Those reasons aren't good enough for me to OVERPAY for this package......

Quote:

It can all be financed with the same loan that pays for your new car. Website suppliers usually haven’t tested their parts for 155,000 miles on roads and tracks all over the world like Tochigi, the Nürburgring, the autobahn and the San Diego freeway (okay, most have tested on the San Diego freeway). Few if any offer a four-year, 50,000-mile warranty. And few have made such a concerted effort to find parts that complement one another and balance out performance such that everything feels like it belongs with everything else.

CLEARLY, you don't understand the limited edition, 300hp, AWD, turbo, brembo 4 wheel brake Volvo S60R starts at 38k. That is a REAL package.

This is the same dumb package that makes the RSX a 28k car. Against the 350Z, RX-8, WRX, R U kidding?

Clearly, they did not see what Lexus did with L-tuned (fail).

LOLOLOL

That's too funny. So you're saying that just because you can finance the A-Spec package it makes it OK to OVERPAY for the thing? If that's the case... I'm more then willing to sell you my house for $150k OVER its current market value. You shouldn't mind though... b/c you can finance it over 30 years. If that's to big of a purchase I'll sell you my 2002 TL-S with 45k miles for $29,500. Doesn't matter that it's $5k over book value... you can finance it for 72 months.

You could get all of the those same mods, with possibly better name brands involved for around $1500 installed. Rims and Tires would vary based on your preferences, but I can bet you'll spend less then what Acura charges for rims and tires. It's a rip off no matter how you break out the financing.

Nice looking package but I think most of the people on this board would prefer to choose thier own aftermarket parts. That's one of the biggest factors in modding a car. Making it suit your own taste. Plus you're paying top dollar for the parts when there are less expensive higher quality alternatives.

I guess that's your opinion. But i'm not the one to go looking around for aftermarket parts to put on my car. When I can save time/stress and get the mods done at my local Acura dealer.
The only thing I get done at a offsite is my chrome rims balance at NTB. Other than that hell no.

If you like it and can afford it you should get it. Nothing wrong with it really. Just cheaper if you like to mod your own car which is not for everyone.
