I just got a call form our salesperson. Hint:
My car is in!
I'm going in, either Friday or Saturday. Time to clean the garage. Bolt down anything that could potentially fall on my new car.
Who else is ready to pick-up their car?
I know Emperuman is the 1st to pick-up.
Am I 2nd or 3rd?

Emperuman... nice!!!!! I am definitely envious of you and your new ride, you're making my wait even more agonizing.
You're gonna call him "Le Machine"? You make it sound like that cartoon skunk Pepe LePew! :lol: I was thinking more along the lines of BAMF (Bad Ass Mutha F**ker). Well, maybe if you tint the windows.
Enjoy the ride.

I actually call some of my things I like because of their high quality or high capacity "la machine de guerre", meaning the war machine. (it can handle lots of abuse)

I'll do my best to make it the most viewed.
Thanks to Kenji to start this thread and G36 to follow through.
I'm picking up my car tomorrow, and I know this will be the beginning of a perfect relationship.
I'll try to be patient and not wax the car right away. There was a post either here or s2k.com about not to wax the car immediately. The reason was the paint might not fully cure.
What wax do you intend to use for your new toy?

How long did it take to get your car. Was it a dealer trade or did it just come in?
As for wax, use carnauba, it breathes and is safe on clear coat because it breathes.
Glad this all worked out for everyone
Still waiting on ours, maybe by the end of the year but not holding my breath

picked up our new ride!!!!
Hi all-
Just wanted to let you know we picked up our PWP/Pmt/Auto/non nav last night. The whole check out went without a hitch and was a lot of fun. There are so many cool features on this car! I'm going out right now for a spin. Jesus was a real pleasure to deal with. This was the easiest car buy ever for us. Thanks again Len!!!!!

Great new, larrymoecurly! Fortunately for me, you got the non-nav PWP/Auto, so I had to get the next Nav model coming in--probably around 12/25. I'm trying to keep a straight face and avoid jumping up and down....but I CAN'T WAIT!!

Well, that's one way to justify getting the NAV! You'll love the PWP. I was just a little unsure about whether I should get the SSM or the PWP, and I'm so glad I got the PWP. It looks amazing day and night! Hope you pick up your ride ASAP.

I picked up my car on Saturday! My car came in naturaly and no care package was installed. Only 7 miles on the Odometer. Didn't get my rebate yet.
Can't floor it, so don't know about hard acceleration. However, it's faster than Ford Focus w/o ever reaching 4K RPM (Rental car)
Exited early to take Hwy 12. Can't stand getting passed by semi's.@ 65 mph.
XM reception of Opera complements perfectly with the scenic winding roads of Sonoma Valley. Never was an Opera fan until that day. A lot of 40 mph turns were taken at 60 mph w/o effort. What a sweet ride.
This is my 6th new car shopping experience and the best ever by far. If it weren't for 's detailed walk through of the car, I would have gotten out of there in half an hour.
Thanks Len. I hope you get your car soon.
1st Mod: removed front license plate frame. Need to be more aerodynamic.
Future Mod: remove redundant acura lettering on trunk lid, and possibly TSX.
2 photos for now.

Based on emails and treads from the individuals that are in the goup buy, I have the following people that have picked up their cars:
1) Emperuman
2) TSXMine05
3) WillTSX
4) Keichan82
5) LarryMoeCurley
6) initial (B.Z)
B.Z supposed to be number 6 so the dealer should have given you the rebate when you picked up your car last weekend and should start with the rest of the people that have not pick up their cars yet. The other five should contact the dealer for their rebate now.
Let me know if I'm wrong with the number of people that have picked up their cars.

tsxforme2005,
Yes I have picked up the car on Sunday. However, I was only given a rebate voucher. They said that the rebate would have to go through the finance department and will be issue to everyone at the same time so no one would be given rebate twice by mistake. As for the time frame, it should be within 2 weeks (at least this was what they said).

I would like to thank G36 for all his efforts organizing this group buy. Even though it didn't work out for me, ( wasn't able to get the car that I wanted), I certainly appreciate all of your efforts. Hey, at least I referred 'tsxmine05' for the group buy.
I would also like to mention that is a great sales guy that I have had pleasant dialogue with for the past month. I would not hesitate to recommend him to future Acura buyers. I will definitely give him a call when I buy my White Diamond Pearl TL in a couple of years.

Just got a call from the dealer today. My car is in. Picking it up this weekend. One thing that is disconcerning to me is that when I signed the contract, the contract said there are 10 miles on the car. When I asked the sales guy how many miles are now on the car, he told me 25 miles. His explanation was that a supervisor was test driving the car to make sure it was okay. Sounds kidda fishy to me.
What do you think I should do? I trusted the dealer that it would have only 10 miles, now it's 25.
Please advise.
Thx.

I was told that a technician would drive the car 7 miles before I get it. I don't think this is any big deal at all compared with the deal we're getting. I was also told by that no one else would drive my car. If it had 25 miles on it I wouldn't worry.

I got the news that my car is in (but I had to settle for my second color choice). I just gotta get the VIN, arrange insurance and pick it up in the next couple days.
Since mine's a dealer trade it's going to have over a hundred miles on the odometer, so compared to 25 miles I don't think you should worry!
