Holy Christ Joel, that is absolutely beautiful :thumbup: Milano Red and those rims go great together. Great looking car man, congrats :thumbup:

with all the options we got ours for $30 + taxes, tags and title

that includes the full body kit, spoiler, fog lights, and mp3 player...a good rule of thumb with a dealer is go find online accessories prices (usually 15-25% cheaper) and use those prices and then tell them labor is 10% of that price to give a total...it's fair and you'll have to buy the car close to msrp so they get their std profit

also if you finance always get quotes from your bank (checking/saving, credit union) and use that to bargain for good financing deal

we are pretty happy with it and i'm removing the resonator this weekend to free up power and we are going to do modifications via comptech (header, intake, 1" drop springs)

04 Acura TSX

Nice color, rims, and body kit...congrats on the purchase.:thumbup:

How do you and your wife like the TSX and is it auto or the 6spd?

jaje

We like it a lot...it only has 800 miles on it now

btw it is a 6spd (i'm used to my proteges tranny that is already starting to grenade) so driving the tsx makes me come to such a realization of how well honda can engineer a manual tranny

So why this and not something like an IS300???

jaje

well for one thing fwd is better in bad conditions than rwd as most of the weight (engine) is centered over the driving wheels that also steer (double benefit)...2nd b/c of this trait we want our family car (we have a kid) to be the safer transportation and an honda product is reliable and has 5 star passenger safety across the board

Um, why an IS300? TSX handles just as well up to 9/10, has a much much nicer interior, exterior is a lot more classy, FWD is much better in inclimate weather, is cheaper, navigation system is much nicer than lexus', offers a better stereo from the factory. nicer interior materials, nicer transmissions..I can go on and on. Only reasons I can think of to buy an IS300 is the engine (but the K24 is spectacular in the TSX) and the prestige factor, which is BS.

After my mother spun our FWD Buick in incliment weather, I have seriously doubted that BS that they spout that says FWD is better and chalk it up as propaganda. I never had that problem when I had my Camaro.
