Hello!

I've been in the market for a new vehicle for about a month now, and I've worked a dealer in the area down to $25, 197 out the door.

The car is a 2009 Acura TSX Base model. Glacier Blue ext, black int, 9,200 miles.

Is this an okay deal? Should I wait for a Navi? Is this gonna be tough to resell in 6-7 years?

Thanks much!

 

Are you sure you want to buy an 09 with 9k miles on it? i paid about 26500 for mine, (base, grigio, 6mt) with only 100 miles on it back in January.

 

5AT or 6MT? Glacier Blue isn't the best color if you ask me. You should be able to get your dealer to $23.5k in my opinion.

Long story short - don't just get the car because someone is selling it to you as a "deal". Get the car you want. You've already waited this long...

 

Is this a base or a premium? Not knowing where you live this is extremely important.

Bases are sold in Canada and have cloth interior and lack many other options. The premium is the lowest model sold in the US.

 

Thanks for the replies.

This is in the Bay Area, CA.

5AT

No Tech (leather INT, Bluetooth, USB, No Navi)

So I should wait out for $23,500 out the door? That's like $21,500 before tax/fees?

 

That would make it a premium model, not a base. US has premium and tech trim levels only. Canada offers 3 trim levels.

 

Yeah but a lot of dealers here in the US call that model "base".

I would not pay that for a used non-Tech model, and I think your $23,500 OTD price would be best.

 

That may be the case but it's 'technically' wrong. It may just be my OCD kickin in, but I get annoyed when a premium model is refered to as 'base' when an actual 'base' exists. And if a dealer was smart, they would refer to it as 'premium' and not 'base' anyways because 'premium' sounds higher class.

 

In Canada , Acura offer the Base model w/ cloth interior and moonroof for C$32,900 because Lexus offers IS250 RWD for C$32,350 (no leather or moonroof).

Having stated that, I would wait for a Tech model and may be a different colour beacuse US$25K is still a lot of money for a used car.

 

Did you take a look at the resale value at Edmonds.com? They are poster, KBB does not have them yet.

 

KingKory, which dealer are you going to (i'm in Vacaville, CA)
