No such luck (I'm not sure why they are separate entries). It was from that same page.

Dealers paperwork is accepted as is. If a private seller is selling a 2024 ITS for $24k, it'll get flagged and the DMV will say the tax is higher. But there is a minor loophole: If the seller signs an addendum on the transaction saying they sold it at a low price it can go through. But the DMV is not stupid (most of the time). Yes, CT DMV does use the NADA values.

So buying a ITS for $51,995. $1,995 will be taxed at the higher rate. Because we wanted the transaction to stay at a lower tax (cost of the car /here is the breakdown:

$49,396.00 (keeping you at 6.35% tax)

$599.00 dealer conveyance fee

$250.00 CT Registration

$3,174.68 CT sales tax


Total: $53,407.18
But those numbers total $53,419.68. Dealer math. :)

Paid MSRP 12/02 at Acura of Fremont. I waited about 4 months for an Apex Blue/Black. Only SF Bay Area dealer that offered MSRP.
Is the Fremont dealership still forcing add-ons/packages at this time (protection, mats, etc)? The dealership called me in October that there was an ABP/orchid arriving, among other colors, that was unclaimed. However, I had gotten one back in August, so I didn't really continue the conversation.

No, mandatory add ons or packages. They called me too about the same ABP/Orchid and then TEP/Black.

I bought accessories through the dream shop to pick up at Stevens Creek Acura since they were cheaper than adding to the car at time of purchase; however, since the dream shop is no longer linked to the dealerships, the order never went through but they honored the dream shop prices. I know accessories can be ordered for cheaper online but I'd rather pick up locally than pay for shipping and watching for porch pirates.

in my earlier comment, i actually misspoke, it was Pleasanton that contacted me in October. i had been in touch with Pleasanton for some time because it was MSRP+ protection package. at first, the dealership was only taking deposits for "locals," so i was surprised when i was contacted in October. it seemed through a combination of withdrawals or others holding out for specific colors, that i popped up. anyway, Fremont, Pleasanton, .... it's all the same to me--some place in the East Bay--which i rarely ever go to.

Currently in CT, we have multiple dealerships willing to sell at MSRP, but none have a car, or have a color combination that I want.
I am hoping over the next 3 to 6 weeks some allocations roll out and arrive at my local dealers.
I will be ready to buy in 7 or 8 weeks from now, and it would be nice if there were some cars to choose from when the time comes.

and didn't even ask about required add ons. Looked like most of their other cars had over $1000 in silliness

Just picked up a liquid carbon from McGrath Acura of Westmont for MSRP. No addons or shenanigans.

Local in-state dealers all wanted 5-8k+ ADM.
What state are they in?

Is there an easier way to shop dealerships like a national directory or a list of dealerships by volume in each state or something?
I will be ready to buy in 8 weeks, and things around here are abysmal, no cars on the ground, the few that are I am not interested in, and others are half a country away.
It would be really helpful to have a database of dealerships to search to see who has what coming in or on the ground now.
