I pulled the trigger and bought a TSX after lurking on the forums here for a while. I got a 2006 Black on black AT no Nav. I got it for $26,646 OTD. No dealers in St. Louis would even come close nor did they have a black on black in stock so I bought one in Chicago and I'm just gonna fly up Saturday morning and drive it home.

Sweet! Enjoy the ride!

ninjamyst

oh wow! Which dealer in Chicago? That's a pretty good price! I would have driven it down to St Louis for you =). I live in Champaign which is like 3 hours away.

LoveMyTL-S

Have a nice flight! And an even better drive home. Congrats

Grats on your purchase!

How does that work with sales tax and license/registration? Do you pay the sales tax where the car is purchased and license/registration of where you live?

ninjamyst

Is your price with TTL? Because $26,646 is about $600 over invoice. If that's your total price with TTL, that's like $1500 under invoice!!! I went to McGrath at Morton Grove and did not have a good experience....

I spent a little more at $26,815 to get my 6MT non-navi (which are harder to find than ATs) a couple months ago, but I only had to go to Springfield, MO to get it. I agree that the St. Louis dealers didn't want to deal much.

AamirCWITR

you pay sales tax where the car will be registered. so the price of that car , or the out the door price is going to be about 1000-2000 more depending on tax in the home state.

STL

In Missouri, we don't pay sales tax until you go license the car; with the temporary tags you get you have about 30 days befores you have to do that. So our OTD price does not include TTL.

ninjamyst

Thanks for the info! I keep forgetting St. Louis is in Missouri. I always thought it's in Illinois because it's only a few hours from me....

LuvMyTSX

Wow, yet another new owner. Congrats and enjoy!!

STM

Well, I actaully brought mine (05 auto NAV) last Xmas in Manchester Acura. And yeah, they are not very good people to deal with. But I didn't feel like driving all the way down to springfield or KC to get mine. So.....

Post pics when you get it!!

fuckleberry

wow flying to pick up a car lol

Always hard to compare OTD price her in Cali, bayarea. I paid 27,972 w/ navi, 6spMT and OTD price of 30,500. I feel ripped off compare to some of the OTD price outside of Cali.

You go to the U of I? I might've seen your TSX rolling around campus.

ninjamyst

Nope...not mine. I am buying mine this weekend. So far I have seen 1 ASM '06, 2 Black '05, and 1 White '05 around U of I. I have seen the white and black in Wimpe parking lot a few times already.

Back to topic...this saturday is the last day of the month so dealers in Chicago are trying to set sales record for April....hopefully I will be driving Carbon Grey MT w/navi tomorrow (after I learn how to drive MT first.... )

sander

Yeah, I was saving about $700 by going to Chicago. Flight is only $117. The dealer called me a few hours ago to confirm that one of his guys is picking me up at the airport.

PS. They said they can only give me a 7 day tag instead of a 30 day tag. It's not that big of a deal.

juicygirljen

congrats and have a nice and safe trip!

Alright Everyone Thinks They Got The Best Deal In Town. Every State And County Have Different Sales Tax Rates And Dmv Fees Rates Too. It Depends Where You Live, Not Where You Buy Your Car From Which Delaership.
For Me, In California. My Residence's County Tax Rate Is 7.75 Percent, And California Dmv Fees Are Calculated Based On Selling Price ( Before Sales Tax And Doc Fees Of 45 Bucks) X 2 Percent X 0.325 + About 63 Bucks For Misc Fees). And Add 8.75 For State Tire Fees, Required.

FOR CALIFORNIA, ALL FEES ARE PAID AT DEALERSHIP BEFORE YOU CAN GET THE CAR OFF THE LOT.

My Price Is About 25613 Plus Tax And Lic On My New 2004 Tsx With Navi Auto Trans. Not Preown, Not Used, Not Unwind. It Is Brand New With 5 Miles On The Odometer. I Bought It Back In Summer 2003. My Buddy Just Gave It Away To Me Becuase I Gave Him Enough Deals All The Time! This Is The True Invoice And At That Time, No Special Incentatives To The Dealers.
Warranty? I Got Acura Care For 795 Bucks For 5 Years 100k Zero Deductible. Rate? 2.9 Apr For Six Years With American Honda Finance Corp, Due To Special Honda Loyalty Customer.

However MO residents pays personal tax on cars. And that changes every year. That can be approx be $600.00 a year. The reason why my car is registered in Illinois... my Northbrook, IL home. I do have to renew my plates fees every year, but it's only $78.00. I think MO residents can write off some of personal tax fees during tax season.

Enjoy the ride home.

you may have seen mine...black with parchment interior?

sander

Everything went prefect today, except for the weather, it rained pretty much the whole day. The dealer was right on time at the airport. The car was ready and they had all of my paperwork ready. I would give them a recommendation. The drive home took about 4.5 hours. It was a nice way to get a feel for the car.

ninjamyst

looks great! is that a Saab 9-5 in the background?

Enclenta

Wow! Looks very nice. Thanks for sharing.

sander

No, it's a Saab 93. My wife had always wanted a Saab convertible. It handles great, but the road noise from being a convertible is pretty bad. We've had it almost 4 years, and only have 18,000 miles on it. We'll sell it this year and our Honda Accord and proably get an Audi or something for her.
