Would you buy the TSX if its over $28,000

[Ray]

:D personally if its over 26k i wont be buying one.

[hondafreak4eva]

I'm around that 25-30 range... if it's a Type S I'd do it :)

[fschambe]

The ONLY 4banger over $25K I would consider is the S2000 BABY! Especially if over $28 + $2k for navi... get lost... remember this is acura's crossover performance luxury vehicle...

[edechamplain]

Have somebody sent the survey results to Acura ?? I think we should help them with pricing !!

[ralco]

you know i think you are right edechamplain
Acura should know how we the consumer feel about the price :)

[kradue]

Acura's in a strange market position. The quality is luxury or near luxury, but their prices currently undercut the competition by quite a bit (compare a TL type-S vs. BMW 330i fully loaded, for example, yes the Bimmer is better in almost every category, but it's $8k more give-or-take), and their reputation is near luxury (not in the same boat as Mercedes, BMW, and Lexus, for example). They want to improve upon their image as a luxury car (as the article about punishing dealers that advertise Acura's for less than MSRP indicates), but they know their consumers are more price-conscious than the competition's.

I wasn't very interested in any of their cars besides the RSX before the TSX was announced (I like smaller cars, would rather buy a home before I buy a $30k+ car, etc.) and the TSX seems like a great compromise if it's around $25k. If they price it at $28 then it's priced the same as an bare bones 325i and a partially loaded A4, which I don't think they want to do. TSX seems like a great value at $25k and only a so-so one at $28k. The standard options are nice, but it's still a 4 cyl.

I'm hoping that Acura will come to their senses and the TSX will be priced on the lower end of the $25k-30k range and that there will be one in my future :D

I think if Acura wants to grab some sales, they had best price the TSX near the $25k end without nav. Mazda RX-8 is around $27-30 well equipped, with a 4-yr 50k warranty, with 250 HP and 6-second times to 60, with arguably a more aggressive and attractive style. My last Acura was an Integra GSR and I'd love to rejoin the ranks, but their price point needs to be right.

[rAiN]

why is RX-8 so cheap?

[kidsdo@yahoo.co]

I'm not sure about the price other than Mazda wants to make some inroads into the 350Z and G35 coupe territory I suppose and wants to price it aggressively. U.S. economy is soft , unemployment is up, who knows? The car has been getting solid reviews all the auto journals. Hey, a reasonably priced TSX Type-S would generate some heavy interest from us enthusiasts who happen to need room for a couple of kids,too. I sure hope Acura VIP's read this site regularly!

I agree with you on this for sure. :D

[skateboarder816]

dude yeah! i hope they don't price it around 30k. that's outrageous! if they do that then they have lost a customer.

[ralco]

im with you on that guys:cool:

[juarez24]

I agree with all of you. Anything over 27500 with navi is too high. Its a nice car but come on. Price it right Acura

[Gump]

I think the pricing should start right after RSX type-S price, so about 24,000 base would be reasonable

[johnej]

Well, If the poll was still open I would vote yes..

[larchmont]

Well, If the poll was still open I would vote yes..
Me2.
In fact, I did pay more than 28K. :D

[rls2981]

the car is worth every penny no matter what deal you get

[Doc]

I bought mine for 28,890 with Nav, and fog lights and protection package. The quote for the car was 28k even, then I added the fogs and prot. package to bring me to that total.

So yes I would by it for over 28,000, the NAV model anyway.

[ChinchillaX]

I paid $26,500 for mines back in May 2003. I wouldn't buy it if it was $28k because there are so many better cars with V6 power at that price. Not worth the price for a 4 banger.

[Doc]

I agree Chen that a lot of other cars are more powerful at the 28k price mark, but I still would buy TSX. Take 2k off the price I paid (28,890) for the Navigation model and you have 26,890 as final price, which is only some change higher than you paid. Think of it like I spent 26, 890 for the car, and spent another 2k for a really cool computer system to go in it.

[Kawaii]

yes, i did...it was 30k with taxes because i got the oem kit and wheels

[johnej]

See more and more people are seeing the intrinsic value of the tsx....

[the_whoster]

through carsdirect.com... their price lies in the $25Ks... i don't think that includes the tax and all that stuff, but nonetheless, it's still "under" $26K.

[Duke]

No, $28k was out of our agreed range. We got a 5AT with nav and protection package for $27.3k + tax/tags.
