| A little history on myself, 13yrs in the Auto Industry, 9yrs on/off with Acura(not a porter, haha--inside joke) So 2.5yrs ago I took my sister-in-law to my old Acura dealership to buy a Certified TSX. She picked up a 2008 Base-Auto(15k miles, retired service car) She paid around $25k+tax for it, bought the Upgrade for the 7yr/100k warranty & put $0 down, financed everything for 60 months. A couple weeks ago, we went back there to look into trading it in(for a cheaper car, didn't do it though). Because of the INSANE RESALE VALUE of the TSX, she was DEAD EVEN as far as VALUE versus LOAN AMOUNT! I have personally NEVER seen this before in my 13yrs......Usually when someone buys a car with $0 down, and tries to trade it in 1/2 through the loan, they are upside down $2k-$3k++++ The BEAUTY of ACURA!!! :king: As far as my feelings about the car?! If you're under 6' tall its an amazing purchase. I wouldn't even hesitate to purchase a clean 04 with 100k miles+ for Honda! Now, if they'd just put the K23T into an AWD TSX or make a K24R(240hp would suffice) the TSX V6 was a major fail IMHO! The market will be flooded with V6 TSXs in about 1.5-2yrs. They had insane Leasing specials on them! | |
