What's the KBB on the used? That's pretty high mileage. How clean is it? Any cool aftermarket stuff? Did you negotiate that price or is that just what he's asking? If that's asking price, then you could probably push him much lower. The Navi is nice and what's 30k on an Honda/Acura?

Negotiate hard for the used, in my research dealers pay about 18-19K for used cars, you shouldn't be paying more than $21,500 w/o TTL.

When comparing a current year model with the previous years model, I generally look for at least 15 cents a mile depreciation; 30,000 * .15 = $4,500.00 USD.
A dealer will generally have a markup ranging from $4,500.00 to $7,000.00 on a used car in the 30K price range. Therefore, finding an individual that wants to sell, rather than trade, makes for a much better deal.
The prices of used '04 models are just not that much less than the price of a new '05 model. I would prefer to pay the difference and get a car that I know has not been abused. If I were on a tight budget, I would be considering cars that are 3-4 years old with around 50K miles rather than a car that is only one year old.

especially when you try to sell it down the road in say 4 years, it will probly have 100k miles on it. and its an 04'!... get the 05'!

I would purchase new because of the traditionaly high resale value of Acuras'. Your specific example is a case in point - 30,000 miles and they only offer a 7 or 8% discount? For get the '04.
