Hi All, I'm new to the forum though I've been reading for awhile and appreciate all the information on this site.

Just put downpayment on '05 TSX Non-Navi, delivery for December 7th.

Total Vehicle Price: $26,560 (Including Destination Charge)
Tax (DE) $731
Document Fee $55
Tag Fee $10
Messenger Fee $24
Registration Fee $20
Title Fee $25
PA Tire Tax $5
--------------------------
Total Price: $27,430

Is this a good price or did I get ripped off?

Whats MSRP? For a pre-orded '05 I'd think that's about par.

triton

MSRP is $26,990 + $570 destination charge. Basically I got it for $1,000 off MSRP + Destination. I didn't think I was going to get much better than that on an '05 considering there not even on the lot yet and I got to choose my color, specify 5 max miles on it for delivery and no dealership badging. I think I might be able to get a price a little better, but not by much and this was the closest dealership to my house. I just wanted to make sure it was a fair price compared to others that are purchasing an '05.

I would think thats a great deal. Anything off MSRP for Brand new model is impressive to me. I payed MSRP for my 04 back in june/july. Wouldnt budge on the price. I did get wheel locks and spash gaurd free though. But then again, they were the only acura dealers in southwest milwaukee. Kinda regret not waiting for the new TL though.

$1000 of MSRP is exactly what I got on my '05. Hoping to get it end of this month!!

That's a good deal. I paid $27,150 out the door for my 6MT Non-navi TSX

triton

Pixel, 27,150 was that for an '04 or '05?

Another way to look at it: you got yourself a great ride and a nice price. So why even bother wondering whether or not you could have gotten a better deal? The deal is done, now pick up your TSX and enjoy it!

triton

deal is done but I can always pull out and get the deposit back, had them put that in the paper work. It seems like a fair price though and I just wanted to confirm.

You lucky people who have to pay next to nothing for tax . . .

jojo77

that's exactly what I was thinking. Damn 731?

observer

But put that aside that's a very reasonable price you've got there. I'm expecting to pay slightly more myself.

sauceman

Looks like you've got yourself a fair deal.

docboy

Good deal, especially considering the dealer took a small chunk out of the MSRP .for a 05 model. Most of the dealers I've been speaking to wouldn't even budge fr/ MSRP.

sipark

Which dealer did you go in Phlily?

TSX 'R' US

Deal looks pretty good to me... I paid MSRP for my '04 back in July last year...

triton

Hey Sipark, it was West Chest Acura on Wilmington Pike. If your interested I can refer you to him, I would hold out till after I have delivery, he's been awesome, but I don't grade a sales person until the deal is delivered, then based on that I make my reccomendation. So far he's been good though.

triton

Yeah 2.75% tax in DE is nice, I can't complain about that.

kaliraver69

not better than oregon 0% tax, too bad I don't live there tho

dzuy

that's cheap

btw, you big tease!

wvu1999

keep your sales slips, you can deduct your sales tax on your vehicle this year if you itemize

triton

I can itemize 100% of the tax for this year? That would be good. I will post pics as soon as the get the car. Oh, just got a call 3 min ago, another dealership just offered me $500 less. Is it worth the hassle to get the deposit back?

STL

FYI, most of these fees are just BS "fees" that are padding the dealer's profit.

triton

I know alot of fees are just bs, but Title, registration, PA tiretax and Tag I koow I have to pay, so Doc Fee and Messegner fee I can live with considering the discount. I'm going to call them.

DEI99662

Sounds fair to me.

joerockt

Very nice! Considering Tax and all the freebies, I think you got a great deal on a pre-ordered car. The only way somebody will beat that is if they wait a few months and find one sitting on the lot.
