Selling my car for a TSX

Well, it's been a nice run for me, but it's time to get a 4-door. My wife and I are expecting a baby in January and the CL-S will be too troublesome with a car seat. I have decided on the Acura TSX 6-speed MT.

I am having a hard time deciding with color to get and wanted some opinions. I have narrowed it down to three colors. Please let me know what you think.

Carbon Grey Pearl



Arctic Blue Pearl



Premium White Pearl

Congrat's on the baby! My suggestion is to get a used '04 TL instead. They can be had for very near the same price as a new TSX (highly overprived imo).

I got rid of my CL because of our expected baby last december and got the wife an SUV. I am now looking at getting a used CL because I really miss it (especially navigation).

Good luck!

I say the Carbon Gray Pearl because I've seen that color on the TSX quite a few times, and it's nothing but a sharp looking car. The blue, IMO, doesn't work too well on the TSX. The white is actually quite nice as well, but isn't as sharp as the Carbon Gray. Plus, think of how many vehicles out there offer a white or blue color, opposed to the charcoal gray look? It's much more exotic I hope you enjoy it!

Smart man. Get the PWP or CG. Can't remember if the PWP comes with Ebony for 05, but if it does, its the best Combo IMO.

I'd take the gray one. However a used 03 TLS would be the way to go. Rick Case has a ton of used TL's on the lot. I was just their getting a part Saturday.

Congrats on your baby!

If those 3 are your choices, I'd say the charcoal. The pics don't show that it reflects well though, but that's just the pics. My first choice would be black, but that's a pain in the butt to keep clean...it takes a lot of time, and with a baby, you won't have much of that!

The grey is a sharp color, but be prepared to see LOTS of other people with the same color. Trust me, I know. If I had to do it again, I'd get something more unique like the ABP. The white is also a very nice color if you don't mind the parchment/plood interior.

Carbon Gray is nice. Blue never sells and White has fake wood in it.

I say the blue or grey, but leaning more towards the blue. I don't like the white.

Congrats on your new addition to you family.

Really ?? I've only seen 2 red TSXs... One was in the dealers showroom.

I'm so tired of seeing the silver/grey imports/bmws/minivans on the road....

My next car will probably be Blue w/ tan interior... Can you guess which color I voted for

SFLA_Type-S,

Let me know when you ready to buy from Rick Case Acura, i'll tell you who to go and see in finance and mention my name as a friend, and they will make you an excellent offer you will like.

fuzzy02CLS is right they have a few used 04TLs you might like, thats also come with an extended B2B warrenty.

I make nothing from it, other then knowing you will get a good price.
