Congratulations & welcome to the party. Nice car for a 17yr old, treat her good.

I notice your "two-car" garage just barely deserves the title, just like mine. I think there was a typo with mine, it should have said "two go-kart" garage.

Awesome, very very very nice pics. Especially at the marina. I see you already have a sticker on the back window.

p.s. Love the outside temperature number on your dash pic.....hehe

I went to three dealerships and none of them had any 6spds in stock...

It's okay though, with an automatic my siblings/parents can drive the car. Much love <3

Too bad there's no 6MT in your area... well, 5AT still makes a good TSX

It's so kind of you to share your TSX with your siblings and parents

Your old Honda looked pretty good for it's age. I'm sure you'll keep the TSX up just as well.........

Yeah I'm very fortunate to have that Accord. It was a hand-me-down from my older brother who received it when he was my age, 17. He washed it seriously every week & waxed it when necessary. I'll keep my car nice and tidey just like him.

Oh by the way. The car came with wheel locks, mudguards, and trunk tray. All included in the $24.7K. Pretty suave.

Congrats on the car I was expecting to see you have one today. But I wasn't expecting to find out by having people call me at work telling me you got a tsx.

$650 below dealer invoice? Hard to believe, but I'll take you at your word. Best price I've heard of so far on a new TSX. Congratulations!

I thought invoice on an 05 no-navi was $24,784? That would put him just below invoice (with a little more for the trunk tray, wheel locks and mud flaps). Almost identical to my deal...$24,800 before TTL for an 04. The dealership still made a little because of their holdback.

That sounds like the invoice price minus the destination charge, which is $570.

Congrats I picked mine up a week ago this evening I had to wait almost a month for my MT, so I kept a picture with me at all times, carried the brochure in my bag, and went to the dealership at least once a week to sit in the car on the showroom floor! But it was well worth the wait! Enjoy it!
