I never asked to see the "papers" for the car or any "evidence." I simply asked a couple of times for some information regarding how you were able to get the car for that price: info about dealer, how you negotiated, etc..

The whole point (as far as I am concenred) of a message board community such as this is to share information. It is of little value to keep hearing that you got this great price on the car without sharing some of the info on how you did it -- unless you do not want to.

zainzb06tsx

okay, i wasn't involved as much as you might have been. My dad did most of the negotiating, even though none was involved, since it was marked at 23,9.

Senator McCain

Ok 23,900 Plus Texas State Tax of 6.25% comes to $25,393. Then you have to add County and City Taxes. Maybe a dealer fee and a tag transfer. Did your dad have them wave that because you might buy the 07 MDX?

One more thing about the great deal you got. Was it 23,900 or 22,900 like your "Sale Tag" states?

zainzb06tsx

it was marked at 22,900* sorry about the typo, im not sure what he had and had not have waived.

I live in San Antonio too and I believe the price in the picture is accurate. Our area had a nasty Hail Storm a while ago Gunn Acura had some damage. Perhaps this was one of those vehicles. (They still have a few TLs in the “Hail Sale” lot if anyone is interested. Some down to around $26K)

Also, Gunn Acura is known for NOT NEGOTIATING. The price on the tag is the price you pay.

I don't know Gunn Acura's policy on Hail-Sale cars, but I believe the discount is for un-repaired examples. However, even if his TSX had hail damage, a couple of thousand invested in repairs and he still has a TSX w/Nav for a sweet price.

it is very hard to believe anyone buying a TSX for 22,9** and it hard to believe any dumb ass dealership would advertise it at that price. thats close to 8K below MSRP. When i was shopping for Acuras and considering the TSX, the intial price a saleman quoted me was 29,000 OTD and that was below invoice and a really good deal, after some talking and more shopping around, i got him down to 28,700 OTD. Considering Acura offers holdbacks etc. i find it hard to believe a dealer parted with their car thousands below invoice....zainzb06tsx, as Jay-Z once said, "WE DON'T BELIEVE YOU, YOU NEED MORE PEOPLE"

mokiavelli

What Dalahu said may explain all of this. Maybe it was a hail damage car. Does that make the nay sayers believe it more?

Either way, it is probably an exception to the normal prices that people are paying for a TSX. So, it really doesn't matter how he got it. Say the dealer decided to run a promo and sell one TSX for $23k to draw people in. Or that it was a hail damage car. Will that situation really apply to most of us? Not really... So, maybe we should move on and find out what others are paying for a TSX currently.

whosurdaddy972

can u really get an 06 wit navi under invoice prices now? late in august?

jasonviper04

Yeah it is a hail storm damaged car that was probably the one I test drove. they have the non-damaged TSX listed at 27,789 I believe. when I saw the car in the sun I saw a lot of damage even a cracked windshield but they said they had to repair the windshield but I wouldnt buy even for the 22,900 it was listed for. It just had to much damage.

Dalahu

Hi all.
I started reading this discussion board to see what sort of deal others were getting before I bought mine. I joined in on the thread about the TSX bought by "zainzb06tsx" to voice my opinion that the new 06 TSX /Nav that he acquired for $22,999 was possibly a "Hail Sale" special.

Well, I purchased a new 06 TSX /w/o NAV last night from the same dealer and the price was $26,999 (TTL not included). I know others on here are getting lower, but it was worth it to me to avoid the hassle of time off work and a long trip.

Also, an update on the hail sale cars at Gunn Acura (San Antonio TX): They do not have any more TSXs in the hail sale lot. However, they do have new 06 TLs priced from $23,999 and up! I your willing to fork out the $$$ out for the repairs (approximately $4,000), then you'll have the sweet deal of a new TL at near $6K under MSRP.

...and from the Department of Speculation: The 07 TSX should also add MP3/WMA compatibility to the standard audio system. I say this ‘cuz I looked inside the new 07 RDX and it had this feature. Again, this is just speculation.

For those interested in purchasing accessories for their new TSX, it pays to do a little research on the internet. I found genuine Acura accessories on the web for much less than the dealer wanted.

Example - Splash Guards:

Dealer price (installed and covered under warranty) = $210
www.hondaacuraworld.com price = $67

So, if you are willing to use a screwdriver, you can save a bunch of $$$.

How many dents does your TSX have on it BTW? It took a few days, but someone in your area found out for us what a great deal you really got. I wonder if hail damaged cars show on carfax?

jasonviper04

When I test drove the car I asked the dealer about that and he said that it would come with a clean title just like any other new car.

I just purchased an '06 TSX w/ Navi (carbon on ebony, auto tran) today, and I had used this forum for help in pricing. Just thought I'd give a little back......I used edmunds.com to do a price quote from 4 dealers. 3 of the dealers emailed me back pretty quickly but did not quote an actual price. They wanted me to call to get the best price. I did call one of the dealers, and he wanted me to come in for a test drive first. I quoted some of the prices I saw on this forum, and he basically said it was hard to take those seriously because it might not be comparing apples to apples. So I decided to throw out an initial offer of $27,500 for a model w/ navi, to which he quickly replied he couldnt do, since it was under invoice. One of the previous posts here mentioned getting a quote for $28,072 ($200 over invoice) which I replied back with. The dealer immediately accepted that offer. I thought, Ok, not bad. I was on my way out when i got another email from the 4th dealer (Woodfield Acura in Schaumburg, IL), and he immediately quoted $27,872 (exactly invoice). So i headed there instead, and because my chosen color wasn't in stock, and they couldn't guarantee they'd get it (or most likely they really didnt want to try because it's effort they have to expend), I chose the Carbon/Ebony color that was on the lot. I asked for all-season mats to make up for it, which they did throw in. Bottom line, at least in Chicagoland, they are selling the '06 TSX for invoice.

