Dover/Newark here.


tsxhunter, i thought price acura was awful when buying my 06 tsx.....they wouldn't budge on their "no haggle low price" which was actually few hundred more than castle acura.

I do not understand their no negotiation pricing at all.

Castle Acura is good for their free oil changes for the lifetime of the car. Def a plus when buying from Castle.

Maybe they've changed. We bought a CL for thousands under invoice when the car was discontinued, and the service was (repeat was) excellent. Been a couple of years...

sweet finally some people in Delaware I live in Smyrna,

I did buy my 05 from Price in Camden, tried Castle but the sales manager was totally just flat out rude to the salesman that was helping me

Price did give me an additional $500 off the price when I finally did go down to pickup my car.

We all need to get together for a mini show

No I don't he wasnt rude to me he was rude to his salesman in front of me and my wife. Really turned me off, figured if he treated his own employee that way how would I be treated.

No need to apologize. I would agree with you if I didn't live in the Norfolk, Va. area for a couple years.

It's most likely going to be from Castle Acura. I'm waiting till the 30th of May since this day could produce the best price for the car and because it's the last day Acura dealerships have to meet sales targets. This could be a big advantage when dealing with the sales team there.

nice, check out edmunds for all the base pricing and dealer holdback, I think its like $1k or $3k use them to your advantage as well.

I sure will checkout edmunds out TSXHunter05.

This community has helped educate me by providing me with very valuable information about how Acura conducts business and also other aspecst of owning a vehicle like the TSX. I would have been at the mercy of the dealer if I did not know all the information acquired from AcuraZine.

So when do you think we should have this mini meet?
