Your TSX out the door? - Page 3

Thanks for welcoming me. I have been visiting this site since I bought my car.....just lurking though. I like the site, and it looks like there are a lot of great people on here.

With the car I got the floor mats, trunk liner, wheel locks, that whole stupid protection package thing (hey 400 bucks for the whole deal wasn't THAT bad), the glass was etched (didn't pay for it!), and I think I have mud flaps, but those are coming off anyway.

All I know is Honda better cut me a sweet-ass deal on the S2K when I get it because at that point I will be making payments to them in excess of $1300 a month!! I guess I am the proverbial 'cash-cow' for them. Oh well....fun costs money.

Welcome, TRAK -- we've seen before about how it seems EVERYTHING in Hawaii is more expensive!
But look at what you get -- you live in Hawaii!

A few months ago we had a member named Vianca who dropped in, and we talked about this a little bit:

who wants to be McGarrett ?

Thanks again for the warm welcome everyone.

You are correct, that is what I fly. I am in Iraq right now, about to go home to my wife after 12 months deployed. I've seen and done some crazy things over here, and I cannot wait to get home see my wife again and get back on the track.

I wouldn't doubt that some people could benefit from the NAV system, but for me, it just doesn't make monetary sense to get it. I'm sure this subject has been covered a thousand times already, so we'll just leave it at that. No worries though.

Thanks for the link to the thread by the way.

how does 29.500 otd ( including tax fees etc) sound in the bay area (8.25%) ?

I think that's impossible. I have the same tax rate and assume the same fees since we are in the same state. If you can get that for a tsx, with nav i presume, then that's simply amazing. I am having a hard enough time doing 30 OTD.

my warning flag goes right up when the dealer does not give me a straightup car-only quote.

sygyzy · 01-13-2005, 05:30 PM

robert - Why would you care? If you know how much fees are and your local sales tax, let them lie and fib all the numbers they want. If you get an OTD price that's fair, it should make no difference how they arrive at that number, right?

robert_tg · 01-13-2005, 05:42 PM

Because "How much is the car" is a very simple question.
car is a basic commodity like stocks....unlike things like intellectual properties, J-Lo's butt...
So if a dealer refuses to answer my very simple question, that to me personally means == he's giving me the run-round, not being straight. And I refuse to deal with people like those.
