For all those canucks out there, looks like the first shipment of the 2005 TSX Models have touched ground in Ontario.

I received confirmation that some early shipments came in on November 24th. I will be picking my car up on November 30th from Acura 2000 in Brampton.

Went with the Arctic Blue Pearl 5-speed.

 

Graphite Pearl 6MT, supposed to arrive on the 30th also.

 

welcome to the ABP team!

 

btw dr.phil, as an ABP owner, you must hate on dzuy and call him a as much as possible.

 

Congratulations man, tell us all about this passenger power seat and those lit-up steering wheel buttons, and post some pics!

 

how much did you pay?

 

congrats!!

 

what happened to price in Ontario? How much is it up this year?

 

remember to post pics....i wanna see it.......just curious is the Grey Pearl same as Carbon Grey?

 

For the 2005 5spd. AT:

Sticker: $36,100 for 2005 (vs. $34,800 for 2004) I got a $1,900 discount off sticker, discounted mats, free trunk tray, and discounted protection treatment.

So for the 2005, price worked out as follows for me.
Vehicle minus discount: $34,200
Acura Winter Mats: $ 140
Trunk Tray: $ -
Pre-Delivery Expense $ 700
Freight $ 500
Fed A/C Tax $ 100
Tax for Fuel Consump $ 75
Admin Fee $ 175
Rust/Paint/Fab protect $ 517
Ext. Warranty (max) $ 1,538
-----------
Pre-tax $ 37,945
15% tax (GST/PST) $ 5,692
-----------
TOTAL $ 43,637
-----------

If I didn't get the extended warranty and rust protection, it woulda cost me around $41,300.

Probably didn't get the greatest deal, but I really wanted to get the fresh 05 instead of picking up one of the 04's that have been sitting in the lot for a while.

I will post pics when I get it, and will let y'all know about the extra features.

 

Damn why can't the Carbon Gray came during 04?

 

I picked up my 2005 CG TSX w/ NaviSystem a few days ago. I live in vancouver though but I was promised that the car would arrive at an earlier date but it ended up being almost 2 weeks late.

None the less I have the car now and I'm 100% satisfied with it

 

b_lum81: How much did you pay for your tsx?

 

$39100 including PDI/Freight, but not taxes

 

Dr P: sounds like a good deal, except that that bogus admin fee. Giben the add-ons with the 05's, I guess the $1300 increase isn't too bad.

I live in sothern Ontario and rarely see other white tsx's. However, I was in Vancouver last Friday and saw 3 of them.

 

majority of the TSX's I see in Vancouver are white. Thats why I got the charcoal grey.

 

Honda had to know the direction the Can. $ was moving relative to the US$, so why did the yanks have a $500 increase and Canadians a $1300? Using even an $0.8 dollar, and you can see we are now paying much more for our cars than in America. Even worse for the new RL. I know they hedge currencies, but in this case they would have protected themselves from a falling US dollar, nit a Canadian one. I think they are lining their collective pockets. That said, the TSX is still a very good buy for the money.

 

Go to Toronto, no, actually, markham & richmond hill, you will see PWP every 5 min.

 

Based on 04 prices you overpaid. Going on 05 pricing I don't think you could have asked for more than $1,900 off.

 

So Domn, you think I took them as low as they could go on the 05? You approve of my negotiation skills?

 

If Acura mark up is still about 8% like it was in 04.

36,100 - 8% = $33,212

04 invoice was $32,012. So you paid maybe a few hundred too much but I really have no way of knowing right now what invoice is. $1900 still seems like alot off to me especially for an new 2005.

 

You know that I am looking for a blue TSX and now they have the navi. What do you think I should be looking at for a price? And would it make a difference to negotiate for a price now or when the cars come on the lot?
