the actual purchase price of the car is listed as $27.4k on the paperwork. the additional amount of roughly $500 is for processing fees, tags, etc.

beastie

27.4 with Navi???? which delaer and who is the contact?

bradykp

28971 is $1100 over invoice, unless you gor an accessory in there.

that's some high tax!

bradykp

i'm going to have to join all the people who were skeptical of my deal and say, how the hell did you get 27,400? 500 in document fees, then i can understand it. otherwise, something fishy in this deal as that is 500 almost below invoice. even with dealer holdback, they made virtually no profit on that car. seems like there had to be something else here.....

beastie

just got quoted $26,151.13 w destination and all dealer fees included. I assume I still would have to pay extra for title and licensing but havent heard back yet what they cost. I guess those are set by the government so won't fluctuate?

IlliNorge

Don't forget around 2k in taxes. Title and license is set by the state.

beastie

$26,151.13 for non navi?? what do you think?

manda

beastie, out of curiosity, where are you located?

the best offer i've received for a 5AT/non-navi is $26,850 including the protection package but before TTL.

beastie

the former fattest city in the country. philadelphia. this is the best deal I have received. next closest was $26,452.00

Type_S_Maniac

thats what i got it for. no joke. id rather not say who the salesman/dealership was, but we bought it in NOVA. trust me, it didnt look like they made any profit on the deal. the salesman was getting pissy when we told him that we wanted 20min to think about it before we sign the deal.

jboss

Hi Im new here and I just got my 06 TSX CG/Ebony AT for 29,800 OTD

bradykp

they didn't they actually may have lost money on you. something more to this story for sure. what is NOVA?

xingu

bradkykp, NOVA is short for Northern Virginia. Something about this deal seems strange. Why would a dealer sell a new TSX below invoice? If this price is correct there must be more to the story. I also don't understand why the purchaser won't say which dealership this is. I can somewhat understand not mentioning the salesperson by name, but not the dealership. After all, aren't we all here to share information to help each other?

bradykp

i agree. something is fishy. if the deal is final, the poster should have no problem sharing the dealer name. if not, then i can understand, as he'd be in the same situation I was in with the $27,500 plus $189 doc fee quote i received at sprinfield, only to have them back out of it.

t b

Memphis/Nashville, TN - Im planning to purchase soon, just got an offer for
06 TSX 5AT non-navi, Carbon Grey, Ebony .. 27100 including all fees, but before TTL. Is this reasonable for my area? Other dealers in the area have been around 29,000 or 30,000 for the same vehicle.

paranode

Getting an ABP/Ebony 6MT on order, price was $26,500 + TTL. I pitted a couple of dealers against each other and that made it easier to lower the price. FWIW that price was in-person and much lower than any internet quote I got.

As for some insane deals, well, I wonder if those people are trading in cars because the dealer will rip you there if he can and make you think you got a good deal on the new one. If not, then kudos!

biker

Any deal around invoice+500 is good. Just watch out for dealer add-ons - gotta practice saying NO!

lilballa

I got ..artic blue/quarts leather/auto for $27,350 including tax and plate..along with destination

Dirk Diggs

I have to say, I read a lot of car forums for different makes and models and you guys seem to be the coolest by far.

I only started reading the TSX forums recently because I want one badly.

My buddy has a TL and it got me researching all makes and models, before I decided the TSX will be the one. Otherwise, it would have been a Mustang.

Everyone here has all the right things in mind, I just have one pointer for the sake of the Acura Sales Consultants...

...don't visit the given dealerships on your salesperson's day off. If the guy/girl is cool and straightforward with you, please see him/her when he/she is there. If you deal with someone else on his/her day off, it will more than likely be a split deal for him/her. At 100% commission a split mini-deal is not much, and at $500 over invoice, it will definitely be a mini.

$500 over invoice is a good deal for any customer, and their salesperson/dealership. It makes everything much easier for both parties involved.

I only wish my customers thought as clearly as you all.

Congrats to everyone on getting great deals on their new cars and not making the whole buying process more difficult than it needs to be.

Be warned though, even if you are cool, some salespeople won't be. Your salesperson can make all the difference, just find the right one!

BTW...this is my first post. I hope down the road I'll be posting pics of a new TSX as well!

Diggs

bradykp

welcome diggs!

TSX over a mustang? hmmmmm. think i'd take the stang (gt of course!). too bad RWD isn't a viable option for me right now.

