to cmartin411----Lindsay Acura Columbus Ohio also Mathews in Marion-same price but I purchased from Lindsay--MDX TECH 47,151 OTD

Here's what I agreed to at Matthews Acura in Marion Ohio (great sales guy, Don), after mucho research on this forum. Thanks guys. TL SH-AWD Tech, (no 19 wheels! those tires no go in snow!) List 43195, minus $5000 and throw in all season mats. Plus 280 or so in title fees, plus tax. Oh, and gimme that 0.9 apr for 36 months. No trade, no coupons no lease. FYI, the original offer was also for lease. This is just the first offer from the dealer: 3 year 12 K. $5000 due, 462 per month includes 6.75% tax. I asked for both quotes, but I loved the TL so much I want to own it. Jim in Ohio. I will be back here! if the deal closes any different next week. They are building me one in nearby Marysville, Ohio

I made a post a few weeks ago about my 2007 Odyssey with 50 K miles having shifting problems. Just wanted to update my posting and let everyone know that my dealership-Ike Honda near Marion, Illinois replaced the torque converter under the Honda warranty. I did have to prove I had the trans fluid changed at 30 K and they fixed it. I have yet to drive it, but my wife who drives it most of the time said it now shifts fine. They also had to replace the battery under warranty as it would run down while sitting with the motor off and listening to the radio. So, it appears this is a success story--at least for now. I do tip my hat to Honda for honoring the warranty without a fight.

Richard, she did trade in a 1956 for a 1957 Ford. The 57 seems to have been for sale awhile ago: On the run after having embezzled $40,000 from her employer, Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) hits the road and flees. Noting a highway patrol officer that has his sights set firmly on her, the paranoid crook decides to swap her car at a dealership, trading her 1956 Ford Mainline for a more modern 1957 Ford Custom 300. The change maintains the attention of the intrigued cop, and it’s only when bad weather forces Marion to spend the night at a motel (not the best move) that she earns some breathing space. For more interesting info go to: Psyco Goofs AND 57 Ford from Psyco

I have good news to report on my below invoice offer on the 2010 Base. The dealer came through as promised with a $26,769 sale price. We leased instead with Acura Financial, so the numbers change a little bit, but they reflect a better deal than I could even get from a broker: $423.77 OTD cost (advance first month payment of $358.77 and registration at $65) $358.77 per month for 36 months (a $1007.93 estimated tax at 6.75% (Ohio) rolled into the monthly payment) 10,000 miles with $.20 per mile over $18975.60 residual value/purchase option If I wanted, I could have been OTD for purchase at $26,769 + $1,807 (tax) + $65 (registration). It is an amazing deal, and I have no idea how they do it. Frankly, I don't care. The closing was amazingly smooth and took only about 30 minutes. We drove to Acura of Dayton from Columbus (about 100 mi.), walked in the showroom, looked at the car, signed a few papers, and drove away. I know many people in these posts are East Coast or West Coast buyers, but Midwesterners should take advantage. The salesman, Richard Estes, is cool, efficient, and friendly. He could be none of these for the price, but he even bothered to sync our phones with the car in those short 30 minutes. Acura of Dayton has similar deals going for TLs too, but he says delivery may take up to a month for any car, including new TSX purchases. We were lucky to get black w/ebony interior in just a week or so once all of the faxes had been exchanged. Full disclosure: If you're in the Midwest, I would avoid Lindsay Acura (Columbus) at all costs. They're the ones who told us that the car would be dropped at port, be a salvage car, or otherwise. Wrong! I should report them to Acura for dumping on another legitimate dealer. Acura of Marion (salespersonMatthew Ault) and Acura of Columbus (salesperson Ginny Cryder) were helpful, but neither could beat Acura of Dayton's deal. Acura of Dayton's owner appears to be aggressively outpricing the competition. Kudos to him/her and his/her well-run dealership.
