Black/Parchment.

That was just last week, in Virginia. Hope you can work a good deal. You should be able to get more than $1000 off MSRP. That was about the opening offer from a few dealers here. I was able to haggle a little more.

good luck, you'll love the car.

That's a steal! How in the world did you find a new 04 manual w/ nav??? and that inexpensive. I called a lot of places interested in an 04 vs 05 and they all said they had none... those manuals sold out by June! Everyplace I looked and my banks own negotiators couldn't get any dealer to even talk about getting money off MSRP for an 05 manual w/ nav, WTFO?

That was a few weeks ago, and it was before the '05's were really available, and I guess they still had quite a few '04's around, or at least some. Which was still probably longer than Honda/Acura intended.

Some people have wondered if maybe the reason they waited so long to put out the '05's was that they were taking longer than expected to sell the '04's (which would be surprising since the car was beating the original projections, but still) -- and it looks like that's very possible.

So....in between then and now is when the '05's came out, which might mean that this is exactly the period when the '04's basically ran out.

If you can find one (with what you want), of course you'll get it for less than an '05 but not necessarily for as little as what Dralph paid -- because there aren't that many.

Larchmont, who faced exactly the same thing with another car a few years ago.

But you got yours when they first came out. Now you can walk into a dealership and easily pay invoice for it.
Got mine for 26K out the door in TX (6.25% sales tax).

Depends on where you live. We starting looking for ours in Oct. of 04 and there were barely any 6mt in the whole state. We even looked into some dealerships on the GA border. We couldn't get the exact color we wanted but after 3 weeks of searching we finally found one in NBP. We paid $25,500 w/ spoiler & bra....$27,900 OTD. We paid cash. I don't think we did too bad considering no one else would match their price.

All of you are lucky you paid what you did. I just bought my 2004 TSX 6-speed w/o Nav (Nav is a waste of money anyway) in late October 04, and I paid $29,500 OTD! Here in Hawaii, the dealers have this little thing called "lack of availability fee", which basically says "Hey buddy....we're going to rape you on this deal!" On the islands, they have a huge amount of leverage on NOT dealing with you, because if you don't pay what they are asking........someone else will. One reason is that they don't get that many cars sent here, so what they have here, is what you have to choose from.

I was orginally in the market for an S2000 for myself, but they were asking...get this.....$38,500..........not including TTL! I told them to honk on BoBo. One dealer in fact has had THE EXACT SAME S2000 sitting on their lot for 16 months and would not take my offer of $34,000 OTD. Bastards. So I bought the TSX for my misses and I will get the S2000 when I get back mainland in about 10 months.

So there you have it. I have to say it again......you are all lucky to have paid what you did.
