As for putting down a deposit, it doesn't really help for the cars they are getting in since they don't have the exact car I want. I'll keep you guys updated though.
Now's a good time to save some money. If you do a search for threads in this forum, you'll probably find very few that are group buys. So... i think that this is a great opportunity to save some money.
Also, you seemed to have done a lot of work going from dealer to dealer and price comparison shopping at Nalley Acura, then all the way to Ed Voyles, and all the way to Carland to just be "thinking about it". right?

Aaron,you are definitelly sure you are going to buy tomorrow no matter what right?
Also, my mom wants to go there early because she wants get out early and I'll need to check out the colors. I was thinking if we can get the deal done,I am going to go ahead to buy it and you can sign the paper the paper when your girlfriend gets there. Is that cool with you? I am looking around 6 or or 6:#0 pm,I still need to ask my mom though. Let me know

Price comparison was done online. I wanted to go test drive at Nalley since it was closest to me after work, but then they were just about to close so I got a price instead. Ed Voyles was on the way home so I test drove and got prices. As for Acura Carland, I wanna try out the navi. I just wish my parents would actually make a fucking decision so that I know whether if I'm going to get the TSX or just fix my current car. I may end up going there tomorrow and putting down a deposit as long as they can get the car that I want. Did you guys ask how much we have to put down for the deposit?

As to your question about buying tomorrow definately. Of course, we dont want them to know that we are definately buying tomorrow. Otherwise they'll give us a run for our money if you know what i mean.
But more or less yes. I'm pretty much carless now so the answer is more or less yes. I "plan" on getting a tsx tomorrow lol.
If we walk in and they say MSRP or nothing. Then... i'm probably not going to buy. lol. But if everything works out, i'm walking out with one. I hope ABcheng comes through. He's missing out bigtime if he lets a group deal slip through. I mean... think about it... he's the one that started the thread. lol.

Since the residual pricing can be negotiated, plus it's predetermined you can lower your payments significantly and still own the car. You also dont have to worry about mileage with leasing if you plan on buying the car after the lease. This way, you dont have to save up for the down payment.
Besides, how often do you run into the opportunity for the group buy?
Is Monday evening ok for you?

I should show up just to watch the show!!!
Also, if you can swing the $2k added onto your price for the navi, get it. I didn't get it because I thought it was just a gimmick, and I miss not having it EVERY DAY!!!
Just my $0.02. But then again I wish I had an Automatic TSX now also, so my fiancee' could drive it.
Good luck guys!

I'm gonna stop by early in the afternoon. I don't think I'll see you guys there, but if all goes well, I will put the deposit on the black / black 6MT non navi. I'm also gonna go check out the navi to see if I like it or not.

Hey hey... so went to the stealer today. They didnt' have my color. Since i already sold me 4runner, i didn't have a ride. I asked them for a loaner and they said ok. They let me take an 04 w/ nav out until they can get me my color. Leon was so jealous! haha
I get a TSX that's already broken in with 15,000 miles on it already.
This thing is pretty quick. I'm not sure what people are talking about when they say this thing has no power. It's engine pulls very strong to me. And i used to drive a 1999 BMW 540 w/ 300 hp.
Plus the TSX gets 30mpg. hehe
They wanted to charge me $200 to get the car from another dealer. I told them i could just take delivery from another dealer that had my color maybe? And they waived the $200 fee. lol
So basically i've got a free TSX to drive for the next week or so until they find me one.
Leon, How's financing go with yours? Are you picking yours up tomorrow?

Oh yea... this car is tight. The steering is so tight and responsive, and so is the throttle. It's a very smooth ride and quiet too. Car feels very solid. I LIKE IT!
Test driving, and actually driving one for an extended period feels very different.
I even took a turn very quickly today and the thing was absolutely flat. Love it Love it Love it.
Although my 04 had the seat problem. If i braked really hard the seat sort of moves forward about an inch. Not sure what that was about. Also it only had 15,000 miles on it and the leather looked like it was about to crack in certain spots.
Is all that normal? I hope they fixed this for 05.
Alex came through too and at least showed up to put down a $500 deposit. Not our fault the dealer didn't have his color right? So... he's going to get his $500 back after i get delivery on mine. This way we get our group pricing.
thanks Alex!

