I'm interested in an 08 red nav tsx at paragon acura in woodside. I live in pittsburgh and need a fellow member to check it out b4 I drive out. anyone willing for some cash? tomorrow (saturday) would be great. please reply.

 

dont do business with paragon. if you're going to buy a used tsx. make sure it's an 06 or an 05. if you ever decide to start tuning/modding it, you'll understand why.
and btw, paragon sucks BALLS!!!....

 

I have no plans to mod...too old. so paragon acura really can't be trusted? why? the car is a cert. 08 with 22k miles. the carfax is clean. should I still stay away?? I really would like this car. are u willing to check it out? that would be huge...

 

My car was purchased from Paragon Acura and everything is legit. Don't let one person's experience deter you. Every dealer is out there to make money at your expense, just be smart, thorough and careful. I was planning on going to Paragon sometime next week for some warranty work.. but since u need someone tommorow... I don't think I'll be able to help.

 

I may be able to check it out for you, just PM me the specifics .

 

perfect excuse to drive the tl

pm me

 

"Dark Knight" and "Greco", I PM'd both of you. If either of you could make it down to the dealership before it closes at 7pm tonight, that would be sweet. I just want to confirm that the car is really "certified" quality before I commit to a deposit on the car and a 7 hour one-way drive next weekend. I have no one else to trust but other ziners.

I'm in the process of selling my '08 TL this weekend to a gentleman in Philly, and I am going to try to complete a courtesy-trade at Paragon if everything works out. Any honest opinion from you guys about this '08 certified TSX would make me feel a whole lot better. I, like most on this forum, tend to be pretty picky about my cars. So your input is very, very appreciated. If you guys say that you would buy it for yourselves, then I would feel pretty good. Thanks.

 

idk...
my 04 was certified.
and carfax was clean
but im 100% sure it was in an accident.
you can take your chances, but im not the first person to have problems with them

 

Guys,

Thanks for your help and willingness to check out that TSX for me. I received a call from a fellow Acurazine member on Sunday that Paragon had apparently sold the car on Saturday. Whether that's true or they just placed that listing to "rope" buyers into the dealership remains a mystery. But my search for a car will continue. I still think I want a 1st gen TSX with Nav, so I'll wait for the right one. But thanks for your opinions and effort.

 

check out the nyc better business bureau and ripoff.com it seems that Paragon has some problems

 

I got my type-s from them and have had no problems at all. Like Elegant said before don't let one persons' opinion deter you.

 

don't buy from paragon, i bought mine there. I regret it...

its convienient to get to, but the service takes hoursss. I sat there and waited for several hours before i could even get my car back after they called me to come get it.

theres a thread somewhere i posted about their bad service when i first got my car. Pretty upset about it. They're service manger was an A$$, and always tried to shade his way out of stuff.

I made an appointment to get an acura loaner 1 month in advance, made sure 1 week before and 2 weeks after was free. Go in for the service, "sorry we're all out of loaners" they ended up giving me a ford focus from enterprise down the block. Made me pay 40 bucks for the "under 21" insurance.

Stay away from paragon acura.

 

So far me and 3 of my friends have had no problems with paragon.. We only see 1 service rep, his name is kevin. He's looked out for us so far.

 

im going to Paragon tommorow to pick up some stuff. i have a good friend of mine working the lot there plus i know the menagers there and im sure i will do buisness with them again in the future last week i got my car from there traded in my old tl .As a salse person Sam is the man and if u wanna get a car let me ask them first how much would they sale it frst i will pm u my phone number so u can txt me tommorow with ur questions etc

 

Thanks for your opinions and information about Paragon Acura. I actually just bought a certified '08 with nav this past week from Ramsey Acura. I love the car. I think I got a pretty decent deal too...$22,700 OTD before I pay PA sales tax. What do you guys think?

Anyway, thanks for the comments.

 

How many miles?

 

30k.....a little more than I wanted, but the car is pretty clean and with it being certified, I wasn't too worried. After driving it home, I absolutely love it. It has much more fell than my '08 TL, better braking and handling. Everything that I didn't like about the TL, I love about the TSX.

 

I bought my 05 rl in paragon acura didn't really have any problems with the buying process other than it took forever to sit with their finance guy.
As for their service i have to say they are good and bad.Good, I installed a subwoofer and my boys father accidently drilled a hole in my brake booster. Needless to say paragon had my rl for 2 weeks trying to find the problem.They replaced the calipers, pads, abs unit.Then they found out it was the brake booster. So im thinking they were gonna charge me a ton of money. They only charged for the booster and labor which was 1400 and my boys father paid. Bad, my ciggarette lighter outlet stopped working and they told me 3 times they fixed it and it still doesn't work.It really depends on who you talk to over there.
Oh and they have a bad rep due to a former finance guy that was letting people drive off without approvals. Then asking for the cars back when they get denied by the banks. Oh he was also using other customers as co signers for loans. He's in jail though.
