2006 Acura TSX

Excellent condition! Only 3000 miles. Nighthawk black exterior 6 speed manual transmission. Loaded plus Cargo Tray, Wheel locks, all season mats and Protection Package. Near full warranty.

$24,000


Is the protection package some sort of rust proofing package?

Thanks guys!

thats good..

I agree, that's a good price. I'm assuming that's non-navi?

If the seller is referring to the same protection package that Acura advertises, it's just the trunk tray, wheel locks, and splash guards. So in addition to what he has already talked about, it's just the splash guards.

Gues2

Yup non-navi. Thanks for the clarification on the protection package.

Is this a dealers car or private individual? I would be a little apprehensive because of the 6MT....you don't know how it was driven or if it was broken in properly especially if it's dealer 's car. You know how hard those demos are driven from day 1.

Gues2

It's from a private party.

BoxedUp

Did they give you a reason for selling?

It was the ladies brothers car. He bought it and then found out he had cancer, he passed away shortly after. It's a pretty good deal, but with the financing available to me right now with it being a used car I can get a new one cheaper, I just found that out yesterday. So I'm picking up my brand new 06 friday from the dealer. 26,100 I had another dealer offer me their demo for 25,500 or their navi six speed for 27,005. But I decided to save the 900 and put it towards some nice wheels.

Good decision

glad you got the new one but you are definitely going to regret not getting the navi. i would save and get the nice rims later...the navi is worth it. just ask the other people on this board..

Sorry if I hijacking this thread but I need to find out info from the Americans out there (and it sort of asks a similar type question)...

Looking into buying a US 2006 TSX. New from the dealership (end of year clear out)

Base TSX -- they're asking US$25,500 before taxes, license, admin

I realize the invoice says US$26,000 (at least on Yahoo Autos it says)

What deals have people been finding on clearance? I plan on going to the dealership tomorrow and make the deal (ie end of month ... they may be more willing to negotiate to meet sales targets)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Gues2

I actually was able to talk them down to 25,250.

how many miles on the 6-speed/navi for $27,005? thats a good $250-300 back of invoice. In other words a screaming deal.

Brandon24pdx

Thats a smokin one too. (would have been the equivalent of of paying 26,000 for an 06 with 3,000 miles, if it had the nav...)

dom

Plan on bringing it back to Canada I presume? What does the total cost look like once its all said and done presuming the TSX is $25,xxx US?

Gues2

5 miles i think, it was brand new.

I got a new 06 5AT TSX on 11/24/06. Through the course of the month I was emailing back and forth with 3 different dealers all having them compete for my business. You should be able to get the price even lower if you price match with a few more Acura dealers around your area. I did most of my negotiations through emails. When it was all said and done I brought my latest price match to the last dealer i went to, to appraise my trade-in and they took off another $100 from the price another dealer gave me.

Final price, $25,100. I told him i would get it if he took off the dealer tag, the PA stickers on the windshield, a full tank of 91 octane (i'm guessing all dealers do this anyway?), and cleaned it all up.. i shoulda pressed for all-season mats but ah well.

OK ... this is my estimate:

Car = US$25,500 = C$29300 (assuming 15% exchange rate)
transport = US$200 = C$230 <- this is to get to Windsor, ON
import tax (6.1%) = C$1787
GST (7%) = C$2170 (assuming C$31 000)
PST (8%) = C$2480
-----
To get it past Customs = C$36 000


RIV inspection = C$100 (i'm guessing that's what Crappy Tire would charge)
e-test = C$35
plates = C$29
sticker = C$69
----
On the road = C$36 300

--------------------

Canadian MSRP of a TSX = C$38000 before any taxes, freight, admin fees, license, etc!

Decent deal, BUT you can do MUCH better - I wouldnt pay more than $23K. I bought my 2006 PWP/Ebony w/Navi (automatic) for $25,900 with ~ 7K miles and it was certified so 100K warranty.

Wait unitl the END of the month and guy right before the dealership closes on that day. In order to get my price, I had to drive to FL (live in GA) - cheapest I can get in GA on similar car was 27K. FL is the state to buy cars!!

Good luck.

alucardx

how do you get 100k warranty out of that?

the bumper to bumper is 4yr/50k (from date car was made or first purchase not sure which one) and certified is an additional 12mo/12k

Brandon24pdx

god, Canada is such a rip off.

Newplay1

Wow good job on that deal!!!! Now time to drop couple thousands on new rimz!

chimchim

yeah to be exact... 12K add for non-power train and 100K total for powertrain - (certified used program) - 7 YR total

dom

Wow. keep us posted on how this works out Derrick. Sounds like some work but saving 5K will be well worth it.

alucardx

heh i wish.. money will be tight with this increased car payment every month. maybe if i get a new job
