My local dealer (Los Gatos, CA) has a TLX Type S in the showroom with a $6000+ markup. So the final price is around $64k. Ridiculous. I'm disappointed that they are doing the markup game.

 

Yea, with everything going on with the car market, you'll be hard pressed to get any deal off sticker. That, added with the fact that this is the launch of a "special edition" model, it's unsurprising that dealers are looking for ADM. They'll make plenty of them ... there's no reason to be paying above sticker for this car.

 

It’s not just the type S either. I was looking into getting a glc 43 last year. A fully load glc last year was going for about 65-69k discounted. Now I’ve seen preowned glc going for over 73k. The market is ridiculous right now.

 

Same $hit, different brand.

 

OP shop around, this topic has been discussed a lot. California market is crazy. Prices are insane but you don't have to pay it.

 

You may have to be willing to travel a bit to get one but someone will sell you a Type S at MSRP. Start calling all the Acura Dealerships until you find one that will then take a road trip!

 

There are dealers in Southern California with 3 or 4 Type S sitting there. I'm sure you can haggle one down to MSRP but might have to pay for the accessories they tend to throw on the cars. You know like the fake alarm

 

Just took my ‘00 S2000 in for its 38,000 mile oil change and saw a $20,000 ADM on a Civic Type-R. Silly.

Patiently awaiting a 2022 TLX Type-S.

 

Just wonder if dealers will also add ADM on 2022 Type-S cars or not ?

 

They will add ADM as long as they can sell the car. Then they will drop back to nitrogen etc. Next to straight MSRP, then to discounts & finally incentives. With our local dealer at 0% interest for TLX it might be coming sooner rather than later.

 

One of the dealership in San Diego had a $15k mark up on a Civic Type R... Took the Pilot in for a recall. I came back a few days later to pick it up and saw that they sold the Type R... There's always someone out there willing to over pay lol

 

As they say, there's a sucker born every minute. If I ever looked out onto my driveway and saw a Civic I paid over $50k for ... I'd probably shoot myself once my brain started functioning normally again.

Unfortunately, I can almost guarantee the exact same price gouging is going to happen with the Integra Type-S ... at least for the first couple years.

 

I'm not actually in the market for a TLX, but I am in the market for an MDX. My dealer's lot looks empty as they have so few cars.

I've never bought a car for above invoice price, so to be even entertaining the idea of "bargaining down to MSRP" is ludicrous to me. I guess I just won't be buying a new car anytime soon.

 

I got $1,000 off MSRP plus a $2,500 Acura loyalty discount on my new TLX. You may have to go out of your zip code but you can get a fair price on a non specialty car today.

For the record the first thing my sales guy said was "NOBODY is going below MSRP!" and an hour later he came back and offered me a $1,000 discount.

 

I never bought a new car for more than 3% below invoice and that included real limited production vehicles...that is my limit...an AMD on a Type S is beyond laughable....

 

I went to 1 Chicago dealer and markup was 8k over msrp so I went to another one 45 min away and had it for msrp

 

Which had markup and which didn’t?

I bought my Type S from Advantage Acura of Naperville for MSRP in August.

 

Joe rizza in Orland, I got my 22 from Mcgrath in Morton Grove

 

Took a 133 days for my ordered 2022 to come in no ADM slight discount. In CA the same car would cost me at least +$10,000 ADM. Regardless of brand you need to shop nationally for price. Recent history, 3 cars in NC, 2 in Oregon, 2 in Georgia. Surprisingly last two were bought locally in NC from the same dealer.

 

I am not a fan of McGrath due to a very poor experience in the past but I’m glad they took care of you. 😎

 

Ive been to all of them, Id say the Naperville one was the best service experience, but Mcgrath Morton Grove had the type s I wanted and no one else did, plus sales was cool. they got me in and out and they gave me real good money for my 19 Aspec

 

did u have any issues with ur mirror lights yet? im gonna wait for a tsb to come out. my buddy works at Acura and said its better to wait rather than have them replace same failing bulbs.

 

My buddy at the dealer ordered a new bulb but it hasn’t come in yet. Well, it may have as I got a call saying a part arrived but I’m also waiting on a new weather stripping by my window as it’s cut short from the factory.

I will let them replace it when I finally bring it in but so far only my driver side has acted up. My passenger side seems to be operating normally. The only reason I had them order it is to add on another case for Acura to look into. I don’t really care to go back every time it happens.

Hopefully the fix isn’t a new mirror assembly when Acura releases a TSB. My car is ceramic coated, mirrors included, and I have PPF on the mirrors. Acura would have to eat the cost of both and I’d likely raise a bit of hell to get it done if I wanted it fixed.