Just purchased an 06 TSX 5 speed auto with Navi in Houston for $28,195, with a total OTD price of $30.215.45. Negociation was done using intial quotes from CarPerks.net (my employer has an employee purchase program for tons of different car models through them), and then sending all the quotes back and forth between dealers and letting them fight it out, all via e-mail. I went to the closest dealership to test drive before I got any quotes, and then I didn't go back until I had the lowest quote in my hand.

One thing that this did do was show that local car dealerships talk a *LOT* of trash about each other. With the exception of the one I bought from (Champion Acura, on the Gulf freeway near Almeda-Genoa), all the dealerships responded to quotes from other dealerships with things like, "Oh, yeah, the reason those guys gave you that price is because those guys are crooks. They usually don't include destination in the quote, and they'll charge you for accessories that they'll forget to install on the car!" and a lot of other BS.

Conveniently, the one with the lowest price also didn't do any trash talking or any pushing me to buy TODAY TODAY TODAY. They just said, "Here's our price--I'll go lower if you can beat it, but it's a good price." He ended up being right

Which dealer did you get your car from?

stanwelks

I was just told by a dealer that the wheel locks and splash guards on the car could not be removed and he was charging $272 for them. Is this a fair amount for a dealer to charge?

Thanks.

Dalahu

The price is fair if you are the dealer, otherwise no.

I just purchased splash guards on line from www.hondaacuraworld.com for $63.70 (they have the wheel locks priced at $35.50). The splash guards are installed with three screws each and the wheel locks are a one-for-one swap with the regular lug nuts.

IMO, paying the technicians $170+ for 12 screw tightenings and replacing four lug nuts is not so fair for the customer.

Visit the above mentioned web-site and offer them what it would cost you to get them yourself. I think that's fair.

gtg710w

I got my tsx from nelly ACURA of GA, through a buying service. I paid total of 28400 otd.

whosurdaddy972

is that with navi or witout?

Wombat

Yes. Like $500-$800 under invoice in places.

And why would any sane person pay invoice (or over) for a 2006 this late in the model year anyway?

Quotes in NorCal for a 2006 TSX with Navi are currently coming in as low as $27,200 + TTL Some SoCal internet fleet managers are even beating that by a hundred or so.

Fatalilluzionz

I Got my TSX for 25,500 MSRP. But I cheated my GF's dad is the manager at ACURA.

tinter

yup, I got mine for 27085, w/ navi, trunk mat, and mud guards just a few days ago. Just make sure you talk to the fleet manager only.

whosurdaddy972

is that a website ? can u give me the link for that

stanwelks

What dealer?

liquidg3n3rati0n

wow that sounds like a rele good there. still looking for an 06 PWP ebony interior with navi. i only found one in socal here in Weir Canyon Acura. The manager gave me some bullshit and said he bought the car for $28,750. ANd therefore cannot sell me car for any lower. I really need some help here guys looking for this certain car with a price of around $27,000-$27800 before TTL. anyone with any referalls to internet managers or specific salesperson of dealerships around my area i would greatly appreciate it. I live in the walnut/rowland heights/diamond bar/westco area. Closest dealer to my place was Thomas Acura which didnt have the car and told me the cheapest is $500 over invoice. Thanks a lot guys

tinter

Santa Monica, but there was a bit of drama involved to get that price... PM if you want the details, I'm pretty sure they won't do that price again. But I did initially get a quote for around 27200 from their fleet manager.

liquidg3n3rati0n

yes acura of glendale just told me they can get the car for me at $27,200. they said it with ease. now i believe i can go lower . ths is an 06 tsx with navi

IranBT

I paid $35,500 Canadian for an 06 TSX without Navi. This price included a spoiler, tint, window visors and 1 year of free maintenance.

Not the most special price, but not that far off either.

Cars are much more expensive in Canada, plus you pay the killer 15% tax which destroys your bank-account.

iozomatli

$27,800 OTD for 06 PWP w/Ebony Interior AT w/o Nav from Sierra Alhambra in CA.

wlhagan3

$26,499 w/o any options for a 5AT non-Nav in Indianapolis, IN at Ed Martin Acura.

Jerome81

Anything fresher than the end of August regarding pricing, particularly Bay Area dealers?

Rocket_man

$27,980 including Dest and advert fee for 2006, AT, Nav, at Sterling McCall Acura Houston last weekend. The car was not in stock but it was on the truck in transit. CG/Quartz. I wanted RBP/Parch but there were no others coming into the houston area. CG/Quartz is working well for me though.

bradykp

that's a good price. beat me by $500 (december 19, 2005), but i got RBP/Parchment!


hahahahaha. just teasing....congrats man. glad you're happy with your purchase.

Rocket_man

Not quite a week old but so far so good. Still "dialing in" the car's features and learning its quirks.

Too Many Cars

$26,106 (invoice) +$200 to go get it; dealer trade 150 miles away. My wife really wanted Silver (ASM?)/ Quartz, 6spd MT (bless my wife), non-navi. Supposedly the only one in 5 states.
Columbus, OH
