My Acura Story

Hello to all Acura TSX owner. This website is a wonderful place. I look forward to sharing TSX experiences with one another. First, I am a 29 year old owner of a 1995 Honda Accord. It has been a great car. I never had any intentions of getting a new car. Then it happened. My brother drove by the local Acura dealership looking a prices because he had just bought a loaded Yukon. He was comparing prices with the Acura MDX. There was a 2005 Carbon Gray TSX on the lot with NAVI. I loved it. It had some ugly wheels on though that I didn't like. I wanted it to drive it though. But, I was looking for an automatic. I know, call me a sissy. I also, did not want the NAVI. But, they had one 2006 that I did drive and I loved it. It was white. I wanted the Carbon Gray. He salesman told me about ordering them and paying a deposit and getting the car maybe in January. Well, 10 days later, my salesman called and said the car came in and he drove it 78 miles and hand delivered the car to me. I was very impressed by the service. I have had the car for 6 days now and I love everything about it. I don't think I could have got any more car for the price I paid. I read alot of things on this website about the TSX that really helped me decide to get it. Thanks again, and I will post some pics when I take some.

congrats!

what kind of deal did you get?

sounds like your dealer is a pleasant place to deal with. i've heard others report that their dealers came and picked them up.

I got out the door for $28,675. I put $10K down, so that probably helped with the price. They put on the splash guards at no charge and delivered it at no charge and they delivered it at their suggestion. It was a very pleasant experience. Acura will probably be my next car based on the service alone.

I would have then suggested that they pick me up and *I* drive it home. Nothing like a 78 mile get-to-know-you drive.
Congrats on the new purchase!

Oh, and

Awesome! Congrats, can't wait to see it! I know you will enjoy the TSX! 95 accord is sweet though as well... I miss my old 95 accord EX coupe... truly one of the finest cars Honda ever made... if they didn't make the TSX in 04, I don't know what other car I would have wanted!
