Sorry for making yet another post about price, but I did a search with no luck. I was wondering from all you californians out there, who has got the best price on a 6MT with Navi in California. I was hoping to get an 04 before 05 comes out (save some $$), but was wondering which dealer to start with? Any ideas? I am in the bay area, but can easily travel down south since I know most the dealers here are stuck on their price.

Thanks.

Edit: If you can leave a dealership name / salesman name that would be great. Thanks.

I have already talked to Los Gatos Acura and Stevens Creek Acura, both say about 500 off MSRP max.

I just got my 2004 AT with NAVI on saturday. Keyes Acura on Van Nuys in L.A. Guy named Sang sold it to me, he's pretty cool. The manager's name is Preston and after I had called/visited about 6 dealerships in the area he called and said they had one on the way and would give me $500 off sticker. That's the best offer I got. Everyone else in the area said they wouldn't move on sticker price. Good luck - I love (LOVE) the thing so far!

Sticker? That's pretty expensive ;_; Did you try getting Internet quotes? Of the four dealers that actually gave me numbers, 2 were below MSRP ($500 and $1000, respectively) and the other 2 were at MSRP. Though, the dealer that was MSRP was pretty quick to tell me that he could match and beat what I had been quoted elsewhere.

Everytime I've gone to an actual dealership they said that they are going for MSRP, but the Internet quotes seem to tell a different story.

I think I'll end up going with Santa Monica Acura. The people I talked to were cool and I wasn't ignored for twenty minutes like I was at Tustin and South Bay.

Or maybe I'll give 101 West a call :P

Where is the best website to get online quotes? Is there a website where you can get multiple dealers quotes with just one web form? Thanks.

Keep in mind that while 6MT and 5AT are priced the same, 6MT costs dealerships less (supposedly).

I got mine in LA 6 months ago for $34,350, 6MT with Navi, Anthracite, Ebony.

Edmunds
AutoWeb
Cars.com

MSN has one too, and most dealers have a way to submit a request for a price quote.

There are a lot out there, and they are pretty useful. Try to keep track of who you're sending things to though, so you don't end up resubmitting quote requests to the same dealerships over and over.

Yeah, that seems to be my problem. I am in the SF Bay area, where there are at least 4 acura dealers that I can name off (many more I am sure), but everytime I send a quote through one of those sites it always goes to the same one. I am sure they are fed up with me by now.

PG2G

Cars.com gave me a list of every dealer within 75 or so miles and let me check whichever I wanted to send the quote to.

oguju

thanks, I guess I tried everything except cars.com. That one gave me a listing of dealers which is what I was looking for. Actually came up with about 9 dealers in the area and that is not even all the way to SF yet.

the deal bruce mentions in the first few posts that I replied to on like page 4 or 5 and said was still working is better than $500 off MSRP. PM if you want exact details.

$500 below MSRP - with a few extras. Big selling points for me were their trade in on the old car and the extended warranty basically at wholesale cost (at least according to my credit union). I did get 3 internet quotes but the best they said they could do was match that and none had the colors I wanted in stock, and I was *ready* for the damn car :-) If I could have saved $500 more, oh well. I don't regret it for a second.

And the Santa Monica dealer - they will never get my business. I won't say the jackass's name but I won't tolerate someone talking to me like I'm a complete idiot. Especially a car salesman.

Oh and the 101 West guy is cool - but he wouldn't move on MSRP either (although if you have a written quote I'm sure he'd match it). He's actually the guy who sold me on the car - very knowlegeable and liked showing off the car on the test drive.

always get internet quote first b/c you talk directly to a manager instead of a low level sales person. Then compare prices and let other dealers to beat your lowest price in hand.

go to acura.com official site, you get the best quote from them.

oguju, I bought my 6MT/Nav/HPT from Sunnyvale Acura on Dec 15th. I paid MSRP with free protection package thrown in. At the time I had contacted all the dealers from SFO to Sacramento. Only 2 had 6MT/Nav/HPT combination I waas looking for. I do not think things have changed much on 6MT since. The best I've hear on 6MT/Nav is -500. I'd say shop shop shop and shop. Call all the dealers and try to cross shop, you might be able to do better on 04 when 05 will be out in a month or two.

All the best.

Yeah Sunnyvale acura seems to have one in stock right now too. They quoted me 600 off MSRP online, but only if I purchase by monday. I am going to go see them this weekend.
