Thank you to this board!
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped me along the way with my TSX purchase. Just to recap, i had posted about locating a TSX 5at w/o navi in the Northeast area.
Well, i finally had bargaining power against my original dealer, and today i walked out with what i think is a steal.
2004 TSX 5at w/o navi, Arctic Blue Pearl for $24,746 plus TTL. That is mere dollars over the invoice cost. I went in at 5:45pm when the dealership was closing at 6pm and just bargained hard. I found out the car had 218 miles on it since it was a swap, so i pushed harder, and he threw in the 1st 2 oil changes for free. The only thing is that I had to forfeit the mudguards and wheel locks the car came with.
Thanks again! I hope to pick up the car very soon!

Acura of Avon, the dealer who i first started shopping at. Seemed to be easiest as they were closest to me.
I gave up some other 'perks' they offer, such as 6 month/6,000 mile extended warranty, first ding removed free, and no service loaners.
To be honest, i am never going to service the car there anyways as I am moving to Boston and even in Hartford, Schaller Acura is closer and provides loaners to everyone.

Really? That wasn't what I was told. Actually, no other dealer mentioned anything about oil changes except one dealer offering lifetime changes for a car they wanted full sticker price for.
Yes, I dealt with Peter. He was the sales manager at Hoffman Honda 6 years ago when I bought a 98 Accord.
