When I heard of other TSX drivers getting crazy deals on TL Type-S', I decided to do some shopping. I went to my local Acura Dealer here in NYC and I was quoted $33,980 for a Black/Black 6-Speed. Roughly $37k OTD.

Is that a good deal? Would you act on that deal even if you have a 2007 Black/Black TSX 5spd w/ NAVI and 4800 miles only?

I am so torque hungry!

 

from what i've saw...people are getting the TL-S for 33k-34k OTD...so your price is very high ><

 

I personally wouldn't. If you only have 4,800 miles on your car, I assume you got it recently. So trading it in so soon AND getting a brand new car = some crappy depreciation losses for you.

 

are you taking into consideration that NY taxes are 8.375% which is around 3k?

 

Yes I agree, your car is still brand new.....you will lose a lot when you are going to trade it in....keep it man

 

if it's 37K out the door, i'd rather get a G35s

 

my dealer has TL-S tagged @ 33.5K...so with haggling you can take them down further. The one I saw on the lot was white AT ...there may be others but I din't care to check.

 

Also wanted to add that Acura is running a $2.5k incentive on the TL-S so with invoice @ roughly $36K.. the dealer is not lossing any money by putting them up for $33.5K . Infact they are still making $1K plus due to the holdback etc. If they are really desparate to move the vehicle they may cut back into it @ offer the TL-S for $32.5K - $33.0K without making any loss.

 

I agree. I've also invested a lot of time and money in this car and I would rather not feel cheated at the end of the day. I was also considering independently selling the TSX but that still leaves a margin of loss. I just want a car that can tug better b/c I have a heavy set family and I feel the lag when I have a full car. Only if my entire family could have of been with me buying the TSX.

I guess I would only agree at this point if they appraise my current TSX at 24K or above and give me the TL for 32.5k or less. I really like the car and this would of been a definite deal if the TL's were AWD. Maybe waiting for the 2009 TL's is a smarter option, cheaper 08's and a possibility of a 09 SH-AWD TL.

 

damn NY's vehicle sales tax is that high? If you want a TL-S I'd wait for the 4th gen to come out

 

^^yeah man it's crazy and it's not like I can go buy a car from another state and pay their taxes b/c you pay taxes according to the state ou register the car to.

 

good idea to wait i'm thinking.

 

And dang, if you're gonna be spending that, you might as well go with an Infiniti G

 

yeah i was thinking of the infiniti G35 Sport

 

Have your family enter the "Biggest Looser" show?

 

lexus IS350 for that price!
