Just talked a dealer today and filled out the paperwork for purchase. Prices may vary from coast to coast but the price in the Midwest minus destination and any other fees for an 06 Manual non nav is $25,436. So while MSRP is $27,890 I walked out of the dealership today with tinted windows, all weather mats, and 1 yr free maintenance (oil changes, detailing, etc.) for under $27K (black on black manual non nav).

 

I just put a deposit down on the same exact combo. I am waiting to see the car and see if I can't negotiate the price down some more.

 

My price started to drop the second I talked to other dealers and internet sellers. When you walk into the dealership they have the edge because this is a new car, a rare car, and there's nothing out there like it (let's not get into a BMW argument and if anyone says VW I'm going to vomit). So the only way for YOU to get the edge is to get these minions of satan (car salesmen) to fight with each other. BTW good choice on your car

 

Believe me, I know. I actually sent in my exact requirements for a deal before going to the dealership today. The numbers I got were still not as good as I requested, but I feel that there is still room for negotiation. However, I didn't have as much time today to dicker as I usually do, plus this is only the first dealership I've gotten solid confirmation from so I wil be seeing if the other 3 dealers in the area can beat the price.

 

CG you getting a 06 6MT?

 

hope you don't choose tischer...based on my experience with them as of late...i wouldn't suggest them for servicing...

 

the 06 tsx have a tinted window option now?

 

I just told the dealership I wanted it and they did it. It's not an "acura" option it's a dealership option.

 

you trading in your 04?

 

Isn't it an option for every car in the world?

 

Not for the ones without windows.

 

dj Dozhe and I are fighting over the same exact car - same dealership.

 

Relax guys there's enough TSX's for everyone

Well maybe not for STL

 

No more fight, I'm dumping the car at that dealership and going to another one. I have no patience for lies. Car dealers, lawyers, and TV evangelists....Jesus jello-fighting Christ....I know there are good versions of these people somewhere I just haven't found them yet.

 

Perhaps...

I haven't decided on it for sure, but I miss driving MT and the additional equipment on the 06 was very enticing.

I just need to find the right deal.

 

Yup. That's the plan if I get the 06. Got the dealership to offer full pay-off on my lease.

 

I'm one....and I drive a TSX.

 

Can you give us the price breakdown? The amount you agreed on, tax, fees, options, and etc? Is $25,436 the official invoice without destination? So the invoice went up by like $650 in addition to the increase in destination....sucks!! So the invoice with destination is at $26k...making it almost impossible to get an 06 TSX at under $28k...*sigh*

 

not all dealers do window tinting

 

pick your head up young fellow. It should not be too hard to get an 06 for a few hundred under 28k

 

seen this? http://www.acura-tsx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26731

 

I mean 28k OTD

 

Sales price (invoice + 2.5%) = $26,071.90
+ destination ($615) = $26,686.90
+ ad fee ($150) = $26,836.90
+ tint ($125) = $26,961.90
+ doc fee ($300) = $27,261.90
- trade in ($2500) = $24,761.9
+ 7.525% sales tax ($1863.33) = $26,625.23

Floor mats were free, 1 yr maintenance free, and tinting was 1/2 price. Ad fee is something fun we have in the midwest. So while this wasn't a great deal by any means I think I did ok for my first time in a high pressure high dollar (to me anyway) situation.

 

Not too bad...but the fees really screwed you over. When shopping for an '05, a Chicagoland dealer only charged me $50 Doc Fee and $150 for Title and Registration (no ad fee). Still, great deal and enjoy your car! Thanks for the price breakdown.

 

That ad fee and doc fee are

Dealer ---> :thief: <--- Your money.

 

Ouch on the fee but look on the bright side.....you'll be one of the many here with an 06 TSX! Now where are those damn pictures?!?

 

I made a deal $750 over invoice.

It looks like the vehicle will be just under $28,200 OTD

I was hoping for under $28,000 w/ floor mats and wheel locks...do you think that is reasonable?

My vehicle won't be available till the end of the month!

 

True i did get the barrel on that, but if I save about $2100 total so I'm feeling ok about it. Considering the rarity of the manual vs. auto and rarity of 06 TSXs first week of December I really thought I was going to get screwed. Turns out I only got lightly molested. Nice.

 

So how much for a 5AT w/ navi.?

 

you can get a 5AT w/o navi for $27 OTD...so I guess with navi, u can get it for $29 OTD (assuming you can find one)

 

Are there any web sites with documented invoice prices? Edmunds, Kelly BB, etc. don't have the info for the 2006. I need the documentation ammunition when I go to place my order this weekend.

 

just show'em the money, they'll do it or have it done. really.

 

nah he did ok because starting from 26k is not a bad deal for 2006 models.

 

Just say "I didn't come here because of your ads, so I'm not paying your damn ad fee". There are dealers around here I specifically won't go to just because their radio and TV ads are so obnoxious.

 

Glad to hear that. How many miles did you have on your trade-in, and what was the condition of your car? I'm thinking of getting the dealer to pay off the lease on my my '03 Accord 6-MT, but the catch is that I've put a lot of miles on it (63k).
With my car in that condition, it seems like it'd be a good deal to even get MSRP on the '06 TSX if they would just take my car in. Otherwise my extra wear mileage penalty will be over $3000 when my lease is done with in Mar. 06.

 

I do plan on negotiating, however. I'm not gonna let a little thing like 63k miles prevent them from taking my car in.
