u get the one 70 miles away, it'll be 370 miles more vs...40 cause you still have to drive it back. Plus, how much is 2 days really? if 300 isn't that much to you, i'd go for the 20 miles one, just cause...i wonder what they did that took them 300 miles...

 

Sorry, I should have been more specific. It's $300 less and when I get it delivered it will have 70 miles due to them driving it from the dealer to my house(they agreed to deliver it) it currently has 9 miles on it. The one close to my house I would be picking it up so when I actually take possesion it would have the 20 miles that it currently has. Both cars are being trucked up from SC.

 

300 dollars would cover a nice tint job

 

70miles and $300 won't amount to jack after the odo reads 40,000miles....

 

 

i think i would just save the 300 dollars and use it for some mods. its an acura its going to last

 

Thanks for the input. I finally made a choice; the dealer near my house brought his price down $300 to match the other one and agreed to go get the car today so I'll be able to get it on Monday night. It's CG 6sp w/Nav. Any other TSXers in the Raleigh area?

 

That's better than both choices! Good work.
