Acura RSX

QuoteWell, heh im not paying for it. My dad and I had a deal and i made the deal so now i get to pick out a car within reason. He payed for me sisters car all up front, so i'm expecting the same here. I think 27k+ is out of reason.

You can get one for a much better price with the employee discount...

Minpin · August 16, 2005, 05:23:41 PM

But by december no more discount, i think. I would get the supplier discount though. It is less though, im not sure of the exact numbers but it is less than an employee.

Is there any way to convince your dad to get you the car now, bearing in mind that the discount wont be available later?

Well, push him to buy it now.

Tell him to call me. I'll sort him out.

Even after the employee discount program runs out it is highly unlikely they will be selling for even close to msrp. Raza, do you know if the shifter is the same one as the regular Outback has? Just curious...

Raza · August 16, 2005, 05:30:05 PM

Is that what you want Minpin? Is it? If it is, you hurt me so...

Minpin · August 16, 2005, 05:30:53 PM

Well he's on a work trip now, ill talk to him later in the week.

No it isnt, on of my freinds(SP?) has a blue base RSX and ive seen a couple driving around and ive always seemed to fall in love with that rear end. I just like the wya the whole car fits together for some reason. No need to get all scared, if i got a RSX not a drop of rice would touch it dont worry.

I don't know, but it might be. I know it's the same as the WRX (obviously) and Legacy, I know that. I believe it's the same as the Outback.

If it is the same as the 165hp Legacy than it is the same one the Outback has. Just curious how it compared to other manuals as I haven't driven any others.

Nothing special.

Well, it's not the best I've driven. A tad notchy, if I remember correctly. But it's definitely not the worst. Better than that Civic I drove.

Minpin · August 16, 2005, 05:39:24 PM

Well we all have opinions dont we, and for some reason i like that car.

Yeah, I get it. It's cute.

<_<

Seriously though.

Minpin · August 16, 2005, 05:42:19 PM

Anyways I havent even considered the Saab till you mentioned it, and the more i think about it the more i like it. It really doesnt look that much like a wagon, too short i think. It may be a great sleeper too, who knows.

Minpin · August 16, 2005, 05:43:38 PM

Wow one minute you were helping me out then the next youre making accusations of me being a ricer.

It will be a great sleeper.

And there's a huge aftermarket for it, since it's mechanically identical to a WRX. I've also got a buddy who is working on his Rex (2004 black sedan), so he knows who to go to when it comes to getting good value on your performance parts. I'm a keg of knowledge, tap into it any time.

I'm hungry. Sorry, kiddo.

Raza · August 16, 2005, 05:45:54 PM

Thats Raza

Hes not serious about the ricer part :)

Minpin · August 16, 2005, 05:46:38 PM

This is why i like the tail end.

Yeah, I was just joking around, though it had a serious message. RSXs are rice fodder. Saabs are amazing Swedish machines (though this really isn't all that Swedish).

Style is always subjective, so what you make like, Raza may not like.

And I happen to like the back end of that B)

Minpin · August 16, 2005, 05:48:12 PM

Yea the 9-2x's are made in Japan.

Not too bad. Nothing special, though. Just another Civic based Honda coupe with a high price tag.

Raza · August 16, 2005, 05:57:28 PM

But I'm serious. If you want help convincing your dad, give him my cell phone number. I'll convince him.

I'm always to happy to help a young, would-be wagon owner.

Minpin · August 16, 2005, 06:32:39 PM

Do you think the dealers would negotiate a WRX? I dont think they would as it seems they are in high demand.

Minpin · August 16, 2005, 06:38:10 PM

I just priced out a WRX to my specificatios to 26,830. I was hoping somewhere in the 22-23k new. I highly doubt that a dealer would go down that much.

I doubt it too, but theres nothing lost by trying.
