Interesting 🤔
I’m wondering why the concept of an 84 month loan, then paying it off so soon. I would think you would lose more money that way
By paying early you save interest. So it's not. Bad option if you want to give your self nkre cash flow and lower payments Incase things get tight..

Acura RLX
I got my Apex Blue and Orchid interior two weeks ago. I love the color combo. The interior gets hot in the sun. Most of the interior is still black with some white/light accents. One thing I wasnt expecting was how much road noise there is compared to an RLX I came out of. I would suggest the APB/Orchid all day long

I’m in Texas where it is HOT!!! I know this sounds crazy, but I swear the Acura sunshade makes a huge difference when parked in the sun. Our daughter has a Bronco Sport and she has the genuine factory sunshade for her Sport. Same thing, you can tell a huge difference when it’s been in the sun all day vs cheap store bought sunshade. Just a thought…

Finished my deal at Acura Columbus yesterday and drove car 400 miles afterwards. Was the same as mentioned MSRP plus $100 wheel locks and $250 doc fees. Nothing further. Vaughn Lockett, the salesman, was great. The finance person was also great. Informed her I didn't want anything additional and it took maybe 10-15 min from start to finish in her office. Longest part was finance processing after signing paperwork from salesman. 10/10 experience shame my local dealers didn't want to make it happen but no regrets!

The salesman mentioned they are getting nine allocations for the year and all are spoken for. He did call other people before me when they received this particular car but those folks passed on it based on color or didn't want to place a deposit to secure the car despite the vehicle being in the dealer's possession versus being put on a list. If you're in the region and trying to secure an MSRP deal I would still reach out.

Congratulations!!! I’m glad you had a smooth transaction. Sad that some of the Texas dealers just suck. How was the drive home so far?

It has been very enjoyable. Did not test drive or sit in one before buying and mine is first one I'd seen in person. Currently in Thompson Station near Nashville staying at a buddy's place. Back roads here are fantastic and will be taking it out this morning. Still on break-in time and mostly highway miles not helping so I've been mindful of that.

Hoping to make it to your neck of the woods (Lime Creek off hours and the hill country) later this year after the hell that is Texas summer.

Congratulations to both you and Acura Columbus!

Great new car and a pleasant, civilized transaction? Imagine that!

Looking forward to pics and your impressions of the car.

Enjoy the new ride:cool:

I don't know how many of you are in proximity to Northern Virginia, but I just did a quick search on the Acura website out of curiosity after noticing how many Civic Type Rs are in inventory locally and I just happened to notice that a few dealers have a TREMENDOUS amount of Type S inventory, and more on the way.

If the Acura website is to be believed, Pohanka Acura alone has 3 in transit and 7 ON THE LOT.

7.


Radley Acura appears to have quite a few as well.

If some dealers have as many as half a dozen or more cars on the lot, I'm struggling to find a reason why anyone would have to pay over MSRP.

Acura's website shows cars on lot that have come and gone from stock.

Pohanka is my local dealer and the only ITS I've seen in stock is the demo. Meaning, ITS that have come in were reserved/pre-sold and out the door.

Also be aware that both Pohanka and Radley charge a $5,000 markup plus their installed accessory prices are two to four times MSRP plus $989 in documentation/processing/dealer fees.

I've purchased three Acuras from Pohanka over the past 20 years and had regularly gone there for service and tires. I've tried to make a deal for MSRP but being a loyal customer doesn't matter. They want their free markup money which I refuse to pay so I've taken my business elsewhere.

YMMV - good luck.

Great context. I figured there had to be something up with that- what this means is that Pohanka is obviously a high volume dealer, and that people are happily paying markups.

And also that Acura's inventory website is useless trash.

That isn't great news for people in that area getting a good deal on a car.
