But what the dealer didn't know was that he had the cash to pay for the car in FULL. He got a great deal ! He didn't get no options like window thief and the other options. He made out very good in my opinon.

I saw that kenny (the guy who started this thread) got his tsx for about 500 less than me so i was a little upset. So, then i called wayne acura where kenny got his and used them as leverage, they were willing to go like 300 below my dealer, i had no intenion of going to jersey especially since i was suppose to pick up the car in 6hrs. i called my dealer told him i got a better deal elsewhere and he said what do you want, being in new york and with all the snow we have been having i just wanted the mats, being greedy i asked for the whole sport package and 5 minutes later i got a call back saying they could do that. i knew he was going to do it, it was the end of the month and they already had the car detailed, they had no other choice.
so, my advice is to shop around, find the best deal you can,you can even go as far as giving the deposit they can always refund it (make sure you use a credit card, its easier to refund) then after you make the deal, call a few other dealers, don't waste your time going to visit, tell them what your deal is and ask if they can beat it, odds are they can. Finally, go back to your dealer and let them know of your better deal, tell them some bullshit that you really want the car from them but you don't want to short change yourself, while they might not budge on the price, i am sure they will throw in some extras
after 3 days with the car i am in love, its great, i have been all smiles since i got it

I dont know if that deal is as good as you think.
I am a car salesman and the state I live in its against the law to sell window etch. It is a scam.
They sell you that to make up for the discount. Also if you financed the vehicle they may have made "back end" finance profit as well.
I purchased my TSX from a local dealer for $25,035.00 cash + tax.
I found that in larger markets (New York, Chicago) they will discount vehicles more than others just tell them you can get $2k off from a local dealer "can you beat that or match it with an in stock vehicle??"
The cheapest new Acuras I have found are from Curry Acura in New York. They discount huge$$$ TL's & TSX's

If you effectively shorten the term of the loan by paying it off early, you will save money on finance charges. If you pay off a 5 year loan in 3 years, you will pay no where near $3000.00 in finance charges.

Note that a car purchased less than a certain amount of time ago (typically 30 days but this may vary) can be refinanced as new. So if you got a lousy financing deal (not a lease), you can just turn around refinance it with the bank of your choice.

I just got home with a new Premium White Pearl TSX. 5spd AT, Non-navi. Paid $25,750 plus doc fees.
Went down to one dealer and didn't enjoy the experience. Sales guy wasn't happy about us wanting to get a good deal. Was upset because we wanted to pay in the $25k range. Told us point blank that his comission would suck off a sale like that. Then he said that their cost was $25,950 some BS like that, asked him why it cost the dealer more than the invoice and he just shrugged his shoulders. We had offers from a couple of dealers for less, but they kept playing numbers games with us so we left. 
They even tried to tell us that there was stuff on the car that actually wasn't (like mudflaps and side molding). Tried calling again this morning and talking to somebody else, but they played same game, but they didn't claim the extra stuff was there, just their vin etching & protection package.
The guy where we ended up buying treated us like people buying a luxury car not like people wasting their time. Basically made deal by email and 2 phone calls. I'd heard bad things about this dealer (like quoting one price and then changing) but he confirmed 3 separate times and even quoted the total out the door. Got there and everything was exactly as he claimed. Was very happy about that and like I said he treated us the way a customer should be treated.
First dealer kept saying that they'd treat us right, but it never felt that way while we were there.

I feel honored to be plagiarized. Thanks