Dirk Diggs

...but I am 29, and it really doesn't quite exude professionalism. Plus your TSXs are every bit as stylish, and their interiors blow it away! I love everything about these cars...and that says alot! Three years ago I wouldn't have touched anything other than a Ford!

I just think it is really cool how the majority here recognize the fact that the dealership is a business, and the salespeople are actually people too!

I never mind a mini-deal. It is better than nothing after all. Hell, I'll try to work the same thing when I buy mine, but I will ask whoever sells it to me what their mini is ahead of time, and match it in cash.

I hope I can work the same magic as you guys, here in Chicago!

TSXHottie

GET NAVI! I paid 29,000 and have Navi

motrix

06 tsx non-navi. pearl white/parch options muds, wheel locks, trunk tray, all weather mats and color matched door trim for 26801. good deal considering im in the sf bay area.

bradykp

hahaha....he's had his car for about a month now.

beastie

06 TSX, Non Nav, Carbon Grey, Ebony Interior, Automatic

Includes All weather mats, mud guards, wheel locks, and trunk tray.


$26,100 before TTL.

STL

Sounds pretty decent. Have they told you what kind of doc or advertising fees they're going to hit you with yet?

kjb219

Have to agree with Brady that the internet is the way to go. I live in S Central PA and can travel to MD, NOVA, or Phila to optimize negotiations if I need to. Have an offer for $28 over invoice with OTD at $29,670. Did this all over the internet/phone (aside from visiting dealership at least 3x to decide between the TSX and Accord V6). Is this price good for this area? And if it is, can I really expect the dealership to give me close to KBB trade-in value at good condition? Note that dealership is telling me there's no CGP/ebony in a 5 state search. I just test drove one in Phila on Sat so are they lying?

Dirk Diggs

You're getting 28 dollars over invoice and you are still unsure of whether or not it is a good deal?! Unbelievable...

Dealerships use the black book...not KBB.

Diggs

djackson

We have 2 CGP/ebony at a local dealership in West Virginia. They are AT, w/o navi though.

If interested let me know I will get you some contact info.

I should add to this thread, I just recently purchased:

2006 TSX 5AT w/ NAVI
CG / Ebony. (CG is the most popular color. Rosenthal in MD has more)
$28,200 pre- TTL w/ locks, splashies, mats.
just < $30k OTD.
from Chevy Chase Acura in MD

STL

I just ordered a 2006 TSX 6MT non-navi Silver/Ebony for $26,200 (3% over invoice) + dest. charge -- so it's $26,815 out-the-door. That does not include taxes because here in Missouri we pay them when you license the car which is typically done sometime within 30 days of the purchase (because that's how long the temporary tags last).

beastie

it was about $165 for all fees. the $26,100 included the mats, trunk tray, splash guard, locks, and destination fee. so all that said it looks like my final deal was a few hundred under invoice.

bradykp

finally got it STL! congrats! when do you take delivery?

HollywoodTSX

I just bought a TSX. I got the dealer cost info from Consumer Reports and emailed in an offer. I got a 2006 automatic with NAV for $27,200 which according to my numbers is about $400 over their actual cost after hold back.

Knox

Picking mine up on Monday for the sweet low price of $26,200. It's an auto in silver with no nav.

yukit

Looking at the inventory of local dealers online, they have at least twice as many cars when I was looking a month ago. They even have several 6MTs.

I guess the new-model cachet is wearing off now.

OldManTSX

That price is unheard of! Congratulations!
Did you have a trade-in? If so, what did you trade-in and how much did they give you for it?

biker

I haven't heard from the local Acura Internet Dept. for a long time but yesterday I got an e-mail part of which is below:

"I wanted to catch up with you. January is a slow month for us and I am extremely motivated to sell as many TSX's as possible. I do have a couple TSX's available on the lot and will make any reasonable deal. "

It will be interesting to see the actual number of TSXs sold in January cause it seems like the dealers are getting pretty desperate.

natedog321

Finally agreed on price and ordered my 06 black on black MT w/ Navi for $29K before TTL Yeah a little high, but only one dealership in the area and that combo was next to impossible to come by. At first they wouldn't take anything less than $30K I'm happy regardless and I didn't have to compromise on anything.

STL

Thanks. It's suppose to be mid-March at the latest. I thought I got a pretty good deal, but it seems others are getting the car for invoice or even less (which really surprises me).
