New Jersey Acura Dealers
Can someone please explain what is up with Acura dealers? I have tried contacting three so far - with very shaky results. One did not return my email. A second tried to rip me off with financing -- the wouldnt give me the price of car but rather told me what my payments would be : Approx $28.5K for a non-navi model based on the term and rate. I called him out and said he would sell it for $26K. And last but not least the internet manager of the third told me that the TSX is a "limited production" vehicle and that there are only 12K of them out there. Never mind the fact Honda just relased sales numbers showing over 18,000. If anyone can recommend a dealer I would appreciate it.
Thanks!
Thanks!

NJTsx - I am from Middletown...Thanks for the response. I was talking to the internet manager from Ryan's but he said they dont negotiate online...I will contact your guy shortly. I am debating on getting one soon or waiting for the 2005....

Ryans brought a dealership in Wayne called Open Road of Wayne. They won the Precision Award twice and had cars in stock. I saw the one I wanted online. No problem when I went there. Don't know if you want to travel that far.

I had a nice experience today at Ramsey. Took a test drive, lease terms I could'nt resist. I was out in a little over an hour. Got a call a few hours ago informing me that they found my first choice color (artic Blue Auto non-Navi)
Problay got it from Wayne ( I think I saw that combo in their on-line inventory)

From what I was told when I bought my TSX a few weeks ago is that Honda made 19,000 worldwide for 2004, but only 15,000 made it to U.S. If that's true, it does make it hard to find a specific transmission type/exterior/interior color at a specific dealership.
However, I live near Washington D.C. which is the capital of everything expensive. I got a non-navi, auto, NBP/ebony for $25,750 with 2.9% APR for 60 mos. Can't beat that!
Good luck!

Precision Acura in Princeton - right off of route 1. Had a great experience all the way around, and tonight I got a tin of cookies from the owner of the place. Ask for Michael Thomas, he was great.

Well it may just be the salesperson I got, or the day I went but I doubt it. Seemed like a meat market, lots of customers, not too much help, kind of disorganized. And the sales guy was the prototypical car salesman, asking questions like "Why would you look at anything else ?".
The guys at Precision were courteous, quick, and responsive. Just what car buying should be. I also felt like they were not trying to swindle me, unlike Springfield.

Monteclair Acura gave me an excellent price. They even located a car for me and with my permission picked it up from a dealer in south jersey because they couldn't get a trunk to bring it over in time.
Ask for Otto Crombet....tell him Johnny Jr. sent you and he should give you the same price I got.
$27,800 for ABP/EB/Nav with Fogs, Protection package, and all season mats.

WHAT THE HELL IS A BIRD DOG?
I hope that you are not trying to insult me? I have pics posted if you search in the gallery section.....
I bought 3 TSXs since January. 2 of them did not come in and I got my deposit back. Apparently the first dealer had no idea what happened and why it was 1 month late. The second was lost in the train derailment.

I strongly suggest Acura of Denville. The internet manager just gave me the price that i asked for $25K. I did not choose Acura of Denville as they did not have my color of choice. I end up purchased from Open Road Acura of Wayne as they offered $24.9K with half hour standoff. Another great place to go. I just picked up the car on 05/01/04.

Chee,
who did you speak with at Denville? I test drove there yesterday (5/5/04) and loved the car. I was told that they do not sell much below the sticker price.
Can you recommend a salesperson in wayne?

Schmeldorf,
I could not remember the name. Try this, Go to their web site (Denville) and put a quick quote. The guy called me within half hour. I know the current lowest price for a TSX is about $25.5K and i asked for $25K. I did not expect he said OK but he did. He did not have the color i want and i said i will stop by. I will try to look for the name at home for you.
I went to Open Road Acura of Wayne on the same day and they have my car. They tried not to lower the price until $25.6k and i knew i can get one for $25K and i let them know and ready to walk. About half hour standoff, they gave me the price $24.9 (no option, no Nav, 5AT, including destination, no tax)
Few things i want to mention
I went to Wayne on the second last day of the month
I knew i can get one for $25K (Denvile)
I wanted a better price (<$25K) before i made a deal
I never let them how much exactly from the other dealer (Denville)
Remenber, you are the who buy and don't feel sad if they couldn't make any money. I controlled the whole situation and ready to walk away if they refused
The saleperson from Wayne is Nick. I strongly suggest you try all these at the end of the month. I think that is the most critical point for both dealers to lower the price for me.
Hope it will help

Chee... congrats, brought mine at Open Road Wayne also and was at the end of Dec, car in stock. Mine was about 1k more than yours w/ weather protection pkg. You did a great job. I recommend the service dept, very professional.

Kenk25,
Just wondering did you receive key number card with bar code and number for lost key replacement from Open Road Wayne?
You bought the car about 5 months ago and they were selling MSRP at that time. You did great too. Thanks.

I bought mine from Turnersville Acura, but that's in South Jersey i'm not sure if that's too far for you. I got mine for $27,012 w/ Navi. No complaints. Holla at San Juan Smith.

I've had a great experience at Clinton Acura. Went for a test drive by myself and I know that not every dealer will allow that. They offered me a good price and before I had a chance to ask, they told me what my fees were going to be.
They didn't try to hide anything and didn't push me for an extended warranty(although they did offer it)
Overall, my "dealing" took much less than my test drive.
Bridgewater Acura offered me an "internet special" - $300 off MSRP and I had to act fast to take advantage of that special deal.

MONTCLAIR ACURA in New Jersey sucks, sucks and more sucks.
the first thing i did when shopping for a TSX was go to each dealer in person. at the same time i was emailing "internet" salemen under a different name. you wouldn't believe the level the difference between the "internet" salesman and the floor salesman. including in the difference was selling price and fees that aren't negotiable. i spoke to the finance manager and told him that another dealer gave me a different residual value and interest rate. he told me the other dealer was "low balling me". i then told him who gave me those numbers. needless to say he was shocked as hell. i did not lease or finance with those rip-off agents.

Don't know if Philly is too far for you, but I dealt with Ardmore Acura, about six miles out of Center City. Large stock of cars on hand, negotiated decent lease deal after test driving both the TL and TSX, picked up the car after my firm's beancounters and their beancounters justified their respective existances. I had presold myself on an Acura, having tested a bunch of other cars, so I knew what I wanted. Didn't negotiate over the phone or internet as in the past, I've come to think that dealors don't take those requests seriously. Made an appointment, walked out about 90 minutes later with two test drives and a written committment to numbers and a specific NAV number.
