What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Acura TSX
| Price of the Acura TSX: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Got it for well below invoice |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
It was $5000 less than an A4 and $10000 less than a BMW 3. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
inexpensive in its class |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
The TSX is a lot of car for the price. The only extra cost option is navigation, which I did not get. Everything else is standard. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Best value at the price point, compared to the competition (Lexus IS, Infiniti G35) |
| Price of the Acura TSX: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 201-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
too high |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Just seemed a bit pricy for what you were getting, but ther was no faulting the overall quality feel and execution of all aspects of this vehicle. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
For the same MSRP as the Accord V6 w/ 6SP, the monthly payment on the lease was about $100/mo. more. The dealers were also very firm with their pricing. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 205-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Dealer unwilling to negotiate price. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 200-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
Too expensive for what you get as a used car. Nothing I can see warrants this high resale value for what is essentially a European Honda Accord |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the BMW Z4
| Price of the BMW Z4: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 2dr Hatch 330-horsepower 3.2L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
Due to poor sales the local dealers were offering cars a dealer invoice |
| 2003 | 2dr Convertible 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
Its a great value used, not so much new. |
| Price of the BMW Z4: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 2dr Hardtop conv. 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
a bit expensive |