Yeah, I am picking my 2005 White TSX w/ Navi this afternoon. The price the whole group got was $28,000 (included the protection pkg). Personally I think the whole group got a great deal,but...Oh my god Aaron, I couldnt believe he waived the $200 and gave you a loaner...I need to learn how to negotiate better lol. My financing turned out great, they gave me a lower interest rate than Ed Voyles.
Is your loaner with Navi? I can't wait to drive my TSX.like what I said before,I've never driven a TSX before LOL. Today will be my first time

You shoulda test driven one before you bought it. You're missing out on the fun. Anyways, I'll see what John can do about locating my car. If he can't find it soon enough I'm just gonna get my deposit back. Who knows though, I may end up getting the TSX after all.
#177
Just got back with my TSX. Wow,this car feels so fast and so powerful.It is definitely faster than my 95 camry LOL. I love everything on the car and Navi definitely rocks. I think I still need lots of time to figure out how to use everything
I never driven a car with sportshift before.I didnt know I shifted into the sports shift mode when I got out of the dealerhsip. I was driving for 3 secs and the car kept stop. I parked the car aside and trying to figure out what was wrong with the car. I looked at what I shited into then I realized it was in sports mode LOL.
Once thing I was pretty upset about this deal is the protection package. Remember John said the protection comes with the car right? Well,yes it does come with the car,but not with trunk tray and floor mats. He said Acura Carland's protection package only include the mud guard and the whell locks. He also said if I want the trunk tray and floor mats, I can ask Hugh when is back. So looks like I'll have to talk to Hugh about it when he is back.
Another unexpected thing was the front tag. They put their "Acura Carland" tag in front of my car. I'll have to remove it when I have time. It looks ugly on the car lol.

lol Alex. Like what I told you before, TSX was the only car I was looking. I didnt feel the need to test drive it if I am only looking at one car.

Not sure if you can just "remove" it. Since there are holes that need to be punched out in order to put the front plate on.

He didn't say anything about replacing the gas before i brought it back.

I'll take a look at the tag on Friday. I hope it can be easily removed.
I think I have a great chance getting the trunk tray and floor mats from Hugh. I am going to whine that you got loaner and $200 off, and I didnt get anything. He better give them to me for free lol

I'm pretty sure it can be removed. My Legend which was purchased from Acura Carland had one on and I managed to take one off. I think it bolts on underneath the bumper. My dad's MDX had one of those in front also and he was able to take it off and I think it looked fine. I think we should go back when Hugh gets back and talk to him about pricing. I think he can sell it to us < $28k. So far, I still haven't recieved a call from John, so I don't know how long it's gonna take him to locate the car.
#183
The tag and holder can be removed. I had Ed Voyles take mine off before I even drove off their lot. Also, with my protection package from Ed Voyles I received the trunk tray, wheel locks, mud guards and the regular floor mats. I picked up the all season floor mats for cheap off the internet a couple of months after purchase.
So are you guys saying that the price of the TSX now is $28k without navi? Is this OTD?

You just didn't play your cards right.
Instead of asking "can i get $200 off too?"
You asked, can i get the same deal as Aaron?
Well, of course you can. You already have it at $28,000.
lol
But yes, protection package from Acura is trunk tray etc...
At least i think it's supposed to.
#186
One thing i forgot to mention though.
Man... people were right on this board about the # of compliments i get.
In less than 24 hours i've had this LOANER, i've gotten compliments from my clients, cousins, the chickfila drivethrough dude, and even the cashier INSIDE the micdonalds (no the drivethrough).
I mean... man! It's not even mine! haha
They gave me a silver one.
Think my CG will get even more compliments?

yep... talk to him. Cause i want them too. lol

We'll just be like "well,... we haven't taken delivery on ours yet and we can still head to Ed Voyles since they said their protection package includes all that other stuff and they can match your price too."
#193
Yeah, I cant help you guys on the negotiation since I already got my car. The only thing I need is the floor mats. I hope Hugh will give them to me for free.
I am going to the Acurazine Atlanta car meet at Perimeter Mall next Sat.

Maybe I'm wrong. I will do it when I have time.
Edit: Alin, which listing did you use on autotrader?
It looks like I might not be getting the TSX. My dad spent a shitload of money for a A/C compressor.
John says my car is gonna be in on Saturday. What to do....

Which listing did i use on autotrader? what do you mean? You mean which option?
I used the one in the middle. It's a good compromise and it's cheaper than the most expensive one. Plus you can put a picture in.
