I'm about to purchase my new car

I'm about to purchase a new 2005 tsx 6-speed but don't know if it's worth that price. i've been getting quotes back and they all say they can't get below invoice (25,550+300 protection package). I live in SF, CA so tax is a killer (2200). i'm a girl and an accountant so a bad combination to seal the deal. Given the timing of this purchase, you guys think I can go lower? If you don't mind, what are some prices you guys paid?

Honestly... i'd say if they gave you the car for invoice... it's a really good deal already. You have to let the dealers make SOMETHING. They are in the business to make money. They would probably rather not sell it if they didn't make much on it.
Check the owners sign in thread to see what others are paying. Invoice isn't too unreasonable to pay for a car. Luxury brands dont sell in as high of volume as the regular honda, toyota, ford, etc... brands. As a result, they have to earn more per car in order to profit in the end.

My understanding is that MT is fairly rare and $25.5K is not bad (if that's with Navi, take it and run). Believe me, once you start driving it and really like it, that $200-$300 that you might have squeezed out of them will not make a bit of difference.

I paid 28k for CG/6MT/Navi a month ago in SF. If they're willing to go invoice, take it. Especially if you're going for a 6MT, they're hard to find.

i got AT non Nav for 27,800 drive out.....2 months ago
which is similar to ur price with tint and all season

maybe you should tell them to give you free stuff instead of talk down their price
get quotes from all the CA area and just lie to the dealer ...while you lie throw in some free stuff XD
