hi i was wondering if its possible for anyone from the new york or new jersey area to post their receipt if you got a good deal... so if u had a good deal plz post ur receipt or proof of the price and what options came with it... with navi or without doesnt matter. but my dealer told me if i can get proof of the price someone paid for it and its lower then theirs then they would beat that price.. so plz help me out.. and yea should i hold out and wait on a 04 navi cz they dont have navi in my dealership anymore.. does anyone knwo the next shipment or is that it for the year? can u scan it for me thanks greatly appreciate it

 

Hey Dung,

In NJ there is a Acura dealer about every 40 miles or so. Do what I did - go to at least two places and have them compete with each other. When you can't take it anymore, buy at the closer dealer.

 

mostly all the acura dealers in nj dont have a tsx in stock anymore.. their all sold out.. thats the problem... how much did u pay for urs? can u scan the receipt or something thanks

 

where in jersey are u.. im around the toms river area. ocean county..

 

This isn't really like Circuit City and Best Buy where they will beat the competors price when you show the receipt. Im pretty sure nobody is going to show you their receipt (maybe it's a personal thing). In my opinion the price isn't as important as the monthly payment (lease payment). In the NJ area, we are generally at $25K for non-navi and $27K for Navi. Being that the 05's are near, I would ask them to go to $24K / $26K and go from there.


Mercer County

 

the situation here is that theres no more tsx available around here... any idea of another 04 shipment coming in? if so ill wait till its in then go back in the dealer. and try to deal from 26k for a navi... i just need the receipt.. cz he was like if he sees a deal he will try his best to beat it...

 

Precision Acura in Princeton has 4 in stock.

 

really with navi ????

 

cant i like order a tsx ???? or something.. cz im specifically lookin for a pwp 5at with navi

 

u can order it but you will get an 05 model.

i had mine ordered in may 03 and took delivery in aug 03. i didnt mind the wait cause i was leasing a previous car that i had to turn in aug 03. i was in no rush to get the car.

 

thats too long of a wait...

 

ill will find out from my dealership if my credit went through if so ill b pickin up my car 2morrow.. but if i can find a navi one within the next few days ill forget about this one

 

If you order one, you will have to wait as they ship from Japan.

Just keep calling around, you'll find one im sure...

 

E-mail is your friend. E-mail all the Acura dealers in the tri-state area and tell then Internet manager what you want (colors, Nav, etc.) and what you want to pay. They want to get rid of the 04's now, so you will get a lot of responses.

 

ok thanks i will do it right now

 

just called a acura dealer.. and they have a demo pwp navi with spoiler and 3k miles on it... and he is offering me 27900 but 27500 if i do anythign today... so what do you guys think ???? deal or not??? whats wrong with buying a demo car??? pros and cons of buying a demo car.. some hints and tips if yes then i will hit the dealer 2morrow

 

I would have no problems buying a demo with 3K miles. DO NOT deal with a dealer who says that the deal is only good if you sign today, tell him I will be in over the weekend or such, he will change his mind. 27,500 is high for a demo with 3K miles. If he can go down to 26,500 I would probably do it.

 

im afraid the demo car will be gone if i go this weekend.. but yea i was thinkin the same 26,500.. if i can get it to 26,500 then i will deffinately deal the non navi with no miles or option is charging 26400 shoot ill be happy if i can get it that low.. well let me call my family and see that they feel about this demo car.. if their ok with it then ill call back and tell the guy ill be in sometime this weekend..

 

I think 26,400 is a little high for a non-navi. I mean this in the nicest way, but you are pretty young, I would bring your parents with you.

 

yea i kno i always bring my mom with my.. lol its going to be under my moms name not mine hehe... but yea my mom said if the deal for the non navi doesnt go thru then we will head over to buy the demo car,, just hope its still there for me.. i really want the navi in that i think its so ugly without the navi hehe

 

Get the navi.

 

yea i know but my mom said that they already got the paper works done and stuff so we will get results tonight and if all go thru we will take the non navi if not we'll get the demo... so hopefully the paper works didnt go thru.. lol crossin gmy fingers...

 

Did you check the Acura website and look for dealers near you?

Most of them list their inventory online, thats how I found my car. Not sure what your zip code is but here a dealer's online inventory from NJ. Bridgewater Acura

You will be more likely to deal better if you can get a car off their lot as opposed to them having to order one for you.

VIN# 958 6MT W/Navi
VIN# 959 6MT W/Non-Navi
VIN# 968 5AT W/Navi
VIN# 969 5AT W/Non-Navi

 

Ummm, like I said, I got 27100 for a BRAND NEW navi. Are you even reading these other posts????

Why are you setting tomorrow as your deadline when you HAVE to buy a car? You playing right into the dealers hands.

 

thanks alot i will give them a call 2morrow..

 

Check on edmunds.com and cars.com for the prices. Edmunds gives a what others are paying price which is between the invoice and MSRP - try to make deal between the two prices. Also, check the incentives button on edmunds.com.

 

i already tried edmund.. thanks for the advice and help...

 

patience is the key

 

Haste makes waste...dude you need to do a tad more research. Im young too, but dont think the world is going to end if you dont pick up your car right now. There are plenty of dealerships, and plenty of TSX's with them that will offer you a good price.

 

yea u guys r right patience is the key ill wait a bit

 

i went to the demo car and got a 27 350 deal and i should be pickin it up 2morrow.. thanks alot guys will post pics soon in the gallery...

 

I emailed my local Acura dealer (Island Acura, Wantagh NY) they don't have any 2004 in stock. Anyone with word on any other tri-state dealers who may have.

 

Horriable price for a navi with 3K on it...but hey, its your money (or is it?). Hope it was broke in properly...

 

yea i hope it was broken in right.. it was a car use for test drive so i dont know if it was.. 27350 isnt the final price thats what he quoted me but 2morrow is when the real deal goes down.. sit down with the manager and try to go as low at 26500.. but do u think i can get it for 26,900? it also has a scratch in rhe front right fender but that will b fixed by the dealer.. u think i can use that scratch as a excuse to getit lower...

 

Yea, just go in and say 27350 minus 15 cents a mile (-450), which would be 26900.

 

i sure will tell them that hehe thanks alot

 

Jesus christ I10O0I1, whatever happened to, "yeah, you're right, patience is the key..." ?

Even if you could get it for $26.5K, it seems pretty high for a demo with 3K miles on it, don't you think? Furthermore, it has a scratch on the fender. Sure it can be fixed. But, do you really want to buy a $27K car that already had some body work done to it?

Just chill out for a while. Why do you think the car is still available? B/c not too many people are keen on buying a $27K used TSX w/ a scratch on it. TSXs are not rare cars. You can get a good deal on a new one if you are patient.

If you really have your heart set on this one (don't know why you would) don't be shy about throwing out a rock bottom initial offer - like say, $22K. Worse they can do is say no. Also, don't be afraid to walk out the door. Trust me. The car will still be there the next week. They're more likely to lower the price if you demonstrate that you are willing to leave rather than to act like a salivating dog with a piece of meat.

BTW, this advice works great on picking up chicks too.

 

Oh really...?

Make a rock bottom initial offer, and if she says "no" just come back next week?

Well, I was actually talking about the part about walking out the door and not looking hungry. But, you already knew that. BTW, the rock bottom offer works too. Women are hardly ever impressed by guys who spend a lot of money on them.
