From Edmunds. the TMV price is about $600 below MSRP.
I got $1500 off right now with Navi + protection package.
on the table. I am not sure I am ready to pull the trigger yet.
Does Acura fix the Rattle already? The car I test drove is sleek and quite, but VSA comes out a lot, since it just showed 2 days ago in Eastern. :'(
Saw ppl at Acura-tl site got 2k off MSRP at $33195 for TL/Navi.
with 5K difference in TL vs TSX Navi. I am not sure if I make a right choice on TSX... (buyer remorse later??)
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

 

TL seems to be having it's own issues.....

 

Yeah.. I know... Tire/unknown Vibration on TL. Various Rattles and some burnt tranny on TSX.....I am ready to make a decision at the End of Jan, can't wait for 05 models...

 

Before I tested Drive TSX. I stooped by local MB dealership for c240 4-matics. This comes with sunroof, 6cd changers and heated seat. Asking 32500 without bargain at all. maybe will drop another 1k or 1.5k on this.
The difference in price of C240 4Matic vs TSX Navi will be 4k. Really like the quietness and 4WD on C240, but again. Heard some horrible stories on C240 too......Sigh...

 

If you're considering a C240, you might find this thread interesting: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1196833 .

Moosecat,
C240 is RWD. Bad on Snow.. Looking at c240 4Matic.. I think that is different breed. Similar to Jaq xtype (4wd one too). C240 is either made in Brazil/Mexico.. Reliablilty is a doubt, but does the dealer will treat you right and take care of the problem if it appears. Instead of pulling an Acura ("that is driver's fault") on you?

 

From moosecat's link
"My dad has a c240. The interior isnt cheap at all, despite what others think. I drive this car alot, and its a blast. its got about 15k miles, and has no problems what so ever. I think the tsx is a nicer car though, even if its a front digger.
The c240 dosent get the greatest gas milage, my dad normally gets 23mpg driving to work and about 25-28mpg on the interstate.


"
Saw the demo TSX trip computer the AVG Millage is 19MPG... ..
will C240 has better millage than TSX?

 

Dude that must have been a demo car where people were raggin the car out. I've got a 6mt tsx and I average 27 city and 33 highway. I do my shift changes around 4000rpms. The automatics do even better.

 

C240 is either made in Brazil/Mexico.. what you mean either?! MB c- class build in South Africa.. i'm not kidding.
