Find Acura Dealers in Spokane, Washington

MagicScott- I wish my experience had gone that way. I have tried negotiating with Appleway Acura in Spokane, WA twice now. The first time I had set a max of $43.3K and walked without so much as a "Wait a minute" from the sales manager. The second attempt (today) I offered them $43,850 as my max price and they declined. Interestingly, they never made me a counter offer. The sales manager (this is the second I have talked too) said he would be fired for taking my offer (even though it was $500 over their "true cost"). My salesman hinted that if I came back at $44,440 (this is price plus all season mats, tri-fold cargo liner, and wheel locks) he thought they would bite. I just am not willing to pay that, especially when I see what others around the country are paying. Thanks for the advice. Enjoy your MDX!

We have a new 07 RL with just1400 miles on it. We have the wood steering wheel and knob, wheel flaps, wind visors on doors, spoiler on trunk and wind protective on moonroof, full matsand more. We made a life changing decision, and we are going full time RVing in a Motorhome. What do you think I should get for it? We are in Spokane, and it is gorgeous of course. It is the Blue Gray Pearl color. We chose without nav because we wanted the other options. can e-mail me at bob-elaine@comcast.net Thank you in advance

Has anyone had a decent experience in any Acura dealers for a TL-Type S(6 speed) in Washington(Seattle/Spokane area)? I have been trying to talk to dealers to get a price around invoice but no one seems to be really interested in it. Would appreciate if someone can give me information on their experience for dealers around this area. Thanks A

The northwest seems to have higher prices than the rest of the country...don't forget we don't have that many dealers around the NW for competition. I bought mine 3 weeks ago in Spokane, and the best I could get was $32500 w/ protection package (non-navi). So your number is in line with my experiences. I should say though, I did get a tad over tradein bluebook on my trade after some effort, which probably effected the final price (I negotiated the trade first...maybe a mistake). They were willing to let me walk below that (they also had to ship the car from Portland, as they had no 6MTs on the lot). That shipping charge was included in the price, not on top of it. After I left the lot that day (while awaiting shipping), I called dealers in Portland, Boise and Seattle, some of them had no 6MTs on the lot, the ones that did wouldn't beat that price over the phone, even without considering my trade. The only one that ponied up was Acura of Seattle, which gave me a quote of $32000 even. I ended up with the car from Spokane, because I didn't want the extra drive distance to Seattle and didn't want to renegotiate my tradein...I might have thrown that $500 away on the new trade offer. I've since winced at some of the low offers I've seen on the east coast, but didn't find that out in the NW.

tman3 and indydriver,   I purchased my TSX a year ago to the day, with the deal sealed over the internet. The entire process was relatively painless, and the whole thing was closed in as long as it took for me to make up my mind.   I did NOT have to visit the dealership to convince them I was serious, because the dealership was over 300 miles away (in Spokane, WA). They had what I wanted (SSM 6 MT, non-nav) and were willing to deal. I did not make a killing, but got about $800 off MSRP with the pro pack thrown in. You have to remember that this car was then, and is now, a fairly hot-ticket item.   My experience with an internet purchase was a good one. No hassles and no BS.   I too had labored under the delusion that purchasing a car at the end of the year automatically tilts the balance in the buyers favor. This is not always the case. It can, but, in the case of a hot car like the TSX, the dealer really has the upper hand. Just MO.   Indydriver I disagree that Acura is intentionally holding back production of the TSX in order to push buyers towards the US made TL. The way I understand it, there really is limited factory space, at this time, available to produce the TSX. You have to remember that Honda/Acura really is not a large corporation in the grand scheme of things. I'm not sure where you get your information, but I'd be interested to hear.   Tman3, considering the $500 increase in the MSRP for the TSX this year, $26,300 really is not a bad deal, especially if you get the protection package thrown in (all weather mats, trunk tray and wheel locks). It's about what I paid last year. If you like the car, buy the car. I really think you'll end up loving it.   Bottom line, if you're really serious about getting a better deal than that, I counsel patience. If you wait it out a bit, and try pitting one dealer against another, you'll probably end up getting what you want.   Good luck,   Johnny
