Sup guys! Feels good to be back on AZ, I used to have a 03 TL-S but downgraded to a camry for almost 2 years but now I'm back!

I have already set my eyes on 2011 Black on Black TSX. I still have not decided whether I should get base or tech.

I live in Southern California, I got quotes from Montclair, Sierra, Acura of Calabasas, Anaheim, and DCH Tustin.

So far the DCH Tustin is offering me the best price.

2011 Black on Black TSX Base = $29,800

Tech = $32,900

Again these are OTD prices (includes all fees, taxes, etc), what do you guys think? Should I take the offer or should I still shop around for cheaper prices?

I just picked up that exact same car today (black on black 2011 TSX with tech)! Don't know what taxes and fees are like in Cali, but what's the actual cost of each vehicle? I think I was really lucky that I was able to get mine for 29k + destination, taxes, etc.

If I am correct, in state of California, Los Angeles County, tax is a little more than 9%, and if I am getting offered the Base at $29,800 OTD then it means the car itself is only costing less than $27k. And if the tech is getting offered at $32,900 OTD, which means it will only cost about $30k flat.

Go to thousand oaks and ask for Nick. Tell him Alvin referred you.
2011 Base Auto
$26,866 plus TTL
Tax is 8.25% in Thousand Oaks

Came to about $29xxx out the door with TTL

its 9.75% tax for LA county

Yea that's just about the same price I'm getting quoted at DCH. Maybe at DCH is a little bit higher, $29,800 OTD with TTL.

Is that the lowest every dealership can go? anyone bought one cheaper?

TL Tech 18

Go with the tech pkg. It's well worth it .....

Hi Defcon, I was looking to buy a TSX also there, mind if I use your name too?

That's a great deal, I was looking to get under $30K OTD. So $29,800 is a good deal.

JavertHL

Sorry, quick reply since there's no edit button. Even though tax is 8.25% at TO, you are taxed at your home address, so as defcon said, LA County is 9.75%. TTL will be around $3,250 with that rate.

OFFICIALLY BACK IN THE ACURA FAMILY!

I bought the CBP base, first time buying a new car, never knew it can be so much fun haha. It was almost like a bidding war, you would be surprised how some dealers would want your business.

I got it from Montclair Acura, for a final OTD price of $29,360. It included the mud guards and wheel locks, not like it matter but some other dealer wouldn't include it.

Ride is a little LESS smooth than I expected to be, handling is average, I don't know if it's me but this car has a lot of resemblance of a honda accord (driving wise, the way it accelerates, brakes, steering etc), gas mileage is EXTREMELY good in my opinion. I was averaging 38 MPG high way and 26 MPG city on the way home. NOT TOO BAD!!!

Congrats! My dealer threw in wheel locks for free and made it sound like that's standard practice.

hello fellow jersey member ! congrats on the purchase, montclair acura is pretty cool

JavertHL

Did you guys call or email dealers?

sgv.ambitious

Sorry I'm not from the east coast, I'm from southern california. Thanks for the welcome tho! I'm guessing there's a montclair acura out there in jersey too?

sgv.ambitious

Yes I did. I called all the dealers in Southern California. I put them into a bidding war frenzy, calling dealers left and right, letting them know that there's someone else can beat their price. I got the lowest quote at $29,000 FLAT! But didn't go to that one because it was too far. I went with the one that gave me for $29,350.

Now that I think about it that $350 is almost half of the interest that I am paying for the 60 month loan with 0.9% APR. . . .but oh well too late now
