I'm getting dumber the more I read posts on this topic! Congrats on the good price bg. For the hot heads- setlle down. Customers don't rip off dealerships- dealers don't have to give on lower prices if they don't want to.

If you want to get $1K off MSRP, you need to go over to Infinity.
Please, I got $1500 off of msrp with minimal haggling. No one is getting ripped off here. The dealership does the real ripoff when they offer 7K for my tradein that I sold myself for 10K...within a week...Also, please show me where it proves that retail pricing effects resale value. Im calling you on that one beacuse I think you pulled it out your arse.
Margin on TSX's isnt that high??
Do you work for a Saturn dealer??

You know, its funny how quickly cars that are "selling like hotcakes" all of a sudden become hard to sell when you get up and start to walk away from the dealer.
Comedy...You MUST be a sales guy...

It's getting a little hot in here, not in a good way.
As bg has gotten some, um, useful information and this thread has taken a not-so-great turn, I'm going to have to close it.
Try and be a little respectful of each other in the future (not pointing out anyone in particular).

Do you work for a Saturn dealer?? Retail pricing will always have an effect on resale values. Example, Q45s retails for 55K+ because its not a hot seller and discounts are steep it directly effects what a used one will/can sell for. Why do you think used Q45s are some of the best buys in the used car market. RLs are another example, they retail for 46K+ but actually sell in the 37k range new...what do you think that will do to the 02s and 03s? More incentives and rebates offered on new cars, the softer that same model used will be. Took that out of my arse.

Bottom line is if a dealer wants to sell below market value...thats their business. If they are ok with making a couple hundred bucks on a car who are we to turn them down. On the other hand if a dealer is selling in a hot market and inventory is low...they can ask for above market value...and who are we to call them a**holes.

This thread turned sour not because questions were asked about pricing. Its about the thread starter with a big ego and too lazy to do a search to find the answers he is looking for so instead he wants everybody to cater to him.

But I'll give you my 2 cents on your comments above. Your comparing apples to oranges. I got a discount of 1500 off of msrp for my TSX, what a REAL steep discount.
Your talking about a 46K car that is selling for 9K less? Not even in the same ball park. Of course that will effect the resale. Good points, but were talking about the TSX here, which was tsx-mdxmans main consern. Oh, and last time I checked there are no incentives or rebates for the TSX.

Your talking about supply and demand, but your forgetting that each dealer has competition, regardless of the supply. And your fooling yourself if you dont think each dealer would try to out bid the other. Thats exactly how I got my discount from my local dealer.
I dont blame dealers that are firm on their prices that dont have any compition within a 50 mile radius. I had about 10+ Acura dealers competing for my business, so I was luckly I guess.
And finally, I wouldnt call any dealer who tries to sell a car above market value an ahole...
I'd call them "Out of Business".

But you send a pM to a mod complaining I commented on the thread after it was closed. So I reopened just so you can make the last comment before its reclosed.
Hows that for service.

Listen...bottom line is NO ONE IS BEING LAZY! I am just trying to get the best price possible. Why would ANYONE want to pay full price for something when it is CLEAR that people are getting it for less.
thank you to those who have responded and were helpful
to those who were not helpful....
